They have a training program for federal air marshals? Shooting is rarely your first option or choice on an airplane, and in all honesty, it's something you DON'T want to do. And not because of the Hollywood BS about a little bullet hole in the skin causing the airliner to blow up and have...

Not completely. I know where you're coming from, and to a certain extent, agree. However. . . It's analgous to your employer firing you for having a Reagan or Bush or McCain for President bumper sticker on your car in the employee parking lot. Or firing you for having a crucifix hanging...

Gimme a break. This ain't exactly J. Edgar Hoover or the Pinkertons running college campus police departments. When I was in college, we had more respect for the janitors--at least they KNEW what their job was and how to do it. Attitudes like those of this idiot chief are the rule, rather...

Just curious as to why? So long as we have a CHL, shouldn't we have the choice to carry as we see fit--why would having a CHL negate your ability/right to carry openly when appropriate or advantageous to the CHL holder? Jeff

+1 Don't want to give up the reciproxity of CCW with other states, but would like the option to carry openly here as well. Jeff

Between that "I know what's better for you than you do" mindset plus throwing out the race card, say hi to Joe and Rachen on the "Ig" list. Hopefully one of them is serving coffee. Jeff

We don't have kids or grandkids, and very few friends who do. My reloading setup is in a stand-alone workshop behind the house. I'm generally the only one who goes in there. Prior to moving back to Texas, other homes we lived in I had to use one of the spare bedrooms or office areas for my...

Joe, I seem to remember asking you where you were in '69 when you were wailing away against Nugent and Charlie Daniels, et al. (speaking of sanctimony and johnson-waving). Thanks for reminding me to put you on my Ignore list. Jeff

Not exactly. Close. . . If Mas Ayoob had posted what this Ian guy did, then Mas could be looking at some liablity based upon his credentials and reputation as an established source of information, plus his credentials to back it up. If I posted what this Ian guy did, it could get interesting...

Sigh. Yeah, still a bit pissed off that so many clueless mall managers, car lot dealers, etc continue to scrape BELOW the barrel (not even the bottom of it) for what passes as "security" simply to satisfy insurance requirements. It gets old having these idiots coat-tail you around places, tell...

I spent twelve years in craphole neighborhoods and housing projects and so on working as an undercover federal narcotics agent. What's your experience with these places? Didn't run into too many mall ninjas there--didn't run into too many uniformed credentialed law enforcement types there...

No more so than self-annointed righteousness from the internet morality police. :rolleyes: At our place way out in the sticks and he was still on our property? Absolutely. Either that or I'd be happy to send you a bill for the cost of replacing the horse he stole or the saddle and tack or the...

We like the Browning Gold Series safes. One for long guns and one for handguns and other household stuff we want secured. We keep a separate premium quality firesafe for documents. Safes are bolted into cement foundation, as well as wall studs from behind. It'll take enough time and make...

That's why a lot of us have already written off those areas and populations. Gun control isn't the only problem they have. Down here in Texas, we have the Minuteman Project. When it became clear that the gov't wasn't going to do a damn thing about the illegals INVADING our country, we took...

First off, your son doesn't have a nickname that often gets confused with "Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more" does he? Secondly, spare me. "Man Trap" "person on floor with pistol in hand" blah blah blah. This is EXACTLY the kind of talk and rhetoric that defines "mall...

Best that happened on the range rather than the street. There are SOME things you simply cannot plan on or practice for all the time. We were testing new sidearms for our military unit back in the early 80's. I was on the test team since I was the best pistol shot, and was working the Beretta...

Sorry, Rachen, but when I read your thoughts and opinions such as your glee when the students at Tiananmen Square were ruthlessly killed, and you referred to them as "traiterous scum," your credibility with me is LESS than zero. I spent over 20 years of my life carrying a gun and working to...

I do know from my old fed LE pals that better than two-dozen large, organized militias were watching this decision VERY intensely. I also know from them that there were some folks at DHS that were getting a severe case of the sweats in the days leading up to the decision. Some of the younger...

Boy, you're gonna make a lot of friends here. . . Jeff

Ah, but here is where you're not entirely correct. When word gets out that robbing or burglarizing Business X is a risky proposition due to burglars incurring serious injury or death, smart thieves (oxymoron?) avoid that place. To a lesser extent, knowing that the police show up, especially...
