Re: My instructor said....

There are two things an instructor can do to help untangle the confusion of complex rules and laws. First is to give the student the latest CHL-16, and to inform them that it can easily be found on-line. The second thing they can do is to give them the TexasCHLforum URL. We are given a lot of infor...

Re: Clinton team used special program to scrub server

:iagree: Unfortunately, these days, it seems half the electorate and a good number of elected officials on both sides of the aisle have the attitude of: "What difference at this point does it make??" to quote a certain someone.... I definitely agree that there is way more to the story. Too...

GAO Report on ATF Firearms Data Compliance

The GAO recently did a report for Congress on ATF compliance with laws concerning deletion / aggregation of firearm owner data. Some ATF systems were not in compliance with the law according to the GAO. I found interesting the number of different systems the ATF has for tracking firearms data. http:...

Re: Valid 30.06 sign but no 30.07 sign - what to do?

This makes the discussion even more interesting...at least to me... From the FAQ's on their website: Prohibited Items- In addition to the restrictions mentioned under our Food & Beverage Policy, the following items are not permitted on the Pier: •Lawn chairs and folding chairs •Markers, spray pa...

Re: 30.06 and 30.07 posted - at elementary schools?

Our school district posts both, in all their full legal size glory. Not because they have to, but as a reminder as has already been posted.

Re: 'Instructor' license

It is added at renewal time if you received an instructor cert before the renewal. Otherwise, fill out the form and pay the money to have a new one printed up that says "Instructor". The fee is for the re-print ahead of them sending a renewal license.

Re: New Suppressor. Use existing Trust or wait until changes

Get it done / submitted / bought now. Purchases before the new rules go into effect should be grandfathered in. Purchases after that time for NFA items will need the new requirements met.

Re: Pawn Star arrested for gun and drug charges

Let me get a buddy in here to determine if these are real drugs or fake. Seriously though, I read in the OP where the gun charge was " Prohibited person in possession of a firearm ". Has he been previously convicted of a felony? I've heard that him and Corey run with the OMC crowd. My lim...

Re: New and Improved NRA Pistol Course

I have been putting in all kinds of classes taught, not just LTC classes under the "Other" portion of Non-NRA classes. My understanding is that they don't necessarily want to see us teaching solely NRA classes, but some kind of pistol related classes so that skills teaching pistol classes ...

Probably. Perhaps they should be different and try "No Armed Robbery Allowed" signs....

I'm sure the criminal element will follow through with their request to not rob the store. :mad5

Re: Multiple Guns for OC What is legal?

The law doesn't state how many / what type of firearms may be carried, only how they are to be carried in the case of open carry. In the case of concealed carry, even that is not present. The way I read the code, someone with a gun on each hip would be legal as long as they are following the allowed...

Re: my chl

It should be 2 years for the CHL-100. The one year you are thinking about is probably the length of time DPS will keep an application on file once it is submitted.
