Re: Academy, You're Fired!

But I think the original point is that Academy has fewer owners to answer to since they are privately held. That is true regardless of how Academy is structured. That's why I lead off with 'It's sort of an irrelevant point ...' :) The bits I wrote about it being hard to figure out appear to be more...

Re: Academy, You're Fired!

Not sure what the path your going down is supposed to mean, but yes they do have investors, but no they do not have shareholders. It's sort of an irrelevant point, but being privately held and not having shares and shareholders are not the same thing. I have owned shares in a non-public company (I ...

Re: Trump Supports Gun Ban for Fly/Terror List

Let me ask, if you are in charge and you are approached by someone who is on watch list due to being an ISIS sympathizer who has not yet done anything to break the law per se but he/she wants to come in and buy a gun from you now, what would you do in all honesty? If this starts happening, the peop...

Re: WFAA gun discussions this week

I like this, it's much better than the one I saw where the guy was one of only two people in the room and it was set up so the attacker could just immediately "kill". I think, though, that ultimately this isn't really a good test either, because the 'good guys' know something is going to h...

Re: walmart asking for chl

I'd google for it if I knew what station, but is that available online? I'd be interested in watching it. Edit: this article has the following statement from the TABC: The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code does not contain language specifically requiring businesses to check the License to Carry of patro...

Re: walmart asking for chl

I'm done arguing with you guys here that want it the way you want it. You can contact TABC yourselves to set them straight. Really, seriously, not trying to argue. Your question to them had "knowingly" in it, so I think you are taking their response within that context and assuming that t...

Re: walmart asking for chl

There is no need to go on a limb based on a far fetched scenario. Let's discuss this in context. The TABC person responded within the context of my question which was based on the context of this thread. Do you agree that the the following two statements impose different requirements on Wal-Mart: &...

Re: walmart asking for chl

For those of you that think it is a copout, excuse or up to the TABC agent's attitude or mood, here is the response to my direct email inquiry to TABC. I hope you find this post edifying. Hello Mojo84,   Under Sections 11.61(e) and 61.71(f) of the Alcoholic Beverage Code, TABC is required to begin ...

Re: Is the statesman article about carry in state mental hospitals accurate?

I carry everywhere it is legal to do so. So if I had a need to carry there, I would. I'm not going to carry into somewhere the cops are checking their weapons to avoid the possibility of a patient getting their hands on one, even if it's legal. This is getting into some complex legal questions bett...

Re: Is the statesman article about carry in state mental hospitals accurate?

Sec. 241.004. EXEMPTIONS. This chapter does not apply to a facility: (1) licensed under Chapter 242 or 577; (2) maintained or operated by the federal government or an agency of the federal government; or (3) maintained or operated by this state or an agency of this state . So 241 itself says 241 do...

Re: Is the statesman article about carry in state mental hospitals accurate?

Who would want to carry in a state mental hospital? Even the security people don't carry in either the state hospital or the penitentiaries here. This falls under the heading of: Good Grief! I don't think anyone really does. The people I've talked to that I have reason to think have licenses that I...

Re: Is the statesman article about carry in state mental hospitals accurate?

That's the point, I think - they can't legally post 30.06 or 30.07 because they are a state agency (which is how they are different from any other hospital)

If you're a hospital that can't legally post a 30.06 or 30.07 you're a hospital that can't ever make 46.035 (b) (4) applicable.
