    NFA Firearms for home defense?

    Lots of misinformation in this thread. Let's start with this one: I don't know about your state, but in Texas, this is 100% wrong. Castle Doctrine here does, in fact, protect you from civil liability resulting from shooting an intruder.

    Owners Name "electric penciled" on slide - how much does this affect value?

    Was the Colt Model P owned by the current world 9-ball champion?

    Five that you Won't Buy

    1. Taurus Judge or anything similar 2. Any gun in a caliber that is extremely expensive (more than just the regular expensive) or hard to find 3. Any type of derringer 4. Any .25 or .32 caliber handgun 5. Any S&W revolver with the lock I could probably expand this to 10 at least, but those...

    Update: Texas Shooter Convicted, Sentenced to Life

    I recall that as well. The other thing that stands out in my mind from reading the original article is this: They look like some real class acts.

    Have a question about a survival weapon. Help please.

    If shouldering a plastic arcade gun with no recoil at all causes you pain, I see only two choices: 1. Find a competent doctor and work on getting the problem resolved, as others have said above. It may not be cheap, pleasant, or easy. But you have a lot of life left in front of you, and...

    Petition for Texas Open Carry

    In addition to writing your reps, which you should definitely do, especially in the months leading up to a new session when bills are actually being written, you should also write TSRA. As pointed out above, they have not been very forthcoming on OC. If more members will voice their support...

    Petition for Texas Open Carry

    I support the notion. However, I believe the window of opportunity in this session has passed. Also, I'm pretty sure this is quite old. Look at the copyright in the bottom right. The last year listed is 2007. I think that's about when I signed it. If you really want open carry, as I do...

    Why did they buy the gun at all?

    Yeah, there are probably lots of reason. Some guys on here have in excess of 100 guns. With that many, I would imagine some get shot very little or not at all. Either that, or they have WAY more time and money than I do. Other guys buy guns primarily for home defense or SHTF-type scenarios...

    Belt clips Anyone ?

    I have the universal revolver model attached to my SP101 with it's 8 million pound trigger. I like it (the clipdraw, not the trigger). I've also used one on an LCP. It worked fine, but I eventually removed that one, as the trigger is more like 1 million pounds. By the way...the clipdraw...

    Wikileaks Cable, most cartell guns come from Central America

    Well I wasn't really talking about New Mexico. But since we're comparing population, the DFW and Houston metro areas alone dwarf the New Jersey population. (12.5 mil compared to 8.7 mil). That's not counting Austin, San Antonio, and the rest of the I-35 corridor. Sorry...I get a little tired...

    Wikileaks Cable, most cartell guns come from Central America

    Would you call California "mostly rural"? 'Cause we just passed them in electoral votes. Yes, there are rural areas, but I don't think this qualifies as "mostly rural" Keep in mind that the couple of white counties are also going to be mighty short on gun stores...

    Traffic Stop: Will "Are You Armed?" Question Become SOP?

    Really, TexasRifleman? That surprises me, because I feel like I get asked every time. Fortunately (and surprisingly?) I haven't been pulled over much in the past few years, but I feel like I've been asked several times if there are any weapons in the vehicle, especially on the I-35 corridor...

    870 wood forend

    What about something like this? I think basically you need the type of wood stock set the put on Wingmasters or the more hunting-oriented 870s. The "tactical" 870s are going to have the shorter forends, as they allow for a sidesaddle to be mounted on the receiver. I personally don't care for...

    Credit Card incident, possibly Buds Gun Shop?

    Were the fraudulent charges to a debit card connected to the account or by EFT to the account? If the former (which is far more common), then it wouldn't have had anything to do with the routing and account number. I have had a card compromised once in the past and, like you, I wanted to know...

    police trade-ins

    CDNN has them from time to time. Their catalog changes regularly, so check back often if you're looking for something specific.

    Back Door

    Thanks for posting the NRA letter, TexasRifleman. That was a good read.

    reliability and accuracy of colt defender

    Only one comment on the New Agent above. Do the comments on the Defender generally apply to the New Agent as well. I'm planning to get one this year...hopefully by the summer.

    Why Don't You Shoot In Local Matches?

    1. money 2. time I wish I could claim it was more complicated than that, but it isn't. I supposed if I was interested enough, I'd overcome those. But as it stands, other responsibilities, priorities, and interests trump competing in any sort of firearms matches.

    Carry at Stubbs in Austin

    I'm not sure it would be accurate to say the concert area is separate from the bar. There is a concert entrance, sure, but you can walk from there right into the back entrance of the bar and vice versa. It's been a few years since I've been there, but I would think 51% would be a problem...
