There are some of us who refuse to allow the criminal element dictate
where we are allowed to go... Of course, maybe this is just a Texas
thing... I suspect that the liberals up in the northeast would feel
differently about this...

Would you like a few? I'd be happy to send some down your way! :-)

I must disagree... Criminals are going to go after easy targets... If
there is a greater chance that they might get killed by their intended
target, they will go elsewhere... It's all a risk and reward type of
scenario... Pretty much the same reason cops go after speeders vs real
criminals -- low risk, good money vs high risk and expending money for
trial and incarceration...

Even a bigger factor is the likelihood that a crook is going to take the
time to look up and see if a potential victim has a gun registered. Is it
even possible to look up information like that?

Well, technically they only bury you if you die outside the US.

And I think the no gun thing has to do with the airport more than the
company. Or maybe not. They are a huge corporation and have huge
issues with liability. I honestly love my company, it's a great place
to work, and most people would back me up on that.

And since in my state, you can't have a gun where alcohol sales make up
a certain amount of revenue, it's a moot point.

If it's not a 30.06 sign, it's not legal...

It is.

That's what everyone says until they see the size of my purse. TINY.

FOIA request.

Try #4 buck, better pattern.

We used to require land ownership to vote... Personally, I think it
was a mistake going away from it...

Yep, those pesky civil rights laws.

In Texas you can't legally take a gun to a drinking
establishment.


There are often reasons why you need to somewhere and taking
a gun is reasonable. But if all you want to do is proclaim
your "manliness" stay home. Many DAs will look up your
blog, public statements and take you to court because you
were "looking for trouble" and that will cost you $5-10,000
if the jury finds you innocent.

For those not in on Texas law, a 30.06 sign is a sign that
conforms to the Texas law on such signs, as to wording and
size and location. 30.06 is the chapter in the law.

..30/06 is the rifle caliber.
