Very interesting - I may submit my effort for peer review before I send it in.

How does this work? How does an ORR call their bluff? I'd be very interested to know this tactic. Might prove useful some day!

Essentially, you are requiring them to produce documents that support their decision to post 30.06 signs, or that support their opinion that it is an enforceable sign. Quite often, the response is going to be "none" and they really hate having to say that. I plan to use the information in other efforts.

Can anyone file an ORR? I would like to file one with Plano Independant School District. If anyone can file, is there a format that must be held to, similar to filing a SCOTUS amicus brief, or do you just write to the organization and say "ORR why do you have 30.06 posted?"

Yeah, we left "Baby Huey" behind. If you remember the comic, the description fits.

Huey didn't hunt and I'm not sure he knew which end of a gun was which, so he was safe with them. He was a hell of a horse to have at a fire scene, not a lot of smarts but you could set him a task and he would do it.

I remember seeing him running from a collapsing wall, dragging a hose, with two other firefighters holding on to the hose for dear life. I don't think he even knew they were there. He would have been great in the NFL if they could keep him pointed in the right direction.

I spent a lot of years as a Lt. and one as a Capt. and had ALL the schools that were available, but I basically was a nozzle man at heart.

Sitting around the firehouse on a Saturday afternoon, beer, pepperoni, sharp cheese (which the chief hated) and Hoppe's #9. Life doesn't get much better than that.

Are you talking about that new station over on Egret Bay Blvd???

Or the old stationhouse I recall over off of Hwy 3 near the new PD building...

Now that it is a semi-paid organization (I left before that idea came to pass), I am sure the 30.06 idea came straight from the city who knew there were a bunch of us that were "gun enthusiast" who did a lot of shooting and hunting. And some of us even had CHL's! Gasp!

And that if we wanted to work a shift or hang out waiting for a call...That more than likely we'd have a firearm in our vehicles...But we knew we should not bring one into the building, knowing we probably wouldn't have time to secure the weapon if we got a call...Obviously...

We figured that was a good thing...But knowing a city government tends to not trust us at all anyway...Thats what probably drove the issue to post the facility...

Anyway...Long on gas I suppose...

ROFL! I can remember a bunch of us sitting around the firehouse cleaning our guns after sighting in for that weekend's deer hunting trip, and a call came in. As we ALL piled onto the trucks someone suggested that maybe we should leave one person behind to guard the guns, at least until the radio operator or ladies' auxiliary arrived.

Boy, them were the days.

And Plano Independent School District, with non-compliant 30.06 signs at parking lot entrances.

Dallas Love Field airport.

Actually the signs are 30.05, which doesn't directly relate to CHL, but the language they use on the sign indicates that they expect it to deny CHL also.
