Re: NH man arrested for firing gun to catch burglar

Quite a different outcome from the man who did the same in the west university area of houston. Not all states recognize an individuals right to use deadly force to protect property. :txflag: IMO, such force would not only would protect property, but also stop/reduce future crime (although not a ju...

Re: Russians resurrect 30,000-year-old frozen flower

How about the downside...
What if we resurrect something that we've lost immunity to?

Interesting, for sure.

Re: Can A Landlord Do This?

I don't understand why so many gun owners are willing to concede their right to bear arms under a theoretical concept of property rights that doesn't exist in America. ....a matter of political compromise necessary to get concealed carry passed. You asked... then you answered. It's a valid question...

Re: Pros and cons of SA and DA

"Better" is a relative term. I can make a good case for either one :) As with everything, its a matter of how you train, and what your individual mind is comfortable with. .......shoot everything you can get your hands on, and go with the one that you fall in love with. You can train arou...

Re: $25 membership with free baseball cap

Even better... this one gets you a $25 Bass Pro gift card.
Money beats hat most days, IMO. Good for renewals too.

Re: Surrendered weapon after Motor Vehicle Accident

Ash... Did it ever occur to you that sometimes people omit (accidentally or on purpose) relevant facts from online posts. Facts that may not seem relevant to the writer. When people here say "unless some fact is not known" they are referring specifically to the fact that all they have been...

Re: NH man arrested for firing gun to catch burglar

I'm gonna wager that the public outcry will be sufficient to see the charges dismissed.
The GG will pay in legal fees, but I'm betting the charges are dropped within the week.
