    Concealed Handgun License

    I'd love to carry something like a glock 17 but they are just too big to conceal really well so I carry a ruger LC9. It's nice and thin and has a double action trigger so that it'd be a lot harder to go off accidentally.

    Concealed Handgun License

    So you want to limit the guns or ban them outright? Australia banned all semi-auto guns in 1997. Here's what we can expect if that were to happen... "The first year results are now in: Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent, Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent; Australia-wide...

    Concealed Handgun License

    By the same reasoning, should i not keep knives in the kitchen because someone could break in to my home and use my own kitchen knife to kill me? Or i should not keep a hammer in my garage because i could be bludgeoned with it by an intruder? Just because some evil person could possibly do me...

    Concealed Handgun License

    So what's next? We give up our guns for safety from accidents? We let the govt tell us what light bulbs to buy or when we can use our cell phones? "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.". Benjamin Franklin

    Concealed Handgun License

    I agree. If the situation arises where you believe your life may be in danger, do you really care that it will cost you money if you live through the ordeal? No! $150,000 is a cheap sum for the cost of your life. And anyway, like I said earlier in Texas (where I think the originator of this...

    Concealed Handgun License

    In Texas, the "defense to prosecution" extends to civil court as well. If in the eyes of the law, the shooting was justified, you cannot be prosecuted in criminal or civil court.

    Concealed Handgun License

    Texas chl laws are a little more friendly toward the carrier I would guess. If you show that your were afraid for your life or serious bodily harm it is a "defense to prosecution" One of the videos I watched in class showed a real life occurrence of a man at a gas station swing a plastic trash...

    Concealed Handgun License

    Sorry to hear about your incident but glad it worked out. 99% of those that carry will never need to draw the weapon, in fact there are some pretty strict laws about when you can draw the weapon. I don't remember the exact wording but you must feel you are in imminent danger and fear for your...

    Concealed Handgun License

    It always amazes me how some people are so anti-gun that they don't want people to be able to carry. Concealed carry is great but if licensed open carry we're allowed everywhere and peopled actually did carry, think how much crime would be averted. No one is going to rob a convenience store or...

    Concealed Handgun License

    Oddly enough Texas is one of the more restrictive states about gun control. Kinda weird considering our reputation as gun nut hicks... You'd think we'd have rules similar to Montana or Wyoming, but no such luck. I have a chl and carry pretty much 24/7. Even before I had my chl I kept a gun...

    I am Looking to rent an airplane in DFW area

    Well I was going to go with us aviators but they want 2,000 down in order to get the block rate of $131 per hour, otherwise it's $146 per hour. I found huffman aviation out of FSW and they have a pa28 180 for only $110 per hour. Yeah it's a bit slower but will still be a couple hundred dollars...

    I am Looking to rent an airplane in DFW area

    Ha why didn't I think of that!? It'd only be about $4k round trip at that rate :) Sure I'll let you know when I'm headed up there. About to walk out the door to fly down to Toluca right now and will be there for a couple days. I'll probably head up to DTO on Monday.

    I am Looking to rent an airplane in DFW area

    I emailed her back asking if there was anyway to make an exception, but that was only a couple hours ago. We'll see what happens. I did find a pretty good price on a DA40 at us aviators in DTO. Only $141/$126 block and they have several to choose from. I'll probably go with them if the RFC...

    I am Looking to rent an airplane in DFW area

    Yeah it seems like a good deal. I received a response from my email to them about joining but they said that I would have to attend one of their monthly meetings before I could join. Unfortunately they aren't having a meeting this month and the next meeting isn't until January 17th. It really...

    White Jungle - An Aviation Based Novel

    Hey thanks! It's my first book but I've had good feedback thus far. I've already started the second book, it's actually a prequel to White Jungle, with some of the same main characters. If my first book has any kind of success it might motivate me to finish the second one a little faster.

    I am Looking to rent an airplane in DFW area

    Thanks Dave, Yeah I sent an email to the address listed on the website last night, just waiting to hear back. And in the email I asked if the 177 or archer was available for those dates. I would definitely like to join, it would give me some incentive to do a little more personal flying...

    I am Looking to rent an airplane in DFW area

    Yeah that would be really long in a 172 with any kind of headwind... Probably 7+ hours... No thanks! I think I'm going to join the RFC club if I can... Here's the math... 10 hours in a full rental rate c177rg @ $150 hr = $1,500 10 hours in a RFC C177rg @ $105 hr = $1,050 + $500 deposit...
