Urgent read! HB 149

Last week I was on vacation in rural Virginia visiting one of my daughter's families and while riding over the Potomac near Harper's Ferry noticed a HUGE new DHS prison camp that had been built in the last two years since I had been that way. This camp was in a very rural area probably between 75 an...

US Senate S.843 - Contact our senators

Noticed there is still little or no ammo on the shelves? Wonder why? DHS is buying it all. They are in the process of buying another 3/4 of a billion rounds. WHY? BECAUSE THEY CAN. What are YOUR elected officials doing about it. NOTHING. Well, one of them is. Sen. Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma has sponsore...

Re: Need 22lr Target Pistol Advice

Which pistol you choose should reflect the purpose. I carry a Bersa Plus 380 15+1. I own a Firestorm (Bersa) 22LR which has exactly the same size/weight/shape and feel and practice drawing, shooting from different positions and such with the 22LR because of the cost of ammo. I have a Ruger 22/45 MKI...

in the automobile?

I have been a permit holder for awhile. It is my understanding that the law has changed a bit regarding being pulled over and needing to inform the leo. Is this true? What if I am a passenger? If I am carrying as a passenger, do I need to say anything? I find the Texas state website a bit difficult ...

Re: Just curious, does anyone here have a NSA CHL?

Speaking of qualifying oddities, why no .22LR, .22WMR, .32ACP semi-automatics allowed? Concealed carry means not everyone will want to have their britches pulled down with a 1911 hehe. Some folks just don't feel that anything more than a 16 oz. pistol is a carry weapon. I know there are combat advan...

Re: ammo on sale

I am up in the Shenandoah valley (Harrisonburg) in Virginia and took a quick look at the ammo prices at the Walmart there. MUCH higher than my local San Antonio Wallys. They only had a few boxes of .40 S&W and these were all over $25 for 50 and NO .32 acp or 380 acp. .22LR was about $11 for a bo...

Taurus MDL 84522SS

I was looking at the Taurus website under their new for 2010 models and saw the 84522SS... essentially a .45 but you can swap the barrel/slide and magazine and make it into a .22 LR. Sounds pretty much perfect as you can practice with inexpensive ammo on a powerful carry gun. Haven't seen this model...
