Re: Enforceability of mask requirements

My understanding of the current situation in Texas is that businesses can still require masks. But is a simple “masks required” sign enough to charge someone with trespassing absent any other form of notice? I’m thinking that the sign would need to explicitly state that your entry is forbidden unle...

Re: Combined 30.06 & 30.07 signs.

Ignore and carry on. One caveat I’d add is that I would not carry openly in a place that has already signaled anti gun stance. I’d try and avoid such place altogether, but if I absolutely must go in for whatever reason, I’d keep it concealed. I made sure to locate my office in a downtown building w...

Combined 30.06 & 30.07 signs.

I’ve noticed several office buildings in downtown Houston with a single, combined sign reading, “PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 30.06 & 30.07 . . . . MAY NOT ENTER THIS PROPERTY WITH A HANDGUN THAT IS CONCEALED OR CARRIED OPENLY.” I don’t see how these signs could be compliant when the statutes require “l...

Re: Who's running a dot on their pistol?

I have a 3.5 MOA RMR on my Walther PPQ Q4 Tac, which I carry occasionally but may begin carrying regularly. There is a learning curve, but there are some definite advantages. I've managed to avoid "chasing the dot," but I think that is just a function of different people having different t...

Re: Everytown Files Lawsuit Over Texas 30.06/30.07 signs for being "burdensome"

"Gaming the system." If a premises owner wants to legally exclude firearms, the instructions for doing so are right in the statute and unambiguous. Compliant signs are readily available. If the premises owner posts a non-compliant sign, then I don't think it is unreasonable to assume that ...

Re: Protest / Riot Intel Source?

If you don't have the time to commit to monitoring multiple groups to figure out when they might gather then you'll probably never know ahead of time. They take their own video and either live-stream or post it later. My driving is pretty rural. The advice I gave to my college-age children; plan yo...

Those of us who are not in lockstep with the Socialist Democrat Party are being called names again. In 2016 Candidate Clinton called us deplorables.

Protest / Riot Intel Source?

There's been a lot of discussion about self-defense in a protest or riot, and that has become all the more pertinent in the last couple weeks. Of course, the best strategy is to avoid them entirely. I drive with my 1-year-old son in downtown Houston on an almost daily basis, and getting stuck with h...

Re: Getting Started Reloading with Limited Space

I reload those exact same calibers (plus 38/357). I also have limited space, but was able to build a small bench and put it in my gun closet. Before that, I rigged up a mount by bolting the press to a 2x6 that I could mount with bolts and blocks to a folding work bench, and that worked reasonably we...

Re: Deadly force against blinding lasers

I assume no one would disagree that a high power laser causes grievous bodily hard, and may be met with deadly force. Same as getting splashed with acid. So, low power lasers and harmless liquids may be met with deadly force, like pointing a toy gun? There is no way to distinguish between danger an...

Re: Gov of TX issues mask order!?!

So is this mask thing policy or law? Is if a felony or a misdemeanor? If it is just policy do I really have to id if I am doing nothing illegal? The governor is relying on chapter 418 of the Texas Government Code, which governs disasters. Under section 418.012, the governor, during a disaster, “may...

Re: Gov of TX issues mask order!?!

Where businesses require masks, I honor that requirement when I go in. But the result is that I don't go inside businesses unless I absolutely must. But wearing one outside is completely pointless and I refuse to do it. And I have no idea what "an outdoor public space, wherever it is not feasib...
