Re: I let my LTC expire

Agree with Paladin that the status page is kinda slow to populate updates sometimes

On a positive note, I had students earlier this year report back how long it took to receive their LTCs in the mail. The average was around 2-3 weeks from completion to showing up in their mailbox.

ARREST MADE: Shots fired at The Epicenter Church, Burnet, TX

Yeah, not a coordinated attack so much as a "Made Up" event... Church volunteer arrested for making a false report. Seems to have been lots of angst & gnashing of teeth, wasted resources, & an embarrassment. There are LOTS of Church Safety programs out there that are doing wonderfu...

Re: Caldwell county new gun law

Looking at the details, it looks like it only prohibits "the discharge of firearms in subdivisions on lots 10 acres or smaller". So, not all rural properties; just within subdivisions.
