Scooter's ready to rock!

What Venus said. Here's a link to the story at CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/americas/11/11/shot.in.head.ap/index.html She was shot with a .32, and not one of the six shots penetrated her skull. It may be a minor miracle, but we can also take away a lesson about stopping power. If you need to d...

Pondering...

And seeking knowledgeable contribution on this issue.

When is a hospital a "hospital," and when is it a school? I can't find any correlation in the literature.

txinvestigator: are absolutely sure your interpretation is correct?

Haven't been, but wish I could.

Really wish I could.

But my checkbook anchored me firmly at home....

Dr. Watson rules!

Better safe than sorry.

Doh! I've given in to the dark side! Time to work on the new username... :party: Dude! That's gotta be the best Commander-sized model available for the money. Congratulations. Break it in with a few hundred rounds of good-quality FMJ, cleaning and oiling it very thoroughly every 50 or 75 rounds wit...

Dustin, you could always follow kw5kw's lead, but just drop your cell phone into your holster if you leave the gun the car. If someone wonders, ask incredulously if they haven't been keeping up with the latest fashion trends out of New York. (A small slam at New York's non-NRA-friendly mayor... :rol...

I agree with 2D that this is one of those areas that needs clarification. Context may be everything on this one...although a better-written sign might help matters...geez, it's a large university, after all. Being a Houstonian, I'm aware of three facilities that might house this sign. One is the Uni...

Ditto on the title. I hope that wasn't the headline that accompanied any newspaper story. To Roger's point, the story said that "Juan" was vacuuming his truck. That's one of those things that, if you do choose to do it in public, you'd better understand that you go into it putting yourself...

Well, fiddlesticks. Air conditioner fritzed and is gonna cost me just over $2,500 to fix, and even though it's nearing Thanksgiving and, hopefully, cooling down, I can't put that off. That's the equivalent of a pretty sweet custom 1911. :mad5 That'll put a crimp in then "new handgun" shopp...

Welcome aboard, Rusty.

CALIX: I spent 10 years in California, then hurried back to to Texas...where firearm shopping is a much friendlier proposition.

I haven't been getting back in here like I should to say...

WELCOME!

To hydrashok, TxRVer, and CALIX.

(Psst. Ya'll, CALIX may be an up and coming 1911 convert. )

Yeah, I've been collecting and counting all my spare change to see what I can afford to buy for myself this Christmas.

Welcome! Buy a good gun; get your CHL. Taking a basic handgun class is a great idea. There is no single firearm that is best for every need. I predict once you dive in and become comfortable with safe handling and effective shooting, you'll buy at least one more firearm. I have this horrific fear of...
