Re: USAF pilots' ejection seats to have M4 variant & 120 rounds.

I heard a lot of the wheelguns issued to aircrew in Vietnam were in such bad shape they were worthless. For most of my tour in Vietnam, I was assigned to the 35TFW (Tac Fighter Wing - the "owner" of Phan Rang AB where we had three air combat wings plus a squadron of Australian B-58's) and...

He also says, with permission from the probation officer he was allowed to mail in his final 5 probation meetings, as he had to move back to Colorado Springs where h...

In the past, the NRA Convention has followed local laws. When the convention was in Houston in years past, people carried lawfully. Don't imagine it will change, now.

Re: Ruger LC9S - Beware!

n5wd, You posted: "Why are you blaming Ruger for a after-market products problems? Seems unreasonable." Read my post a bit more carefully. As I previously posted, the after market magazine is a RUGER OEM product, just like the pistol. I would think me unreasonable too if the magazine was ...

Re: Shotgun selection

So my daughter is in FFA and she comes home from school telling me about a shooting group that will be shooting sporting clays. I have no firsthand knowledge in this area. But it seems a good excuse to buy her a shotgun that she can learn with, and decide if she likes the sport.... Any help would b...

Re: Need help - our new employee got arrested a week ago

Arrested, or convicted? Are you under the federal 'drug free workplace' initiative? Do your terms of employment require the employee to reports arrests/convictions? Texas is an 'at will' employment state, so unless you have a contract with her in place, you can release her from employment for any r...

Re: Just wanted to share

I am seeing a lot of listings that do not include mineral rights. How does that typically work? If someone else owns the mineral rights, I'm assuming I would potentially need to give them access to get to those minerals (set up wells, do some digging, etc). How intrusive is this in general? I'm jus...

Re: Holiday Shopping: AmazonSmile & the NRA

And while the NRA is certainly a deserving charity, don't forget that there are others included in the program, that are also worthy. My meager .05% is directed to the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial Fund, Inc., for example.
