Re: Texas Vehicle Inspection

I see this as a mixed bag... Less government is good, but I think overall road safety will suffer a bit. It's apparently not a problem in 38 other states. The main problem I see with this is folks who have non-functioning tail lights or brake lights. They typically don't know their lights aren't wo...

Re: Democrat Eric Swalwell Calls for Buyback of All AR-15s

I will sell them mine for 1 million dollars. If they are willing to pay that price, I will sell them a couple of mine. Yeah, any marketing text book will tell you that a fair price is whatever is agreed upon by a willing buyer and a willing seller. I have a feeling that's not the sort of negotiatio...

Re: Waiting Your Turn In Robbery Situations

Talker #1 says *if* the guy who's not near the counter has a 2-second draw he should pull his firearm and shoot the guy in red because the other guy will run and not return fire. That'a a BIG bet. Robber #2 has a gun in his hand. What's to stop him from simply pointing at the customer who's shooting...

Re: War with Russia

I've been avoiding commenting on this topice so far, but… I don't believe Putin's strategy in Ukraine was to "…draw the U.S. and allies into spending tons of money and sending military resources to Ukraine." I think he assumed that the U.S. and NATO would not get so directly involved and t...

Re: Firefighter/EMT Wrist Watch suggestions

A couple of years ago, I gave up on electric watches and got myself a Seiko with a self-winding movement… this one . … I finally decided to go back to using an old-school wind-up/self-winding watch. Been happy with it ever since. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this watch to somebody who was going...

Re: Traffic stop in Houston

Well, I've "been told" by a police officer that if a light is yellow when you enter the intersection, you're okay. :anamatedbanana Sounds to me like it is subjective. I suppose a person would need to test the issue in court to find out. Like someone posted above, they can write us up for ...

True, but it's my understanding that the primary reason they're using 1:7 is to stabilize tracer bullets which are longer than most other bullets.

Re: windows operating system 11

My spousal unit got a new computer earlier this year which came with Windows 11. I'm still using Win10 on a computer that's too old to upgrade. She's getting along fine with Win11. She's more of a power user than I am. As a retired accountant she does the taxes and maintains numerous Excel spreadshe...

The good news is that they're still making replacement parts for these old, out of warranty, models.

Hmm, this article was last updated two years ago.
It would seem that nothing much came of it.

Re: ATF Released New Proposed Pistol Brace Rules

I am not for sure how the ATF came to just write a memo and it is law. What happened to the House, the Senate, and the Presidents signature? There are three ways laws come into being. The categories are: 1) Legislative Law - Enacted by congress 2) Executive Law - Executive Orders and rulings by exe...
