300shooter...

Thank the LORD above that you survived, I'm sure he has further plans for you.

To keep from being a 'test case' I will always show my DL and CHL to any... and I mean any officer of the law. No matter if it's FBI, Border Patrol, DPS, Sheriff, Local or whatever... I WILL SHOW and TELL. Heck, for one: I'm proud to have passed the stringent background verification process that was...

1) There are rules (laws).

2) There are exceptions to every rule.
