The only thing that bothers me about the notification aspect is what about public records laws? In many states if you write a letter to an elected official like a sheriff it becomes a public record. Unless state law provides an exception for Form 1s/4s sent under this new rule everyone's supposedly ...

I'm fairly certain you would have to leave Texas to find a another franchise. As far as i know, as of about two years ago all applebee's in texas are under one franchise owner. That seems to be the MO nationwide. Ohio, I believe, is blessed with two franchisees. Both post. When this started becomin...

In another thread I mentioned in passing how HPB used to be posted here in Ohio (pretty much since CCW became legal in 2004 I think). In the last two years all the signs have come DOWN, so it's very odd that they would suddenly start posting in other states. I don't have one near me so I've not been...

At the very least they should be charged with littering.

When carrying in liquor establishments became law in Ohio a few years back, almost every Applebees location began posting. Calls to corporate were met with a non-response response, basically saying that corporate has no official position but it's up to each franchisee to set their policies. Come to ...

Maybe you'll come to find that like all the other states where OC is legal it's a nice option for specific situations but in practice almost never happens once the novelty wears off. The media will get bored and move on to something else and by spring everyone will wonder what all the hubbub was abo...

SB should of came out an just said stop dragging us into social issues instead they took a side. That is Sb's choice, mine is not to use SB's anymore. SBX has been saying that since at least 2010 when this started to gain steam (no pun intended). Here we are three years later and clearly the messag...

Interestingly it seems that unlicensed, non-residents will be allowed to carry in their vehicles - mental health check or not. Having looked at the list of 22 places off limits for carry I don't think my trips to Illinois would be materially different if I had one of their non-resident licenses ($30...

Food for thought ... The detective might be onto something where he said being a victim of a crime might prevent you from getting in trouble. I'd bet a case of ammo that if a drunken underaged female reports being raped in her dorm the school will not go after her for possession of alcohol and/or be...

You don't see the two Houston PD unions getting involved in something as blatant as this incident;they're too smart to make that mistake and lose any credibility with the public. Trying to blame this on a new concealed carry law is absurd. Not to mention that there's nothing "new" about O...

Funny when we do our annual qualification we're encouraged to bring our own guns for some free range time.

Alas, it looks like things failed for this year. The clerk conveniently took two days to "certify" the petition which consisted of only 50 signatures of people the clerk has worked with for the last two years. The House voted to discharge the bills from committee yesterday and then the Spe...

Update! The representative circulating the discharge petition got the 50 signatures he needed. This means that tomorrow (Weds 12/8) the House will vote on moving the bill out of committee. Assuming this vote succeeds, which it should since an absolute majority had to sign the petition, the bill then...

Bumping my own thread ... things are getting very interesting in Ohio over the next week. The long and short of it is this summer the Senate passed SB 239 as I mentioned in my last update. SB239 would allow carrying in any establishment with a liquor license provided that the CHLer isn't drinking. I...

For those who answered the airport scenario by using the restroom -how do you avoid public panic with the racking sound? It's pretty distinictive. Pehaps a well timed *cough*? But seriously - how? We just flew into DFW yesterday and had to get a rental car. I was annoyed by the gunbuster sign sayin...
