Re: Florida road rager takes out motorcyclists

TexasFlash- Have you noticed any change in the way people drive around you now that you open carry? Ever since I started open carrying on the bike, I haven't had one person purposefully try to push me out of my lane, tailgate me, or any of the other number of things that cagers like to do to us bik...

Re: Hand-held flashlight?

I carry a mini LED streamlight. It does not have the barrel switch or strobe function, but it only takes a single AAA battery and is very bright for its size. Also comes with a pocket clip which is handy. Right around $30 or $35 I believe.

EDIT: My light is a Streamlight Microstream

Re: Explain This ..

My wife and I applied on the same day last September, one after the other. I had my license in hand about 3 weeks before hers came in. No idea why.

Re: We all know where we can't carry our firearms, but ...

I keep one spare mag in a nylon tool pouch on my belt. I've forgotten about it in the few times I've had to disarm. No problems.

I don't know of any rule or regulation prohibiting it, except maybe on federal property.

Re: First time seeing obvious "printer"

Nice that you spotted someone carrying. I have yet to see that myself. Most days when I go out in town, I have on a polo or a button up shirt, helps break up any outline. I've ventured out a few times with just a T-shirt (only ones that are "roomy"), and I a bit more aware of things around...

Re: CNMI: Fed Judge rules handgun ban unconstitutional

I used to be stationed just south of the CNMI (which includes Saipan, Rota, and Tinian), in Guam years ago. I didn't bring any of my guns over since I didn't feel like dealing with the paperwork and registration. That, and we were only there three years. Loved every minute of it though. The gun laws...

Re: Microsoft Hijacking

I got a bunch of pop-ups about 10 on our laptop too. I kept declining them. My searching led me to remove some of the windows 7 updates and set them to never re-install, and now the popups are gone and will stay gone.

Re: Best Way to Stretch a Holster

I used the bag that my Triple T came in. Let it set for a few hours and it was good to go. Once the holster "lets go" of your gun when you attempt to pull it, it's ready.

Loading up some dummy/training rounds (aka, snap caps) and practicing drawing will also help loosen it up.
