Re: Talked to the office of the Chairman of the Licensing and

There are a few things I do not like about Mr. Perry, but all in all, this state is in pretty darn good shape, considering the current economic climate. I'll give Perry and the legislature credit for not flying the state into the ground the way a lot of other state governments have; and on the basis of that, I'd vote for him again despite any differences I may have with his beliefs on other non-gun topics.

I think they guy's doing a good job, so I'll vote for him again. More importantly, I cannot see anyone else doing a better job.

If you send a written apeal for a denial, dps may try and hurry the process or contact someone for backgrounds, but that's no different then the many legislative action sheets they get. You won't get a hearing infront of a judge, you can try, but until it happens, it's all talk at this point. Again, you can put pressure on them, you can contract your reps, etc.. but unless you are "denied", you won't get a denial hearing with a judge in court.. Denial hearings are only for people who have been denied and told they can NOT get a license(for criminal background, back taxes, child support, etc..), not for people who are "still processing" and are upset at the processing times. The difference with someone getting pulled over for speeding and getting a ticket is way off base from reality. I haven't heard of any dps employee and/or handgun instructor being "arrested" or "fined" in the entire history of CHL. I'm just trying to talk reality and the way things are, not the way things "ought to be". Until reality changes, I tend to stick with that, until I see proof otherwise.
Do you have facts or actual examples to back this up?
Because if you do, DPS is liable for far more.

Re: Talked to the office of the Chairman of the Licensing and

Look at it this way.

The speed limit on I-635 is 60mph. The rest of the traffic is doing 75, as are you.

Just because DPS isn't stopping everyone going over 60 doesn't mean that you're OK to break the law.

That's pretty much what's going on here. DPS is going WAY over the "speed limit" and nobody is stopping them.

Re: Talked to the office of the Chairman of the Licensing and

I wish I could interpret laws any way I wanted to.
"Judge I interperet 545.352 to state that speed is always reasonable and prudent if the vehicle in question is red with black pinstripes and can accellerate from 0-60 in 5 seconds or less, therefore this ticket must be dismissed."

infoman wrote:one quick thing.. you can't have a denial hearing, unless you've already been officially denied. that means they send you a denial letter. they don't have "hearings" for people who are just unhappy with processing times or background checks taking long. You won't get a denial hearing without first being denied.
You've been officially denied, per the law, if you're outside the timelines listed above. If DPS isn't allowing hearings, they will open themselves up to further lawsuits, and will end up spending more of our tax money on defending their indefensible behavior. Since it's our money, and not theirs, I wonder if, like most govt orgs, they just don't care.
