Went to the range with my son last week. He has been wanting to try out my .44 mag (6” Smith 29) so I dragged it along. I warned him about the recoil and had him dry fire a few times to get the feel of the trigger. I even fired first so he could see what would happen. He is a hefty 6 footer...

There are no laws in Texas regarding the carrying of a gun on private property. You can walk around with a Ma Deuce over you shoulder if that is your inclination. It is not uncommon for me to have my outer shirt off thereby leaving my carry piece visible. The law also allows a LEO to hold...

"As dangerous as a machine gun." Give me a break!!! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=526655&in_page_id=1770 Check out the link. There are several pictures of this little gem. I certainly want one. Of cource, no imports to the U.S. After...

I got the snot scared out of me yesterday. I carry a Ruger P90 IWB. I treat it like any DA pistol/revolver. I carry (‘carried’ after yesterday) it hammer down with the safety off. I didn’t think about my holster not having a retention strap. Yesterday evening I had my shirt off. I...

We’re hearing all kinds of stories about ATF audits of late. The ‘errors’ that are found are usually so trivial in nature as to be laughable but the ATF goes ape over them. My friend has a pawn shop and a large portion of his business revolves around gun sales. It is staffed only by him and...

Does RCBS make a .308 carbide expander ball? They didn’t used to and I couldn’t find it listed on line. Some years back there was another manufacturer whose expander would fit the RCBS thread. I’m thinking it was Redding. Am I correct?

I have a de-cocker P90. Is it possible to spring load the de-cocking lever? I’m not exactly worried about having a safety on a de-cocker as it is no different from a DA revolver with the hammer down. I would rather be able to de-cock and release having it ready for action. Thoughts or ideas?

What is the big difference between open and concealed carry? Some states allow OC without a permit but require one for CC. What makes the difference? You still have a firearm at your immediate disposal. I realize that there are arguments regarding OC vs. CC but why the difference in...

I saw this on the History Channel the other day. It was used as a non-lethal method to take down prisoners. It looks like a Maglight with a green light beam. Judging from the interference lines it is modulated in some manner. Anyone know what this is? I’m too ignorant of it to even get a...

It used to be that an individual could ship a firearm to a licensed dealer or manufacturer. To get it back required the use of a local dealer and the proper paperwork. Not so anymore. I was hanging out at my buddy’s pawn shop this afternoon and this question came up. The ATF rules have not...

First, they whine and cry about needing gun control to fight crime. Next, they let millions of illegals (half of whom are illiterate and/or criminal) pour into the country causing the crime rate to skyrocket. Using this as an excuse, they disarm the public. Crime rates still go up (no...

Article VI: General Provisions, Supremacy of the Constitution Clause 2: This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the...

This is just a curiosity question for the LEO’s although anyone can join in the fun. The idea of ‘dynamic entry’ is to catch the people off-guard. Basically swoop in before they can react. Say you ran into a hardened situation where you are unable to penetrate the upstairs for a period of...

This is not intended to be a “cop bash fest”. I sincerely hope that it won’t turn into one. I would like the opinion of others regarding the topic. What is the topic? I’m glad that you asked. A lot of people (myself included) are not particularly happy with some (note that I said SOME) of...

HB233 will become law as of September 1st. :) http://www.legis.state.tx.us/tlodocs/80R/billtext/html/HB00233F.htm Active service personnel and vets discharged within the last year will get their CHL’s free. Vets discharged more than one year prior will get a 50% reduction...

I need some trigger work on a Ruger P90 (single action SUCKS!!) Anyone know a good ‘smith in North Texas? (D/FW and areas north.)

I can see the reason to report stolen firearms. I certainly would just for a personal dose of ‘CYA’ in case they were misused. What is their obsession with having the report made within 48 hours? Please pardon my ignorance but what am I missing here?

I wanted a smaller aperture but didn’t want to change to the NM sight. Mine is a SA ’43 with the ‘T’ bar sight so I wanted to keep it original. I took another rear sight, drilled and tapped, and put in a Williams .050 peep aperture. I was very careful and got it exactly straight and true...

It was reported today that HB233 (CHL fee waiver for vets and active duty military) passed the Senate. I can’t imagine Perry not signing it. :D

I see articles about controlling rogue dogs. What is the best way to do this without permanently harming the dog or getting arrested? I’m fairly ignorant in regards to non-lethal methods. Pepper spray? Stun-gun? I don’t want to harm the dog as it truly isn’t the fault of the animal...
