Re: Two Iraqis and a Guatemalan attempt to buy 4 M249 SAWs from DFW Gun Store
As much as I do not care for this interpretation, it is correct in my opinion. It is a long held understanding in our court system that the rights in the constitution are applicable to everyone unless specified otherwise. This is correct, IMO, based on the theory that all of our rights are granted t...

Just a reminder that March 8 is coming much sooner than May 56.

Re: Lakewood Church
It seems uncertain as of now whether she shot the 5-year-old that was with her, or whether the child was hit by fire from the off-duty officers. I have been wondering this exact question. I am not in any way condemning the officers involved, but I am pretty sure that the bullets that struck the chi...

Your probably already on a FBI extremism list.

Re: Can the USPS get any worse?
Be careful with the title of the thread. The USPS may see it and take it as a challenge.
But if it goes back to Blanco, I can pick it up for you and run it to Houston area when I visit my daughter (almost any weekend).

Re: Uvalde School shooting
One reason I cannot trust the report is that it was done by the DOJ. I do not trust the federal government very much in good times, and I especially do not trust them under this administration. A second major reason I cannot trust the report is that it was prepared by bureaucrats and lawyers. None o...

Re: Frustration at 30.06 signage
Hey, I understand.... And I agree the laws are quite confusing. I've been pouring over the ODFR presentation and honestly it has some contradictions. This is way past my training for sure. I might try and contact the DPS training department next week and get a clarification myself. I've been pourin...

Re: New Problem! M1A or M1 Carbine
I think it comes down to personal preference. My opinion is to get the M1A but I fell in love with the M14 when I was issued one in Marine Corps training. I still think it is the best main battle rifle designed yet. I have had two of the M1As since then and deeply regret selling them. At that price,...

Re: Is “Dixie” no longer PC?
They dropped Dixie from the name after the country music fans (and half the industry) condemned them for their public criticism of our country and president while in London. But chemist45 is right about the left condemning everything. They are after UT again because the song "The Eyes of Texas&...

Re: HIgh Tech South American gangs breaking into expensive homes
There have been some very interesting studies on what will deter a criminal. Visible signs of an alarm (especially the alarm junction box, but just a sign works) are high on the list, as are dogs. The funny thing is that what actually works best is something we all try to avoid - the nosy neighbor. ...

Re: Deputy Shot - Return 12 Rounds of Fire
The Force Science Institute has done some very interesting studies on the time it takes between recognizing a threat and actually shooting at it, plus how hard it it to change your mind once the decision to shoot has been made. If there is ever a question on why you shot someone after they "wer...

Re: Deputy Shot - Return 12 Rounds of Fire
Legal question. When he was shooting at the suspect as the suspect ran away if he had hit him in the back would this be a different story since the shooter was running away? Was there still a threat? Of course all of this is Monday morning quarterbacking. In the case of a police officer, they can u...
