Re: Warning shots at SA Little Red Barn Steakhouse
I think you guys are using too much common sense. Unfortunately, the law is often counterintuitive an void of common sense. I'm this case, "control" and "premises" we're not specifically defined, leaving a talented lawyer the freedom to use case law and his imagination to create...

Re: Warning shots at SA Little Red Barn Steakhouse
However, he's perfectly within his legal rights to carry concealed there without a license. I think you are confused. ;-) It is not perfectly legal to do so since the owner of the property and business has advised the employees there is a no guns policy. However, I would be interested in your reaso...

Re: Three professors sue UT to keep guns out of their classrooms
Have they repealed the Austin ordinance forbidding shooting Indians from a streetcar?
Until that's done, why worry about this other stuff?

Re: No open carry at Costco in Frisco
Please refrain from OC at COSTCO or any discount warehouse. Carry Concealed. Could you please elaborate why? I can't say what Beiruty had in mind, but I assume that he feels that if they start having a bunch of issues, it draws attention to their somewhat relaxed enforcement here. Strictly speaking...

Re: Base Exchange to be Opened to Vets
I don't remember any actual fights at any of the clubs. There was a good amount of unofficer like behavior at NASNI. At the Downwinds it was strictly civvies, some beer throwing. The Marines were sweethearts compared to the SEALS from the Amphib Base nearby. One Sunday evening with festivities in fu...

Re: Carry insurance card in vehicle - bad idea?
All of which begs the question as to when TX is going to join many other states in simplifying the sizing. I have a SUV for which I have a registration receipt that is 8.5x11". And I tow a trailer, same size registration receipt. And my Progressive insurance "card" is 5.5x8". I ...

Re: Base Exchange to be Opened to Vets
Best thing about Navy Exchange for me was being able to buy beer, wine, and liquor on Sundays and get kegs cheap in Newport, RI... The Naval Air Station Oceana Virginia officer's club was a great place to meet ladies, who needed an unmarried officer to sign them in.... :coolgleamA: Even for Marines...

Re: 5th Circuit Court of Appeals - TX voter ID law
When they can manipulate the numbers electronically (and if you think that doing so is impossible, you are delusional)... then requiring ID is just a little pointless. Besides, how well do you think that poll workers are checking IDs in the precincts that we are worried about anyhow? Who do you thi...

Re: Three professors sue UT to keep guns out of their classrooms
Federal judges quickly toss frivolous cases these days. I expect that will happen in this case. A good judge will dismiss it and impose sanctions on the attorney and the clients. Chas. Do you have any sense from this as to why there wasn't an outright dismissal? It seemed to me as a non-lawyer that...

Re: 5th Circuit Court of Appeals - TX voter ID law
[quote="allisj] Just curious if anyone on this forum has voted without an ID before? I'm relatively young still. I guess that I could imagine showing up to a polling place telling the person my name and having them check me off of their list. I'm sure that in the smaller towns many voters know ...

Re: Three professors sue UT to keep guns out of their classrooms
Preliminary Injunction has been DENIED. THANKS FOR THE UPDATE!!!! Of course I've seen nothing on the news !!!! The news won't cover this. They like the headlines only, they never do updates on previous stories. Sure they will. The ink is barely dry on the order. The news guys are flailing their wor...

Re: If you could tell the government your thoughts...
The government can't put you in prison for what you say, only for what you do. You can think, and say, just about anything you like, with few exceptions. Didn't the AG want to prosecute people that denied global climate change? Did the AG do anything, or was (s)he merely saying what (s)he liked? Ma...
