Whether their sign is legal or not, it seems to me they don't want guns in their place of busniess. I'm not sure how this is different from a verbal notice. If I feel unwelcome I don't want to give them my money. Possibly unarming yourself then having a chat with the manager can accomplish one of tw...

Gun on campus. How shocking. Liberals have taught this generation to over react. Two years ago someone reported a man in downtown Austin with a rifle and the police had most of downtown shut down. A lot of people live downtown and it could just be someone returning to their loft from the range. No o...

I found myself being followed one night as I was driving to a party. I did some twists and turns and they stayed behind me. I then being in an unfamilar area ended up turning onto a dead end street and they came up behind me and stopped. I climbed out of my truck having grabbed a tire iron from unde...

My wife has come a long way with even further to go. Initialy if I was cleaning the guns I had to sneak them outside past her because just seeing them scared her. She was cleaning my office and came across a snap cap and asked me to come in and move it. I eaplained it was a plastic replica and she s...

Supporting my family and the income to buy new guns and ammo are too important. My company has a policy which I believe to be illegal that they can search your car at will and refusing is termination. Do not see the "Parking Lot" bill as doing much to change their minds. In Texas you can b...

Being older is a sign that you can own more guns (as long as you don't go senile).

I'm all for the Parking Lot bill; however if passed will continue my policy "concealed is concealed". My company has provisions that they are entitled to search your car at any time and refusal is termination. While I suspect this is illegal remember if they feel they have problems with yo...

There is a lot of valuable and experienced information available when taking the Texas CHL class,

Mos tof us came to CHL in defense of our families. Becoming involved in stopping a criminal activity in which you have no stake can remove you from your family forever, either thru death, or the legal system. It can also cost a small fortune defending yourself in the legal system which will have an ...

I've been to the Paramount in recent years for first permiere movies, and due to the small seats and lack of leg room have taken a vow to never return no matter what is showing. Was not carrying back then but now with it posted it doubles my imperative of seeking good times at other establishments. ...

There is some good training shooting in IDPA competitions. These are very safe and allow you to practice many things that the local range may not. drawing from a holster, shooting fast, shooting while moving with multiple cover options, multiple threat and friend targets. Many larger towns have loca...

A bank in Chappel Hill, Tx changed its sign of a gun with a slash through it to welcome concealed handgun permit holders. About a month ago, Chappell Hill Bank president Edward Smith looked at a sign on the front door prohibiting concealed weapons from his business and decided to make a policy chang...

If you are asking this question it indicates you need more range time and experience with your weapon. with experience comes confidence. Do not push it until you are ready. My favorite carry piece is a Kel Tec P-11. It has no safety. double Action only with a long difficult trigger pull. carried in ...

It's always difficult to play arm chair quarterback. I have been in the same boat as you as my full size pistol cannot be easily concealed, and through I got my CHL I realized the gun I loved is mainly useless for CC. Solution is I have brought a smaller, much lighter gun for concealed carry. Was st...

I thought the same thing about Austin last year until the papper published a report that showed these were mainly Family volience, a few drug related and a couple gang related. Looks like if you take care of your family, be a good citizen and stay out of trouble your odds go quite a bit up. Was on a...
