Re: Concealed handgun question
I have a CHL and carry as often as I can but I find it very difficult to carry comfortably in the summer. My question is ; is it true that I can be arrested if while carrying, a gust of wind exposes my handgun for a second? If so, is there any chance that legislation this year could fix this loopho...

Re: What to do after an encounter?
you have no idea what caused someone to get out of their car and come beat on your window? maybe you need to take some driving lessons. You're kidding, right? Even if the OP made a mistake in traffic (IE, cutting someone off), the attacker has NO RIGHT to attempt to assault the OP and his family. N...

Re: Violating a 30.06 Sign
Thanks for all the replies folks. I'm still wondering about an actual case of someone being prosecuted for violating a 30-06 sign... I'm still wondering about cases of establishments with incorrect 30.06 signs being told they won't be frequented by CHL holders who don't mention the fact the sign is...

Private property vs. Disorderly conduct/display of gun
Okay so its been beat up pretty good here, I'm not trying to flog the dead horse. Trying to make a point elsewhere. Looking for any caselaw where someone in Texas has been cited on private property for carrying a weapon, or any other case that supports the fact that visible private property really a...

Re: My Fox Houston poll
We are down by 61-39%. Wish the question were worded " Should licensed and trained citizens be allowed to CHL on campus?" I fear the word "student" conjures up the strereotypical binge drinking, dope smoking animal house frat boy types. Yep. Its all about playing to people's fea...

Re: My Fox Houston poll
To me, I don't think they manufactured that question very well. Pretty much sums up the reporting on the story. They did nothing but interview some kids that were all like "oh noes! Virginia tech! Shootouts in the classroom! I want metal detectors!!" :banghead: Watched a different channel...

Re: Need some honest opinions. (Mods move if necessary)
Are they asking you for help and advice? Here's what I've learned about family, though. They ask for help and advice. You give them what seems to be sound, sage and safe advice. They promptly ignore it and do whatever stupid thing they were going to do anyways. Unless they are asking and willing to ...

The idea of not allowing open carry because it might frighten someone disgusts me.

Re: CHL's legal obligation to assist/aid Police Officers
Charles Whitman anyone? Sometimes without the actions of the populus, the day cannot be saved. (Armed citizens used thier rifles to pin Whitman down long enough for the officers who shot him to make it to the tower) I view assisting an officer in distress the same as assisting another person. If I h...

Re: ShotLock Shotgun Vault
Thread hijack!!
Costco has been known to post some locations off limits. Its really hit or miss, though, not consistent company policy.

Re: Filing an 'X' on a bullet.. My father's tale. Reason?
The Mythbusters actually did an episode on this and found the deformation of the bullet did not have the intended effect. I'm thinking that considering how most surplus weapons were in battle rifle calibers, the X'd or tipped end was all about perception, and that the terminal ballistics of the FMJ...
