Fair enough. Your initial responses came off with a tone that is very indicative of a new CHLer with limited life experience. It is a viewpoint I run into alarmingly often with younger CHLers (mind you at 30 I am still a baby compared to some of the folks here). Your last post was more clear and I ...

killerfly, I'm going to cease response to the topic of law vs moral as I don't feel I am being understood correctly. Just know that my piece will not leave its resting place on my side until my life or a loved one's life is at stake. At which point, weapon's hot and someone's about to be perforated,...

Sigh. I am not trying to bring you down, but you need to hear what I am saying. Please think about it not only for your sake, but for the people in your life's sake as well as fellow CHL holders. I hear you, loud and clear. Look, the law does what it can to protect the interest of the good guy, but...

I wasn't very clear as to if you were on his property or on a sidewalk/public road during your interaction. If I am reading it right you had pulled onto his property. This is debatable. The gravel driveway went all the way out to the county road. Where county property ends and his property began is...

This is very wordy, and I apologize in advance. I'd like feedback, so please read and respond if you have time. A few months ago, my roommate, his young female cousin, and I made a trip to San Marcos from our residence in Lockhart to indulge in some Pluckers chicken wings. I wasn't driving, so I hel...

Springfield Armory XD(M) 3.8 Compact receives top ratings from me. It'll treat you a million times better than the SD40VE. It also comes in both 9mm and .40S&W (plus .45ACP but that wasn't mentioned as an option for you). I used to own an SD9VE and hated it. I experienced seemingly inherent feed...

It is now *technically* day 3 of my concealed carry journey, and I gotta say, I'm lovin' it. I've done 3 Wally Walks. One on the day of receipt of my plastic, one while ordering a prescription for meds, and another to pick up said prescription. On the most recent visit, a local LEO happened to turn ...

All my guns from my manufacturer of choice -- Springfield Armory -- have a grip safety and a trigger safety. While the grip safety sometimes feels cumbersome, I KNOW that my piece will not discharge unless a proper grip has been established AND the trigger has been fully engaged. Ultra Safety Assura...

No sir, I go gangster style. My belt does all the work for me.


Of course I use one. The holster resides in my waistband.

My status on RSD's site does not even reflect receipt of application. You're one of several people who's mentioned checking your status on the RSD site. I haven't been able to find that feature, and until now I figured it was an older feature that was no longer available. Can you post a link to the...

Aren't stupid people just the greatest? I usually have a good experience at Cabelas. I stopped by the location in Buda yesterday (upon receipt of my new CHL :mrgreen:) to pick up an IWB holster for my Springfield XDs. The associate that helped me let me borrow their XDs from the case so that I could...

I simply fail to see the point in carrying a piece that's not ready to rock. I'm on day 2 of my CC journey, and I'm comfortable with with shoving my XDs into my waistband in condition one. Hell, I have to carry in condition one; otherwise, I lose 12.5% of my ammo capacity. ;-) Besides, one's weapon ...

From what I'm reading here and on other forums, 7 days from final submission to plastic in hand is just ridiculous. Maybe I'm lucky. Nevertheless, I love Texas and she loves me back. Wally walk was fun. :D Spent a good 15 minutes in a crowded line at the pharmacy. That alone pretty much rid me of th...

Hey all, First time poster here at TexasCHLForum. Received my license yesterday, so here's a timeline for anyone currently waiting: June 21: Class. June 22: Submitted initial application. August 3: Finally got prints done. Took forever to find a time/location due to work schedule. August 4: Submitte...
