Re: [Pre-paid legal service] vs CHL Protection Plan

...I don't mean to be argumentative but I don't know where you get your figures. I believe Texas has over 1 million CHL holders.

Re: Ammo Feed Problem with New Glock 17

Have you had anyone else shoot the gun? When Glocks first became available I wondered why anyone would buy such an ugly looking machine. It took a while and I finally caved and shot one. Before long they became my favored weapon because of the reliability. In fact I traded away two Kimbers because ...

Re: [Pre-paid legal service] vs CHL Protection Plan

Any program that promises to provide legal services directly creates a conflict of interest -- my interest will be to have the most competent, most thorough legal defense possible whereas their interest will be ...

Re: Wife with weak hands

I second the idea of not trying to teach one's significant other. Also, in many respects Cornered Cat is a great website for guys, too. Taking the test with an automatic to preserve the option of carrying an auto is one thing, but IMO you need to be able to run the gun if you're going to carry it --...

It's a sad situation, there's a cigar forum that I'm on where this was posted, before the news story was posted, the poster is one of the witnesses, he and his buddies walked out of the rink and saw the two brothers on the ground, the one on top of the other. Paramedics said the back of his head wa...
