"I Carry A Badge" Leather Concealed Weapon Permit Holder

[Crossfire]

Hmmm, not sure Mrs. sjfcontrol would approve. But I'd volunteer to ATTEND it!

I really thought I heard you volunteer to host! What a perfect way to introduce Mrs. Sjfcontrol to all your friends and collegues!

The Crossfires will make plans to attend, and we will help with the invites, too.

Everybody hear that? Halloween CHL party at Sjfcontrol's place! Be there!

I was really hoping for a Houston soiree.

You host the Houston area soiree. We can do it in simulcast!

[sjfcontrol]

Well, Crossfire has close relatives in Houston -- perhaps we could throw a party there!

My Condo Association rents out our Recreation Center. I should check into pricing and then see if anyone on this forum is actually interested.

Why not wait for the TX CHL Forum day the end of October and we can all get together there - those that have badges and those that don't.

Though people always balk around here at the idea of a CHL badge, I think there are places where IDEALLY (focus on the word ideally) concealed shouldn't always mean concealed. If I had to walk in a scary area to my car, I wouldn't be opposed to a shirt, hat, badge, sash that indicates, "Warning CONCEALED WEAPON PERMIT CARRIER," which might eliminate the need for me to react in the first place to an attack. I would love for my wife to be able to have CHL written all over her clothing.

If a bad guy knows your armed, they may very well shoot you in the back of the head instead of trying to threaten you. Your wife running around with CHL holder all over her could easily make a theif want to steal her gun or even cause a gang banger to want to take her out for sport. This idea that people are afraid of you because you have a gun is simply not true. You and your wife aren't scaring anyone with your guns. Watch a couple episodes of that inside prison show. Bad people will feed you your gun.

Keep it a secret and surprise the bad guy. Then you and your wife have a chance. Let em know your armed and they will just take you two out commando style. Nobody is afraid of you and your gun... trust me....PLEASE!!!!

Please don't take my post as a challenge or even as an insult. For all I know you and your wife are two of the toughest folks around. I have spent more than my fair share of time around bad guys and I am trying to get you to realize they are to stupid to be afraid. They will simply alter the way they attack. Don't let them know what you have to defend yourself and maintain a low profile. Chances are good you will never need to use those weapons. Let folks under estimate your abilities... that will give you the advantage.

Personally, I see a guy who I know can beat me down, I hit him with everything I got knowing that I must take him out hard and quick. Bad guys do the same. My daughters husband is an ex-professional wrestler and very large. He rarely if ever gets messed with. He is also a great big pussy cat.... unless he feels threatened. he has mentioned more than once his worry about getting into a confrontation is that his size will cause someone to over react and shoot him rather than simply trying to fight him. Same goes for being armed.... they know your armed so they over react out of the fear that you will shoot them.

Maybe you haven't been around this area in awhile but McKinney is fast becoming a "big money" area to live in. We have just recently started marketing to that area. Sure, there are a couple bad areas there as there are anywhere, but I sure don't feel threatened by anything McKinney has to offer. It is really a nice up and coming community these days.

I agree...which is why I live there!

McKinney, Texas was also recently voted the #5 best place to live in the USA by CNN Money Magazine.

You can't turn on the TV these days without seeing your story happening in open carry states every day.

Don't get me started on bank guards and armored car couriers who open carry, There must be hundreds getting killed "commando style" every day in Texas alone.

By your thinking, there would never be a robbery of any establishment with armed gaurds. There would also never be any armed car couriers robbed. Both happen all the time. Apparently the gun showing or even the knowledge of the courier having a gun, didn't scare off those bad guys.

You make me curious now. Do open carry states have less crime??? (based on percentage of population?) By your thinking, they should. Another problem with your analogy is that you are comparing trained gaurds to the average Joe Smoe citizen. Joe Smoe is not nearly as threatening to a bad guy as a cop or trained professional gaurd.

I just returned from running around Portsmouth, VA and surrounding historical sites and failed to see a single case of Open Carry.
