But, my understanding is that thy cannot pull you over on Public road, I don't believe there are any f...

Re: HB 508 to senate committee

Will this Bill HB 508 allow a CHL holder to carry on federal property, like post-office and NASA ? If not can you explain this bill ?

Re: Gun dropped in Target - Galveston - and BANG

Have any heard of a revolver that was not cocked able to release the hammer and discharge? All the old revolvers would fire if you dropped it on the un-cocked hammer. That is why Ruger's transfer bar safety was such a big innovation in their New Model Single Actions. It is also why the standard saf...

Re: Gun dropped in Target - Galveston - and BANG

UPDATE !

Re: Gun dropped in Target - Galveston - and BANG

The way the story reads, and my understanding, it was indeed in the holster, and it fell to the ground, holster and gun. And in this only makes sense the hammer hit the ground muzzle up.. The personal story was, the holster and gun hit the ground.. :headscratch IF this is the case, he is one lucky m...

Re: Gun dropped in Target - Galveston - and BANG

There was a similar incident with a .380 in DFW a few years back that involved an elderly gentleman in a church. The "story" was that the gun discharged when it hit the floor. IIRC, subsequent investigation revealed the bullet entered through the top of his foot. I noticed the article abo...
