    Fox News is making me ILL!

    Saw a mod on a house where the owner had installed a burglar-bar type gate blocking the hall to the bedrooms. The gate was locked and unlocked from the master bedroom by a linkage in a metal conduit. The theory being that you could hear through the gate and by the time anybody got through such a...

    Where to shoot in Corpus Christi, TX

    Like I said it's been a while, prolly a decade or so, but there were no membership fees at the time. As for rules, well, I'm sure they have them written down. Somewhere. When you passed through the gate there was a small house on the right and the parking area was on the side of the house...

    Where to shoot in Corpus Christi, TX

    There's an outdoor range off Yorktown, to the Flour Bluff side of Rodd Field Rd called Starry Shooting Range. As you drive towards FB on Yorktown you'll see a sign next to a caliche road on the right. If you get to the Mud Bridge you've gone too far. Bring repellent. It's been a while since...

    Ron Paul on Guns

    I don't have a problem with the fact that he opposes it, as long as he sees the need for victory now that we are involved. FWIW, I'm becoming convinced that Iraq is a huge waste of time and that we should've just gone straight to Iran which was the point of this whole thing. Oh well, 20/20...

    Got Pulled over By 4 cops today while carting (CA)

    Come on down here to South Texas and travel the 77 and 281 highways for a few days and see how many traffic stops there are AND how many have the occupants standing off to one side while the officer searches the vehicle. I can tell you it's a lot and every single one. I see it almost every day.

    Are gun thefts common????

    Sorry to say, I've lost two here in a little over a month. Both due to complacency, of course. The MO was the same in both break ins. Force the front door, arm himself with a large knife from the kitchen, proceed to search drawers, closets, under mattresses, for guns and cash. IMO it's...

    How much patience w/ a new gun?

    I'm pretty forgiving, I suppose. If the gun is all that I wanted, but has reliability issues, I'll work with it until it is fixed or I find out it has some problem that is not recoverable short of replacement. See, I don't believe that there is any guarantee that another gun will be any...

    Dan Wesson Barrel Wrench

    Worst case scenario you can always make one by grinding a 1/2 inch 3/8 drive socket into the appropriate shape. I did that a bunch of years ago when I needed one that day.

    1911 45acp - Is it the caliber or platform that attracts most?

    Platform for me, for all the reasons already mentioned. I prefer them in 10mm, but will "settle" for a .45 in a pinch

    Mike Rowe: "Dirty Jobs" and Guns

    It's his job to look befuddled, bewildered, and just generally uncomfortable about every aspect of the work being highlighted and he does it well. He may, or may not, care for firearms but he doesn't strike me as the type to be frightened by them.

    Brady Campaign to Stop Car Violence: Election Is Mandate for Race Car Ban

    Hey, if you're driving a car and are wearing shoelaces does that mean you have a constructive machine car?

    Overheard this morning

    I was in the dentist's office getting a cleaning and could hear that there was a lot of conversational banter between the assistant, patient, and dentist in the next room. To the point that I was starting to wonder how they were gonna get any work done over there. Anyway, there was a another bit...

    What wont S&W sell with their name on it :p

    Even with all the S&W merchandise they got nothin' on Harley-Davidson. Hey, there's a thought. A S&W model of a Harley. The universe would probably implode or something.

    I heard that and immediately thought GWI.

    Farscape gun handling observations

    From what I understand the real issue is Skiffy playing games trying to get the show cheaper. MGM thinks they can go on in syndication but Skiffy is standing in the way of that, too. Basically it seems to be the same crap they've pulled with every other franchise (Sliders, Farscape, to name two...

    "Somehow it went off"

    I suspect that the classification of negligent discharge is pretty strict. Meaning that discharges that were aimed at a target downrange, yet happened prior to the command to fire even by the slightest amount, were still recorded as ND's. Perhaps even those that didn't stop as quickly after the...

    unmarked patrol cars

    Yeah, they use 'em. I've been pulled over by a Trooper in a silver Intrepid who lied about my not using signals to go around another traffic stop, cursorily checked my ID, and sent me on my way. Trooper was in uniform. Another Trooper was close by in a maroon Impala, sans trunk wing. He was also...

    Mom's worried and giving me a hard time, again!

    Pretty much says what she's worried about , and why, right there. She's worried about what the neighbors will think and has been brainwashed to believe that guns and some food are the sure signs of a survivalist whacko who's "this close" to being a household name. Don't know how you're...

    Seizure Fever: Proof is for Suckers

    Based on the article it appears the guy was being evasive, which likely means the cash was for illegal purposes, so I agree with the outcome on this one. FWIW, I don't care for the potential for abuse that seizure laws allow. The appearance of impropriety is just too great, even when...
