Hello all, A friend of mine has an LTC and mistakenly had his carry weapon in his carry-on bag several months ago. The TSA at DFW discovered it at the airport. They required that he return the gun to his car and immediately rescinded his pre-check status for 5 years. Now, today, several months later...

What are the odds they knew this going in and wanted to make a statement of approval to get the question out of the way? And or to draw out the traitors? Well, if that was the plan, it worked for me. My senator is Kelly Hancock. I always thought he was a bona fide conservative. Now I know he's not....

I have a Sports Afield safe that I bought from Academy about a year ago. I don't know for sure, but I think it's made by Liberty. My safe comes with two physical keys that can be used to open it if you forget the combination. There are procedures to follow to get a new physical key if you ever lose ...

My wife and I went through Big Bend in 2012. Before going, I checked the rules and noted that carry was allowed consistent with State rules, but firearms were not allowed in any of the park's buildings. I elected to carry my .357 revolver consistent with the rules and intending to use it if necessar...

Karma needs to give a full load high pressure dump on that trash Phelan. I'm donating money to anyone running against him next time. Where can we see the vote on this to see how ours voted? https://www.texastribune.org/2023/05/27/ken-paxton-texas-house-impeachment-vote/ I'm in District 91, and Step...

This weekend, the Lone Star Classic volleyball tournament will be held at the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center. I've read reports here that the convention center is not posted. The volleyball tournament involves school-age girls, but it's not a school event (it's a "club" event). I'...

How about using the credit card to buy a "gift card", and use the "gift card" to buy the gun? Great Idea, but I assume if you buy a Carter's Country Gift Card it would show up on the radar, so just buy Amex, Mastercard, Visa, etc generic gift cards. That's what I'm going to do. ...

iPhone has a setting that will only ring calls from your directory. Calls not in your directory, go directly to voice mail. Most don’t leave messages. Some that do say only Hello, Hello, Hello and then end the call. There are apps available in the Google Play Store that work the same way on Android...

My points have nothing to do with Alyssa Milano, so apologies if ...
