...There's no coercion here - just risk management decisions. The OP recognizes that driving a nice Mercedes is significantly more likely to attract the attention of bandits than an old Toyota. One needs to evaluate how much risk that carries against the pleasure of driving that machine, and decide...

...I hope you also called the police and described the incident as soon as you were at a safe distance. Since they missed you, they would have immediately gone on the hunt for new and more compliant prey. ...Incidentally, it's still not too late to make that call. Investigators looking into robberi...

No doubt about it - you evaded a robbery. Although it may have seemed like 90 seconds to you with all that the BG's were doing, and your analysis, decisions, and tactical execution of plan A with plan B ready to go, I wouldn't be at all surprised if it took only 20 - 25 seconds by the clock. ...I h...

After one robbery and another dangerous street encounter with a BG last year, I now conceal carry 24/7. Because of age (69) and severe arthritis, I, of necessity, move rather slowly these days. I work hard at keeping an especially high level of awareness when going to or from my car. Today at 3:30 p...

I am so sorry to hear of this. We will be praying for Melissa and her extended family.

Chain Restaurants: Don Pablo's Ninfa's Iron Cactus Ruth's Chris ($$) La Madeleine My very favorite chain restaurant is no more: Steak and Ale. :cryin (The food was great and the atmosphere generally quiet enough to actually hold a conversation with others at your table!)

I am thankful for the growing trend of gun ownership by the average American. I am not one to worry about all the conspiracy theories floating around the Internet and I have yet to find a need to wear a tin-foil hat. That said, I believe it is critical to become a student of history. In "The Ri...

What a beautiful gun. That finish is exquisite AND it shoots well too!

You are one lucky guy!

Congratulations. You did a really professional looking job! Beautiful work.

When you get the whole project completed, give us some more photos.

Happy Shooting.

This makes my blood boil. After the sacrifices this veteran made, he should not be subjected to a low-life scum like this bill collector.

I hope the company is made to pay and pay and pay!

I think I will apply to do a police Ride-a-Long on the evening of Election Day!

Great post! You described the CHL experience perfectly! What ticked me off? It took the USPS three full days to drive 90 miles from Austin and deliver it to my house! If it had been possible, I would have driven down to Austin and personally picked it up when it was ready for mailing. I guess I shou...

I am so sorry for your loss; a tragic and an unnecessary death.

I am praying for you and his family. Please let them know that we are thinking of them.

I love TEXASCHLForum. It has a lot of unique topics and threads. You never know what might show up. I have grown to expect the unexpected......

This one brought a smile to my face; educational and amusing.

So sorry for your loss. Our furry companions give us unreserved love, loyalty, and happiness. It seems the more we love them, the deeper our grief at their loss. As difficult as it is, you did the right thing.

We are thinking of you!
