Houston travel

[OtterbatHellcat]

Well once they say "sit over there for 20 minutes, and wait and see if they call your name.".....and you sit there for a half hour...it's stupid to just walk away assuming stuff is okay.

I really don't want to do air travel with firearms anymore, and now I have a beneficial way around that, and I'm very thankful for that.

If you are looking for a range in Houston, just north near The Woodlands in Conroe, a friend of mine opened a guntry club: https://www.saddleriverrange.com/

Very nice place and Tom is a great guy.

Seems to me that one would be much better off to ship your firearm to where you're going ahead of time, and deal with it that way.

TSA is such a retard infested fucking shit pile of uselessness, I never really want to deal with it again if I can avoid it. The airline LOST two of our shields last year, talk about kinda starting to shit bricks about registered guns tied to you, nowhere to be found.

The population of Houston is roughly 2.5 million. On a big year there are about 300 murders. Chances are she'll be fine.

Or, just say ...eff it.

That's an easy way also.

So thought 3K people who went to work on sept 11th, or boarded 1 of 3 planes.

Ok, so I read this when posted and have contemplated it for a day and a half. What does this mean?

He's replying to the "chances are she'll be fine" quip.

I understand the point he is making, but it's a different scenario than 9/11 was.

Walking the street in Houston and being ill/unprepared is taking a chance. It's a chance that doesn't have to be taken.

My personal experiences with Houston have sucked, so I try to never go there. Truck broken into within 30 minutes of being in town, Hotel room "broken" into, Police that basically said "you're from out of town? get f*cked, we got donuts and coffee waiting" at every turn...

Traveling with a gun isn't hard, generally doesn't take that much extra time, and solves the feeling naked issue when you are used to carrying 24/7.

It means anything can happen to anyone, at any time. No one thought 9/11 was going to be the last day for 3k people.

Here's 1 story

You go to work one morning , next thing you know someone's grabbing you off the falling floor. When you come out of the initial shock, you have no idea how you ended up in midtown manhatten. Vaguely have an idea you were on the 4th floor of the twin towers, what you thought were minutes ago. That's what my cousin told me he remembers about 9/11.



Then

You walk in to a walmart and some guy's brain pan isn't firing on all cylinders. Shots are going off around you. You could have done something, but ..............your gun is in the car. or at home.


OR... Watching the eagerly awaited, The Dark Knight when some clown starts with the front rows of the theatre . Walking up the aisle indiscriminately killing people.
No one there "thought" anything would happen.


It's the same story, time after time, after time. When interviewed they all say the same thing.

No One Ever Thought Something Like this could Happen here. . and... It's such a peaceful neighborhood, who would have ever thought this could happen.


If possible, while staying legal in what ever jurisdiction you're in. There's no reason what so ever to be unarmed.
