Re: Take a Knee Updated
I'm all for freedom of expression and the 1A. I was also taught not to bite the hand that feeds me. Entertainers take a risk when they do something that alienates part of their audience. Time will tell how their gamble plays out, but I for one will not be crying for them if their revenue stream dri...

Re: Today in Trump's new term as President
I just happen to notice this thread...should be some good reading tonight! I didn't vote for him...I just couldn't bring myself to do it. All I'm hoping for is while everyone is distracted with North Korea, Russia, Racism, Sexism, every other -ism, and our country continues to be a circus act, we c...

Re: Austin bakery 30.06 story
Why not change the law so that 30.06/30.07 signs apply to all LEO, so then the business has to put up a warning that if there is an emergency or robbery, no customer will be helped by the police. If they claim firearms are evil and are not allowed, then they shouldn’t allow any at all. While I see ...

Re: Austin bakery 30.06 story
I personally won't do business with a merchant that posts and I have no remorse about letting the world know that if they enter they enter at their own risk and it bothers me not if they boycott the store. Perhaps 30.06 should be amended to require the words "Enter at your own risk"? I'm ...

Re: Glad I was Carrying
I know the city I live in encourages people to call 911 if there are suspicious people/vehicles in the area, even if they are not doing anything obviously illegal. The hope is that an officer can show up and investigate. If the 2 people who approached you were indeed needing assistance, an officer w...

Re: Well that was odd!
Sorry to hear that. Texas being an at will state there's no requirement to give a reason for termination, but decency would seem to dictate some notion as to why. While in an ideal world, that would be a great idea. Unfortunately in our litigious society, it is safer to not give a reason in case th...

Re: Going to Austin. State capital question.
The Capitol building allows carry and even has an express lane for LTCs where you can bypass the metal detectors.
