Re: This one is a doozy of a question

So the 30.05 signs do not have meet the same size and lettering standards as the .06 and .07 ??? No, they must meet the same requirements at .06/07 signs to be legal. includes language that is identical to or substantially similar to the following: "Pursuant to Section 30.05, Penal Code (crimi...

Re: ATF raids Amish dairy farmer seize guns

The scary thing here is that there's no indication of how many firearms he sold over what period of time (other than an anonymous "tip" that he says is inaccurate).

We really need some clarity on this point. Especially given the potential penalties involved.

Re: The Arms Room is up for sale

I think a lot of firearms businesses do themselves no favor by turning off a significant amount of customers. I visited a small shop recently where the front door had two signs. One telling people not to enter if they are wearing a mask, and another saying that if you smell like "weed" you...

Re: This one is a doozy of a question

I am smiling as I think about the scenario where a LEO writes me a citation for carrying past a 30.06 /30.07 sign (but no 30.05). I would be severely tempted to ask the officer whether he had an LTC, because if he did he would need to write himself the same citation. After all, the principle would b...

Re: Mexico sues US gun manufacturers for $10 Billion

So a country's government is suing private companies in another country who do not market or sell their product to anyone in their country, because criminals illegally import said product, and then illegally use that product to do harm. This would be the equivalent of the U.S. government suing Toyot...

Signage dilemma

I went to a local Mod pizza location yesterday for lunch. I noticed a big 51% sign posted right next to the door. Anyone familiar with this restaurant chain knows that there is zero possibility that they actually get over half their revenue from sales of alcohol for on-premise consumption, so I knew...

Re: Vax to Vote is Coming

How does that square with mail in voting? If you don't need an ID to vote, how would they know if your vax card is really yours? I don't worry about this in TX, at least not yet. Don't need to worry about it in TX UNLESS of course the left is successful at nationalizing taking all election rules an...

Re: Is Ensuring Election Integrity Anti-Democratic?

According to the left it is a given that a significant percentage of minorities are incapable of obtaining a photo ID, either because they are too ignorant, or just too lazy to actually get one. Based on this (obviously racist) premise, they then conclude that it is the height of racism to deny thes...

Re: Denmark: 17 year old girl will be charged for fighting off rapist with illegal weapon-pepper spray

The most offensive part of this is that the Danish government is telling women that they are essentially obligated to allow themselves to be raped by making it illegal to take reasonable precautions to prevent this act of abhorrent violence, such as arming themselves with a weapon that can be effect...

Re: TX: Lubbock potential self defense death occurs

My audio seems to be slightly delayed when I watch the video, such that I can't identify the shot that was fired into the ground. But it appears that this happened after the father pushed into the boyfriend. I'm basing the following on that fact pattern: Here are my thoughts. The father was clearly ...

Re: TX: Lubbock potential self defense death occurs

I'm not sure if others watched the same video as others here, but I saw the deceased guy repeatedly refuse orders to leave (trespass), advance repeatedly on an armed man after the shooter tried to move away, and grab the shooters gun (assault). If he had managed to get the gun, the shooter might wel...

Re: GA: "Jogger" chased and murdered

Slowly hold hands up. Say don’t shoot. Stand still. Freeze. Turn around and run away (distance is your friend). Keep hand still and where guy with shot gun can see them. Don’t: reach in you pockets, make sudden moves. Reach behind your back. In no case run towards someone with a shotgun pointed at ...

So will this be the first time a man, videotaping in a separate car 100 ft from a self defense death, is convicted of murdering a jogging stranger in his neighborhood, where you leave your car unlocked because of break-ins, and a jogging stranger who previously fought with police trying to arrest h...

Re: Illinois Supreme Court: Tax on Guns and Ammo sales ruled unconstitutional

This is a good decision, but I agree with the article that the part about where the tax funds go is concerning as it seems to imply that a tax specifically on guns and ammo would be constitutional if the tax funds were ear marked to cover the costs of "gun violence" whatever that means. If...

Re: Well I'm not shocked by this.

So the ATF has delivered their opinion on this, like they delivered their opinion on bump stocks. My question is whether any of these things have actually been found to meet the legal definition of a machine gun by anyone who's opinion matters (i.e. an actual judge)? No. The triggers are designed t...
