Out of state renewal.....
Currently I am stationed up in Washington State, and my wife's CHL (as well as mine), is going to expire next year. Is there any way we could get our licenses renewed from Washington State? And if so, how would we go about it?

Re: Even liberal Austinites got this one right!
1) It costs less to put someone to death than it does to keep them in prison for life. Life in prison is a much harsher penalty. As it's cheaper, we should use it. Can you please explain how it is cheaper to keep someone alive for their natural life, rather than killing them? I do understand that t...

Re: AR Barrel Questions
Thanks yet again for the sound advice. :tiphat: And y'all are right, the course was based on maintenance but we were taught how to do most everything except barrel and head spacing. My intent was to have a certified gunsmith do the barrel stuff for me. And it looks like the wife and I will have to h...

Re: AR Barrel Questions
Thank you for the info and suggestions. I think that I will be going with a CHF barrel. But I have one last question: I would like to use a Midwest Industries free float SS series hand guard and was wondering what it would do with a M4 profile barrel (the barrel starting off thin and then thickening...

AR Barrel Questions
My wife has decided to allow me to build another AR-15, so...I started looking at some different options and was intrigued by the "Recce Rifle" concept. This being said, it seems like a lot of companies are offering recon, recce, or socom style barrels (Noveske, BCM, Wilson Combat, AR-15 P...

Re: M&P9 slide on an M&P45....
Thanks for the info. Thought experiments are always fun, and some tend to get expensive.....and I am sure that my wife appreciates the fact that now I don't have a "reason" to get both

M&P9 slide on an M&P45....
So, my wife and I decided that we wanted to sell our Sig P239s and replace them with M&P9s. Then the question arose about caliber conversions.....especially seeing as she would like to consolidate calibers, and liked the fact that the M&P45 gave us more rounds in about the same size package ...

Re: Two arrested at Austin Capitol during open carry rally
Who's asking permission? Texas is a shall issue state. No one is asking permission. IMHO you are unnecessarily carrying a chip on your shoulder. Everyone that has a TXCHL has asked permission. Even though Texas is a shall issue state, what did all of us have to go through to get that piece of plast...

Re: Two arrested at Austin Capitol during open carry rally
Why open carry when you may Legally carry Concealed??? Not to get too far off topic, but I am not a big fan of asking permission to exercise my right of self defense (IE getting a CHL). Ideally, we would all be part of a texasconstitutionalcarry.com website, but sadly that doesn't exist (at least i...

Re: 1911 Holster
:iagree: I use the same exact Don Hume for my full size (its my EDC) and I love it. Occasionally (when I'm out in the woods usually) I use a Blackhawk Serpa holster. I can conceal in the right T Shirt, BUT it is easier and much more comfortable wearing a light weight cotton or under armor shirt as a...

Re: Looking For Lower Cost Molle Gear
Condor gear isn't too horrible, but I have an issue with it. It is made in Asia (at least it was last time I checked). The same goes for Maxpedition and a few of the "cheaper" companies. Most of their gear is pretty good and has been beat to heck and back and survived. BUT, I tend to like ...

Re: Need some info
Thanks for the advice. The rifle is a J.C. Higgins Model 45 and I have not slugged the barrel yet. Looks like a micrometer is in the chute for the next purchase as well as a thicker dowel rod.

Need some info
I have everything lined up to reload 30-30, but I ordered a .308 sizer not a .309. This being said, what is the down side to using it with my gas checked cast bullets in a 30-30?
Thanks
Thanks

A few weeks ago I used the Ruger form letter and sent a bunch of them to some of my state reps in PA (I pay PA state taxes and did my absentee ballot from here for there) and one of them sent me back this: Dear Mr. Branam: Thank you for taking the time to contact me about recent proposals related to...
