Re: MI:4 dead 7 wounded in HS shooting- 15 yo in custody

The County Prosecutor had a news conference and it made me cringe inside. She was very clear that there were MANY opportunities to stop this from happening. There were so many failures at so many levels. The shooters' Teacher saw a post that the kid was texting and took a picture of it. It was full ...

They also had lots of 300 round Winchester .22LR Super X 40 grain for $40....

Re: Secured area of airport

As a retired Delta Pilot, I can say that MANY people legally carry on the aircraft. Federal Officers can carry with no real reason. Thousands of Pilots are Federal Flight Deck Officers and carry their weapon when traveling as a passenger. Local LEO's can carry when "there is a need from the tim...

Re: Anyone Seen a 3005 Sign?

This is what the DPS web site says..a quote "Amends Penal Code Section 30.05 to authorize the posting of a sign by a property owner to exclude the possession of unlicensed firearms (licensed handgun possession remains a defense to prosecution)." I honor 30.06/07 signs and that is it. I don...

Re: New [Pre-paid legal service] Email

That is why I highlighted the restaurant passage. I had not heard that or seen that published anywhere. I was hoping to get some comments on it.

New [Pre-paid legal service] Email

Is It Really "Constitutional" Carry? “Constitutional.” What words or phrases immediately come to mind when you hear that word? Foundation, solid, powerful, liberty… “shall not be infringed”? “Constitutional carry” should be the same, right? The recognition that the United States Constituti...

Re: OK what is a 46.03 sign?

The places putting up the 46:03 signs DO NOT need to put up signs to ban licensed and unlicensed carry. These places are no carry by statute. (Schools, race tracks, polling places, etc.) I believe they might put them up to inform the unlicensed not to carry there.
