I realized some of the jokes in the YOU KNOW IT'S HOT IN TEXAS WHEN??? thread will be true. That gun will be hot when at the end of the work day. For those who keep in your car regularly - what can you do to cool that puppy down?

I have noticed before that things in the center console, the area with a lid, don't get as hot as things that are left uncovered. I will put it in there and probably also wrap it in a small hand towel. That has helped in the past.

Not worried about leaving the gun in the car since I have safes in the trunk of my vehicles and very well hidden kill switches so the cars can not be hot wired, on top of the standard perimeter alarm.

The dean is 100% against campus carry and in the employee and student handbook it states no guns on campus or in parking lot. It's not a tiny campus... we have 4 buildings at this location and another going up right now (many are 4story) and we have two 2 story buildings at another location in town that never has armed security. I am concerned for students and staffs safety if some nut job ever decides to go on a rampage here because our one armed guard will likely be in their kawasaki utv taking a nap in a parking lot half a mile from the main buildings. We are inside of a residential area with little police presence and response time would likely be 10+ minutes for our cops to get here and realize they are not prepared for something like this.

I am not trying to be paranoid but school shootings are nothing new, they just seem to be getting worse every time there is one. Our state nor our campus takes our safety seriously and if I kept a gun in my car and used it to save myself or others on campus property I would be fired and then arrested. People in schools and other state buildings are probably more likely to have a mass shooting, and we are the ones excluded from law changes. I guess it is good for those that can have a gun in their car and it is a step toward less bull laws but I don't think I will be effected ever from the change.

However, and I extend this invitation to all board members who care to make the drive to Grapevine, if you park in my driveway, you must NOT leave your weapon in your car. It could be stolen from there. You MUST carry it into my house and then show it to me so that I can show you mine. Also, the Vice President in charge of Me (my wife) will want to see your gun too, and then show you hers. Her other title is Director of First Impressions. If you're not carrying a 1911, you'll have to make up for it in personal charm. Otherwise, I'm afraid we can't do business together.


Ahhhhh.... I crack myself up.
