HOUSTON - It was a unique offer by the Shiloh Shooting Range in northwest Harris County, just days after the shooting at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando. Shiloh offered free gun classes to the LGBT community and hundreds of people responded.
"We learned gun safety, said Jared Anthony. We learned that it's not ... it's a big responsibility. If you do carry, it's something that you do need to take seriously. You are providing ... you're providing a service to the community really." More News Headlines

Anthony was one of the more than 300 people who responded to Shilohs offer of free concealed carry classes. The calls kept coming.
"They're not necessarily what we've been told and we're not necessarily what they've been told, said Shiloh owner Jeff Sanford.
He said the classes broke barriers. In the first class, he said 60 of 62 who signed up showed up. He said that was a record for a free class.

Welcome aboard. Unlike the left, those who support the 2A truly have a big tent and we welcome anyone who is willing to defend the 2A.
Unless they have been adjudicated as insane they have as much right to firearms as anyone. Having a mental disorder is not the same as being dangerous to themselves and others.
How are those who commit the sin of sodomy less worthy of political alliance than those who commit adultery? Or those who commit any other sin?
Political parties and alliances are a totally different animal than religious groups. Religion welcomes sinners to change them. Politics (in US) is a coalition of people who disagree with each other on many issues, but agree on a candidate as the lesser of 2 evils.
Yes, almost every election is a choice of the lesser of 2 evils. Anyone who agrees with a candidate on everything is an unthinking puppet. Reagan put the agreement threshold at 80%. This election cycle most people are faced with an agreement threshold much less than that.
Wonder if the shooter at the Pulse Nightclub agrees?.
Those fees are too high!
In Iowa, I just paid $25 for a 5-year renewal. Good for the state and more than thirty other states.
First time application is only $50.
There may be a downside in all this.
Gayism is a mental illness, so there is some risk.
And you may find it disagreeable but thankfully to almighty God we still have due process in this country (most of the time) and our rights can not be taken away on a whim.
If everyones rights are not protected no ones rights are safe.
Liberals have a mental disorder as well as Establishment GOP.
The left is regressing. Now in Basel, Switzerland ,mthey wont serve pork at some schools. While they are at it, why dont they denounce homosexuals in order not to offend muslims?
Swiss Nazis know Hitler’s religion of choice was Islam, and it seems liberals are following Hiitler by default.
Dear 2111,
The State Legislature, in their wisdom, REDUCED the fee to a flat five year one charge of $500.00 from $125.00 a year.
The CHL requestor still has to obtain their OWN passport photographs, and pay the State Police to run their fingerprints.
(I don’t know those costs, because a Parish/County CHL is done by that sheriff’s office. I’m a former federal employee, so my prints are on file, as well as my former security clearances, both federal and military. The $10.00 covers the cost of the CHL ID card.)
I feel for ya.
Way too expensive and complicated.
We apply on-line and then go down to the Sheriffs office. They have their own camera and card printing equipment. The whole process takes about 10 minutes.
Shiloh has good training.
The Democrats are between a rock and a hard place - a member of one of their favored minorities has murdered a lot of another favored minority.
Which group will they favor? (rhetorical)
The LBGT community will have another "sinking" feeling when they find themselves thrown under the bus.
Back in the sixties I was an attendant in a mental institution evenings while in college days. There were some seriously sick people there. Many looked like the lunatics who shot up that Colorado movie theater, shot those children in sandy hook and shot gabby Gifford. Back then if you looked or acted like these clowns they locked you up. Then the left decided that they could tear down society better by letting the violently ill roam the streets.
Quietly gays, during that same time frame went about their lives in the closet, the majority not bothering anyone. Yes there are homo pedophiles. There are also Hetero pedophiles.
I agree people who act out their psychotic nature belonged locked up and away from Firearms. I disagree that faggotry should be necessarily included in that group.
Thankfully to almighty God we still have due process.
Amen

That is why I go to the Parish Sheriff’s office, except there is no online application. They require THREE referential signatures directly on the paper application. THEN I pay my $10.00.
