Re: Wish List
Honestly, I think Texas has pretty solid gun laws. I would like it if Texas could lead the way in the fight for campus carry and show the nation that it will not lead to crazy shootouts like the opponents believe. Other than that, I want our legislators to leave firearms alone and go work on more im...

Re: Life In Danger Question
Tough to tell. A lot of my actions would probably depend on the circumstances and surroundings. If possible, I'd probably alter my course and walk in a different direction to avoid any potential contact altogether (and if he alters his path accordingly, you know he's up to no good). That would of co...

Re: Concealed handgun story from Missouri
My heart rate escalated just reading that. What a brave and well-prepared dude! If anybody questions the reasons for carrying...there is exhibit A. It also brings up other valid sub-points, such as reinforcing the need to carry with one in the chamber. I can't imagine being in that situation with a ...

Re: Bullet From Father's Gun Hits Daughter
I always hate the wording in articles like this - "cleaning his gun in the living room when it discharged one round." The fault is always shifted to the gun. IT discharged a round. Next time I get pulled over for speeding I'm going to tell the officer that my car was going 80mph, not me. G...

Dang, I did not know that. Any particular reason why? Easy access to weapons?

Re: To Chamber or not to Chamber?
I really hope the chance of an AD is lower than 1%. That would imply that there is an AD approximately once every 100 instances of carrying, so about 3-4 per year . I understand your argument, though - that carrying with one in the chamber inherently makes your chance of an AD go over 0%, but I thin...

Re: Brief scare on the road
I used to work in the transportation industry, so as a habit I never get on other vehicles' bumpers at an intersection. But there were cars pulling up to the red light in the lanes to my left and right. If they were clear, I'd have gone around and been on my way. But I was blocked in. The presence o...

Re: Brief scare on the road
Mine was a class C (public intoxication), which doesn't disqualify an applicant. I didn't have to wait 5 years, I just had to provide documentation indicating the disposition of my case. I believe class A and B misdemeanors must be at least 5 years prior. Somebody more knowledgeable can correct me i...

Brief scare on the road
Yesterday evening I was on my way home from work on a feeder road of Beltway 8 when I approached a red light. I came to a stop behind a mid-90s Cadillac with bass hitting hard enough to rattle MY car. All of a sudden, the front driver and passenger doors opened at the same time and out jumped two ge...

Re: Ruger informal poll
No mechanical problems whatsoever for my SR9. Only issue at all was the white part of the front sight falling off. It's been a great pistol so far.

Re: Almost had to draw last night
Thanks for sharing your experience. Question: Could you tell if the aggresor was high? Was his speech slurred and incoherent, or was he articulate and calculated? Did me move in an odd way or did he seem to be in control? If he was doped up, then there isn't much communication that will work. He mig...
