Will all the valid, non-slavery reasons behind the south's secession be erased... My reading of history suggests the Deep South cotton states seceded mainly over slavery... they pretty much said so in their convention debate records. Border states like Tennessee and Virginia seceded later, and prob...

The one I carry most often is the Ruger SP101 DAO .357 snub.

https://www.wnd.com/2020/05/face-masks-social-distancing-forever-top-governor-makes-suggestion/ Wear masks forever if no vaccine for Covid. This is why they have been using the term "the new normal". They want us to get used to this idea. Are burkas next? Dunno, do burkas slow down coronavirus? In ...

W/o 2nd 1st goes away I think was the jest. Agreed. But Kent State is a bad example to discuss First Amendment issues, too. The assemblies were not peaceful. There had been arson, looting, and violence. It was a disaster waiting to happen. That's why it's a better example for private citizens on ho...

If anyone ever tells you "Only the government should have guns", ask them to describe what the government did with guns at Kent State University on May 4, 1970. Ask them if they'd be okay with history repeating itself. Ask them if they want to rewrite the Second Amendment would they also rewrite th...

Having acquired whiskers, beeswax, and almond oil, I am fixing to manufacture and try out some homemade moustache wax.

I hope I still have a need for it when things return to normal. Right now I am unshaven at home under a special pandemic dispensation.

I'm not concerned about the virus; I'm more concerned about shortages caused by panic, so I laid in another 5-gal pail of dried goods. On that subject, my neighborhood HEB grocery store in Cypress was cleaned out of drinking water as of last night. I don't know if it's from folks stocking up or the...

So, for the last two weeks I have flown without a firearm because of anticipated rushes to the airports, an unfamiliar airline, and out of state travel. Last week I flew American from IAH to Amarillo, and then from IAH to Atlanta. No issues taking my carryon bag through security. This week I flew to...

Here is the best info I’ve found, he’s on the radio weekends. http://www.randylemmon.com/lawns/fertilize.html Another question..... what do you guys think of fescue as a filler for bald patches? Fescue is green, but that aside, it is thin bladed compared to San Augustine. It also does well the n wi...

St. Augustine isn't my favorite turf. It requires relatively more water and more risk of disease. But it endures shade better than the thinner bladed grasses. How much shade do you have? I once replaced a backyard of San Augustine with bermuda because there was no shade, and I couldn't put enough wa...

Houston, without the charm.

Interested in pairing up a lever action rifle and revolver in same caliber. Have the lever rifle selected, need recommendations on good .357 Magnum revolvers, barrel length 3.5 to 5 inches. If I wasn't going to conceal the revolver, and if I wanted it to digest the very same .357 magnum rounds as t...

That's very close to the scenario that made me invest in a 6.8spc AR... Went out to the farm with my .45-70 to help my dad out and shoot a pig or two... Seeing several dozen come across the fence line when you've only 4+1 in the rifle and 6 .44 Mag in a revolver isn't a great feeling. It's much bet...

I've been thinking about this a little. My thoughts are that we need to stop saying that we're "arming teachers." We need to say that we are allowing teachers to be armed or carry concealed if they want and meet the requirements of the school district or whatever, but I think we need to stop saying...
