Re: Academy asking unnecessary questions

Wow, that's pretty shocking. This was the manager, not just some employee working behind the counter. I hope this was just some kind of one-off incident, and not a new standard practice there. If it is, I'm done with Academy, and will do everything I can to make this go viral.

Re: Traffic stop in Houston

As a police officer, I can tell you that the law on when it is illegal to run a yellow light is very confusing. Our law is written to say that when a light is green, it means you have permission to enter the intersection when it is safe. If the light is yellow, the permission is removed. If the lig...

Re: Traffic stop in Houston

Well, I've "been told" by a police officer that if a light is yellow when you enter the intersection, you're okay. :anamatedbanana

Re: Traffic stop in Houston

I was stopped once for running an "orange" light. I found that being polite to the police officer, letting him know I was armed, and handing him my LTC, went a long way to me just getting a warning. I assume you mean a yellow light. Interesting, I didn't know going through a yellow light ...

Re: Breakfast in the Hill Country NW of San Antonio?

I have no idea. All I know is that for me, it has to have GOOD traditional breakfast grub - bacon and eggs, omelets, hashbrowns, biscuits and gravy, etc. None of this flippity-dippity yuppie stuff.....

Re: Today in Trump's 1st term as President

Yeah, you can tell they're fake. Look at the difference in the clothes, etc. between the cops in the 2nd and third pictures. This AI is really getting out of control. People can use it to do anything against somebody else. I wonder if eventually we'll have laws against "AI abuse." There ar...

Re: Breakfast in the Hill Country NW of San Antonio?

Heh, these discussions can go on forever. What's OK for one person is too far for another, and then vice-versa. For me, Bulverde means slogging up 1604 and back, which really takes the fun out of it. Then for those who live closer to the Bulverde area, Kerrville is a stretch. I'd be fine with an ea...

Re: Tips for Shooting a Snub Nose Revolver

Good video. Don't underestimate how difficult it can be to shoot one of those little guys. They're OK if you can take your time, aim, maybe rest on a tabletop or something, but for a sudden snap-shooting, it can be hard to hit the side of a barn with a 1 1/2 inch barrel if you don't get in some prac...

Re: Joe Xiden AKA Brandon

So exasperating. Again and again, we hear of "bombshell" discoveries and reports - like this one of extensive bank records that show Biden getting huge amounts of money from the CCP - and then nothing is said or done, it just fades away.

Re: Help needed - Large Gun Safe on Laminate Flooring OK or Not?

We have porcelain tile flooring throughout our house. We had an issue with a metal filing cabinet that, over a couple of years, developed some rust underneath the metal bottom where I guess moisture collected in minute amounts. That left some rust stains on the tile. Fortunately we were able to remo...

These are in Kerrville, not Comfort. There's no good breakfast in Comfort.
