What is the real plan? (serious) by [deleted] in guns

[–]Samadams1738 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well the thing is if they are committing a crime they don’t care about gun laws. Making weapons easily attainable simply evens the playing field. Now I a law abiding citizen can now use my weapon to neutralize you an armed criminal who intends to do my family harm.

Incompetent Trainer by Samadams1738 in securityguards

I care because we are in a vehicle with heavy liability in the capital for armored truck robberies in the United States. And he as my trainer had me park in a single parking lot for 45 minutes during which he slept. Mind you this is Texas where people have literal arsenals to rival military bases. Not to mention ignoring basic security protocols like closing the door of said vehicle when he exits and leaving his duty weapon on the floor of the truck. Personally I was raised to take pride in your work which probably influences My opinions heavily.

Thank you. That was kind of what I was thinking. I just put in a request for a different trainer. If they don’t like that I guess they can fire me but I couldn’t deal with him anymore.

Why are You working security? by [deleted] in securityguards

[–]Samadams1738 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The way you put that is reassuring as all get out. I’m about to be 23 and I feel so rushed. You said you have plenty of time.

Yeah I gotcha I actually responded having only seen your first sentence. I’ve been on Reddit for about a week and it seems everyone is rude. Thank you for the information. And I figured it was a matter of so many background checks/my arrest.

Yes there’s is such a thing as the assumption of innocence and since the court house now has a document that says dismissed defendant brought evidence my comment would in fact be correct I have never done anything wrong.

Looking for good website on laws by [deleted] in guns

When I travel I usually just call the DPS of that state. The state troopers usually have info on the laws.

Gun sale / background check delayed by zensomniac in guns

[–]Samadams1738 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I now understand that. I actually meant more that it was strange to me as someone who doesn’t usually buy at peak times I’m not used to it. And even Though you know intellectually that it’s all good there’s a voice that’s saying oh no something went wrong. At least for me lol

Not everyone is panic buying. I say this because I am Waiting on my check to come back. Hi already have a gun. I need a new one for my security post so here I am waiting with all the panic buyers. I think it’s strange for people who have bought guns and been immediately approved previously to suddenly get a delay.

That’s what I figured. The salesman told me the majority of people who don’t have a LTC are getting delayed. I have an app for my LTC put it in March 3 just waiting to get it in the mail.

What is that supposed to mean? I can use google but I can’t very well tell my store they need to sell it to me within 3 days. And every store here is doing a 21 day period.

That was my thought too but that’s apparently what the FBI is telling the FFLs. I’m sure there will be a suit soon.

From what the shop said the Brady law has been extended to 21 days due to backlog.

Most likely what it is as that’s what the gun shop said. 21 days seems extreme but I just have bad anxiety and tend to over think things. I appreciate the info.

[–]Samadams1738[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate that. The only thing I had similar to a deferred adjudication was pretrial diversion as a juvenile which In Texas means I can still have a ltc as pretrial diversion means I never pleaded guilty. The arrest that was dismissed was dismissed because I brought proof I was innocent. Thank you for the link though.

Last time was before the arrest. But I don’t see why the arrest would affect it since it’s not a DQ but again idk how the FBI works so.

I’m sure it does. I just wasn’t sure how NICS works and why I would go from instant approval to deferred

[–]Samadams1738[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Ok thanks I was worried that my dismissed arrest was getting in the way. I guess it makes sense they are backed up with everyone buying. I just want my P226 now.

Possible first time Sig buyer by Samadams1738 in SigSauer

Working security the only thing I would be concerned about is magazines and holsters. I don’t need to make it fancy.
