Another caveat to what I wrote previously. I have learned more about the use and care of firearms since I have received my CHL. This through reading different Blogs about firearms, especially this one, than I learned my entire time in the Military/L.E. Military was all about ROE, while L.E. was abou...

The test is there simply because the general mindset is that every course of instruction must have a test. This ignores the fact that continuing education courses required/taught for every profession in Texas do not require a test as part of the course. (At least the ones of which I am aware; i.e. ...

If you locked your gun and all ammo in the trunk, while on a federal facility, I'm assuming that this would still not be good enough to avoid arrest. Comments?

I wrapped the weapon in a paper towel several times where it was hard to place back into the kydex holster, heated up the kydex with my wife's ha...

Finally someone has introduced a bill in congress that seeks to allow individuals to carry on USACE lands. Of course no Texan was a part of it. (I don't know how to do the smily thing). U.S. Rep. Bob Gibbs, R-Lakeville Ohio has introduced the Recreational Lands Self-Defense Act last Thursday. The Re...

I am mostly a one issue voter and that is the reestablishment of our 2nd Amendment rights. Also, usually those who I feel support my views concerning the 2nd also fall into my way of thinking concerning most if not all of the other issues. But now, I am starting to feel that this is a party directed...

From my representative, Jimmie Don Aycock: DISTRICT 54 UPDATE The Office of Representative Jimmie Don Aycock Greetings Friends, Constituents and Supporters: Today, I voted to remove a controversial amendment, known as the "Guns on Campus" amendment, from an appropriations bill. The amendme...

Open carry will probably not pass in Texas, at least in the near future. With that said, I would like to see something passed such as that suggested by Florida, i.e. HB 45, which protects concealed weapons permit holders from being prosecuted if their guns are accidentally exposed. I know Texas alre...

In East Texas, my friend had a pet Coyote for a time that he had got from one of his friends. He stated that the Coyote wouldn't ever bark, never sought affection and often would just sit and stare at him with those yellow eyes it had. Gave him the hibi jibis, so he gave it away as well. He stated i...

I don't often post, just lurk and learn. Although this is not concerning Chet Edwards it does concern USACE and their policies. I wrote John Carter and this is his reply; Thank you for taking the time to contact me with your concerns regarding the Army Corps of Engineers land firearm policy. Your in...
