It took me almost four months to get my first CHL after I mailed the
application package. That was in 1996. I called a couple of times
(this was WAY before E-mail was prevalent) and was told that they
were swamped with applications, and that they would get to mine in
due time. I finally got it, but ...

They have the 'No concealed handguns' signs, ' under authority of
Texas concealed handgun license law, (Texas Civil Statutes,
Article 4413 (29ee) )'.

I have looked at the statutes and I don't get their reasoning.
They don't seem to fit into any of the "prohibited places" categories.
They don't fit ...

I attended the one in Dallas in, I believe, 1996. "Concealed Carry" was
a new law, only in effect for a few months. I did run across a few people
who already had their licenses, though.

Just about any and every company associated with firearms has a booth.
They give away a lot of little goodies ...

I agree the initial cost may be prohibitive for some folks, but I am not
buying the idea that spending 8 to 10 hours on classroom and range
training is too much of a time-commitment.
Capital B, Capital S!

A license to carry a concealed handgun is not something to be
taken lightly. A person gets ...

...Good to see you over here on this forum, too.
I figured "20 Miles from Hell, 2 Miles from Water"
was probably in Texas.

It just goes to show that if left to their own devices, liberal do-gooders will
let their true nature show. When I read this story I was reminded of the
late Carl Rowan, the nationally syndicated columnist and staunch anti-
handgun advocate. Although Mr. Rowan believed that no private citizens ...

They should have posted the "limit" at twelve. That would guarantee
that every redneck and 'Bubba' (and I use the terms respectfully)
would have killed at least 36, and tried to hide all but 12 of them
in the spare tire or over the gas tank.

I have no idea how that idea popped into my head, and I ...

dolanp, I took it in Ft. Worth. I might add that the $75 fee
was for "renewing" licensees only. I think the cost for newbies
was $100.

The first two times I did all the paperwork for my CCL
(first time "original", and second time "renewal'), I did all
the leg-work myself. I took the required class at my gun
club for a small fee (30 bucks), and I took care of the photos,
the fingerprints, the notary, and all the rest of the ...

Texas' cost of CCL license may be a little higher than other states.
But, heck, look at how much bigger place you get to "carry" in.

I wouldn't mind if the CCL was free. But being from the 'old school',
I know there ain't no such thing as a free lunch. And if it costs me
$125, $150, to have the ...

That was good info to have. I think I'm gonna have to get
some of that "PowRBall" to try out in my CZ .40.

Has anybody had much experience with this ammo? I only learned about
it a couple of weeks ago, and I am anxious to try some.
It seems like such a simple concept, I wonder why no one has done
it before now.

Hi, everybody. I guess I'm the newest guy on this block.
I'm a member of The Firing Line (where I found this site)
and The High Road. I enjoy them both, but this site hits me
really close to home, in more ways than one, so I am looking
forward to checking it out daily. I am;
