Re: hand gestures

I never cease to be amazed by how rude people are. About 6 weeks ago I pulled into a gas station. I was driving my work truck which is a long bed and because of the radius and limited space I could not pull directly to the pump. I pulled as far as I could and put it into reverse so I could back up ...

Re: A couple of questions?

Yep. Just file with all your other receipts. :thumbs2: I mailed before fingerprinting, too; and that didn't cause any problems.

Re: Obama and saluting

I'm definitely not an Obama fan, but I think that this is one of those cases when he would be darned if he did and darned if he didn't.

But I do believe that he has no respect for the military. Or the flag. Or the Constitution.

Re: Have you ever actually drawn your CHL Weopon in self def

Also pre-CHL, I was staying with another friend who was afraid of her neighbor (and she knew I had a gun). I awoke to find a man standing at the foot of her bed, talking to her. The conversation did not sound heated, but I didn't know him. Flipped on the lights, which surprised him and woke her up ...

Re: Have you ever actually drawn your CHL Weopon in self def

Pre-CHL, but the gun that I carry now. First time, I was returning to my college apartment after Christmas break. My roommate's car was not there, and I knew that she was not home. Opened the door to see a man standing in the dining room of our dark apartment. Pulled my gun, flipped on the lights, a...

Re: A couple of questions?

Ok, the online application is completed, and I have my fingerprints scheduled for 9/4. Do I need to wait to complete the fingerprinting before I mail in the paperwork? Nope. Go ahead and mail now. Your fingerprints are transmitted when you do them. Your mailed application will probably sit on someo...

Re: Isaac Discussion

Obama issued a limited disaster declaration last night. This allows for direct federal assistance (FEMA, I'm guessing). Jindal has requested a full disaster declaration to release funding to pay for all the prep. The National Guard is pre-staged at the convention center (Morial). The Superdome is lo...

Eleven out of thirteen. I'm probably not on the list, though. I'm not so obviously suspicious being a woman and all.

Less than half of speech is "visible" or readable. Context clues help, but a classroom environment makes things very different. You certainly wouldn't want someone to miss half the material because they were lip reading.

Re: New to this

*waves at stealthfighter* Howdy! I live in Spring, too. We don't keep guns stashed in different places; loaded and in the safe when in the house (looking for a bigger safe). On my person when out. I did buy a lock box for each car, just in case I went somewhere where I couldn't carry. I have taught ...

Re: North Carolina: map of CC holders

I'm glad, too. Just ridiculous and dangerous, IMO.

Someone from NC posted this morning. She says that the map is inaccurate or not working correctly - she and the neighbors she knows that have CC's don't show up.
