Re: Oh man it's been a long while since I was here

Oh, and I reached out to the NRA to see if they can help.

Oh man it's been a long while since I was here

Talk about life keeping you busy. It's been eons since I was able to walk these halls. I have a project I am working on and thought this site and its members would be the best bet to hit paydirt. I'm looking for a comprehensive list of all the gun ranges in Texas. I want to reach out to them and inv...

Re: Austin Convention Center

I can confirm the Austin Convention Center does NOT have signs posted for all events. No photo - but there were no signs anywhere. I entered the North, East and South sides via both consumer and vendor/shipping entrances and there is NOTHING on any of the doors. Anything that does appear there seems...

Re: Austin Convention Center

Thought I'd post an update to this. ACC doesn't specifically prohibit firearms, but it allows the event organizers to do so should they wish. I attended a recent video game event called RTX in mid-2016 and they had enormous clear plastic stickers with white lettering stuck to the glass doors on the ...

Re: 30.06 and 30.07 @ Capital Factory in Omni Hotel downtown Austin

They're on the 16th floor. The signage is on the 16th floor in the elevator lobby area. There is no way in or out of anywhere other than the bank of 6 elevators or the front glass doors of their office space. There is no signage I saw anywhere downstairs. I came in through the parking garage, went u...

Re: 30.06 and 30.07 @ Capital Factory in Omni Hotel downtown Austin

I was there to meet clients and had several possible clients in the elevator with me. I didn't want to make a scene at the time as that would give away the fact that I was about to store my gun in my car. I *should* have taken a picture on the way out. The only "guy" there was a low level ...

30.06 and 30.07 @ Capital Factory in Omni Hotel downtown Austin

Heads up the business incubator Capital Factory in the Omni hotel in downtown Austin is fully signed for 30.06 and 30.07. I didn't take a photo of it because there were too many people right there and it would have seemed really odd to take a photo of it where it was. I was on the 16th floor I belie...

Re: Texas businesses that ban guns should be liable if unarmed patrons are hurt, Dallas senator says

This will be VERY interesting to follow. To have a clear, conscious & highly deliberate act specifically called out as vulnerable BECAUSE it limited the freedoms of a person who was injured during the commission of what is likely to be a felony crime by a 3rd party will be extraordinary for the ...

Re: What Did You Do In The Reloading Room This Week?

@AndyC Sorry for a slow reply - I haven't been on in a few months as work got busy. I think the yellow had the hardest time covering thoroughly, but that color & the red seemed smoother overall than the black which covered the best but had a more rough feel to them. I haven't shot them so I don'...

Re: What Did You Do In The Reloading Room This Week?

Been trying my hand at powder coating bullets. I recently also started casting 223. I have cast & reloaded 9mm lead but this is just my 2nd occasion doing so with the little 22 boogers. It's also my first time reloading 223. I'm using Harbor Freight powder in black, red and yellow in addition to...

Re: Recent encounter with LEO

Yes, I knew it was a fishing expedition. I couldn't even SEE the so-called burnt out light, and I hadn't checked the tail lights in a long time. I'm not going to have a dispute with the officer on the spot. Frankly, since I was armed, my dad has his carry permit from NV and we had other guns in sigh...

Recent encounter with LEO

Short version for those reading on your phone, it went GREAT. Officer Kitchens here in Cedar Park, TX was a pro. I was driving my wife's minivan that day to pick up my dad & his wife when they came to see us. My son riding shotgun, with my father and his wife in the first row of passenger seats....

Re: Hog hunts near Austin TX

How big were they hogs Chemist45?

I'm trying to understand an average amount of meat to be had from a typical hunt.

Re: Hog hunts near Austin TX

Are we going to need an ATV to haul the hog out after field dressing it?

I haven't ever tried to drag a 150 lb dead weight any real distance on a hike. :)

Re: Hog hunts near Austin TX

Ah. I understood agent to mean his representative, but it seems there is a stronger & more narrow definition by Texas Parks & Wildlife. Gotcha.
