Sign Changes - why?

My pet store is next to a Sprouts Farmer's Market. Sprouts used to have the light color on clear glass 30.06, 07, & 05 signs. They were on the sliding entrance doors where they could not be read when the doors were open. It was what I considered barely meeting the TPC requirement for contrasting...

Re: Hawaii bill restricts carry locations

You are correct, C--Dub. Besides Honolulu, the next largest city is Hilo on the "Big Island" I spent part of my childhood on Oahu (before it was a State - we sang the Hawaiian National Anthem in Hawaiian every morning in class) and have been back to the other islands several times since. M...

PA Man Not Stripped of Gun Rights

I thought this case was interesting not necessarily for its outcome but for one of the dissenting opinions outlined near the end of this article https://www.theepochtimes.com/man-convicted-of-non-violent-crime-cannot-be-stripped-of-gun-rights-appeals-court-rules_5318108.html?utm_source=Morningbrief&...

Re: Hawaii bill restricts carry locations

If ever there were a case study in politicians going to every possible extreme to impose their will, Hawaii and New Jersey regarding guns are the poster children. The Pols obviously have spent a lot of time, weaving their way around the situation. The $1,000 price tag for "compliance" shou...

Re: Haiti - probably don’t want to visit

I believe it is a double edged sword. Typically the vigilante groups become a type of gang themselves and start deciding to punish people for what the vigilante group decides is crime. It could be something as simple as spreading butter on the wrong kind of bread. I have to admit though, with the r...

Re: Texas AG Ken Paxton impeachment

i and several others in my local group have been in touch with Ben Bumgartner, our House rep who voted in favor of the impeachment. I called his office along with scores of others, asking for him to vote against impeachment. He didn't. And that wasn't surprising. For the recent election where Rep Bu...

Re: Fugitive Shot By Police Friday In Irving

[ I am struggling, wondering how using my card to simply make purchases is more of a threat to my privacy than using the same card to get cash. Somehow I don't feel threatened by someone knowing I bought gas, groceries or a soda at the convenience store. Have you also stopped using cell phones? The...

Re: Fugitive Shot By Police Friday In Irving

[I don't do ATM's anymore. Too many stories of folks being robbed or followed to be robbed somewhere else. I rarely even carry cash these days. Just about anywhere I shop will take a debit card. There are many types of dangers in our society today. One of them is clearly a physical danger that can ...

Re: SHOOTING Allen Outlet Mall Multiple Victims

It is telling how quick the media quit covering this story. Maybe the shooters race created the wrong narrative? :iagree: The white supremacist writings angle was good for a week of the news cycle - IF - the guy had not had a Hispanic sounding name. If it has been Joe O'Leary, we would be getting t...

Re: Militancy

Reminds me of the guy in a road rage incident. He had an NRA sticker on his back window. His antagonist called the police, saying he had brandished his weapon and was waving it around. The guy in fact had a firearm in his vehicle but he had never exposed it in any manner. The other driver just made...

Re: Militancy

Did she have a mask on? Lol!! My wife listens to the MSM national news. If you do that, guns are bad. Assault weapons are the worst. We need to take all the guns away from everyone, if we did, everything would be lovely. So blame the MSM. They have head it so long that it is the gospel truth. The i...

Friday is my cycle (spinning) class day at the gym. I have special shoes which "click into" the pedals on the studio stationary bikes. I don't want to wear them to walk more than necessary because they have a plastic cleat on the bottom so I carry them into the gym in a small black canvass...

Re: Tough to be a conservative in America today

I believe that it has been tough to be anything but a Democrat for decades. The Democrat party play book starts with "play nice with us or will mess you up." We have seen a parade of Supreme Court justice nominees from Bork forward. The trashing of "W" was epic and the attacks on...

Re: War with Russia

I recorded Tucker Carlson on Thursday night and finally watched that recording last night. He claims that U.S. troops are in Ukraine fighting directly against Russian troops. If this is true, I can see no way that body bags are not going to come out of it for U.S. soldiers. How will that be explaine...

Re: "Felony" sign

Your decision to test that is up to you. I prefer to think of it as weighing the risks. The type of gathering that I was attending has been the target of violent confrontations. Given the recent school shooting in TN, which I believe was ideologically motivated, there is no reason to assume that I ...
