Excellent post and good food for thought. Thank you Charles. I agree, increasing our numbers, by increasing the membership in TSRA and NRA is of paramount importance. and your numbers are certainly achievable. It will take increased exposure to the general public, perhaps advertising, but achievable...

totally.

Not only careless but supremely foolish. He didn't make absolutely, doubly, positively sure it wasn't loaded before he started playing with it. And 16 y.o.? Methinks the parents should(or should have) required the guy to take some basic gun safety courses. Now, can the mom be charged with negligence...

FWIW: Winchester Gallery in F.W. has about 50 boxes of 9mm in stock. I called right after they opened, and they had 24 at the time. When I was there they received 6 boxes of ammo in from UPS, and more 9mm came in, along with other pistol ammo. They are trying to limit sales to 1 box per customer. Yu...

Loop 829, Ft. Worth: .45, .40, .22 Wal-Mart, Eastchase Pkwy, Ft.Worth: .38 spl, .45 - very little lef...

I know what you mean! I called Wal-Mart at Randol Mill & Collins in Arlington at 7:30 this morning. They got in some .45 but by 7:15am it was gone. It's not worth it driving around hunting for it....it just wastes gas, and that's getting expensive too nowadays.

IDK = I Don't Know.

I guess I'm officially now in the waiting game, except mine will be a 3 step process in waiting. I applied online last night. Now I get to wait for the packet, then I get to wait for the class, then I get to wait for the license. At this rate I'll be lucky to get the license by Christmas. Just in ti...

Amen to that!

Thanks Jim!

Is there any benefit what so ever, of sending a certified copy of my birth certificate along with the other required documentation to DPS after taking the CHL class?

Also regarding the passport holder......will this be supplied by my CHL instructor, or do I need to go buy one?

Thanks!

Charles, thank you. Your dedication and leadership by example is an inspiration to us all. Your efforts go noticed, and your actions will cause many to join in with you to actively campaign for our Second Amendment Rights(me for one).

What can I do to help?

Hi allinh. There are as many ways to do this as you can imagine. I myself, like to educate myself as much as I can online about the particular models that interest me. Then I go to my favorite large gun store to see them in person, and check out their prices. If the price is right, I'll buy it then ...

I have my routine for foraging for ammo down to a fine art: 1. Call the 2 Wal-Marts closest to me at 7:30am every morning(when the mgr's get there) If ammo in stock, go there asap, and buy up to the limit(currently 2 boxes). 2. Call Academy sports at 8:30am(opens at 9). If ammo in stock, go there as...

I'm taking my course from these folks: http://safegunacademy.com/classDatesNew.shtml#jul18" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; RRK & Assoc. lists a Euless address, but I don't think that's where they give classes(maybe Bass Pro Shops in Grapevine): http://www.txgunpermit.com...
