Prayers for my wife

Long story-short version: My wife has struggled with back issues for years. She has had 2 spinal fusions, both of which helped for a while. 2 years ago, she started having issues again. she didn't want to have another major surgery so we spoke to our family doctor (also a friend) and he set an appoi...

Re: NY Homeowner Charged With Felony, Home Seized After Killing 2 in Home Invasion

Sounds pretty typical for NY. They don't care about anyone's rights. Hope Mr. Stolarczyk beats the charges and sues the city for every dime they have

Re: Needing a New Gun Safe

I had a Voultek with biometric lock and decided to sell it a few years ago. Being in the A/C business I would develop cuts and scars on my fingers. The Biometrics would not unlock due to the changes. As long as I had no cuts, it worked fine but if a cut would scar over, I would have to reset it.

Re: Can the government take your guns in an emergency?

You guys are talking about rules and laws . Unfortunately our current government doesn't seem to be bothered about such trivial things. If he tries to get my guns, I am going to have a Viking funeral. I am sure I will lose in the long run, but there will be lots of bodies of my enemies to bury at m...

Re: WSJ: Disaster preparedness on the increase

I have been wondering something, and would like to get comments on the following scenario: People have sometimes constructed a "safe room" against tornados. If their house took a direct hit from a tornado, the rest of the house could collapse upon the safe room. How would the occupants al...

Re: WSJ: Disaster preparedness on the increase

My wife is terrified by storms. Mostly because she is so dependent on oxygen and can't get away quickly if I am not home. Several years ago, we remodeled our home and added a large master closet. We had 6" reinforced concrete poured for walls and ceiling. We also had a 12x14 storm shelter built...

We thought you might be slipping a .308 Gunsite Scout Rifle into your bike's saddlebags just for a little reach-out-and-touch-someone extra assurance.

We went Thursday and entered through the Stockman's gate. No one there to wand and only 2 for ticket collection. No questions asked.

Re: Dallas County Hosting Gun Buy Back

When DeSoto did this a couple of years back, I sold them a broken single shot bolt action .22 LR for a $100 Walmart gift card. I thought I did pretty good. You did great. I am just curious so they collect any personal information from you? It's been a while but I do not believe so. From what I can ...

Re: Dallas County Hosting Gun Buy Back

I have 2 guns that didn't cost me anything because they were gifts from my dad when I was about 10-11 years old. One is a single shot shotgun and the other a single shot 22. Beyond those 2, the rest of my firearms, like most of those here, cost well above the $100.00 buy back they are paying. I may ...

Re: Need to ID a snake? Send a pic to the # listed below.

There is a Facebook page (yeah, I know) called Texas Snake Identification. The admins are herpetologists and very knowledgeable about snakes in Texas. You post a picture along with the location and they usually reply within an hour.

Re: Pistol mounted optics questions

I have a Vortex Strikefire 2 on my AR. It has a switch that goes to either red or green. I found that I like the red better during bright daylight and the green actually works better for me at low light. As of yet, I don't have anything other than iron sights on my pistols
