Re: Texas Drivers License DD number

Thanks all--here's the answer from a friend who works for a law firm:
"According to the DPS website, it is a DPS audit number. It is required when logging into the online system to change your address or renew the license. The old license had a smaller audit number vertical along the photo ...

Texas Drivers License DD number

Perhaps a little off-topic, but does anyone know what the long DD number means on the bottom of the new Texas drivers license?

Re: Total Texas CHLs issued

Well, considering the adult population, i.e. 18 and older, the percentage increases a little to 2.5%. Still low.

Thanks Gents. Looks like 1.8% of the state population of 25,145,561. I wonder how we measure up with the other carry states?

The Squirrels are coming

Squirrels are showing up in our maturing oak trees. I've purchased some Aquila .22 Super Colibri ammo to eliminate some of the buggers. The ammo is primer only and subsonic, less than 600 fps. It measures to be Long, not Long Rifle. I intend to use the ammo in my Ruger Mark II pistol. Only unknown ...

Carrying concealed in someon's home

The thread re "Displaying at someone's home?" gave me a headache, but it raised a question for me: I can't find in the regs anything concerning carrying concealed in someone's home.

Re: How to respond?

Gents,
Thanks for all the thoughtful replys. On reflection, I believe her fearful comment is the result of ignorance of guns and/or never having personally experienced crime. I believe this (by VMI77) sums it up: "If having (a CHL) one makes you a government target then we'll be well beyond the ...

How to respond?

When I told a close friend that I have a CHL, she responded: "My only thought about the CHL - the govt and the police know who and what to look for." My wife has expressed the same concern. Any ideas what my response should be?

Re: Gen 4 Glock 35 lawsuits?

Got to agree. No AD with a Glock--IMO it takes a careless finger on the trigger when hostering/unholstering the gun. Apparently this is called "Glock Leg" among our LEO. However, it doesn't preclude someone blaming Glock on his "Glock Leg." :lol:
