Re: One more reason to avoid Academy
You can renew your license online and carry an digital version. You go on the Texas Hunt and Fish app to do you tags on the app. If you harvest an animal that requires a tag you fill out the information on the app and they send you a confirmation number that you attach to the carcass (Duct tape ...

Re: Truck Guns!
Short of the TEOTWAWKI, carrying an full-size AR while wearing a half dozen magazines during any event is likely to draw unwanted attention to you, either from law enforcement or ne'er-do-wells.

Shots fired at The Epicenter Church, Burnet, TX
Details are still sketchy.
Volunteer safety team fired shots at men with rifle. Fled in white minivan.
I don’t have “X”/Twitter but a friend just read a statement from the church stating the suspects were seen trying to wedge a rock under a door to keep it from opening. I presume they were ...

Re: EDC flashlight
I've been carrying the Streamlight Poly-Tac for years. 600 lumens (high) and runs around $45 last I checked. I'm on my second one. Lost the first working somewhere. It is my EDC and I use it almost daily at work (facilities maintenance) or around the house. Taken a couple of training classes with it ...

First Responder Continued Ed Outline new 7-2024
I went to the instructor's page and found the Continued Ed Outline (new 7/24). When I clicked on it and entered the password it just showed the original (9-22) outline. Has anyone else found the same thing? I guess I'll see if I can get in touch with someone down there and see what's going on ...

Re: More School Guardians?
As a former teacher, teacher's spouse, and a School Safety instructor I think the DPS needs to revisit the School Safety curriculum. I find that the educators I teach already have a good grasp on the ADD. It is pretty standard in-service training, if not every year, every couple of years. I too ...

Anybody use a Molle seatback organizer?
I just bought a new truck and after driving the old one for 22 years, I had accumulated a lot of stuff. Some of it is junk and trash but a lot of it is what I consider essentials. Some of the problem was stuffing something in "just in case" when I already had three stuffed somewhere, i.e. two rain ...

Re: Mean streets of Dallas - Texas State Fair shooting
For those that have been to the Fair this year, have you noticed a change in their security procedures going through the gates?
We've been the last 3 years.
Year 1 - Entered through the stockman's gate both days. Never had anyone question, look at our tickets, or even glance our way. I guess ...

Re: Mean streets of Dallas - Texas State Fair shooting
The State Fair allows Licensed Concealed Carry. They do not allow open carry or permitless carry.
We were down there a couple of weeks ago. As you enter you go through a metal detector. I showed the attendant my LTC card and he, politely, escorted me to the police officer. The officer looked at my ...

Re: Need help with old Sears electric breaker box and breakers
Pull the bad breaker and get the information off it or take it with you to the hardware/electrical supply store.
Have you also checked the AC disconnect box outside? Some of them contain fuses. While a breaker can go bad, I've found it's usually a fuse (if there is one) in the disconnect box. Main ...

Re: IF You Could Only Have One Gun
I'll assume we are talking about the current world, go-about-my-normal-business, EDC carry. I'd probably go with a Glock, either a 17 or 21. I don't really like the way they fit my hand but I could get used to it. Reliability, parts, yada, yada, yada... I carry and train with Springfield XDs ...
