Re: Carrying at an INS checkpoint

I carried through the checkpoints on hwy 90 on either side of Del Rio many times last year. I was never asked for an ID, just the "are you a citizen?" question. If they had asked for an ID I would have shown TDL and CHL. It never really occurred to me to be concerned about it.

Financially supporting gun forums

I'm posting this question here because this is the only forum I read that doesn't ask for money. The forums I read most often are Glocktalk and Arfcom. I don't own a Glock but the discussions in the GNG lounge are usually interesting and I just like the way that gun folks think. Arfcom is a crazy an...

Re: .22 conversions

If you have a CZ-75 or any variant the Kadet Kit has been great for me. I had read that I would need to get another slidelock for my PCR to get it to lock open on the last round but that did not prove to be the case. The instructions with the kit talk about using a file to fit the kit to the gun but...

Re: GRB Gun Show ?

Thanks for the info Bevans, I feel better now about just turning around and heading back to the house when I saw that line. I got there about 10 am and the line was way beyond any I've stood in for anything for years. My only interest was ammo and I didn' expect to find much but thought maybe I coul...

I went to that show for one reason, to come back with an RRA AR-15 lower and did that. Probably could have bought it $10-$20 cheaper online but shipping and FFL would have evened it out. I almost made it out the door but came across another dealer with one LPK that included the RRA 2 stage NM trigge...

About 16 years ago when a teenager I came across about 4 oz of mercury. I swear I played with it for 300 hours before someone told me how bad it is for you. I fully expect to go insane in my 50's. About 50 years ago when I was almost a teenager my dad brought me a medicine bottle of mercury from wo...

What to do with the old card

I asked this in the waiting room but never got an answer. My first renewal came through not long ago and today I finally got to make a run back to Houston to get ahold of it. In addition to the new expiration date of 2012 it shows the real me, four years older and greyer and 40 pounds lighter than o...

I've bought some Barnaul practice ammo at gunshows and Fountain Firearms in Houston usually has some available. No bargains but no ripoffs either.

Shore 'nuff Mama went home today and my card was in the mail the neighbor was holding so I guess mine went through in just under six weeks. If there's any money left there I'll be drawing social security before I have to deal with this again. Somewhere in the back of my mind there's something about ...

Reasonably brief stay in this room

Sent my renewal app off from the Hallettsville post office on 18 May and today (26 June) logged in and saw "Application Completed - license issued or certificate active". When that message came up the first time around it came in the mail that afternoon. Don't have the plastic in hand beca...

CHL renewal class out in the country (a bit long)

Finally got through a renewal class on Wednesday evening and sent the paperwork off to Austin via certified mail Friday morning. It's been an adventure. My current license expires in early September and I fully intended to get the class done in April but it didn't work out that way. I had been worki...

Starting the renewal process online

My CHL will expire in September and today I recieved a letter from DPS with a PIN and instructions for starting the application online. I went far enough to see that they will want my SS#, TDL#, and credit card info. I will probably go with a full service class that provides everything for the renew...

Possible conflict for renewal

My license expires in early September of this year. I expect to see my renewal notice in early March. Is that realistic? I figured I would take the class in April but I'm bid on a job that will have me working seven days a week with unpredictable breaks in Louisiana for three months. It could start ...

TheRising, not to compete with those recommending PSC but just to add to what you know Bayou Rifles has a couple of ranges, one of which isn't too far from where you will be. The range near you includes several options including one of the few 1000 yard ranges in our part of the state. This club is ...
