Re: Smoking a brisket...

There are "hot" debates going on about hot smoking vs. normal smoking of a brisket (smoking it at 275-325ish vs the normal 225). The first brisket I ever cooked a few weeks ago I was having issues with temp control in my smoker so it ended up being 275 instead of the lower 225. It turned o...

Re: Zimmerman Jury Selected Opening Statements 6/24

Hung jury does seem like the most likely outcome.

Re: Zimmerman Jury Selected Opening Statements 6/24

This doesn't seem like a good thing... All woman jury. What do you guys think? Its an excellent jury for the defense. On the primary jury you have: *one person who used this as a story to keep her kids home after dark. *a former CHLer (yea they're going to convict) *one who has a husband with firea...

Re: Okla. Officer Shoots, Kill Man Holding Child Hostage

Excellent shot. I wonder where he landed the shot though if the BG was holding the child hostage? Headshot maybe? I hope the child is ok and not mentally scarred by all this. side note: regarding the silly "huge purchases of ammo" comment above, the large purchases of ammo were all for FED...

Re: San Antonio: 52 y.o. man kills 28 y.o. bat-wielding vand

You already know who they are. Why step out and get into it with them? Say goodbye to retirement funds. Sounds like a justified use of lethal force but just a whole lot of stupidity all around.

I smoked a pork shoulder Saturday to serve the family on Sunday, and then Sunday also smoked some ABTs (Atomic Buffalo T u r d s , thats really what they're called) and smoked baked beans. Plenty of beer and for dessert some home made vanilla limoncello. All the food was a big hit. My greatest joys ...

Re: Is this sign legally posted?

Which is a Class A misdemeanor with up to a year in jail and the loss of your CHL. Everybody has to make his or her own decision but that's a fireball I'd rather not play with. I wish they would add to the law about posting the 30.06. This should be added....Sign must be posted at any and all publi...

Re: Man acquitted of murdering escort

I don't understand how there could have been a valid "contract for services" that was violated. At least civilly (maybe legally too?) a contract of any kind for something that is on its face illegal (prostitution) is invalid. I mean, its been a few years since I took business law but I do ...

Re: police return fire, kill suspect (that was in custody)

In your scenario Or he shot the window out and ran away, and then was shot in the back. officers would hear the gun fire and then see a fleeing armed felony suspect. That also would fall within the law and policy of most departments as well because a person that just fired a gun, escaped from custo...
