Re: Memorial Shooting Range Closes
Has anyone heard what the deal is with this? Received an email notice from them Wednesday saying the shooting range was closing immediately but their 360 Tactical training would continue. This was a good range with nice friendly people and decent fees. Also had good quotes when buying through Galle...

Re: Mexico: tourist drinks spiked at resorts. Many die but stories covered up
It appears American tourists are being given tainted alcohol or Mickie's at all inclusive Cancun resorts. Looks like someone important is paying attention. Maybe "tainted alcohol" is not a good reputation to have. Mexico raids 31 hot spots,10,000 gallons of illegal alcohol seized after Wi...

Re: How to get rid of old ammo
an older fellow, a friend of mine has a bunch of ammo up in his attic that's been there for 20 years through heat and cold. I'm pretty sure it would be dangerous to use it,... Why is old ammo dangerous? I'll take a stab at answering my own question. The most likely problem is a squib that doesn't c...

Re: Loaded chamber in posted 30.07 locations legal?
Just wondering if cc loaded is legal while in legal places to carry whether it be 30.07/30.06 or what have you. Why ANYONE with an LTC would holster carry an unloaded weapon is beyond me. Nobody walks around with an unloaded weapon unless they have it in a gun rug and they are walking into a gun st...

Re: Houston TX: another day and another horrific murder/robbery here.
Guilty as charged, glad to see Houston's idiots are better shooters than the ones in Dallas. Ha! I'll take that. Houston idiots might be a higher class of idiot than Dallas idiots. All in good fun. Eh eh. Sbrawley, I'm putting you on the same list as philips964. This was not a "horrific murder...

Re: Should I open carry
I feel more comfortable concealed, I worry if I'm open carry someone could come up and try to take it. Plus if something goes down I want the element of surprise. Get a retention holster if you're concerned about someone taking it. I had the same concern so I bought a Blackhawk! Serpa CQC for my S&...

Re: Home defense: birdshot
I think it's been awhile since we've had this debate. Fun debate. Reading articles is fun. Watching sheet rock and stacks of meat get shot is more fun. Paul Harrell's opinion was that fairly powerful bird shot is required for effective target damage and reducing the likelihood of leaving the house....

Re: SB 88- Making red light camera tickets illegal
I used to live next to a major intersection of 4 lanes at 35 mph and 4 lanes at 45 mph x 2 (for each side of the freeway). The intersection also had count down walk signals that had no relation to the red light because of the amount of right on red turns (had to end the walk earlier than the yellow ...

Re: How would an 06/07 violation actually happen?
I was just trying to visualize how a violation would actually happen - that is, the Class C Misdemeanor of carrying past a sign. The only way I can see these first two happening with a concealed carrier is accidentally exposing your gun, or printing. I'm not sure that the owner could do this based ...
