I believe that most officers realize the vetting process that CHLs go through, and believe that we are normally OK. I sure wish employers and those compelled to post 30.06 signs would see things the same way. Amen brother. Been stopped twice in Texas, both local cops, showed CHL both times, both as...

Why do you think posting a picture of your gun with any caption be in violation of Texas Law? Hoping for some good dialogue I could use in explaining why it isnt... "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the f...

It hasn't been a great week for me on the road... after years of not getting stopped, I was involved in a minor fender-bender in heavy stop-and-go traffic in the construction at the 114-121 junction early in the week, to which Grapevine PD responded to write a report, then got stopped in Plano today...

If he wasn't going to give you a ticket, why do you think he stopped you in the first place? Or do you really think the CHL changed his mind? I got pulled over by Plano PD today for doing 10 over the limit... the officer walked up to my window, asked for DL and insurance, and told me he was going t...

I don't believe dogs are eligible to own property in Texas.

LOL!

Just one thought. Although not illegal, what you did is most likely still in violation of company policy. You said that flew to Denver for a company training. I assume the company pays your travel expenses ( plane ticket, car rental, hotel, etc). As such your travel is part of your job and you just...

Thanks for posting that. It's amazing how few people realize that we are still #1. We just don't make the inexpenive consumer goods, we make higher-end stuff mostly. And we stopped making a lot of the cheap stuff DECADES ago. I remember as a kid in the '60s and '70s when all the cheap consumer good...

Also the people of Michigan are not Yankees. They are mostly descendants of 19th- and early 20-century European immigrants and African-Americans. The Detroit area has the largest concentration of recent Arab immigrants in the U.S. - Jim The Detroit area also has a large concentration of the offspri...

So when the greeters at Walmart/Sams club want to see your receipt or whatever to check your bags/basket, they have no authority to do so? If I can ignore them I will..... It annoys me to get checked @ the door when I have just spent money in their store. What authority to stop you from leaving the...

One quesiton, how did they know you had a CHL? Did you show it to them or did it come up when they ran your license? I'm curious about this as well. Glad the situation worked out for you. Many of the people who live in Santa Monica are about the most left-wing idiot nutjobs you could ever imagine m...

Although there are valid reasons behind this law, I mostly see it as more rights lost in the name of protecting children. You're absolutely right. As we've seen here, it's a reason for a peace officer to interrupt your travel, do a visual search of your vehicle, and question you about your activiti...

I reckon so. :)

I too was amazed at the difference in CA and TX traffic-manners/culture when I arrived here. What is even more amazing is the fact that in TX a driver is more likely to be packing... go figure! Not sure how you guys formed your opinions. I was pleased to find Dallas roads in much better shape than ...
