Hi All

I recently moved to Houston. Can anyone recommend some good shops and also a good gunsmith for me to speak to about a trigger job on my S&W 642? Thanks!

I go to a little country church that's basically in the middle of nowhere. It's right off a highway, but it's not a busy highway. Not much around there, but there could be all sorts of not-so-wonderful people on the road, passing by.

My pastor could not care less if we pack at church. If you can ...

How many fellow CHLers wink at knowlingly disregarding legal 30.06 signs yet rail against illegal immigrants simply because they, "broke the law" to get to America.
I don't know. How many?
Is that more or less than the number of companies with anti-gun signs that hire illegals?

If it's 1 CHL ...

I've carried through doors that had miniature 30.06 signs, and through doors that had "paraphrased" 30.06 signs. I've carried through doors that had only the English version. Here I carried through a door that didn't have a 30.06 sign at all.

For me, any situation like that is an opportunity ...

I took my mother to a medical procedure the other day. The facility had 2 entrances to the same lobby, doors facing each other across a sidewalk. Using one would have your back directly to the other. The doors themselves were about 20 feet apart.

One set of doors had the proper configuration of ...

A gunbuster sign has the same meaning for me as it does for a Texas Peace Officer.

Does a Texas Peace Officer violate the rights of a business owner if, while armed, he walks past a gunbuster sticker on a restaurant door to eat lunch?

Legally does he? I think that has been addressed. Morally I ...

Carrying a gun and *feeling* like a cop does not equal being a cop.
As far as I can tell, you're the only one here getting those confused.

I also notice that you didn't answer my implicit question regarding morality (which is different than legality.)

It's possible, I have a newborn and haven ...

Anyone who knows they have to post a "no guns" sign to keep CHL-ers out also knows (or ought to know!) to know what the requirements are for a valid sign.

===> Perhaps. But I look at the open nature of a verbal notification, which has no guidlines, as speaking to the intent of the law. Namely, to ...

The law is clear (to me), by virtue of any verbal notification being valid, that the intent under law is that the property owner has every right to deny access to someone with a concealed weapon.


Don't confuse laws with rights.

Don't assume laws are not necessarily related to rights. The ...

But unless you're a cop that equivalence is only in your ...

I realise I might be a bit extreme in my views, but I view "no guns" signs a lot like people nowadays would view "No Blacks" signs.
They are wrong at public places, hands down.

Having said that, most places that place no guns signs of ANY kind don't get my business. There are a few I'll patronize ...

I think a number of posters here are way off the mark. CHL holder or not, there is no inherent right to carry a concealed weapon one someone else's private property.

Property owners do not enjoy unrestricted freedom to set rules for property that is open to the public.

I understand that as a ...

Do they have an obligation under law to properly advise you in writing or warn verbally that they do not want you (or me) to carry ...

Just a stupid question. If you plan to lock your gun in a box, why do you even carry it in your car?

I doubt you would put the gun into the box everytime you leave your car and take it out when you are back. It would remain locked majority of the time, which is very inaccessible.

Then, why even ...

Here is a ready made car storage unit: http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=282585

More money than an ammo can but less work and portable if you use the cable.

I don't have one but I want one. ;-)
