I got mine through a drug store about 3 decades ago when I was making black powder model rockets. It used to quite common on farms. It was also rumored to being slipped to soldiers in boot camp to reduce libido. I never knew it that was true.
I don't know if the rumor was true or not, but I ...

Re: State Fair of Texas 2025
Wonder if those are numbers are unique visitors or does it just count who entered daily regardless if they went once or every day?
I'm betting daily numbers regardless if they had visited previously this year. I can't think of how they would track unique visitors without some sort of badge or ...

Mom put on Child Abuse Registry for letting 13 yo babysit.
I babysat a 9 month old and a 2 year old when I was 10yo. Geez.
That is crazy. By the time I was ten, I was not only watching my ...

Re: Can the USPS get any worse?
This is at least partly based on the authority of the judge to issue junctions. As per a recent SCOTUS decision, district court judges cannot issue blanket injunctions. They can issue injunctions just for the parties who sued, either individually or as members of a class if a class action suit is ...

Re: Walking stick or walking cane?
Are the ones with hidden swords legal for LTC folks?
While I gather that this question was somewhat tongue-in-cheek, the answer is "sort of". Based on a quick review of chapter 46, all swords (I saw nothing to differentiate the hidden from visible swords) are "location restricted knives". The ...

Re: State Fair of Texas 2025
Two years later, still no one can determine if the shooter had an LTC. Some crack investigative reporting. Seems like that would have come out during the trial.
I'm 99.9% sure he didn't.
I'm sure he didn't either. I was more so curious than anything. But the fact that the media fails to ...

Re: Glock 19 Gen 5 COA
I bought a Glock 19 Gen 5 with the cut for optics, then bought a green dot Holosun sight. This was my first try with optics on a pistol. I am impressed. My groups tightened up considerably with the optic site over other pistols (including Glocks) without them.

She ran in the special election to fill her mother's unexpired term, and was replaced in the regular election by Sylvester Turner. She is working as the campaign manager for one of the candidates to replace Turner.

Re: Today in Trump's 2nd term as President
This bill sets up a court case to do away with the NFA completely, thanks to the Senate Parliamentarian. The Byrd rule says that only things dealing with a tax or spending may be handled by reconciliation (this makes sense because you are trying to reconcile the budget). The original House passed ...

Re: CJ Grisham is at it again
Also while this spectacle was going on the East Side of the Courthouse behind the scenes the Chief Deputy contacted TCOLE and they said he is NOT qualified as what a retired (LEO) LEOSA is. Thus he was denied entry with a firearm.
While I may not like him and may agree that he is not a retired ...

Re: 2025 TX Legislative Session
The bad part that a great majority of Texans should be angry about is the fact that the representatives of the government of Texas are trying to suppress speech they don't agree with or hurts their little feelings.
