OK, thanks, I had never heard of that.

You can delete your duplicate posts, just click on the x at the top right of your post, and then type in duplicate when it asks for the reason for the deletion.

I think you will find that members here run the gamut from won't leave home without it, to only carrying on occasion. You will also find that we all hope we never have to use our guns shoot anyone else, even in self defense, and take steps to avoid confrontation, and try not to be in locations, or circumstances, where that would be likely to happen. Everyone has to find their own comfort level. I carry everyday, and I usually OC. Others only carry CC, and each of us have reasons for our decisions.

Just out of curiosity, I know what a Spyderco, and an Emerson Wave, are, but what is a "zip tied" Spyderco?


Anyway, we are glad you found the forum, and feel free to ask any questions, we have former, and current LEO, attorneys, former and current medical personnel, housewives, house husbands, mechanics, just about every profession, you can name, and plenty of opinions. We are very respectful, and do our best to agree to disagree, if there are differences of opinions.

Keep us updated, on your journey towards getting your LTC, and if you have questions, someone here will have the answers, and they may even be correct.

Corps of Engineers. A Federal agency that control areas around dams lakes and some rivers.
The areas can be found on Google maps or the Corps of Engineers web site. No firearms are allowed, by Federal law.
Texas State parks allow handguns carried by LTC holders either CC or OC. Fishing in State parks requires no fishing license. All of the rules can be found on the Texas Parks and Wildlife web site.
A long gun can be legally carried almost anywhere in public in Texas. I don't recommend walking around downtown Austin with an AR wearing camo, unless you want to speak with Austin's finest, it is legal. I would reccomend a 410 snake charmer, with an 18 " barrel for snakes. It's lightweight, and not as cumbersome as a longer barreled shotgun.
You will find that Texas is a much more firearm friendly place than where you left. Most people you meet will only complement you on your gun, or show you what they carry as an alternative, Then invite you to go shooting with them.

Just curious: Was the local wildlife human or animal?

Thanks!

A three foot snake swam onto the bank while I was baiting a hook and was maybe a foot away from me before I realized. Didn't get a really good look at it but I'm 90% sure it was harmless. No pinched neck so not a water moccasin. I gently persuaded it with the tip of my fishing pole to be elsewhere (live and let live) but it did get me to thinking.

Later in the day when I was hiking back to my Jeep I surprised something that ran off through the underbrush and sounded suspiciously like a pig, so that was pretty much the clincher.

You can carry a long gun (rifle, or shotgun) without an LTC, in Texas. As long as it's not COE land. I't a little more cumbersome, but there is still plenty of good hiking and fishing available between now and Sept 1st. (Sept 1st is also the day a new resident hunting and fishing license is issued)

What happens September 1st?

GC §411.173. NON-RESIDENT LICENSE. wrote:(a) The department by rule shall establish a procedure for a person who meets the eligibility requirements of this subchapter other than the residency requirement established by Section 411.172(a)(1) to obtain a license under this subchapter if the person is a legal resident of another state or if the person relocates to this state with the intent to establish residency in this state. The procedure must include payment of a fee in an amount sufficient to recover the average cost to the department of obtaining a criminal history record check and investigation on a nonresident applicant. A license issued in accordance with the procedure established under this subsection:
(1) remains in effect until the license expires under Section 411.183; and
(2) may be renewed under Section 411.185.

In other words, just submit your application using your TX Drivers License.

This.
