This is one of the few cases I believe carry should be federal just like drivers license. You get a carry in one state good for all. In Texas you can have a gun in your house, car, place of business. I looked into carry a lot of good that does if you travel. If you take a trip even if you have a carry permit from the home state, and get caught in some of our friendly eastern states ten years for you. I leave it home, pisses me off.

Nor do I but that doesn't mean the feds have anything to do with that. DLs being accepted in all 50 states is a state level agreement. Why do you think it works so well? :-p

You were military though right? It's different for y'all and students. It may have changed since then. A friend of a friend moved here and didn't change his license and got pulled over, we almost had to go get him because the officer was about to not let him drive anymore since I guess technically his DL wasn't "valid."

I guess you just miss the point , like one permit for all 50 states, like federal recognized hope that helps

Not really I know what you're trying to say, but since I'm against that point, I just wanted to clarify that the DL system isn't fed thing. Most people think DL are already a fed thing though. The feds screw up way too many things for me to trust them with even more of my day to day life. If the citizens of a state can't fire those who don't represent them then that's all the more reason for me to not go to that state. Maybe if I didn't think they'd use federalizing the permit system to further their anti-gun agenda I'd be more inclined to want it to go federalized. Sadly however I only see federalizing permits (or most anything else) as a step backwards.

The sad part is there have been bills in both the House and Senate to have reciprocity on CWPs for years but they can't ever make any head way with them.

In Hawaii all you need to do is buy a big box of donuts for the Chief of Police! J/K

You need to go through all the steps as the OP stated in the first post, and then you can't get a CHL because the Chief of Police is the only one allowed to issue it, and he won't unless you need to carry for your occupation.

 

I took a 2 day class that was comped to me, price would have been $210 however, this was for Utah and Arizona.

I thought it was a very good class...I had 244 of 250, second highest in my class and experienced a lot of things I wouldn't have if I didn't take the class...like moving and shooting, firing from the hip, around obstacles etc.

I was told the DPS office in Utah and Arizona needs to send me my docs within 60 days, and it took them 55 days.

The reason I took the class is because I was planning on moving out from Hawaii...it's just not the same place I grew up in, and move to Texas.

 

Once I was in Texas though, I thought it might be better if I had a Texas CHL, so I took another class for $100 and this class was not even close to what I went through in Hawaii.

Never the less it was still a good class to take and only 6hrs long.

 

I think for the most part everyone should take some kind of class before given a CHL, and it wouldn't hurt to have the medical records checked just to be sure the person is stable.

I don't see the need for finger prints or my SS, they don't need to keep track of me that's for sure.

 

Also the steps one has to go through in Hawaii just to purchase an firearm is totally infringing on the 2nd Amend.

Here in Texas, I went to a show and purchased a Bonds derringer for my wife, showed my DL for proof of residency, paid the bill and walked away with the firearm...how simple!

 

I also had the opportunity...actually I got caught speeding 8mph over the speed limit, to inform a Police Officer that I was carrying when he came to my window.

He didn't seem to be alarmed and said "Thank you for letting me know" I then proceeded to inform him of my every move and told him where I was carrying.

It went pretty smoothly...other than the $171 citation, but I earned that one!

In Kentucky we had to sit through a class, watch video's, multiple choice test and than go to the firing range. The sheriff in my small town taught the class. He sent our info to the state, after about a month and half our certificate came in the mail. The sheriff's office has your pictured license card. Take the certificate to them pay a fee and they give you your license.

 

In my opinion every state should require a class, some people can not safely handle a firearm and therefore need to be shown proper handling. I would hate to hear someone lost there life because someone CCDW didn't handle their weapon properly and kill someone by accident. I love hearing when someone get's their CCDW, we need more good law abiding citizens carrying firearms. Of course if a person does not want to carry a firearm that is your right as a law abiding American citizen.

I agree and I would also like to see the number of hits increase to pass the firing line test, my opinion 11/20 is too lenient especially with someone applying for our CCDWP.

I trained my wife for months before she took her class and it did pay off, she shot the X out of the 10 ring perfect 20/20.

Ok apparently my 4 or 5 was wrong. With West Virginia now added we're up to 8 states with Constitutional Carry.

 

I heard it was 13 States with constitutional carry. This is where we need to go. If you are legal to buy, you are legal to carry. No federal anything on carry, please. I believe Texas has or will have a constitutional carry bill.

Now it is, in March when I posted that it wasn't that high yet :)

      5.3 / 6.2 valve covers / oil burning

      By FiLo · Posted

      Any update if the new valve cover help with the oil consumption?  I have a 2014 GMC sierra and my truck is consuming a lot of oil so I’m wondering if replacing the driver side valve cover will stop some of the oil consumption. Thanks

      primary drive belt tensioner

      By Deadwood · Posted

      I bought belts and pulleys for my '20 L5P at Rock Auto a couple years ago. I have used them for many years, and almost always save significant money, especially when I buy maintenance stuff ahead of time.   They carry many OEM parts, which is all I use unless an aftermarket is shown to be same/superior, or if it is an insignificant part or unavailable OEM part anywhere else. RA is usually lower priced, often by a bunch, but parts are sometimes unavailable or out of stock, and I do shop around and sometimes find better prices at other sites.   Be aware that you pay shipping, and if you buy multiple items and they are coming from different warehouses, the shipping can kill the advantage. Planning ahead is best if possible.   If you have a transmission service in the near future, check out their OEM (AC Delco ULV) fluid, usually MUCH less than anywhere else.

      10L1000 anyone with High Mileage ? I hate Damocles....

      By Deadwood · Posted

      New member here, very long time occasional guest. Saw this thread, thought it would be a good time to contribute someting. It is only my experience and not a claim that everyone will have the same.   I bought my '20 3500 L5P new and have put 99.9% (literally) of it's current ~400k miles on it myself, with over 50% of that towing loads between 4k to 15k, and to me this truck has been nothing short of amazing. For the first 235k I had zero issues, and from there until 321k I replaced a NOx sensor, two failing glow plugs, and three of the notorious injector connectors. I believe this truck is in part, a testament to good luck, but also good care and following a decent maintenance schedule (I also keep meticulous records.) As a result, it looks as good as a well cared for 70k rig, up and down, inside and out.   At some point before that 321k mile mark I began to get a little spooked about the 10L1000, especially the valve body. Word of mouth about potential issues prompted me to jump on the net to sift through all the noise and determine what all the fuss was about. I routinely take long trips, coast-to-coast and points in between, so roadside breakdowns can be '...a thousand miles from nowhere' and a bit of a challenge, and though I had no issues, my guard was up and activated.   And then I stumbled across a chance to salvage some parts off a new 2025 that had been wrecked in transport. I grabbed a few wear items (alternator, pulleys, etc.) and on a whim asked what the ten speeder would cost me. It was cheap...really cheap. I knew some changes had been made in the '24+ version 10L and were supposedly not compatible, but I called service/parts at my local Chevy dealer and asked why and they didn't know. A call to a well known aftermarket transmission outfit revealed it was very likely it would be fine, but to them not 100% sure.   Because it was cheap (really cheap) and I was spooked, I took the chance. Had it installed by a local shop and it worked like a champ, shifted just like the original. At it's first service at 37k, I had the shop put in a Next Gen valve body kit, which after some initial hiccups and rough shifts, smoothed out though with somewhat firmer shifting.   All that said, I have a very serious concern about my newer transmission as just two weeks ago it suddenly began to exhibit a strong reluctance to engage forward or reverse. It was a bit past due anyway so I took it in for service. The reason it was sticking was due to 'glitter' in the fluid clogging the filter...not good folks, often indicates a converter giving out. We ended up going ahead with the new filter and fluid, first to see if it would move and shift, and then if so buy me a little time. It did, and I've driven it over a thousand miles and it is shifting smooth, no noises or slipping. Regardless, it looks like a third gearbox is in my future so I can resume taking long trips with some confidence. In the very short term, my curiosity will have me examining the fluid to check how much glitter has reappeared.   An earlier poster had alleged, in the context of 10L100 failures, that it is another example of how we seasoned citizens somehow descend into hysteria, lose control of our senses, and react irrationally after brief encounters with the idiocy of the internet infosphere. Let me say (and I have used and abused said internet since it's infancy) there is no segment of the populace that has a corner on over-reaction to digital garbage. Just as my offering of experience in this arena is purely anecdotal and should not be considered gospel or all-encompassing, I believe it is still worthwhile information to consider, along with other relevant anecdotal experiences about things like complex transmissions, especially when balanced with other sources.   So to answer the original question, yes I got high miles out of my first 10L, trouble free for 321,000. Now I really wonder how much longer it would have went. Did I 'overreact' to the internet ghouls by replacing a 'good' one with a 'bad' one? Maybe. Who knows, the thing might have taken a puke a 100 miles later. So I'll just fix it again, then move on and start thinking about all the other stuff that will eventually wear out. It still has the original brakes (they're at ~60%), original injectors/pump, turbo, water pump, etc....pretty much original everything. Knock on wood.

      6 Speed vs 8 Speed

      By swathdiver · Posted

      At peak temperature.  They get to cool down and warm up more, especially those with the external cooler.  I have three GMT900s and one of them has over 225K on its original transmission.  Fluid gets changed about every 36K miles, all of it.     It's not the bean counters, it was the government.  They had to meet CAFE standards and other government requirements.   To get around that, we tune them and modify them to our liking.
