    Don't remember the bill number and what the status is, but there was such a bill.

    Edit:
    Found it. https://capitol.texas.gov/BillLookup/History.aspx?LegSess=87R&Bill=HB2622

    Seems the bill failed to pass the Senate

    Edit #2:

    I don't really know wtf is going on with this bill. The above link says it failed a Senate vote, but a twitter post by the bill's author said it passed the Senate 21hrs ago.


    TLO has been having some issues lately. I think a couple of batch updates got mixed up. Now it just says it may or may not have had the third reading, but nothing about a vote and passage or failure.

    meh if the feds are after you having an un registered silencer is the least of your worries.

    I personally have never had a fed show up at any place I am shooting and to my knowledge they have never been looking into me.

    Take a gander at the utility poles around your house. They love putting cameras up there to watch people without warrants. I counted a handful one time in Phoenix once after I learned what they look like, or looked like then. I'm sure 10 years later they could be in anything now that all the new 5 g crap is popping up everywhere.

    No they wernt around my house. Lol I was home visiting.

    Google ATF utility pole cameras for some pics stories and a couple court cases about warrantless use of these cameras.

    Got any examples of what that one looked like? I'm curious. All the pics I can find seem really obvious. I'm wondering if it was an old ricochet access point or utility telemetry relay that you thought was a camera. Or a camera that looked like one of them.

    Well the feds ain’t been phucing with all the states allowing the sale of weed, and there is a tax stamp for it!

    I have 3 Texas based suppressor, but the company no longer exists.

    Actually, they have. Answer affirmative about ANY question w/regards to marijuana usage on a 4473, and see how quickly you're denied.
