Re: Piers Morgan on Leno

Morgan is a sensationalist fame whore. Whoever said he stood on the graves of Sandy Hook children to grab the spotlight was putting it gently.

Re: iPhone app? Yay or Nay?

You could make it something like FourSquare. I think they're an Austin startup. Basically, same idea except folks who have the app generate the content when they visit a business... rating it 30.06, 51%, etc.

I'd definitely use it.

Re: Horrified Riders Witness Stabbing Death on NYC Subway

I saw another article on this that had a lot more detail. From it, it sounds like the guy with the knife could make at least a plausible case for self-defense. But what really caught my eye was that when it kicked off, one of the passengers pulled the emergency stop and notified the conductor. The ...

Re: How would you improve the Texas CHL program?

I'd like to see lower fees and shorter processing times. I'm not in favor of adding/increasing any state requirements (e.g., making the shooting test harder, etc.).

Re: What to say when people ask "why would you ever need a gun?"

My response depends on whether or not I'm feeling pithy.

Not pithy:
I refuse to leave my family's well-being at the mercy of someone else's good will for them (or, more accurately, the lack of it). YMMV.

Pithy:
Guns are like parachutes -- if you need one and you ain't got one, you'll never need ...

Re: Best Austin-area CHL class

Took Ross Bransford's class a few years back, probably 2004 (?). Anyway, liked him well enough, and his class, too, although I'm an attorney and wrote a review at that time that he was a little loose with how he characterized Texas law. Things like "it is a defense to prosecution that..." vs. you ...
