PHOTOSHOP! Forget programs like photo editor - they are essentially useless. You should be able to pick up a copy of photoshop elements for under $100. It will give an amateur photographer all they will need in order to enhance their pictures. The learning curve is not big at all on elements and you...

Hmm...Apparently I live in a law abiding neighborhood. Only six in my zip code, and none within a couple of miles. Maybe y'all should move to Plano. :grin: -Xander Here is the Texas website to search by name: https://records.txdps.state.tx.us/DPS_WEB/Portal/index.aspx I also live in Plano, but I th...

For some reason, there seems to be a ton of child rapists around here. That's just lovely. Well, statutory rape fits in that category. A 18 year-old guy and a 16-year old girl having sex and then the parents of the younger girl getting wind of it and pressing charges pins a sex offender conviction ...

Sorry to break the news to you, but the blips on the map are basicaly meaningless. 90% of all child molestation is done by family members or people close to the family. Those are the ones that you have to worry about whether you believe it or not!

I read this before bed last night and told my wife that my 10 year old would know better. The guy "teaching" her was a complete moron and should suffer the legal consequences and has proven too stupid to be allowed to own a firearm. I hope the kid lives and doesn't have too many health pro...

The article ignores the fact that there is always the next conflict that we will be going to. Regardless of who is in power, the US is always involved in something somewhere and it still involves ammo so there is little to worry about. As has already been said, surpluses of ammo would be a good thin...

The difference is that guns have been around for centuries and school shootings seem to have started around the time shrinks started doping kids in large numbers .... Really? A brief bit of historical research proves this to be 100% incorrect! Royal High School, Old Town of Edinburgh, Scotland - Tu...

Considering this comes from the same source that claimed eating soy at a young age increases the risk of homosexuality, I would say that this article is, at the very least, suspect. WND is not known as a source of reliable news and has little credibility. One last thing that people need to remember ...

People keep referring to the value of human life versus property but that is not the true trade off here. The real trade-off is the loss of security in your person and home as well as our loss of human dignity. When we allow these scumbags to enter our property, break in and steal our possessions wi...

The Ft. Worth "hero" is the nightmare of concealed handgun carry. shooting away, oblivious to public safety. Does anyone honestly think a good cop would have shot in the direction of a dark parking lot where innocent people might be? Nobody is good enough to know for sure they can hit a m...

The guy probably would have been OK with the 5 shots through the windshield. My guess is that the 9 shots after the vehicle passed were what caused the legal problems.

Shooting victim? Interesting terminology. Personally I would have gotten a good description if possible and called 911. Tools for a life is not much of a trade in my book. Especially since it was a detached shed being robbed. The homeowner while legally protected, and rightfully so, could have avoi...

The wait is over

The plastic finally came today after a total of 59 days door to door (date I mailed packet to date received.) Processing time from the date that the site showed as processing until certificate complete was 43 days. The shame of it is that I just got back from vacation and am spending the next couple...

Status just changed to Application Completed - license issued or certificate active. I guess the license will be in the mailbox when I get back to Texas from vacation.

I am also curious. You state in your post that the photos are signed. If they were, in fact , signed where did you sign them? It would make no sense to sign on the front as the photos are going to actually be used for your license.
