Re: Concealed Mag Carriers?

https://www.reloadwrap.com I was skeptical when I first saw it, but I've ended up quite liking it for carrying a Shield mag. Only thing I don't love is the exposure to pocket lint. Concealability can vary depending on the mag, the pocket, and how you run the strap. In my jeans, it's definitely inco...

Re: Cheap ($9.99) pelican style cases at Harbor Freight

These are super appealing to me for some reason, and I keep almost buying them before realizing they'd never get used. None of my handguns need that much protection in transport, and everything I've read says to never store firearms in these long-term because the foam will hold moisture.

Re: Biometric Lock

If you think you're making your vehicle a target by openly standing at the trunk and disarming, I suggest getting a lockbox for under your seat and disarming discreetly while inside the car. I would not consider leaving a loaded handgun unattended in a public place known to be frequented by children...

Re: First Rattler of the Season

I'm used to having to occasionally help a brown or garter out of the pool, but a couple days ago I glimpsed something crawling onto the coping with a vaguely copperhead pattern--and I spotted it from across the house. Turned out to be about 4' long, and this big boy didn't even have to slow down to ...

Re: WOW Laredo

I also don't get how simply talking results in sputum flying around. I guess if you're close enough to someone... Talking involves forcefully expelling air from the lungs. The moisture in that air carries the bad stuff. You get bigger droplets carrying further with coughs and sneezes, but there are...

Re: Santa Fe ISD Guardian Program Approved

...it is even a bigger problem when the school says they will use the same standards. That's how the Guardian program works. The districts get to decide how restrictive they want to be. Remember that the default state is for no one in the school to be carrying. Everyone wants to protect the kids, b...

You're not alone. This forum seems to enjoy intentionally misleading and/or deliberately vague thread titles.

Re: California Man Mysteriously Freed After Selling Illegal AR-15s

It's not illegal (in TX) to sell an unserialized firearm that you made as long as you are not in the business of selling firearms. That doesn't make it a good idea. Definitely an interesting development, though, if the classification of an AR lower as a firearm is modified. If that takes hold, we wi...

Might be able to accomplish similar by putting the upper in the freezer for a bit. Dissimilar metals expand differently.

Primers are not easy to chemically deactivate, and I certainly wouldn't trust an attempt to do so.

Huh. I've been active on various forums for multiple decades, and that's a new one to me. Learn something every day!
