A fellow gun enthusiast at work emailed me the flyer/pdf file so I just copy pasted it so I hope that is ok.

My neighborhood, how nice!

Public domain. No copyright protection. No problem.

Yeah my thinking was along those lines - just making sure it didn't violate forum policy.

Somewhat off topic, but I believe that facility was bought by St. Thomas HS (next door) for an absurdly high sum in the past calendar year... a randomly important thing since I teach at a rival of St. Thomas It may not be administered by STHS yet, but ownership is relevant for carrying.

In any event, if that's the case as I believe it to be, I wanted to give a heads-up for those at the meeting: I think it's a 46.03 location!

Thanks for sharing this. I'd like to see more these meetings posted on the forum so that we can all be aware of them. I'm waiting to see if Plano PD holds one of these.

OCT is there with some dumb questions, and the chief is getting mad

Round 2 of how can we get around this..

You will be able to watch the recording on their youtube channel (and the streaming if it was posted soon enough) and it wasn't

Yep, there were two guys there making things awkward/uncomfortable. But all in all I was very pleased with how it all went!

Watching it on Youtube now... Sounds like the Chief at about 40:00 is telling people not to shop at places that post signage And I have to agree.

The more I hear from Harris County DA Devon Anderson the more I like and respect her as an attorney and a DA.

Chas.

Amen! That was my feeling last night as well.

Go Eagles!

The tall bald dude in the light blue polo shirt from OCT came across like a childish nutcase. He is an embarrassment to all licensed carriers.
