I get my WWB 9mm at Wal-Mart and the prices have gone up. It's about $12 for 100 rounds. Used to be under $4-something for 50 rounds, but I haven't seen them carrying the 50 rounds boxes anymore. The checker at Wal-Mart always asks me if this is for use in a handgun. Being the legal age to buy the a...

I understand your point, but by that logic my son will now thinks all cars and trucks are toys. I grew up with toy guns but I firmly learned that GUNS were not toys. It takes some effort to be a parent and teach childern the difference and right from wrong. Seems though alot of "parents" ...

How is the Kangaroo holster working out? My biggest concern with them is that it'd take too long to draw since you'd have to lift up your whole shirt. It doesn't look like it could be done discretely like most holsters on the waist. It also looks a little uncomfortable, or at least takes some gettin...

Just wanted to put in my $0.02 about this range. It's the only place I go to when shooting in SA. I've recommended this range to everyone who hasn't been there yet. The staff are all nice people and even helped me push-start my car once when I left my lights on. I also did my FFL transfer for my Ste...

I used to check my status every morning but as I get closer to 60 days ( 48 days as of today) I just check it every Monday. I good time to practice your stlye/manner of concealed carry at home so you get used to it when your time comes to legally carry. See you around!! I was the other way around. ...

Just called DPS again. I was told they are still waiting on paperwork to come back in. The good news is that they said as soon as it comes back my license will be issued. But, I couldn't get an answer out of the person for how long it typically takes to get paperwork back. Currently day 57. Really h...

My trouble with it (the way this is written), is that the CHL holders first thought was to reach for his weapon. Absent any visual clues (weapon in the hand of the other driver, reaching into his pocket, etc..), or lacking a clear verbal threat, then one's first reaction should not be to "prep...

It sounds like everything worked out. I would probably feel for my gun in a situation like that. I'm not saying I'd draw it, but just prepare myself discretely. I was told by my CHL instructor that the first use of deadly force (by a CHL I believe) was due to a case of road rage. Some guy accidental...

I've been spending some time reading through this section of the forum and I'm excited to think of what might be changed in the next legislative session. Everyone has posted some really good ideas. What I'm wondering is how do these ideas go from the forum into a bill? Does everyone just start writi...

Sorry to hear about this. I can sympathize with you wanting to reconsider your stance after this has happened. I was chastized for saying this a few months back. Can't say I would or I wouldn't use "deadly force", but the thought of someone taking something that I have worked hard for make...

Such optimism Reysc & Flatland. I'm on day 85 today. As mentioned on previous posts, my wife & I sent packets on 01/02/2006. She got hers on 3/25/2006 (about 54 days) and I'm still "processing Application". I've called 3 times just to be directed to someone named Sara. Got message...

I would be in favor of something like this, but I'm wondering how it would be implemented. It couldn't be one long thread of businesses (like this one) because you couldn't organize it or confirm other's obersavtions easily. It sounds like you'd need someone to write code that'd be able to do those ...

I just got my Smart Carry in today. I'm still waiting on my CHL so I haven't been out and about with it yet, but after a little playing around getting it right and comfortable I'm really starting to like it. Sitting down and standing up isn't much of a problem. Drawing is faster that I imagined. I'd...

Just wanted to drop in and say hello to all in "the waiting room". I'm currently on day 50. Almost time to start calling in I suppose. Still says "processing application". I'd love to have my CHL by day 58... that'd make a wonderful birthday present! For about the last week I've ...

I'm not 100% on this so someone feel free to correct me, but I believe your record prior to being 21 years old is not checked in the background check unless it was a felony.
