    AG Opinion Are Coming Out Today

    We're starting to see AG opinions coming out today - on on SB 11 and on on multiuse buildings housing court rooms (all good for us, not so for those who have violated our rights!). You can find them at: https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/opinion/index-to-opinions Added: apparently more than...

    Texas State Park OC

    I got this from a memo sent out state-wide to all volunteers tonight -- addressing the OC policy for volunteers (which will be prohibited, but CC is and will still allowed). But I thought that this particular portion might be of interest as it gives a bit of insight into what to expect from...

    Open Carry Experience

    As we slowly move towards January I thought that it might be interesting to talk about any OC experience you may have already had elsewhere (as I'm assuming you haven't yet carried in TX!) to get a better sense of how new OC will actually be to us when it goes into effect here in TX. If you...

    No Congrats for Texas...No Open Carry

    Frankly, I just can't stand to keep posting in the other thread. Unless you see a unicorn, after the failed concurrence vote and move to conferencing committee, it is DOA.

    It's now being heard before the house, with a long line of folks waiting to take their bashes on it.

    Hb 910

    As I watch for my very first time the House in action and the committee hearing I have to wonder what if any impact this testimony from citizens will have upon the committee vote. It seems like a never ending number of the same statements either for it or against it, with a sprinkling of "huh?"...

    HB1627 to Repeal Stand Your Ground Law

    And just to make this legislative season extra special, you know, because Stand Your Ground Law "only exacerbated underlying racial tensions and has given white citizens carte blanche to shoot minorities -- particularly young black men -- under the pretext of self-defense." Coleman Seeks to...

    Need Urgent Help Regarding FOIA Process for 911 Call

    If there is a 911 call regarding some sort of an incident (concerning open carry, or otherwise I suppose) and police responded, I'm assuming that the FOIA process can be used to get something. What is that -- a recording of the call? Do they transcribe it? What is the language to ask for that...

    Anti-Activist, Letter to Editor and All Around Idiot Promotes No Guns in Businesses

    I know that this is a slight bit of cross/duplicate....but I really really didn't want this to get lost where it is buried in a post by me in another thread. The enemy...we have met him for sure. This guy submitted a LTE that was anti (you will find that post easily here so won't bother...

    Virginia Beach's Beach Violence - Shootings, Stabbings and Robberies

    Yupper, no reason whatsoever to OC at the beach. My only surprise is that it made the news (although it was below the fold on the front page) as violence is such an "anti-tourist" kind of thing, don't you know.... http://hamptonroads.com/2013/04/concern-virginia-beach-after-oceanfront-violence

    Brandishing in Virginia Beach - Head Scratching

    I was strolling through our municipal ordinances sticky thread and started pondering something that I noticed with regard to a Virginia Beach ordinance regarding brandishing vs. the Code of Virginia. I noted some minor differences between the two (cited in part below to make reading easier...

    Signs Question - Pro-Guns?

    Was pondering something prompted by the recent thread on the Peninsula Town Center stickers -- has anyone seen any pro-gun stickers at any establishment in Virginia? I did a quick Google search and found some interesting examples of pro-OC (and even CC) signs but I don't recall ever seeing...

    Ammo Give-Away

    **Please read this entire post before replying or sending PM. Thanks!** Since the other thread was just to ask about any forum restrictions regarding posting about giving ammo away, and as I've had a LOT of folks asking about it, I thought that it would be fairest to start a new thread to tell...

    Giving Ammo Away Question

    I've looked over the forum rules but am looking for a sanity check on this -- I think that I can post here if I am willing to give away some ammo that I cannot use, as long as I'm not selling it or trading it. I just want to give it to someone(s) here that could use what I no longer have use...

    Virginia Beach CHP Application/Renewal Process Question (Nitpick or Not?)

    I downloaded the CHP application/renewal form last night while I was OC'ing, and was OC'ing as I filled out the application (at a VERY OC friendly business that encourages folks to OC while there) and as I was planning my trip to the court house and reviewing my OC options/requirements for when...
