OhShoot hit the nail on the head.

Wow. Great video.

Another issue you'd face; Say that by some computer glitch, you were issued another HCP while suspended. If the police have to run your permit status for any reason, you'll probably come back suspended. If you're carrying, you could have a rough day. Sure, if you went through the process of taking another HCP class and getting another HCP (assuming that computer glitch was there and allowed it), you may have some plausible deniability, but at the least you could be dealing with a costly legal battle. A HCP is not much more than a piece of plastic. It's what the state says when the police run it that matters. Same reason I didn't mind giving a friendly reminder (in lieu of much worse) to the HCP holder I stopped last week who had his gun on his hip, but left his wallet (and permit) at home. I never saw his HCP, but I was able to verify it in the computer.

I'm referring to the system TDOS uses to issue HCPs, DLs, etc. If you took another HCP class and headed to the DL station to get a new HCP, when they type in your DL # to process the application, a big ole "SUSPENDED" or "REVOKED" is gonna pop up on the screen in the handgun permit status. There's no law saying they cannot re-issue it because there is no "re-issuing". You either have one or you don't. And if you have one, your status is going to be one of the following: valid, suspended, or revoked. I know that the TCAs covering HCPs are different from DLs. What I'm saying is that when it comes to any type of license / permit issued by TDOS, they go by your DL / HCP number. It's either valid or not. If not, it has to be reinstated.

Any ideas yet on where we'll meet?

Ok, I'm no sharpshooter, so I'll submit this question to the minds of TGO. I know why some of the quick release rings might be expensive, but why are some "basic" (fixed) type scope rings so expensive. What makes the $150+ scope rings any better than the $10 ones?

I'm with the others who've said they carry in a variety of different ways. It all depends on what gun, what I'm wearing, etc. Most of the winter I'm OWB thanks to baggy clothes and jackets. Most of the summer, I'm IWB.

Another good one is Centerfire Systems - www.centerfiresystems.com I've found a good deal there a time or two.

If there's one or two particular dealers you buy from often, you might want to send them another copy every 6 months or so. There was one company ( I think it was Samco Arms) that set me up with an account after receiving my FFL. When I placed an order for an SKS from them about 7 months later, I received an email form them saying my FFL was no longer on file and that they only keep them on file for 6 months. By the time they got another copy of my FFL, they had sold out of the particular model I wanted. I've heard that a couple of other companies use this 6 month rule, too. Doesn't make sense why you'd throw them out before they expire, but they do.

Sweet deal. Congrats!

I'm a little late returning to this party, but to the folks asking about reapplying for a permit after suspension or revocation, here's how the TDOS works. It is the same with HCPs as it is with driver's licenses. You have a "handgun permit status" just like you have a "driver's license status". Once the status is revoked or suspended, it is revoked or suspended. There's no getting a new one. If you go leaving the scene of an accident and your license gets suspended, you can't just go take the test again and get a new one. The TDOS computer system saves your status and it is what it is. When the police run a DL (or ID or HCP), we see a "Permit Status" on the results. Everyone in the state has a HCP status. For most folks, it says "None". For those with a valid HCP it says "Valid". If they ever suspend or revoke your HCP, it will remain "Suspended" or "Revoked" unless properly reinstated.

I'm not a big knife guy, but I have a few friends that are. I remember one of them telling me that it's a mediocre cutter. It's great for stabbing, but just "ok" at cutting due to something about the profile of the blade (again, I'm not a knife guy). He recommended that, if you have the cash, go ahead and step it on up to a Ka-bar. Maybe someone else who knows more about knives will chime in.

Me too! Whew, that was a close one

Don't you just love those folks???

Howdy neighbor!

I'm guessing the libs have been passing a link to this poll around. 47% say the bill is good? On foxnews.com?

There are a LOT of fake EOTech sights out there. Last time I searched eBay, I found a good number of them. Check out this page from EOTech. There's a link to a PDF file that has good info. Counterfeit Alert | L-3 EOTech Holographic Weapons Systems

Thanks for the responses guys!

That's an understatement, sir.

I might have to get one of those. This is getting annoying. There are tons of load "recipes" for the calibers I load, but there's rarely a recipe for the powder and bullet I've got.

Kong beat me to it. I love Grafs - awesome prices. Only bad thing about Grafs is that they rarely have what you want in stock. Guess that's the downside of having really good prices.

Midway, Brownells, and Graf give you "dealer pricing" on everything just like they do for FFL01's.

Welcome!
