Re: Using you Concealed plastic as identification at places.
Been a while since I posted.... I used mine last year when in New Orleans and they wanted my ID to get into the Casino. After staring at it for a very long time and asking where I got it, the lady finally let me through. She said that it must just be the new Texas DL's that she hadn't seen yet. She ...

Re: Argument against open carry
I would enjoy it simply for the protection it would give CHL'ers against accidental unconcealment. I am not against open carry at all, but I thought the following already gave us protection against this... UNLAWFUL CARRYING OF HANDGUN BY LICENSE HOLDER. (a) A license holder commits an offense if th...

Re: Church Carry -- Question from Renewal Class
In my instructor classes, DPS never stated that churches, etc. were off-limits without notice pursuant to TPC §30.06. That doesn't mean it didn't happen in your instructor's class; especially if one particular attorney was teaching that part of the class. :thumbs2: Chas. Maybe in your instructor cl...

Re: Church Carry -- Question from Renewal Class
"I understand the confusion. This is why is stated that DPS wanted us to be sure as instructors to tell you that you are not to carry period into a church regardless if they have the signs posted or not. But then I also stated that the church and other attorneys interpret it as you did. If the...

Re: Church Carry -- Question from Renewal Class
IANAL but as I understand it, the only alternative to a church posting would be if they gave written notice... like in the church bulletin. I've never seen that, but it's a possibility. Don't read the bulletin!!! :thumbs2: One of the main reasons for me getting a CHL was specifically to carry at ch...

Re: Excellent experience at the state capitol building.
Seems like having a separate lane for "CHL" kind of takes the "C" out of "CHL"?!?!?

Re: Texas3006.com Update: Now with 100% more pictures!
I can however add a second row of cities in the next update and allow 10 cities to be entered if you think that would be a good compromise? You're the first to ask for more cities in the watch list, so if you can tell me how many you think would be helpful to you I can probably make it happen :thum...

Re: "Possession of Unauthorized Firearms"
I would say that "unauthorized" in this case means any weapon which is not specifically authorized by your employer. :iagree: To the OP's question on if it would be illegal for him to carry... AFAIK Employee handbooks do not determine law. I suppose they could get you for trespass, but ju...

Re: So I have a hypothetical; camping, rowdy crowd, LEO
There are a range of opinions on this board, running from "I'm not showing my ID (or CHL) to anyone whether I'm armed or not because I am a sovereign citizen and the cops can go to hades, Why would someone that falls into this category even bother with getting a CHL in the first place? :roll: ...

Re: Carry at work???
Although I'm unclear of your exact work arrangement. I would only worry about the company you work for directly. If he didn't say anything about weapons, and the property is not posted... then carry away. Irrespective of carry issues, you should always be concerned about your employment status! IANA...

Re: Called a venue to find if they were 51% before going...
Don't you have a reasonable expectation that ownership, management, and policies can all change with time? I usually view notification as valid for THAT visit only. The next time I visit, everything is reset (unless there is some sort of contract that specifies an amount of time for the notificatio...

Re: Called a venue to find if they were 51% before going...
The manager responds, "We're not. We're just under 50%, but we post one anyway because we don't want guns in here." <--- :shock: :banghead: So I then say, so you have a sign posted that is incorrect? He says, "Yes. We don't want them in here" (Them referring to guns I guess) Eve...

Re: Cabela's handgun sale April 15-25, 2010.
You have humbled me with your better grasp
of the Cabela's website navigation. Thanks for
finding the elusive (to me anyways) handgun page
I have never been able to find this page either... i've always just looked at the handguns in their ad online.
