Re: SHOOTING Allen Outlet Mall Multiple Victims

This may get flagged by Twitter and taken down. It was posted by anti gun Hollywood exec. I have put the link so it does not automatically show. Shooter gets out of car at mall and starts shooting. I have questions about the person filming this. Did they witness something just before? Why no no scr...

Re: Got pulled over in Fort Worth

I've been pulled over four times since getting my CHL. Three times the officer just handed me back the CHL and said "I don't need that." One time on a long road trip, I put the gun in my console. The officer asked me where it was at and then said that he'd recommend keeping it on my hip in...

WTS/WTT 38 Special Brass (deprimed & wet tumbled)

I've finally grown tired of all the 38 special floating around in my 357 buckets and want to sell it. Around 1300+ pieces. It has been deprimed (not sized) and wet tumbled with ss pins. I might even have a tray of 100 hand primed cases floating around to throw in. Happy to sell or trade for value eq...

Pricing Help for 223 Brass

So I have come into an enormous quantity of once fired 223 brass. It’s not crimped. My teenage son is very entrepreneurial and wanting to make money. I suggested that he could “buy” it from me and then deprime and wet tumble with pins. He might even sort by head stamp. Then sell locally. I’ve looked...

Why are ammo manufacturers so bearish about investment?

I could be wrong, but it seems that we have been in an almost perpetual state of ammunition shortages and high prices. We talk in terms of the 2020 shortage, but I can't think of a time in recent memory where ammo was fully stocked and reasonably priced for any meaningful length of time. It's been o...

'Twas Nice Knowing You All

So I was tinkering around on the Internet during a recent business trip, and next thing I know I had purchased five firearms from Bud's Gun Shop: Marlin 1895 sbl .45-70 http://www.marlinfirearms.com/images/bigbore/zoom_1895sbl.jpg CMM MK4 T 5.56mm https://www.cmmginc.com/wp-content/uploads/pics/newp...

Checking a Firearm at a California Airport

I am going to be working in California quite a bit over the next few years. I have figured out the law about taking a firearm there and the ample restrictions. I'm just curious if anyone here has had any experience with declaring a firearm at a California airport. I will be using primarily San Franc...

Can you carry a firearm on a bus service?

So I am taking a new fancy-pants bus service between Houston and Dallas soon for work. I am not aware of any reason why I couldn't carry on the bus. I suppose it could be posted, but I doubt that it is (and I'm not even sure you can post an automobile). I'm most concerned that there is some obscure ...

Best Truck?

So I am thinking of selling my car and getting a full-size truck. I won't have much occasion, if any, to give it heavy duty action; it will be mostly a daily driver, while hauling the occasion large object. It has to seat five. What are your thoughts about the major makes?

Citizen Police Academy - Worth the Time?

I have been thinking of signing up for my police department's 12-week citizen police academy. I have always been interested in the police department (from afar) and would like to see how they operate and learn more about policy and procedure. It is basically 12 weeks, with a three-hour class held on...
