Re: Put one in the chamber, or don't carry it!

You don't drive around with your seatbelt off and say, "I'll have time to fasten it before the wreck." That's a pretty good analogy. Yes it is! I'm going to use that in classes. Chas. Not to create thread drift, but you will also get a kick out of Delaware's helmet law. It must be in your...

Re: Rotary has adopted policies hostile to firearms

"What's a "Rotary Club"?" -every board member under 30 The only memories I have of Rotary is my Dad taking me to the annual Christmas party as a very young kid. I guess in some small towns they are still relevant, but (IMHO) in this day in age they are irrelevant to most of the p...

Re: FCC Internet Privacy Reg canceled- good or bad?

I guess the government felt like since they have unfettered access to all our information, why shouldn't everyone else. :biggrinjester:


I have my own VPN set up reasons involving full internet access to the sites of my choosing while abroad.

Re: Fix 30.06 & 30.07 Sign Requirements

This is of course the question. I don't have the answer but in my mind I believe the right to self defense far outweighs a property owners right to decide who can or can not enter private property. After all, we live by the term Life, Liberty and Pursuit of happiness. If you can not protect your li...

Re: Convince me that constitutional carry is a good thing

Any 18 year old can walk into a sporting goods store and buy an AR15 and ammunition with no training requirement whatsoever. They can then carry it on or about their person throughout Texas without a license. This has been the case with long guns since at least 1836, so what's so special about carr...

Thanks for the reminder that "running out of time" is a huge lie and any Texas legislator that uses that excuse for bills not passing is crookeder than a dog's hind leg. This has been every Thursday so far. I have said it once and I will say it again, the Tex Leg will pass every single bi...

Re: Notify LEO You're Armed?

There must be a great number of incidents of "fake cops" pulling people over in Texas than are being published for you to express so much concern. Perhaps in the daily news of murders, robberies, assaults and other crimes in Texas these "fake cop" stories aren't getting any cove...

Re: Notify LEO You're Armed?

In Texas, I will show my DL and my LTC to LE, but unless asked, I won't notify I'm armed. It's not impolite or illegal to keep my yap closed regarding my status of being armed, again, unless asked by LE. :iagree: Two other points: #1> Any LEO worth his salt should presume each and every encounter i...

Re: Do You Think A 30.06 Sign Welcomes OC?

No, but I think OC'ing past a 30.06 welcomes a 30.07 sign to be posted.

Abraham, keep in mind there are people amongst us that think you should tell folks when their 30.06 signs are post incorrectly.

Re: Carry At A State Park?

If it is state, it is legal. Beware of private entities who think they can post signs. The folks at Mineral Wells were not happy I was OCing, but couldn't do anything about it. What private entities did you have an issue with at Mineral Wells? I also OC'd at the park and they either didn't notice o...

I can speak only in generalities. I have not had time to analyze the leg. counsel version of HB1911 that was filed today. I will try to do so tomorrow, but I may be limited in what I can say publicly. To say a lot of work is going on would be an understatement! Many, in fact most, controversial bil...
