Re: Easy Breezy - State Fair 2011
Went through Gate 2 Friday morning just after opening. Only a couple of security wanding people prior to the entry stiles and ticket booth area (no line). I had my card out and cupped in my hand ready to show as we approached the gate area. The screener saw it and simply waved me passed him. No poli...

Re: Really bad jokes
When I die I hope to go peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather.
Not screaming and crying like the passengers in his car.

Re: How was your fair experience?
We approached Gate 1 on Friday morning (10/09/2010) around 10:30 am. The very thorough (and possibly new) security person was wanding a gentleman in front of us over and over.. having him remove his keys, phone, belt buckle, etc. Finally she approached me at which point I showed her my card. She lou...

Re: Silencer for 1911
I believe Texas law frowns upon silencers; § 46.05. PROHIBITED WEAPONS. (a) A person commits an offense if he intentionally or knowingly possesses, manufactures, transports, repairs, or sells: (1) an explosive weapon; (2) a machine gun; (3) a short-barrel firearm; (4) a firearm silencer; (5) a switc...

Re: A disappointing State Fair episode 10-1-09
I thought about what the police officer said about this being private property. I remember talking with him about that before the 'record-taker' showed up. He was convinced even though I told him that it was owned by the city of Dallas and was recognized by the Dallas Central Appraisal District as s...

Re: A disappointing State Fair episode 10-1-09
Went to the fair at 10:30 am this Friday morning, entering Gate 2 (near train museum). There were about 4 people in line. When the wander came forward I held up my CHL. She politely and quietly pointed me to the DPD officer just inside the gate. After I purchased a ticket I went over to him. I showe...

Re: 7-11 Stores UPDATE
Thanks to the efforts of many I am happy to report that the offending sign is now gone. Only an ugly glue spot on the wall remains where it was. Notes on the entry at texas3006 indicate that a corporate, multi-state chl'r responded to anothers complaint and that he welcomes all chl holders to all st...

Re: Texas State Fair 2008
I proceeded on my ultimate quest...to eat my way around the fair grounds. And to try to find that officer, right? I looked for him in every single place I could. He wasn't at Fletcher's, or at the food court or even at the other fine establishments that I visited. I even went back for a second corn...

Re: Texas State Fair 2008
Went Thursday. At gate #1 the guard started to wave the wand and I held up my plastic and DL. He looked at it for a few seconds then said "check in with the officer", pointing to a squad car parked quite a ways away from the gate inside the fence. As I stood in the ticket line I looked tow...

Re: 7-11 Stores
Do understand that the vast majority of 7-11 stores are not actually owned/operated by 7-11. Maybe so. When I went to their website and was able to pick out this location from a drop down list of their stores to file a complaint. I remember that a while back I had issue with another store on a comp...

7-11 Stores
I visited a 7-11 store today. Upon departing I noticed that they had put up a batch of new signs on the exterior walls. Among the usual "..crime to consume alcohol on premises.." etc was one that caught my eye. Ten feet up and legal size / wording was a 30.06 sign! I sent 7-11 an email voi...

Re: hotel safety deposit box
How secure are hotel safe deposit boxes? Anyone ever use one to store his carry weapon when traveling to places off limits to CHLs? Normally, my car becomes my "safe storage" in situations like this, but suppose the hotel parking is valet only. Valet parking means I would have to secure t...
