The deputies can ask anything they like. :roll: You make it sound as though they were in violation of some rule, law or procedure. They can ask, but outside the scope of their LE authority, no one should feel obligated to answer a deputy or any other official when they ask a nosey question. The dif...

Just read this from an article in the updated edition of the Lubbock paper: Roberts, from the nearby town of Bart, was not Amish and did not appear to have anything against the Amish, Miller said. He said Roberts was bent on killing girls and apparently figured he could succeed at the serene schoolh...

They both plainly state that the "State Fair of Texas" is owned by a private organization . Therefore, they can ask to search absolutely ANYTHING that you wish to bring onto their property. The Fair does not belong to the people or the city. Thanks for the links. I don't live anywhere nea...

Well, if you have an option to avoid the search, then your rights have not been violated. You have excersized them by not going . AND Keep your rights, and don't go. This is the argument that really scares me. "Avoid the serach...just don't go...." If we accept this thinking for something...

YOUR NOT GIVING UP YOUR RIGHTS!!! Its all about the owner's ability to provide for a safe environment for their patrons. And they have every right to search your vehicle if you are going to use their business' facilities. Call it a trade, if you will. They are under no obligation to let you in if y...

Here is an article by Kinky Friedman on hunting. Offers an interesting perspective. Sounds like he has a disdain for hunters with an underlying dislike for the armed masses. http://www.texasmonthly.com/mag/issues/2002-03-01/roundup.php Hopefully I got the link correct, but if not, it is from the Ma...

Greetings-- ESC"s are odd animals. They are state regulated and state funded (partially), but are not state agencies. The do however follow state agency policies related to monies and purchasing requirements. Their employees are considered "educators" under the Teacher Retirement Sys...

He has recently been certified and has left fliers at several Waco gunshops. Parnell and his brother Mike recently retired from the US Marshall's service after decades of service. They were active in many high profile criminal cases. They were the subject of a Texas Monthly article a few year ago P...

Was your Dad in the 305th or 306th? I don't know how I missed your response, but I just saw it this morning. I honestly don't remember which group he was in, without looking through his things in my office. I was just a little kid when we left McDill for Montgomery. It seems like a lifetime ago.......

Beyond that, good old internet search engines with terms such as "CHL" and the "city" frequently yeild pretty good results. Unless ya looking for someone who has no web site and conducts $50 classes at his kitchen table. ;-) And heck, some of those even offer "money back gu...

Yeah, I think that I need to get a little more involved with the IDPA and stuff. I think that I'd meet a lot more folks. Met one guy out there last time I was there, and he was great, but I just can't afford to be at the range day in and day out. Do you come up here and shoot a lot? You're not too ...

Man-- I need to get down around you guys. I'm in need of a good shooting buddy up here in Lubbock! Sounds like y'all had a heck of a time! Try out Patriot range in Lubbock. Other than the regular range operation, they have a steel plate shoot on Tuesdays, a Bowling pin shoot on Thursdays, and IDPA ...

When I was in 2nd or 3rd grade the Air Force decided SAC bomber crews should be armed 24/7 so Dad, a pilot started carrying all the time as did all my friends Dads too. Chuck No kidding......I was born while my Dad was stationed at McDill.....56 years ago. He flew mainly B47's while there, and I re...

I'm in my 50's, and up until 6 years ago I had never been called. Then it started. I've been called a dozen times,some of which were dismissed because I had just served previously. I have served on 3 juries for misdemeanor offences, plus a six-month stint on the grand jury. Thats what was most inter...

No disagreement here.......I have a retention strap on every holster I use.
