Concealed Carry (CHL), anyone?

[BarneePhife]

I did send him a voice mail last Saturday?

I knew I shouldn't have listened to that voice mail.  Next time I listen to one of your voice mails, I'm going to place my phone inside a zip-lock bag first.

Wow, if I'm thinking I've had a bad day, I think I'll just replay that video... Now THAT'S  a bad day!

So when's the LSD Guns & Ammo orientation day?

The idea of the dry fire session is excellent, once that is out of the way and the interest is still there we can do some live fire exercises at the range. I can get for this a "range" (ok its the bank of the trinity river) but it is none the less a place to go shoot. We would have free use of the area as it is semi-private and Fastwin could yell as much as he wants  . The roads are not bike friendly and its about a 45 minute drive out I45. I can also get for this event a highly trained Dallas County SWAT officer that I have literally known all my life, he even used to ride so he should fit in pretty good  .

However, using the place to shoot and having Mike (my SWAT friend) available are both contingent on his schedule so I will get with him and see what he thinks of the idea. It would be helpful if everyone would chime in on wether or not this is something everyone wants to do or would they rather go to somewhere like DFW. Also would help to know an approx. head count on said event.

Oh almost forgot, if I can get Mike in on this there will be PLENTY of stuff to test drive

I'm up for it.

There's a small cabin. Bring pencil & plenty of paper- we'll be working on a "manifesto".

Is Mike DSO (Dallas County Sheriffs Office) or DPD (Dallas Police Dept.)? You said Dallas County so I assume DSO. Work with them alot but only as it pertains to the Courthouse and jail.

If anyone wants to get serious and and receive excellent instruction I would steer you toward the Tiger Valley tactical training group and T.J. Piling. It is his outfit. I've known T.J. for years and like Kevin's friend he is also a SWAT officer with Garland PD. I have taken many courses from him and helped him instruct over the years. He is a great guy and a awesome instructor. Check him out at tigervalley.com.

He utilizes part of the Elm Fork shooting range (used to be called Winchester Shooting Range) on West Northwest highway, west of I-35 and he uses a range down in the Waco area. Any basic handgun work would be at the Elm Fork faciltiy. This time of year they even do some mini evening classes since it stays light so late. They even do some night fire classes out there. If you have never taken a night class you are really missing something! Took two at Thunder Ranch, one pistol and one urban rifle... really cool! Lots of things happen after the sun goes down, sometimes things go bump in the night. Get tritium night sights on anything you own and learn to use a Surefire flashlight with whatever you own. I digress...

DSO, precinct 3

Correction he is with the Constables office.

ok, its not that secluded. Wait, can we take a stand against "boy bands" in our manifesto? If so, ill bring a whole box of #2s

I would be up for the dry fire, test drive bit.  Still not sure what's "right" for me (no Constitution pun intended)

I'm a big time pro-gunner. Anytime people are shooting, let me know, I'm THERE! If of course I'm not working. I have lots of guns if people are interested in trying them to see what "fits". On that note, here are a few of my OPINIONS:
The Best gun is the one you will carry.
Tell anyone who says, "that round/caliber/bullet is no good" to stand downrange and let you shoot them with it if it is no good.
A giant Desert Eagle .50 will sure do the trick but looks funny tucked in your jeans.
I do not agree with the PLAN to carry a gun in the car. Once in a while if you need to leave it there because you need to go somewhere you can't legally carry, that's fine. I just don't believe it should be there all the time. Cars get broken into and guns get stolen. Both are Really Bad.
Don't get a gun to "scare" someone.
Don't point your gun at anything you don't intend to DESTROY!
Be sure of your target AND beyond.
Don't shoot to mame, Don't shoot to Kill, DO shoot to stop the attack. And by that, I mean one shot may not be enough.

There is a lot more to discuss.
I need to read thru all of the posts. I'm sort of jumping on the tail end of it. I'll do that and add when I get a chance.
