My how this thread has migrated. By no means am I opposed to open carry. And probably will myself. On occasion. I meet alot of public. I don't want to introduce any scare factor at all. It's just hard to do with company uniforms sometimes. The owner and i are working on a solution.

As of 6;30 this afternoon my application is still stuck in BG. Not sure why but I hope to have it next week sometime. They assured me that they "just had to go through the steps". Never indicated any problems that arose even after I ask if there was a problem. Some of you with the exact sa...

Great responses guys!. I use the internet daily! It's a great resource. Now, I'm in the HVAC industry. How is it helpful? Tons of resources online for reference on troubleshooting and installation. I have been in this industry for 40 years now and it has totally changed since I started. New technolo...

when you OC you give up a significant tactical advantage. I wish I had a nickel every time someone said this. I've found most people are oblivious to their surroundings, even in uniform people sometimes don't even notice we are armed, so take off the "look at me" clothes, and the gun carr...

Been following for awhile. Haven't posted yet. My timeline is as follows: Class: 12/5 All supporting documents mailed: 12/10 Fingerprints: 12/10 Confirmation email: 12/14 Called today and they said my background was in review. 44 days so far. I do have a non disqualifying misdemeanor from 12 or so ...

If we start censoring information where do we draw the line? We can't demand 2A rights and do away with 1A I absolutely agree!!! But as it is right now, any stoned half whit with a crock pot and a gift card from Home Depot or Lowe's can kill 30 people. I am all for the 1st and 2nd amendment! I hope...

Should we have some sort of censoring on the available internet access? A lot of countries already do it! Just as an example. There have been several bombings around the world. And what they discovered is that they got the info from a web site. Hell, I have an 80% ar lower being delivered soon with ...

I realize that this doesn't pertain to your 30.06, 30.07 question but might be of some relevance. I and my team service (HVAC) 2 local PD's down here. We have card passes to move around anywhere inside the buildings. Most of us carry large knives on our belts and they have never given us any static ...

The wife and I just had a weird conversation. While I prefer CC, because I don't want to scare or intimidate anyone because of a weapon. My wife just expressed that she wants me to OC for a sense of security and I'm sure there is a pride issue as well. She will be getting her LTC soon. Anyone ever ...

Had a guy that I saw several times in the area begging. While me and the boss ordered the buffet, he took the cast off his arm and ordered margaritas and a premium meal. I never gave again!

Cops are just like the rest of us! They have more exposure to guns than most. I am in the HVAC business (manage mostly) and have represented the last 2 company's I have worked for. We do alot of work in plants, ships and shipyards and my favorite is local law enforcement and cities. Besides the perk...

Spoke to a really nice gentleman this afternoon. Apparently mine has been in background check for the last couple days. He said they were finishing up my background and should be finished with it this week.

Great to know. Glad to see there is not as much panic as so many expected. Now, as for me and Longhorn Steak House. I will never eat there again! (nor did I the first time) The wife and I visited one in south Houston (now closed) several years ago. The wife ordered a steak med-rare. After several mi...

I received email confirmation on 12/14/15 as well. I spoke with them this morning and they had to chase down my CHL-100. She left me with the impression they haven't even started. Squeaky clean background. I guess I'll go sit down and wait to see what happens. :banghead: Curious to know if the web s...
