Knowing its Texas, and many family of my own from NY as former LEOS, I would find it surprising if they weren't equipped with patrol rifles, and body armor is standard issue. The only difference is tactics and a willingness to run towards the the threat.
As AVE says frequently on YouTube...
Thanks. References were contacted April 7th, so I assume it's on a judge's desk now, but have been concerned about the whole self defense reason since about 10 minutes from the time I left the clerks office. Good to know Monroe is ok with a self defense reasoning.
Due to a pending pistol permit application, currently sitting on a judge's desk, and I do mean right now, and the fact that I mistakenly wrote for self defense instead of "for all lawful purposes " it unfortunately does matter to me :)
Talk about bad timing.....lol
If that's the case than, the only Monday or Thursday available is the 6th. Every other Monday or Thursday is a conference day or order list issuance day.
To all former/ current military....
Isn't there a section of military law that allows for the disobedience of a direct order during extreme circumstances?
I think its relevant in this circumstance on a civilian level.
Welp, I had raised my Hope's due to the responses, but as of yet nothing. I guess my original estimate of June or July at the earliest is probably more realistic.
Of course more gun laws are on the way. Because they are so effective.
See! The school shooter only broke 49 laws!
Another surely would have stopped him.
Guns are nowhere near on thier way out.
Guns in America outnumber people.
More people are killed annually by cars than guns.
Both require a license ( handguns).
Most who own cars have less training than those who own guns.
Your opinion doesn't change facts.
Your opinions is swayed by your...
This. This is what's sick. Kids.....killing kids. We as a nation have fallen so far. Both the Buffalo shooting and this have similarities. Both in restrictive gun zones.
But this. 2nd, 3rd and 4th graders. 2 days before the end of the school year. We all here know ( and were proven right in...
If the prior estimates I've read or heard are correct, they are falling behind on releasing opinions. They apparently needed to release 5 a week, but have yet to do so.
I agree about the buffalo shooting and its potential impact on CCW permits. I also wondered for a very long time how or if the NYSRPA vs NY case would impact it as well due to the timing of our applications and the potential date of ruling. In either case, I'm truly glad you followed and am...
Congratulations! I've enjoyed reading your posts here and glad you have come to the conclusion. You've waited longer than I have, and deservedly recieved your permit first. I read your encounter with the individual who had assistance from a Sheriff and glad you tried to keep them honest. Enjoy...
Congratulations! Glad to see things come to fruition for you. I appreciate the response a lot as it does give hope I will receive word soon and I'm also glad this chain of posts did what I hoped it would do. Shed light on the timeline from beginning to end. As guns and gadgets would say now that...
Welp, 240 days have gone by. As said before, references were contacted on day 196, 44 days ago. When contacted I was told it will be most likely 2-3 more months until a determination is sent in the mail, so at least 1 1/2 of that time has passed. My estimate, which is purely a guess, is most...
So the proposed gun control legislation due to buffalo shooting has been touched on via press conference by Hochul. To all who mentioned AOW'S, correct. Additionally, added the ole micro stamping on projectiles from all semi automatic weapons. Ya know, to track the firearm used in a crime...
I also think national reciprocity is extremely unlikely, ever. Correct me if I am wrong, but living in a republic will forever allow individual states to set thier own laws regardless of federal rules.
A side note- ACB wrote the latest opinion ( it was in regards to deportation). That leaves Clarence Thomas the potential lead for this case. I hope he writes it.
I apologize. It's maddening how small minded these people are. How they fail to see thier own actions contribute to so many alternate negative reactions in thier own communities.
If only logic could enter the equation with a lawmaker, and they reversed thier opinion on gun control to see the failure of thier ways. It will never happen, but I sure wish it would.
Let's hope there is no second safe act. As unfortunate as this situation is, it also proves an undeniable fact we all know here. Laws don't matter to criminals. It was apparently written in his manifesto he knew any opposition he may face would only have 10 rounds.
Criminals don't obey laws...
Fading from the national spotlight? Possibly. Fading from New York politics? Very unlikely.
To them, this happened on thier home turf.
In an election year.
A year which may result in very close outcomes in November. One that can be actionable before said elections. To them, those in the...
Isn't the AR15 the most popular sporting rifle in the USA? That could just mean a statistically more significant chance of it being of that manufacturers firearms more than another's, and that particular firearm in general. ( simply, higher odds)
This is sad for everyone. Sad for the families who lost loved ones senselessly. Sad for that community who were just going about thier day. Sad for the first responders who had to deal with this today and in thier futures. Sad for those same first responders families who will potentially see...
My understanding is training is always center mass. Largest area. Could it be wrong. Additionally, under stress, training would (or should) take over, less thought, more reaction. If consistently training center mass, it may have simply been reactionary. Just my .02
