      Dallas Police Shooting and Concealed Carry

      Is anyone else rethinking their concealed carry? I am. I don't know if I could have helped in Dallas last Thursday night but I could have, I would have.

      New TEXAS CHL / Gun Laws

      This was done in May, I can't find if the senate ever voted on any of these. Anyone got a source? Texas House passes 12 bills to soften firearms laws on 'gun day' | Fox News -Larry

      No permanent residence

      Here's one for the Hive. I accepted a contract for a job in the ME and 3 days before my departure my wife had me served with divorce papers (totally surprised).
