I think most of us here would intervene if we saw a person being physically attacked. I know I would in some situations and not other situations. ... Precisely. The original post made a broad sweeping blanket statement that we should not get involved. I pointed out an instance where that would, and...

Do not rights also carry responsibilities? Your responsibilities end when you put yourself in danger for a stranger. No. They do not. You may choose otherwise. I have no duty or obligation to put my life in danger for a third party. I may choose to do so, but it is not a responsibility to do so. &q...

http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=news/local&id=8553086 We CHL's are taught not to intervene if not in danger ourselves, and this is a great example. In this case I'm assuming that the victims didn't have weapons, which would make this even more important. Just be a good witness, as the...

Fishfree, I understand what you're saying. But understanding its a right that is being denied.....how do you propose we fix it? .... I'll argue that history tells us that appeasement and half-measures will never win the day. That is the strategy used to limit and control. I am ignorant of the minut...

Is there any organized effort/organization active to get a vote & passage in the next legislative session ? ... and 5 pages later if there was an answer there it got buried in the static. I presume the answer is that there is not an organized effort (at least not well known as such) for OC. My ...

Is there any organized effort/organization active to get a vote & passage in the next legislative session ?

thanks

I came to the realization this morning that before I had my CHL I was only afraid of BG's. But now, after reading up on the perils of legal concealed carry, I realize that I am more afraid of my own government (police, prosecutors, judges) than I am of armed criminals. So I will not be carrying any...

in the mind of a judge or jury, I would think Yes. As you were privy BEFORE the event happened and did not to escape the situation, or notify the police of the situation either.

post a pic!

All of the above seem to assume you have a cell phone. For those who do not I'd say proceed to to your next destination where you can make the call (not 911 but to the local PD office; it is not life & death at this point). If you see a patrol car on the way you may flash your lights or honk to ...

In Texas we have an abundance of 'badged' 'LEO's: Art. 2.12, WHO ARE PEACE OFFICERS. The following are peace officers: (1) sheriffs, their deputies, and those reserve deputies who hold a permanent peace officer license issued under Chapter 1701, Occupations Code; (2) constables, deputy constables, a...

Geeez, he probably had a better audience response in Nuevo Laredo but it just didn't travel well. Hmmm maybe American Idol should look at this screening technique.
