Are there a standard verbal notice? Or it could be simple no weapons allowed.

obviously making sure it's concealed. There are many people who aren't comfortable with seeing a gun. So, yes if no verbal notice then don't make a scene out of it by asking the hoteliers questions.

Was the homeowner armed with a gun all along? How could he return the fire so darn quickly coming as a surprised I assumed.

True but a direct hit could also mean that a bystander got shot.

I just passed my CHL test last Friday. Our instructor mentioned that the owner or individual of a premise that has the authority can verbally "kick" you out even when there is no 30.06 sign being posted. Legally, the sign MUST BE POSTED. However, my instructor said that they could still ca...

I appreciate all of the feedback given. I will take note. I did heard about the wolves, sheep and sheepdogs theory. Thanks for reminding.

Thank you a lot!



BTW, we came from Europe.

Charles' class is excellent and I highly recommend it. Regarding the use of firearms for defense, it seems that a big concern of yours is an unintentional discharge. Guns themselves are no more dangerous than a rock, but if they are handled by people who haven't conditioned themselves to always pra...

I think with ya'lls mindset, you should just forget about guns for self defense. 2 years just another delaying excuse. . Unfortunately, that is why majority people prefer NOT to have firearms. Therefore, as one of those people, I came to this forum trying to learn more about your perspective owning...

Your story isnt making any sence. You go to a range twice a month for a year. But your house is a gun free Zone. You talk about Subways the last I have seen are not in Texas only the border towns. Then you go on talking about how your buddie had buddies that went back and shot him in his ranch. I m...

Misfiring in today's world is bogus if you have a quality weapon and quality ammo. I've shot for over 40 years and have never had a misfire under the conditions mentioned. By misfire, I meant bullet chambered and triggered accidentally not mechanically. Again, we only frequent the range not the who...

So, my wife is walking home from the subway in the evening and we live near university housing where unfortunately crime occurs. Also, my ex gf made a stupid mistake once when she opened the gate to the front yard (raining and police impostor) and when she realized and ran inside the house to get a...

Thanks, that makes perfect sense. Even if you don't want to carry a handgun, it would be a good idea to take a CHL class from a good instructor. You will learn a lot about Texas law. Taking the CHL course doesn't mean you have to actually get the license. If you choose to get a CHL, it gives you an...

My wife and I like to walk, We were walking one evening in an upscale area which you would presume to be safe. We were shadowed by a car with tinted windows, then had our path blocked when they quickly turned into the drive way ahead of us. They then proceed to roll down the drivers side window and...
