Commissioned work pays better anyway. As for having a firearm in your vehicle, there are a few exceptions to the law for certain employers, but I don’t think yours falls under any of them. However, you have to bear in mind two things: 1) Texas (I’m assuming you are in Texas) is a right-to-work state, so your employer does not need a reason to fire you, and 2) Carrying a gun is not Politically Correct, so you are unlikely to prevail in court even if you can prove that your employer violated the law by prohibiting you from having a handgun in your vehicle under the provisions of 46.02.

I have a CHL, but I'm not allowed to carry it while on duty. However, my employer told me I'm not allowed to have my firearm in my vehicle on property either. I feel like this directly interferes with SB 321. How does this relate to those working in Security?

There is a website http://www.countryipblocks.net/country-blocks/ that will generate either an allow or a block list of IP addresses that you can just copy into your .htaccess file. I just used that to block all IP not in the US. That should drastically reduce the spambot problem. I hope.

]]> Comment on Commuting as a Competitive Sport by gharkness http://chl-tx.com/2011/09/commuting-as-a-competitive-sport/#comment-95 gharkness Tue, 13 Sep 2011 13:22:03 +0000 http://chl-tx.com/?p=875#comment-95 The point of competitive commuting is not to get to work before the other guy (after all, who's in a hurry to get to work these days?) The point of competitive commuting is to NOT let the other guy get ahead of you! The interesting thing is that these people who will fight tooth and nail to not allow someone ahead of them on the road....are the same people who will smile and let others in when entering or exiting a big room or a theater. The difference is that there is eye contact and the ability to identify one's "competitor." The human animal is exceedingly strange.
