I used to work for a warden who, during his annual training class on employee standards of conduct, said there are two ways to do wrong: mistakes of the head, and mistakes of the heart. Anyone can have a mistake of the head, he said, and unless it's something terribly egregious, it can probably be f...

Ah, the infamous "arrested for resisting arrest" charge. "So, officer, why was the defendant being arrested?" "For resisting arrest." "What arrest was it that he was resisting?" "Being arrested." "For what? "Resisting arrest." Repeat a...

Just curious, what violation of the Traffic Code would be cited for a wheelie? Failure to maintain control? That one would be pretty much countered by the fact that you were in full control. What about brakies? It takes full control to put the rear tire in the air without crashing, so doing it succe...

I could not support a bill that required a license to open carry. Unlicensed, untrained people can openly carry loaded long guns. Unlicensed, untrained people can carry concealed handguns in their cars. What compelling state interest would require those very same people to be licensed before they co...

We are headed to San Diego next April for a submarine crew reunion. Did you know that if you are in downtown El Paso and you want to go to the beach it is faster to drive to San Diego than Corpus Christi? Anygunanywhere I remember driving from Corpus Christi to Los Angeles on a family trip in high ...

While I want to see it pass, I do not see it passing this time around, especially without the support of the TSRA. IMHO, we need to take small reasonable steps until all of chapter 46 is removed. This is not the correct tactical time to fight for this bill. It may not be a bad strategic move, as it...

Well, there's always Hinchinbrook Island in Prince William Sound, Alaska:





Supposedly they have the highest concentration of bears per square mile.

40 HP chainsaw? Long range (1-1/2 gallon tank)?

Geeze, that should be good for about 18 miles of destruction!

Oh, except the chainsaw teeth are pointing the wrong way.

why would you remove the firing pin? For the children. Irresponsible owners of semi-fully-automatic assault weapon rifle carbines are a danger to children, or haven't you heard? When one of those semi-fully-automatic assault weapon rifle carbines is left lying around on the ground in a residential ...

I haven't seen anyone trip the Godwin threshold. No one in the discussion has called other participants Nazis.

Good article. On the Burress incident, I was watching SportsCenter this week, and they combined the news with a rebroadcast of portions of a program they did a couple of years ago about pro athletes and guns. Karl Malone, reprising his "I'm the NRA" ad campaign, was shown shooting a rifle ...

Cowtown Cop has a good article today about open carry from his perspective.

OpenCarry.org, a Virginia-based organization.... I didn't realize that Virginia-based organizations were unwelcome in Texas. Don't you happen to sit on the Board of Directors of a Virginia-based organization? ;-) My point is that "organizations" based in other states that are not knowledg...

A verbal notice isn't worth the paper it's written on.
