keep in mind, if you are arrested for DWI and have a handgun in the car, you will probably be charged with Class A unlawful carry of a weapon.
Additionally, you cannot get deferred for a DWI conviction in texas

Re: Shall Sign Legislation-NFA
That is what they requested. Instead the ATF decided Under the proposed rule, a legal entity would be required to complete the following steps in addition to completing the applicable Form 1, 4, or 5 before it is permitted to make or receive an NFA firearm: 1. Complete and submit proposed Form 5320....

Re: Shall Sign Legislation-NFA
The upcoming rule change, which will probably go into effect Jan 1, will require CLEO sign off for trust and corporations, just like a personal application. Arizona, Kentucky, Kansas, and Utah have now passed shall sign legislation to prevent CLEOs from continuing to refuse signature of NFA forms fo...

Shall Sign Legislation-NFA
With the upcoming rule change, trusts and corporations will unlikely be a safe avenue for persons wishing to legally purchase NFA restricted items. I find it highly doubtful that the ATF will exclude the upcoming CLEO certification for trust forms, especially since their new 41p form draft shows the...

Re: OCTC President and Wife Arrested
In the end it really doesn't matter if the arrest was lawful or not, the antis have their anti-gun news piece to attack Open Carry specifically and gun rights in general. If you are going to be an advocate for something and your in a leadership position relating to it then you have to focus strictl...

Re: Cabelas Allen "you're printing!"
I was told by my CHL instructor that printing was grounds for loosing your CHL. He also said if holster is visible, its the same thing as gun visible and its more or less brandishing. I recently moved here from Oklahoma and they just last year passed laws that allow open and concealed carry, which ...

Re: Whole Foods in Lakewood (Dallas)-unenforceable 30.06
Whole foods can care less if they affect the gun-community, they make plenty of money.
That lakewood location where you took the picture had a shooting in the parking lot earlier this year. I'm glad to see they have taken such a proactive step to ensure the safety of their customers

Re: CHL holders insurance policy
asbandr, You're repeating a sales pitch, almost verbatim. This is an organization designed by attorneys to make money. Do you think there possibly could be differences in how it is applied and how it is sold? Are there any exclusions on legal fee limits? Does it pay for expert witnesses? Does it pa...

Re: Close call with Glock
Stick with Kydex, or a Kydex leather hybrid for this exact reason. Second, when re-holstering, LOOK when you are doing it. The last range I worked at was pretty good about getting people to do so. Taking that 1-2 seconds to be sure you have a clear holster are well worth avoiding that ND.

Re: Concealed Carry around a Felon
Here's something interesting. An article in the Daily Caller concerning constructive possession of a firearm with a felon living in your house. The theory is that if you have a felon living in your house you could be charged with providing a prohibited item to a felon even if the weapons are secure...

Re: CHL holders insurance policy
It is probably not a bad idea. Be sure that you visit with the attorney face to face and have a clear understanding of what it covers. I would also suggest that you find it through an attorney that practices in the county you live in. This is important for several reasons. First, you can easily ask ...
