You guys are talking about the Civilian Marksmanship Program almost like it no longer exists: But it does. http://www.thecmp.org/index.htm But, of course, the M1 Carbines are no longer $20 each (try $420 up through $675 depending on quality). However, one remaining cool aspect of it is that you can ...

I did not see a question exactly like this already on the forum. If a city has their public fireworks display held at a football stadium at a local high school, are you prohibited from carrying there? School is not in session and it is not a "sporting event". Does anyone have a definitive ...

So, the point remains that there are indeed "legal speed limits" for which you can be considering in violation of the law if you exceed. And, you would be fined if caught doing so. On the other hand, Government agencies are apparently exempt from following the laws established specifically...

somewhere... I'll have to dig it up. they are not "suggestions", they are the "reasonable and prudent" speeds, in the absence of other evidence of reasonable and prudent speeds. maybe look in here http://tlo2.tlc.state.tx.us/statutes/docs/TN/content/htm/tn.007.00.000545.00.htm#5...

The DPS should not hold ME accountable and ticket me for not following "speed guidelines" - how does that sound? Actually that is quite legal. You will have to go to court in order to get such a ruling, and it will likely cost you far more than the speeding fine to defend your case. The s...

a bunch of very hard working dedicated people in the the CHL group of DPS I am not saying that they are anything but hard working. I just know from experience that even though you have a dedicated group of employees - if the SYSTEM they are forced to use or follow is inefficient then that just mean...

Most laws that are written for government agencies have no penalties Then what is the point? It is not a "law" if there are absolutely no repercussions from not obeying it. But I know I as a taxpayer wouldn't be happy paying off suits because DPS didn't have enough money due to an unprece...

The reality is that the law sets a guideline OK, so which is it, a LAW or a guideline? I thought it was LAW - but it is obviously not enforced. I suppose it would take someone suing the DPS for a late response before anyone would be held accountable - and I seriously doubt it even then. So, why eve...

To bring this thread more back on topic... The state is taking a month longer than the 60 days allowed by law to process original applications, the newspaper reported. Renewals are going 80 days past the mandated 45-day period. Can someone explain what good it is to have a law like this when the DPS...

Interesting new site is operating now at http://www.gundebate.com/ . Eric Thompson, the owner of the Internet-based sporting goods and firearms retailer that has sold products to the shooters involved with the Virginia Tech and Northern Illinois University tragedies, says his unfortunate twist of fa...

So, do "insane" people lose all their Rights enumerated in the Constitution as "birth rights"? I'm sorry, I missed that exclusion clause. Where is that again?

Online prices might be cheaper, but I get a bit of a warm fuzzy actually HOLDING and inspecting the gun I am buying before I hand over the cash. If I could easily return a mail-ordered lemon gun just like I can ANY other product, then I might feel different.

Jodie Foster was interviewed on The Daily Show the other day. I was thinking she was pro-gun, at first, because she talked about how "powerful" having a gun made you feel - but then at the very end of the interview she blew it by saying something along the lines of "Real people, emoti...

I was just at the Lewisville Medical Center today and their (new) front entrance did NOT have a 30.06 sign (and I looked hard). All they had was the generic "State law prohibits firearms" type signage on the front door.

Did they remove their 30.06 when they remodeled?

Way back in the 1950's when my dad was young and stupid, he was in the army and did something really stupid :roll: and got sent to prison. However, he was later returned to "Honorable Duty Status", and even kept his "Top Secret Clearance". He was Honorably Discharged at the end o...
