  1. And believe it or not, if you renew your non-resident CCL, they give you a FOID card instead that says CCL on it. So I now have a non-resident FOID card.
  2. I thought a Federal Judge forced the legislature's hand, and threatened mandating Constitutional Carry if they didn't pass some law asap.
  3. Please allow me to clarify the confusion expressed above about Texas carry law. If you have a Texas License To Carry (LTC) or any CHL recognized by reciprocity (including Illinois BTW), you cannot be prohibited from carrying anywhere, with two exceptions. Those places statutorily prohibited (e.g. schools, etc.), or private property where the owner has posted the exact state prescribed signage. Specifically the 30.06 (concealed) or 30.07 (open carry) sign. If you do not post these signs, your corporate policy, gun buster sign or whatever you post has no force of law. Public places, not statutorily prohibited, are not allowed to post. Parking lots are not considered premises and must be posted separately, they rarely are, I've never seen one. Even employers who prohibit possession cannot enforce carry in your vehicle in their parking lots. So, while Simon Malls may have a corporate policy, their stores in Texas are not posted, so they are not gun free zones, especially for licensed concealed carry. The only other exception is that if a proprietor (who has not posted) discovers you are carrying, they can ask you to leave. If you do not leave, you are considered trespassing, and that can cause the appearance of LE. With Constitutional Carry, it is a bit more interesting. The only way a proprietor can prohibit constitutional carry, is to post "no trespassing with guns signs". Note that these signs have absolutely no bearing on a licensed carrier and no force of law on them. If the licensed carrier is discovered, they can be asked to leave, but they cannot be prosecuted for violating the "no trespassing" sign. Hope this helps
  4. This was not a gun free zone. The site was an outdoor outlet mall, which means most stores are entered from the parking lot. To prohibit open or concealed carry, licensed or not, stores are required to post the correct legal signage if they want to restrict carry. According to my acquaintances who have been to this mall, very few of the stores were posted. And parking lots are rarely, if ever posted. You also cannot be prohibited from carrying in your vehicle. The guy just pulled up , jumped out of his car, and started shooting. If I had been there, frankly, I would have been looking for cover, not trying to engage the shooter. And I am bemused by the comments that LE is somehow withholding info about the shooter. Quite a bit is coming out now about him, at least here locally.
  5. 3/28 - applied without printd 6/29 - Active, 93 days 7/10 - in the mail, 104 days
  6. I also went active on 6/29, and no mail yet, but's it's a bit farther to TX.
  7. We're very accommodating. Hey, when this happens, come on down and OC. Now, I just wish you guys could fix IL for when I visit my daughter.
  8. I'm certainly interested in any response. My understanding is that TX only likes to do it on a reciprocal basis, altho that is not law.
  9. Texas. While no reciprocity yet (and probably not very soon), anyone who can legally possess a firearm, and is not in the act of committing a crime, can legally carry concealed in their vehicle. It must remain concealed, but there is no duty to inform. The only problem could be gun free school zones and post office property. You can also legally carry concealed from your residence directly to your vehicle and back again. It is called the Motorist Protection Act.
