My Opinion: I spent 41 years in academe, held an endowed chair for 15 of those 41 years, and was a Dean for 9 years. In the universities in which I served, this type of shoddy research and publication would have resulted in a strong condemnation by the department and, if said publication was listed ...

We will be praying for Trinity and the doctors who are treating her.

...Regressing, but back in CA I was at a traffic light and a bum was so bad I finally flashed my badge and wanted to talk to him in a official capacity (we didn't allow that). I was working a crime suppression detail in a unmarked ford taurus on overtime by myself in plain clothing. This guy wants ...

After reading some of your comments, I was motivated to return to the scene of my crime and now have an interesting follow-up to my original post. I went back by the McLennan County Courthouse Complex today and discovered that there is (1) "The Courthouse Building" that houses judges and c...

After what seemed to be an eternity, I finally had the two placards in my hand and got out of there. Sure enough, as I left the building, I saw the prominently displayed 30.06 sign posted RIGHT ON THE DOOR where I had entered the courthouse annex. If there was no "Court" or "Jails&qu...

On December 11, I was involved in an attempted carjacking that, fortunately, turned out in my favor. However, in the adrenaline fueled aftermath, I went on to the local post office to mail Christmas packages for my wife. Standing in the long line, I suddenly realized that I still had my firearm in m...

Congratulations on your successful purchase. I was fortunate that my local gun shop owner warned me six months ago and got me to order a case of 9mm and a case of .45 ACP at a special price. I currently have about 1500 rounds each of 9mm, .45 ACP, and .22 LR to tide me over until the frenzy dies dow...

Senator Ted Cruz is a bright ray of sunshine in a rather dismal political climate. I believe he could become an influential leader who can become a real game changer for support of our Second Amendment rights. He, obviously, is not afraid to take on the Washington establishment! GOOD FOR HIM AND EVE...

I wrote my two senators and my representative encouraging them to hold the line against further gun control measures and asking that they actively fight the appointment of any left-wing judges to the Supreme court. While we are "preaching to the choir" with most of our Texas representative...

The placebo effect doesn't work very well. The restaurant parking lot in Waco (TX), where I was almost carjacked on December 11, had signs, "This parking lot is under video surveillance." When I asked the manager for copies of the video, she said, "Oh, we don't actually have any camer...

Thank you for the update. We will keep her on our prayer list.

I try to keep a minimum of 1,000 rounds of FMJ practice ammo and 300 rounds of JHP defense ammo in both 9 mm and .45 ACP. In addition, I keep 1,500 rounds of CCI .22 LR for my Ruger Mark III Target pistol. After finding the best brand of defense ammo for each of my handguns, I try to keep 150 JHP ro...

We will be praying for your mother-in-law and all your family. May God's healing hand be upon her.

Greatest gift was being able to be with family for traditional Christmas meal. Having all my sister's children, grandchildren, and greatgrandchildren in attendance brings a special joy to the Christmas season. Santa Claus no longer visits our house but in addition to books, video books, cologne, aft...

Most of the friends I made in my CHL class all carry 24/7. If one says they carry "24/7," then they never voluntarily go to any of the places listed in PC 46.035, because they will be unarmed. If they do voluntarily go places where they must be unarmed, what makes them any different than ...
