Re: thoughts on this video???

It's funny that when I watched it I was thinking the guy was being such a jerk. Reading the 6 pages of comments here made me realize that the guy was me 20-30 years ago. Back then I had nothing to lose and stood my ground. Now I have a family, professional license, business and sadly I have been tem...

Re: 9 Months- Still no Plastic !!

In the mail :hurry: :hurry: :hurry: Checked last night for the first time in a week or so and it's on it's way. Sent packet via regular USPS on 5/21 so if it get's here today or tomorrow it will be a little over a month. Just for the record my process went really fast with the DPS once they acknowle...

Re: 9 Months- Still no Plastic !!

nice - I never received any correspondence from the DPS but according to the DPS Online I'm in the process so if they flag me I'll take my lashings because I truly was negligent in getting to a class. I was lead to believe that I had 1 year to finish the steps (according to the email receipt from th...

9 Months- Still no Plastic !!

Ok so I'm a procrastinator. This is for a renewal btw. Online app: 9/14 Class: 5/19 Mailed: 5/21 DPS Received: 6/11 I didn't have time to take the course until I made time for it. Since we can carry in our car I was fairly well covered since I am either at work, home or in my car 99% of the time. .5...

Re: I am glad that I always follow the 4 rules

I'm kind of a slacker regarding the rules I guess. I know that accidents happen but as long as I avoid putting myself in a situation that would cause an accident then I'm fine with it. I have 2 rules: 1. Use common sense 2. Keep guns locked up if you have kids- they have no common sense. I've been s...

Re: First AR-15, Upgrades?

Since you said it's your first rifle I just wanted to input something regarding ammo- Stick with brass casing even at the added expense. The steel cased ammo you will find at a much cheaper price but the steel doesn't expand into the chamber when fired so you will get much more blow back of fouling....

Re: Venting about Renewal Class !!

It's funny that you mentioned a review site for CHL classes. That is the reason I was on here as a first time member. I was looking for some site that had coments or reviews but found none so just vented here. LOL

You start one and I'll be your first post :hurry:

Re: Venting about Renewal Class !!

Side note- my wife took her renewal class in Longview at a pawn shop that sells safes. Forgot the name but it's close to 80 and High St. She said it was fantastic. Very informative and a great refresher course. Due to timing I opted for the other I mentioned above and I think that is also a possible...

Re: Venting about Renewal Class !!

Not going to name instructor but was in East TX. The guy was just one of those types that shouldn't be teaching but did have passion for concealed carry. I will tell you that my other class that was great was the Bullet Trap in Plano. Those guys did a great job but that was years ago so not sure abo...

Venting about Renewal Class !!

Sorry but I have to vent if only to inform others to please check out the renewal class before you arrive. #1 Class was so long- including a 20 min. drive to and from the class it was door to door 8 hrs. I assume the breaks, test, 1hr. plus ridiculous practice shooting in class with his laser tag de...
