Re: LTC 104

Well, I called RSD this morning and the individual with whom I spoke, though very polite, stated that the form would be AVAILABLE in May and if I have not seen it by the middle of May to call back. I told her that by the middle of May I expect to have taught at least two classes and their email stat...

LTC 104

Back in January I (and I assume all other Instructors) received an email from RSD about the new LTC-104 that would replace the LTC 100 and LTC 101. Their email stated that as of 1 May, 100s and 101s would NOT be accepted. I have emailed RSD 4 times asking when the form will be available (I cannot fi...

Re: Haiti - probably don’t want to visit

Back in 2010 following the earthquake in Haiti, I was involved in prepping and training a large number of military personnel who deployed there for humanitarian relief (primarily medics, engineers, and MPs). When they got back, all whom I spoke with were disgusted that they had gone down on a legiti...

Re: TSRA Annual starts today

Surprise, JMorris and I missed you at the AGM. He is quite correct, TSRA has had to make major budget cuts in order to stay solvent. The digital version of the Sportsman is great, and as most, I miss the print edition. Unfortunately, at $150k + per year it was not possible to keep it going and stay ...

Re: Bad Gateway error

I have not been getting Gateway errors, but for the last week plus have had a devil of a time just getting to the site and when I do, it does not remember me. Some days I find it impossible to even get to the site.

Re: It figures

Watch it with that really old stuff. Some of us are north of THAT number and still instructing. However, it does take a lot more effort to stay in shape than it used to.

Re: Lakewood Church

Local media out of Temple was rather emphatic that the rifle was purchased "Legally" in December. If she had the convictions as stated in a number of sources, WHERE was the rifle purchased and WHAT ID was used for NICS?

Re: It figures

Come on Jay, keep your finger in the instructing business, at least part time. I do it at an indoor range that has three other instructors. I do one Saturday and two or three weekdays a month. :txflag:

Re: Can the USPS get any worse?

It isn't just packages. Simple birthday cards sent to my kids from Killeen, 7 days to Denton (a three hour drive) and 10 days to Kansas City. Cards to my Daughter in Bonn, Germany only take 7-10 days through the APO system.

Re: Nobody but Art Acevedo

No community input or public process for a job paying more than a quarter of a million dollars a year? I say again, YGBSM! Acevedo needs to go away, far away from Texas. Wish the Austin City Council would call Garza to account for this, but knowing Austin, I doubt it. Bet Austin sees even greater lo...

Re: LTC-104 - New form that replaces the LTC-100 & LTC-101's takes effect on 1 May 2024

It is NOT on the RSD Forms list. The one I had attached to the email was not really attached, but embedded in the email and showed what info went where.

I too would like to start using now IF IT WAS AVAILABLE

Re: First Responder Training 21-23 Sept

IIRC DPS stated that they had not received any class completions for FR training. Great instructor course, glad I took it, but really do not see that there will be much (if any) demand.

Re: Official DPS stats on LTC for 2023

Dr. John Lott in his 2021 testimony before the Texas House Committee regarding permit less carry stated that for a while following passage, LTC applications would go down, but after a while and if advantages of having a license were better known that applications would eventually go up. I am still s...
