Re: Juveniles car

I was told in another forum that that juvenile could be charged if under 18 w/a gun. They were talking about TX laws too, not fed. I'm surprised that DPS has NEVER covered that w/instructors. :( It's covered in class... Penal Code Sec. 46.13. MAKING A FIREARM ACCESSIBLE TO A CHILD. (a) In this sect...

Re: Is deadly forced justified when construction company try

Three scenarios come to mind: Scenario 1: Lawful eviction. If the homeowner has received the legal papers showing lawful eviction, then self defense would not apply because PC §9.31 includes the phrase "immediately necessary to protect the actor against the other's use or attempted use of unlaw...

Re: CAll TO ACTION

I'm denying that they're qualified to carry, based simply on the fact that they're military. You and I have more experience with carrying concealed than the majority of the armed forces. I've not seen a single mention of training, licensing or testing in ANY of the knee jerk "Let them carry gu...

Re: realtor carrying

I would find it puzzling and a demonstration of poor judgment if a realtor didn't arm him or herself.

Especially a female realtor getting a phone call from a stranger to show the stranger into a vacant home . . .

Re: MN Dentist illegally kills Cecil the lion in Zimbabwe

5 dead service members at a recruiting station and people are worried about what a Dentist did with a lion? Sorry I think there are more important things that need fixing or attention than the death of one soulless creature. Well, I was reading this thread and was mentally preparing the similar obs...

Re: No Duty to Retreat

My home, occupied vehicle, occupied business is a sub-set of my 'Castle' but I do NOT need to be in fear of my life. If I confront/shoot someone that has broken into my home, no one is going to ask "Were you in fear of your life?" There is a presumption. Not trying to nitpick, but only tr...

Re: Lt. Cmdr charged with a crime

Just saw an article that the Navy is denying that charges will be filed. The United States Navy is denying this on Facebook ... stories of Navy personnel being charged with an offense are not true. There is still a long way to go in reviewing the facts of this tragic incident, but at this time we c...

Re: CAll TO ACTION

So, it would be perfectly fine for teachers to break the law and carry in schools as long as they don't get caught until they have to use the gun on an active shooter? I have no doubt what the response would be on this forum if a teacher with a CHL was busted with a gun in school if there was not a...

Devastating New Argument Against Gun Control

Gun Rights Advocates Have A Devastating New Argument Against Gun Control. Here It Is. I'll note the key thought is gun control is not so much about guns, but rather about power. It also points out the uselessness of arguing with liberal gun-control advocates because their argument is never in good ...

This was a court case quote in a different forum that addressed the airspace ownership issue. "'We own so much of the space above the ground as we can occupy or make use of, in connection with the enjoyment of our land. This right is not fixed. It varies with our varying needs and is coextensiv...

Re: No Debate

I agree with your frustration, and won't let mine be taken. I know for a fact that I am the least important person on this forum. I have no strike or pull with anyone anywhere. I don't agree with this statement. "Least important"? You have a voice here that matters, just like the rest of us.

Seems crazy to pay HazMat shipping fees for 1 lb of powder. You can have a lot of powder shipped for one flat hazmat fee.
