Was his name "Cletus" or "Enos"?[/quote]
Aww, c'mon now. Cletus was a tow truck driver. Roscoe was the sheriff and Enos was his Deputy. [/quote]
Cooter was the mechanic / tow truck driver. Cletus was Boo Hogg's second cousin twice removed and worked as a deputy.

Cooter! OMG

I completely forgot about Cletus.

He said that it doesn't matter because in Texas you are not allowed to carry extra magazines in concealed carry, only what is in the gun.

where does stuff like this come from?

That's a great question! Who knows?!

I had a student this past Saturday who told me that he KNOWS for a fact that the "traveling law" says he can carry a gun across a county line, but cannot carry it back unless he spends the night in said county. Ummmm, WHAT?

I would also spend more time and maybe include some more intensive lessons on defusing a situation verbally. This was covered, the "child, parent, adult" aspects of communication, but I think it is just as important as learning how to draw and shoot your weapon should it come to that point. I have read some stories in the news of CHL holders acting like Wild West Cowboys when it was probably unnecessary to fire shots, (from what I could tell by reading the articles, I was not in their shoes so I really can't say).

If you didn't completely understand this section did you ask about it in class? I also just did my class on Saturday, but it was my second renewal along with 5-6 other renewals and at least 20 first timers. My mouth ran a little amok the first hour or two I was there and I realized this and apologized to the instructor and did my best to keep it shut the last few hours. I had thought about this prior to entering the classroom, but was unsuccessful at first. Later, I tried to only ask the instructor to further explain something that no one else asked about yet I know from experience on this forum that first timers often are confused about. Many times in class folks are reluctant to ask about something they're not clear on because they don't want to appear dumber than everyone else. There is a lot of information to cover when the class is done correctly and sometimes the first timers get that deer in the headlights look and clam up.

17rds spare and 13+1 =31 rd of mushrooming lead.
Or 15rds spare and 15+1 rd of same ugly mushrooming lead.
At night, long distance trips: 2x15 plus 15+1 = 46 rds of otherswise nasty looking blips.

There's this one viewtopic.php?f=7&t=46701&hilit=spare+ammo+carry" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

and there's this poll viewtopic.php?f=7&t=36755&hilit=spare+ammo+carry" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I think that second one is the one you were thinking about. I thought I would have to amend my answer, but no. Still carry 40 rounds since switching from .40 to .45.

His opinion is still pretty dumb (I think).

If its a good shoot, it won't matter if you have an extra magazine, or "deadly cop killing hollowpoints", or any other silliness.

Or some liberal anti just making a buck messing with the gun toting bible thumpers. That's just crazy talk!
