I'm working on the email and badges now.

The Q&A session is the real unknown, but I suspect Derek and I will take about 2.5 hours, not counting questions.

There are several places to eat within 3 miles and we are going to let the group decide if and when to break.

Regards,
Chas.

Gary:
I got confused too. I was thinking we were on the parking lot thread also. Oh well, I'll do better next time.

I believe 30.05 has wording that specifically excludes 30.05 to used solely for use against carrying under CHL statutes. You're right, but remember the scenario we are discussing; i.e. the pistol is locked in the trunk of the car. If, and that's a big if, you are not "carrying" pursuant t...

If criminals are going to have guns, I would prefer them to have a TEC-9. This goes to show what a huge POS these things are. This reminds me of the "Saturday Night Special" garbage the media and anti-gunners were preaching not too many years ago. News reports talked about how these cheap...

I do not understand how 30.06 can be enforced even at private property gun shows, and here is why: . . . You're right and that's the Catch 22! A 30.06 violation does not hinge on whether a gun is loaded or unloaded. If you cross the sign with a pistol that has not been shown to the LEO's at the doo...

Okay, I’ve done a little research on the phrase “on or about the person� as it applies to 46.02 (not 30.05 or 30.06). The 1985 Texas Court of Criminal Appeals (the highest appellate court for criminal cases) decision in Christian v. State , 686 S.W.2d 930 (Tex. Crim. App. 1985) cited a 1968 ca...

UPDATE

In fairness to everyone, I want to let you folks know that I am having discussions with a number of people concerning the scope of HB823 and it's practical application. At this point, I still am comfortable with the analysis set forth in my earlier posts, but there are people, including at least one...

I think txinvestigator answered the question. Even if a 30.06 sign does not apply to a handgun in the trunk, 30.05 does not require specific language and any sign that gets the "don't bring guns in here" message across will trigger 30.05. Okay, that's what I thought we both meant. I allow...

. . . If the police can arrest a person who is traveling after Sept. 1, even though 46.02 does not apply to a person who is traveling, then can't they also arrest a CHL holder who is carrying, a person firing a handgun at a range, a commissioned security officer, etc? Just let the courts decide? Th...

Re: Wife got her chl today

My wife got her chl today and it took 60 days and she even had to redo her finger print card. Just checked on mine and it is in the mail. Now this is wrong, flat wrong. It's totally against nature! You and your wife go to dinner, she has a gun and you don't?!! Oh, the shame of it all. Kind of remin...

We had one person with a schedule conflict who had to give up two slots, so we can still take 8 more people.

I don't have you on the list. Is that my screw-up, or have you not registered?

I don't want to leave anyone out, because of a "Sometimers" moment.

Will there be a 30.06 at the facility? Nope, but PSC is a "cold" range, so everyone needs to either leave the pistola in the car, or unload it before you get out. It's fine to have loaded mags on the belt, but the Board doesn't make any distinction between the classroom and the firing lin...
