Re: Gun Control Vs DWI
But DUI/DWI isn't the only conviction for which you will lose your CHL for 5 years (or is it 7?). Any misdemeanor conviction will cost you your CHL. You write hot checks and are convicted of a misdemeanor, your CHL is going to be revoked, even though no firearm was involved in your crime. That is t...

Re: Arlen Specter switches to Democrats.
Arlen Specter admitting he's a Democrat is kinda like Barry Bonds admitting to steroid use. As if anybody had any prior doubts...

Re: Gun Control Vs DWI
If I understand Texas law correctly, if you are convicted for DWI you will lose your drivers license for 1 year max (first offense), and you will also lose your CHL for 5 years . It makes no sense to me that you will be allowed access to the tool used to break the law in the first place long before ...

Change of address while CHL application pending
I'm planning to take the CHL test this month, and I see that it could take 4 or 5 months before my license is issued. It is likely that I will be moving within that time period. Staying in Texas, of course -- it took 45 years for me to get here, and I ain't leaving! ;-) My concern is that a change o...

Re: Non-CHL Vehicle Carry
I did not know robberies/attacks/assaults, etc only happened late in the day in Waco. ;-) ;-) Why not car carry all the time? Hope you get in the CHL class soon. Glad to hear you are doing it! Good point. ;-) I work from home, so don't get out much during the day. But lately if I go anywhere I find...

Re: Non-CHL Vehicle Carry
Texas has a law (Section 9.22 of the Penal Code) called necessity. This says that you are justified in breaking the law if it is necessary to prevent imminent harm and the imminent harm is greater than the harm caused by breaking the law. So, if you are legally carrying in your car while your wife ...

Non-CHL Vehicle Carry
First.... new member here, been lurking and learning a lot. Thanks to all for the great info! :thumbs2: I have a hypothetical question regarding the carrying of a firearm without a CHL in a motor vehicle under the Texas castle law. I've not taken the CHL test yet, hope to do that at the next opportu...
