I posted this on another forum, but wanted to elicit some other opinions from you folks here as well. Here's my problem: I bought a used T Series BHP a couple of weeks ago, and returned today from the range after shooting it for the first time. From 15 yards away, I fired 100 rounds of 115...

I put my home defense shotgun up for sale today. It's a seldom used Winchester Defender that I would rather keep, but when you're going into month six of unemployment, some difficult decisions need to be made. It's not like I'll be unarmed, so that wasn't a concern, but rather that I may need to...

Man, I hate to see this happen: http://www.1911forum.com/forums/ That forum has been a motherlode of knowledge for me as I've pursued my passion of 1911's. I've learned a heck of a lot there, and still have plenty more to go. That's one forum I'll really miss. :(

I was watching the Jose Canseco interview, which focused on Canseco's use of anabolic steroids during his pro career. At one point in the interview, Mike Wallace talked about Canseco's numerous problems with the law, and tried to show how the results of "'roid rage" will often lead to...

Hey guys, a friend of mine sent me this email today. He lives in New Jersey, but works in NYC. He knows I have my CHL, and followed up with this question: I already provided my answer, and covered a few points covered under Texas CHL Stautes, but I'd still be interested in the...

Just wondering how many of you who already carry concealed, or carry a "car gun", will now add a rifle to your vehicle? Is it sensible or an over-reaction to add that AR-15 or SKS (or whatever you choice is) to your standard personal defense weapon? I'm not thinking about SHTF scenario's here...

I'll be making this drive later in the month. Any of you TX CHL holders done it recently, and if so, do you have any advice? I know I can go to http://www.packing.org for the appropriate state listing of where I can carry, but I'd be interested in hearing from any of you that have recently done...

With the recent events in the Middle East, it got me wondering what will happen when these cowards either attempt one or commit one in Europe, the U.K., or some other country that has for the most part been disarmed? I have to think it's going to be a pretty hard sell to deny the law abiding...

A Stevens Double Barrel side by side, with 30†barrels to be exact. A friend called me to ask about getting this shotgun refinished, as his father has owned it for a long time, and would like to have the stock replaced. Where do you start to begin this project, and does anyone have an idea of...

Just a few hours after completing our TIGER Valley Defensive Pistol Course, I'm ready for some more! I thought TJ Pilling and the guys from TIGER Valley did an excellent job, but before we broke up the topic of discussion was doing a low light pistol course in the evening. TJ's suggestion was a...

My first grade son came home today and told me "Dad, we had a gun safety program in school today." I asked him if it was Eddie the Eagle and he said it was, and then pointed out the Eddie the Eagle sticker on his shirt. :cool: He told me it was a presentation to the entire school! All three of...

Here's my question: why would military commanders think that the combined use of soldiers untrained in interrogation techniques, CIA operators, and civilian "contractors", provide a more expedient way of victory than unbridled use of tremendous and overbearing force against enemy positions (such...

Yesterday, I was traveling back home to the DFW area, and detoured from I-45 by heading west to I-35 (from Groesbeck to Waco, in case you're interested). Most of the drive is 70 mph, but there are a few small towns that appear that will slow you down from 70 to 55, then down to 40 and 30, as you...

Last week, I went to a new Oshman's store in Watauga, TX. My reason for going there was that it had recently opened, and had sent out discount coupons to residents in the area. I needed some ammo, so off I went. As the clerk at the firearms counter was ringing up my sale, he asked me for my...

..Amendment politics? Here's what I mean. Say I meet a person with a Boston accent on an airplane. Sometimes I catch myself thinking "You seem normal enough, but we haven't gotten around to discussing firearms. Somebody is sure as heck voting for Kennedy, Kerry, Meehan, and Frank...is it you...

Where were you born, and if you had to live there now, how are the gun laws? It's a slow night, so why not ask this extremely provocative gun question? I was born in Munich, Germany. If I had to live there now, well...I'm really not too sure how the gun laws are (as regards handguns...

I just saw O'Reilly discussing Blackwater with Dick Couch, former Navy SEAL who has authored "The Warrior Elite," an account of a SEAL Class in training (and a heckuva read), and has now written a new book called "The Finishing School." Apparently Couch spent time at Blackwater to research this...

How do you convince someone that liberty is worth fighting for? http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/04-18-2004/0002153599&EDATE= ] At some point, these people are going to have to want to fight for their freedom. Never mind extended tours of duty...

Here's why I ask. In my job as a mutual fund wholesaler, it's almost a foregone conclusion that I play golf. Well, I don't! But what I do like to do with brokers and planners is arrange a sporting clay event, or even a trip to a range, then on to dinner or something after (where I talk about the...

Everytime I hear the phrase, I have to admit ignorance as to knowing exactly what a "tour of duty" is, and how long one should last. Are they always the same in duration? Is everyone expected to serve say one, but no more than say, three? Is there a number that's limited in a specific theater of...
