Re: Buy A New Truck - The 50% Off Sale Has Arrived!
Keep in mind that Chrysler Corp. does not have one vehicle that's recommended in Consumer Reports. Mercedes Benz, the logical German company, could not make any money with the company and sold it to Cerberus Capital Management. Cerberus is one of these buy-it-and-flip-it type of companies.

Re: Red light tickets and the law......
When a city signs a contract with one of these red light violation private companies, the private firm sets a minimum number of tickets that they need to handle each month in order to meet their profit needs. One of the ways they do this is to shorten the yellow lights so that more people "run ...

Re: Garland Newbie Saying Hello !!
Welcome pepperkay. Finding your preferred gun will be relatively easy. Choosing your practice and carry ammo will be easy, but finding some to buy will be the hard part! Choosing a holster/carry method - you will pull your hair out!! The gun store <Bullet Trap?> on Avenue K, Plano has a good selecti...

Re: Houston robbery video-Would you draw & shoot?
Thank you to everyone who watched the video and responded with their strategic thinking. Although I have not taken any defensive handgun courses, I believe that at the time they moved me away from the register and they forgot about me for a few seconds I would draw and shoot. If I got shot, at least...

Houston robbery video-Would you draw & shoot?
Let's get a discussion started on tactics to use during a particular robbery. First of all, fire up another Internet session besides the one on which you are reading TexasCHLForum.com.

Re: Well this aint going help the campus carry bill any.
There is a possibility that the killer is on his way to Texas since he has Austin relatives.
His vehicle is a red 2005 Jeep Liberty, Georgia license plate AIX-1376.
