Re: Houston Mayor calls for sensible gun restrictions

I'd have to see evidence of that before I'd believe it. Why would a criminal go to expense and trouble to be able to manufacture a 3D weapon when one can be stolen or purchased in the criminal world so easily. Doesn't make sense nor have the slightest semblance of truth, but given it's Sylvester Tu...

Re: Minimum Caliber for Feral Hogs

I have a similar situation, although in my case I do want to recover some meat. I use a 300 Blackout with a suppressor but I'm NOT using subsonic ammo. It keeps the noise down sufficiently that the neighbor says he never hears it even when I'm shooting at 3:00AM. He's about a quarter mile away. If y...

Re: debit card / credit card

Not directly related to the primary issue of this thread, but when my Spousal Unit and I travel, we carry one or two "common" credit cards that we plan to use for most purchases. We each also carry a separate, unique card that the other doesn't carry. If a wallet gets stolen and we have to...

Re: N.Y., pass the well regulated militia act

Hey, I actually went to Vietnam so I think I'm as qualified as the author. However, I don't think I'll join his militia. Instead my buddies and I will form our own — thank you very much. Rather than meeting for calisthenics every Saturday at six Ayem, we'll meet once a month at ten at the shooting r...

Re: Proposals to bring down gas prices

Slowing down some can save money. However, it's a different amount for each vehicle. Making a set max speed of 55 mph is just useless. Slowing down definitely reduces overall gas consumption. I was in the DC area in 1973 during the first Arab oil embargo. A local TV station rented a car and drove f...

Re: LTC and DL rewewal

The last time I renewed my DL, which was a few years ago, I went to the local office and the wait time was essentially "You ain't gonna get seen today!" I figured out that they allocate a certain number of reservations each day. You have to get logged in as soon as the open at 8AM, and go ...

Re: I did that. Let's go Brandon 2022

Prices have indeed increased in the past several decades. Then again, if I recall correctly, my monthly pay when I joined the army as a PVT E-1 was $98 and change before any taxes. After the army I went to college on the GI Bill and got an engineering degree. My first job, which started in 1977, pai...

Re: Suppressor build success

Today I received a letter from BATFE. Actually, I may have received it a few days ago. I found it on my front porch this afternoon. It came FedEx Ground and I guess they just dropped it on my porch. It was a Warning Notice saying that I'd purchased items from Diversified Machine which have been iden...

I mean, I didn't mention that because it's such a common side effect. Nothing to see here… :drool:
