Re: My website

When you force a page width using   (NBSP) instead of using align right/left to position your pics like TAM suggested, you risk alienating people who have a different window size (or monitor size) than you're trying to force. Also consider that more and more people are accessing the web fro...

Re: Parking lot, parking lot what ya gonna do

Is it illegal for Texas CHL forum members to say they received their plastic?

Is it illegal for a FFL to ask for a CHL if you want to bypass the instant check?

What happens with the Obama administration, including this, is the result of democracy in action.

I used to live near train tracks. I wonder what that rumble would register on the Richter scale.

Re: My problems at range today- help requested

In your specific problem, it sounds like you've shot so much rimfire that you've developed a flinch with 9mm. Your brain knows that you're shooting 9, your ears hear 9mm noise and your instincts want to control that greater recoil. The first step is to double up with earpro. Use disposable plugs an...

Much to be learned from this story. That's so true. 1. Thou shalt not steal. 2. He called 911 but when seconds count, the police are minutes away. 3. If the police don't show up in time to prevent the theft, http://www.texaschlforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=16557" onclick="window.open...

I agree. What if cars lose any remaining warranty when they're sold?

Re: A Concerned American

The Bill of Rights says our right to carry guns shall not be infringed, but the enemies of the Constitution make rules saying we can't carry in post offices or COE lakes or schools. Don't get me started on religious fanatics passing laws that are different on Sunday than every other day of the week,...

Re: Road Rage!

first lesson of CHL, de-escalation of incident including traffic related rage. I think a lot of instructors don't really teach that 1/4 of the course. They teach the test answers but not the actual subject. For example, PAC was on the test. Maybe it still is. It's easy to see the C mentality but th...

Re: Write in primary for write in candidate.

How about we use the most feared US government agency in the fight. The IRS. Instead of income tax rates based on marital/family status, make the rates based on immigration status. We can adjust rates to meet revenue requirements, but how about something like 20% for US Citizens, 25% for Resident Al...

Re: I'm disturbed...

I'm more disturbed by the lack of incentive for drivers to improve their skills. The death rate from vehicular accidents is too high and the injury rate is even worse. Most of the so-called "accidents" result from negligence or other operator error and are therefore preventable if drivers ...
