WARNING - this Friday (October 12th) is Dallas ISD day at the fair. We also refer to it as "gang night". If you come to the fair that day be careful and do not be surprised by the larger than normal contingent of officers you will see - especially in the evening. This is our "worst d...

Glad it's resolved. No way I would go to Fair Park without a sidearm.

Keep on going and you'll see where 4 of the original locations were removed (in 1997!) - unless effective notice is given. Don't feel lonesome. Lots of others have had to have that pointed out to 'em in the last 10 years. He's in good company, for sure: I asked about this during my CHL class and th...

all my work/residence info was in Denton Co, and it took just under 60 days door to door.

I'm 20 right now, and will turn 21 in early March next year. Is there anything I can do right now or is it too early? Any paperwork that I can do now? Any other suggestions? This is the best chl forum I know of. Be sure to the see the CHL Checklist area ( http://www.texasshooting.com/TexasCHL_Forum...

Took a bit longer to get here in the mail than most, but arrived today (see timeline). After seein all the 2-day deliveries I was beginning to get a bit worried.

I share the following bit of embarrassing info in case it helps the next CHLer: A couple of years ago I lost a job and my liquid assets dwindled quickly. Instead of being a man about it and talking to my student loan lender, I was ashamed and let it default. Then my CHL expired. And with a defaulted...

I don't have a problem with a small business posting 30.06--I will simply take my business elsewhere. It's the service provider's/ restaurant/store owner's business and is this person's choice.
