Re: Getting CHL and Wife issue
If this helps, and this isn't concealed carry, just anti gun. My wife, since I've married her, hasn't approved of firearms. Bad experience with her previous husband. We had a bad experience with a man trying to get in the house and I held him at 12 ga. point (that's like gunpoint but bigger) until t...

Probably a stupid question
In the early 1960's while growing up in a small town in East Texas I was in a car with five other guys (I was around 15) and we were stopped. There was a long dead beer can under one of the seats (probably belonging to a previous owner) but we were all busted for minor possession and consumption. Su...

Re: New Years Eve Visitor
I consciously made that choice when it started happening. I drew the line at the outside wall of the house. Outside the glass. Had he crossed the line that would have been it. I recall thinking at some point that his life was as thin as a piece of glass.

Re: New Years Eve Visitor
Actually, they didn't ask. The officer had brushed past my wife and me at the front door and as he was crossing the front lawn I called after him "what are you going to charge him with?"...he called back PI. Then he stopped and called back.."unless you want to come down and file crimi...

Re: New Years Eve Visitor
This happened in a nice and established residential area of Arlington. Very nice older houses as well as upscale residents. My perception is that the perp didn't speak much English, although he may have just not understood through the booze. I found out the next morning that he did open both gates t...

New Years Eve Visitor
My wife and I sat up on New Years Eve night until midnight so we could welcome in the New Year. We're in our 60's so it's getting harder to make it that long now. We talked a bit and watched the show from Vegas until it was over and then channel surfed since we had napped earlier. At about 2 AM she ...

Do you ever go to Alpine Range? If so, I'd like to take a look at your Winchester. I live over in Arlington.

Re: Stopped By DPS Today
Maybe it's just me. My last ticket was 1968 (doing 60 in a 30 with my new Camero by small town cops). I was a LEO in the early 70's in California and a PI in Tennessee in the 80's. I haven't been stopped in 40 years. I drive an old pickup now which gets looks sometimes, but no stops. I know that in ...
