What about making 30.06 apply to off duty LEO's as well? It wouldn't take away any owner rights and might make them think twice about putting up a sign in the first place.

Re: Need some help to see if I can get my permit..

I am a 22 year old male, I work full-time and am going back to school full time in January.. When I was 19 years old I was arrested for Class C Misdemeanor assault and ended up on deferred adjudication for it. I do not want to go into any details about this arrest because I feel that it was wrong a...

I would like changes in Texas law to either remove the 30.06 and allow carry in all public places, or require locked storage, metal detectors at all doors and adequate security for all places that want to post a 30.06. I'm going to agree with txinvestigator on this one. This is a bad idea. I agree ...

Re: What I would like to see

If a business strips a person of their ability to defend themselves, that business should be strictly liable for any damages resulting from that action... just simple fair play. This might be a stupid question but is they a law that exists that protects a business with a 30.06 sign? Also assuming w...

I’ve actually considered Hi-Point. I think the price is what got my attention the most. However, like others, I did not like the look. In the end I decided that it wouldn’t be a good gun. I didn’t know anyone who had one and I couldn’t find a range that had one to try. On top of that the clo...

Question about carry ammo?

Being relatively new to the gun community I’m reading up on all the gun gossip over the years. One of the stories that I love to read about is how the media over publicized the facts about the Black Talon’s in the early 90’s and how the rounds where voluntarily discontinued. Looking back at my...

I am surprised they did that. It seems like the perfect excuse to use a spring loaded prosthetic arm and hand calibrated to exert the proper amount of pressure on the glass. Sounds like they got in a hurry. Exactly, I think that would have been the smart thing to do. They have made plenty other art...

Mythbusters and gun safety!

I’m sure how many of you have seen Discovery Channel’s Mythbusters. It a neat little show that takes common myths and attempts to prove or disprove them. On several episodes they have examined gun myths like shooting locks off, firing bullets in the air, bullets fired in water, ice bullets and o...

I do both

I do both. I have my XD40SC that I normally carry on my person, but I also have a RG-23(.22LR revolver) in my car. I really don’t like the RG-23, but I keep it in a place where I can access it more easily than my XD40SC if I’m sitting in my car. I like the idea of using the .22lr mainly because ...

You should receive it long before the weekend starts. If its coming from Austin I would say it *should* take about two days(to D/FW area). Perhaps you might get it today?

Question about my firearm purchase

Ok I've been a long time reader but only recently registered. For a while I had a question about my firearm purchase, and thought this would be a good time to ask. Nothing like public display of ignorance to get things started. :grin: I got my CHL a little over a year ago and a few months before tha...

Re: Why the delay with Ohio?

Anyone know why Texas hasn't established Reciprocity with Ohio? From what I’ve been told, the reason Ohio doesn’t have a Reciprocity agreement with Texas is that Texas allowes people under 21(mainly members of the arm forces) to have a CHL. For what it’s worth, I would love to carry in Ohio. ...
