Texas Law causes new RDS to fail

[Charles L. Cotton]

I have a brand new Holosun 507K RDS on my CZ Compact. I carried it for about four hours when I realized that the control buttons were not working. I could not 1) turn the RDS off; 2) change the intensity of the dot; or 3) change the reticle (it has three). I removed the battery (easily done with side tray), reinserted it and everything works fine now. It has not failed since.

As all Texas men know, Texas law prohibits us from reading product instructions, directions, manuals, maps or road signs, or asking for directions when were are lost. Had it not been for that absurd law, I would have read the user manual and learned that you put the 507K in lockdown mode by pressing and holding the + button for 3 seconds. You take it out of lockdown mode the same way. (No battery tray manipulation or calls to Holosun tech support are required.)

I need to draft a bill for 2021 repealing that cumbersome law.

That ain't Texas law... it's Man law!

The new Holosuns have a lock setting and when its locked you cant change settings until you unlock it...

We could start a movement IMM. Instruction Manuals Matter.

Noooo... Don't repeal that law! I'd never be able to get in the habit of actually reading instruction manuals. I'm okay on road signs, though. But would I have to obey the talking GPS? I hate those...

[Paladin]

My wife has been lobbying to repeal that law for years...

[Lynyrd]

That's funny right there! But, I will say that I've never been "lost." I've lost my sense of direction a time or two, but lost is an awfully strong word.

I have always said, “Instructions are just for people who don’t know how to do it”
If instructions were that important, they would make things not operate, until they had been read! JMHO

This. I'm an engineer. There ain't nothing I can't fix after I've broken it.

I've been known to say "this thing doesn't know where it's going, ignore it, and get turned around.

Sorry Charles, natural laws can’t be regulated.

Whoa! Hold on there a minute. Let's not do anything crazy, here.
If we're 'allowed' to read the directions, pretty soon certain folks (my wife) will begin to 'expect' it.

Rockys Rule #6 If all else fails read the directions!
