Re: CHL convicted of 21 felonies by drawing his gun when he felt threatened by BLM

There are three clear lessons to learn from this incident, although some may only apply in Oregon et cetera. SHOOT If you draw against a crowd, shoot a couple of them. The fact that he didn't shoot was used as "proof" he wasn't in fear of his life. SCOOT If you draw or shoot, run away afte...

Re: 45-70 vs 30-30 in Marlin lever rifle

So I'm looking at picking up a Marlin lever action rifle soon and I'm trying to decide between a 30-30 and 45-70. It will mostly be just a range gun, but the extra power of the 45-70 sounds fun. I do reload so finding ammo in store doesn't worry me. I would choose 45-70 over 30-30 in that case. The...

Dear businesses, "no gun" signs tell criminals you're a cooperative victim.

Re: Texas Traffic Laws

If they turn left into the left lane, they don't have to worry about hitting a vehicle in the right lane. If they turn right into the right lane, they don't have to worry about hitting a vehicle in the left lane. http://i.imgur.com/6piyknZ.jpg Or maybe right turns should follow the red line? :evil2:

Re: Texas Traffic Laws

There's two southbound lanes. Neither has to yield at the intersection if they both turn correctly. §545.101 - TURNING AT INTERSECTION (a) To make a right turn at an intersection, an operator shall make both the approach and the turn as closely as practicable to the right-hand curb or edge of the ro...

I suggest you don't report improper §30.06 signs on nongovernmental property.

Re: Interesting Legal Issue

It's not a class C misdemeanor to pass a non compliant sign. :rules: It's not a crime at all, simply a civil matter. :iagree: On the other hand, smoking within 25 feet of a building entrance or operable window violates the Houston Smoking Ordinance. You better hope you're not attacked if you violat...

It definitely depends if you think "serve and protect" or "occupy and oppress" is their job description.

Re: SB 288 - Motorcycle "lane splitting" bill

I would hope there would/will be some advertising letting people know it was legal so car drivers don't feel road rage by "rogue bikers cheating the traffic laws." As said above, it does add a bit to the motorcyclist's awareness and personal responsibility for safety. http://www.beheading...

Re: Pre application service exist?

If you're trying to pull a fast one on Texas DPS, getting the green light from some pre-application service isn't worth much. I think most people know if they were convicted of a crime that disqualifies them. For other eligibility requirements, like mental health records, I suspect DPS may have acce...
