Re: Take my climate change test
I had a physics professor way back in 1989 tell the class that the entire chlorofluorocarbons debate about destroying the ionosphere was a purely political one, not supported by reality. Was kinda shocking to have a physics professor say something so bold, so he went on to explain that in a laborato...

This thread seems to have gone sideways...... Here's what the General Counsel for the TSRA has to say on the topic: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://healylaw.com/SPH_March-April_2013_Minor-Pistol.pdf&ved=0CDYQFjAIahUKEwj7z-KE0o_IAhXJGJIKHZ_1CwA&usg=AFQj...

Re: Church Schools
The statute makes it an offense to carry on the premises of a public OR private school, unless pursuant to a written regulation or written permission of the institution. It uses the definition of 'premises' that we've all been ingrained with by now, as in the building or portion of the building. Sin...

Re: I was a bad kid... :)
Recrisp, Stay the course, & continue to provide the DPS with all of the information that they ask of you, WITHIN the time limit that they give you to respond with it. In the end, you will either receive your CHL, or they will deny it. (Since they're not jerks, its not likely that they're going t...

Re: AR Pistol vs AR SBR - Which Is The Best Choice?
The main plus for the AR pistol is that it is light and compact yet provides the power and range of a rifle.. Not quite sure about this one. There is a big loss of velocity & stability between a 14 1/2" M4 & a 10 1/2" version (or 16" civilian model). So much so that you'll se...

Re: Denouncing Attacks on Law Enforcement
Agreed. What's really disturbing are some of the blog comments at the bottom of the link you posted.

Re: One in the chamber?
I always carry with one in the chamber. I dont feel like if I needed to draw my weapon, I would have enough time to rack one back. Cops carry with one in the chamber, Why wouldn't a CHL carrier?? Cops carry "in the chamber" because they are at far greater risk of harm than the average con...

Re: Here's one for all the great thinkers and debaters out there...
The definition of a "concealed handgun" is now meaningless. When SB299 passed in 2013, it changed the operative language of a violation of TPC §46.035(a) from " intentionally fails to conceal the handgun to " displays the handgun in plain view of another person in a public place...

Re: Registering for a CHL Instructor Class
Good compilation from what you've already pulled so far. Once you register online for the instructor course you'll be provided with a checklist (if you already have your CHL, you know what this looks like; if you don't have your CHL, make sure you check the box for BOTH Instructor AND CHL so that yo...

Re: Here's one for all the great thinkers and debaters out there...
I sort of cling to the idea that if something is printing under my shirt it could be something other than a handgun - a cell phone or something. Whether or not I should be paranoid I strive to maintain good concealment. My goal is for nobody to suspect there's a sidearm in the crowd. :iagree: While...

Re: NRA Instructors Classes
That's really good to know and kinda what I expected. I have looked into getting my CRSO next and then the PP classes. Have you had much success getting students for those classes or have you used them mostly as a jump-off point to create your own lesson plans? Thanks! As far as success in getting ...
