Re: New Instructor Certs

Update from my foxhole, all three certs arrived via email a little after 1500 today, so I guess just under two weeks following submission of the on-line test is not too bad. I am by nature impatient. good until 31 Dec 2027. I will be happy if I am still instructing past age 77.

Re: State Fair of Texas 2025

Tried to get this fixed in the 2025 Legislature, but the big money dudes from the Houston livestock show and some others tried to get additional "gun free zones" designated in exchange for the State Fair. Need more "real" gun friendly legislators in the State Senate.

Re: Can the USPS get any worse?

NOT EVEN WITH ENVELOPES! I mailed a check to a scholarship recipient for a program I work with on Wednesday June 5. I did NOT put it out at the house or drop it in the drive through box at the post office. I took it in and handed it to the clerk. As of yesterday (no mail today), 18 June, it has not ...

Re: Kamala Harris- morns deaths of terrorists in hostage rescue

Dems and Hamas go together. Isn't it obvious when she is not backing the ONLY democratically elected government in the Middle East.

Re: Colion Noir Presents: Jill Biden Babbling

And now I read that she (and her entire Secret Service entourage) will be attending Hunter's trial. HMMMM, Joe visits with the prosecution's key witness days before the beginning of the trial and Jill (and Secret Service) attend the trial???????

Re: NRA Annual Meeting 2024 in Dallas

Report from the TSRA Executive Director was that as of the end of the show, TSRA had signed up a total of 143 new members in various membership categories. I would expect a few more to trickle in from folks who took literature, but did not sign up at the show.

Wife and I will be back next time it ...

Re: Seeking Holosun Advice

I have the Holosun 407 x2 on my 48. I went with the Green. Love it. As for mags, I have started using the PSA MicroDagger 15 round mags and after about 500 rounds have not had any issues with them.

Re: NRA Annual Meeting 2024 in Dallas

We signed up more than 60 new members for TSRA on Friday. Hope to do better on Saturday. Need all the support we can get before the next legislative session.

Had a great time talking with reps of many of the venders I use. Not as much swag as the last Dallas show, but did get some. Ran into quite a ...

Re: NRA Annual Meeting 2024 in Dallas

Folks at the registration desk should be able to look you up. I am pretty sure that you can have one guest. I solved that problem before the last Dallas Meeting by getting the wife an NRA membership.

Stop over at the TSRA booth which is supposed to be near the registration and say HI.

Re: NRA Annual Meeting 2024 in Dallas

Last time it was in Dallas, I carried both on DART and at the KBH Convention Center no issue. IIRC, when then President Trump spoke, again IIRC, carry was not allowed in the place where he was speaking as that was Secret Service controlled, but the rest of the site was OK.

Re: NRA Annual Meeting 2024 in Dallas

Badges for me and the wife arrived in the mail today. I'll be driving up Thursday and will be at the convention all day Friday. Will be pulling a shift in the TSRA booth sometime probably after lunch. Understand it will be located near the check-in area. Stop by and say hi.

HMMM, as of 1730today I have not received the second email and just got off the RSD site filing a Form 8 for today's class and did not see it. Will take another look shortly.

Re: LTC 104

Yep, got the same email as I am sure all instructors did. What can be so hard that they cannot get the new form done in four months?

At least I know what form to use in Saturday's class now.

Re: Which is easier to Maintain, a Mini-14 or an AR15

I have a Mini-14 I bought in 1978 and more than one AR platform. Really like the Mini-14 as a rifle to use for odd jobs around the ranch and plinking. Used to have a folding stock for it, but foolishly traded the stock about 1993. That said, the AR is much easier to care for, more options, and ...
