Re: Renewal Time Very Quick

Renewal time very quick ... not in my experience. Submitted renewal online on 4/2. After phone calls to both DPS and State Representative, finally went print pending on 6/2. I figure it will take another 120 days or so for printing and mailing. Update: www to mailbox 68 days, needs improvement, cer...

Re: Academy and Buying Ammo and carded?

Purchased a glock 43 today. Noticed AR type rifles had been pulled from the rack and placed in boxes in the cages below. Joked about Academy trying to start another panic, and I that remember the unpleasantness from the previous panics. Was informed that they can be viewed and sold upon request ... ...

Re: Winchester M22 ammo

They work well in a Ruger SR22 and a 10/22. I have shot up three or four bricks of it, no memorable issues, just the usual 22lr problems. I stood in lines at the Academy and bought half a dozen bricks around the time of the recall, checked the numbers, they were all good to go.

Re: Here we go again

Anybody have any good ideas for Open Carry 2017 t-shirts? Yes. Don't make nor wear one at all. Open carry is ultimate red herring and wedge issue within the pro-gun crowd. No one can really articulate a reason why it is so necessary or important (other than "because: rights" or "beca...

Re: Unpleasant encounter with Rosenberg LEO

StrangeBulge, I would have a respectful talk with her Chief. If she's that tense, what would've happened if you too had gotten shrill and obnoxious, especially given her unjust treatment of you...? Yes, it ended up o.k., due it sounds like mainly because YOU were cool, calm and professional, rather...

Unpleasant encounter with Rosenberg LEO

Headed home from early voting, noticed Rosenberg PD cruiser passing cars behind me, exceeding the 30 mph speed limit , other moving violations, no lights no siren. Once directly behind me she hit the lights and the siren. I pulled into a parking lot, put the car in park, rolled down all four windows...

Re: Tac-Con 3MR rapid-fire non-NFA trigger

Interesting ... but "very very fast" not even close. It seems that one has to develop a rhythm and drum on the trigger.
