Re: Missing tourist submarine at Titanic wreck site


“ The Titan’s hull was constructed from two different materials: carbon fiber-reinforced plastic and titanium.”

Your kidding me?

It shows a computer monitor screwed into the carbon fiber hull.

Re: ATF Released New Proposed Pistol Brace Rules

I’m a member of the Indiana Gun Owners forum as well, and they of course have a thread or six on the ATF pistol brace rule.

One of the members, who I believe is a lawyer, did a summary of all (9) the lawsuits pertaining to the pistol brace rule. He also provides some legal definitions, to help ...

Re: England: the Royal Family





Has there ever been two people who say they want to be left alone but spend so much time and effort being noticed and drawing attention to themselves? If they hadn't gone to the press with this story...there wouldn't have been one. Clowns.

Re: Firefighter/EMT Wrist Watch suggestions

I was a volunteer firefighter EMT for a while, and in the Air Force before that.

For actual day-to-day work, I came to prefer an inexpensive plain face easy to read in the low light watch that if I smashed it on the edge of a door or something I wouldn’t cry about the loss. And if I got “ickum” on ...

Re: Democrats now want our Silencers

The bump stock rule was genius. It only affects an accessory, not any existing firearm, it headed off Congress from having to take up the issue due to public pressure and promulgate a law that would be much harder to overturn, and it’s provided a vehicle to bring some sorely needed limits to ...

Re: Traveling to states up north.

I believe the case that Howdy and srothstein are referring to is Revell vs Port Authority of New York and New Jersey .

You can read about it here: https://www.leagle.com/decision/infco20100322054

The point they’re making still holds, but some of the details are a little off.

Re: Is a club considered "deadly force"?

Re: Academy asking unnecessary questions


….

During my annual a few years ago my Dr said

"I'm supposed to ask you if you have any guns in your house, but, since this is Texas I just assume everyone does."

I replied.... "If I didn't, could you write me a prescription for one? And, would my insurance cover it?"

He thought that was ...

Re: Traffic stop in Houston

When I was stationed in Germany, intersections on rural highways that had regular traffic lights often had a special single lense traffic light a couple hundred meters or so in front of the intersection displaying “70”. If the “70” was green, It meant that as long as you were doing at least 70 km/h ...

Re: Federal District judge issues injuction against California's Handgun Roster

I like the info in the armed scholar, but the titles of their videos are over the tips of their skis usually.

If I recall correctly, this was simply a temporary injunction, which is a good thing but just means we won the first skirmish; long way to the end of the battle and the war. California will ...
