Re: Carry permit equals no foster kids for couple
From the article....
Ridiculous law nonetheless.
How does the state equate having a permit with actually carrying? Unless the state makes them sign an affidavit stating they don't have loaded firearms, and the foster parents refused to sign.have been denied permission to do so because of a state regulation that prohibits the carrying of loaded weapons with foster children.
Ridiculous law nonetheless.

Re: Carry permit equals no foster kids for couple
last I in TX you could have a CHL and carry, you just had to put your guns in a safe in your home.
This however is a nutty rule. I hope they are able to pass the bill they are trying to get through.

"Current rules reportedly require guns and ammunition to be stored separately in secure containers in homes with foster children. The Wilsons’ request for a variance to the current law was denied."
There's the reason. Look, we've got states that won't even allow travel without them in separate secured containers when you don't have kids...

We passed a bill a couple of sessions back to prevent precisely this problem in Texas.

I thought so, thank you.
(btw, I apologize for the messiness in my last post, my laptop is suddenly dropping words, I need to start proofing better.
It was suppose to say "Last I heard....." )

Re: Carry permit equals no foster kids for couple
We were foster parents for several years , until 2004 , Requirements for the home were very strict , many of the children had mental problems and almost all had been abused , some were almost feral . My wife was an RN , unit nurse manager at the local state hospital so we got the most problem kids , I kept my guns in the attic and at the time I didn't have a CHL . It would get kind of silly at times when your were fostering a 7 month old baby or similar situation and the same rules applied , but I understood at the time about the one size fits all rules .

Re: Carry permit equals no foster kids for couple
So you can't teach any foster kids to shoot or take them hunting or shooting at the range?

I admire those willing to take foster children into their homes, but I don't have that kind of courage...

Re: Carry permit equals no foster kids for couple
Perish the thought that caring people willing to give a loving home to and capable of protecting children are allowed to do so.
It's fine if you disagree. I can't force you to be correct.
