    keeping Austin weird

    Yep. To protest via ***** displays. Many of the commenters on the "event" Facebook page don't even seem to realize that, come August 1, handguns on campuses must still be concealed. http://www.addictinginfo.org/2015/10/10/ut-gun-carry-protest/

    Bullets slipping the crimp in lightweight 5-holers

    A reminder here in regard to some bullets in some cases "slipping the crimp". Smith and Wesson was the first I recall putting such warnings in their instruction manuals, especially on the guns in the 11 and 12 ounce range. From testing (load 5, shoot 4, then compare the last one to others in the...

    More pot-stirring headlines

    Yahoo/ABC seems to be trying to keep the gun issue at the top of their agenda with headlines such as "Bloomberg: I can outspend the NRA". Just as Obama became "Gun Salesmen of the Year" for several years in a row, it's looking like he and Katie may become the best recruiters in the USA for NRA...

    Why NRA Rule #2 may be CHL People's Rule #1

    Just now beginning to get over the learning curve of some new software - which is often ruff for some geezers! This one may draw some differing opinions, but hopefully not as volatile as the last one when I mentioned the words OC. Some of us have greater priorities. ;-)...

    New Blog - began with Texas signage and OC

    Well, with an updated web site under control, I finally got around to the highly-suggested "Blog" thing. Time will tell what other topics will come along (several more already in mind), but it's kicked off with a little signage discussion. And a slight injection of a not-so-humble opinion in...

    Assist in Tweaking Draft on TX Law Changes

    I have been working on this since this morning and am to the point of requesting comments or corrections before I "sleep on it all" another night. -------------------------- Right or wrong, an unusually large number of new Concealed Handgun License (CHL) laws go into effect soon as result of...

    Top of the 9'th, bases loaded in Texas

    A paste below of what I posted on my Facebook page this morning. Request here for all Texans to do something similar. And stay on top of it all thru the end of the month. "Well, pistol fans, it's "crunch time" with the Texas Legislature. Consider it the top of the ninth, bases loaded, score...

    Utah Legislature 2-11-11 action on Non-resident Licenses

    Utah Legislature apears to have a "fix" coming in about 90 days for "The Utah Problem" that had aroused attention in current session of Texas Legislature. http://le.utah.gov/~2011/htmdoc/sbillhtm/sb0036s01.htm As I understand this, after about May 10, 2011, they will no longer consider...

    Cell phone pics thru rifle scope

    Once again, I learned something new from one of my students this week. 17 YO had a new Weatherby '06 with 3 X 9 scope that needed tweakin. In the course of doing so, a buddy with him said he had got some pretty good photos of deer by cranking the scope up to 9X and putting his cell phone camera...

    House Rep comments on TX Campus Carry bill

    Although it never came to a vote in the House, it's good to hear exactly where our local Rep. stands on the issue. “When people look past the misinformation on this bill, you see that this is a well thought out piece of legislation that will further enhance public safety and deter against...

    Doping the wind ...

    A little trivia here for others also possibly seeking "the perfect zero" before hunting season ... At the last Market Hall gun show, a vendor at a table adjacent to ours had what appeared to be a rather old book entitled "Position Rifle Shooting" by Bill Pullam and Frank T. Hanenkrat. I gave...

    Female Trucker held Hostage in Fort Worth

    I'm sure there will be a printed story shortly, but I'm anxious to see if any DFWers know the outcome of slow speed chase as aired for at least 2 hours on Channel 8 earlier this evening. I had to leave right after they hit DPS territory and they perforated the radiator and fuel tank. TV...

    Stress Test in the Cornfield

    Buddy from west Texas called Sunday night, with more info. on some big elk we've observed in the area (on others lands) while doing other types of hunting for the past several years. It seems that 5 bulls migrated over and were making a "bed and breakfast" out of one of his high-dollar irrigated...

    Women's panties in pocket provides "good luck"

    In that the idiot did not get himself shot! :eek: I was stopped at the traffic signal at 377 in Argyle yesterday when this guy turned west on 407 - with three flavors of LEOs in pursuit from the south and a super-shamu coming from the east...

    Tree rat a confirmed carnivore

    While out in the woods doing a "hunter skills trail" as part of a class last weekend, the students and I heard a big commotion up in an adjacent tree. It took a little moving around for us to be able to see what was happening. A squirrel had gone up a limb and, despite the frantic efforts of...

    Chrono results with new Bar-Sto .40 barrel in G29: faster than Sig 229.

    Did some chrono work last night that some of y'all might find of interest. Buddy who handloads carries a Sig 229 in .40. When I laid the barrels side by side a few weeks ago, his barrel was about 1/10" longer than barrel(s) for my new 29. .40 180 grain handloads Sig 229: 934 fps G29/w...
