Re: Going to Austin. State capital question.
I know this is an old thread, but I decided to post here instead of starting a new one since this thread is about the Texas Capitol. My question is this, Do the guided tours give you access to more areas of the Capitol, that if you do not reserve a spot in a tour? Or can you still have access to all...

Re: Minimum Caliber for Feral Hogs
I've killed over 1,000 wild hogs in the last 15 years. Most were shot out in the open, but a few hundred were shot inside a trap. I've killed several at close range in the trap with a .22lr or .22WMR, but only in the soft spot above the eyes. Anywhere else just makes them mad. I've never worried abo...

Re: As Violence Hits Rich Neighborhoods, Liberals And Ex-Radicals Buy Guns And Mobilize To Oust Progressive DAs
I carry ALL the time. The only exception is in the shower, and then there is one on the bathroom counter just outside the shower. If I'm on the throne, it sits on the window sill beside me. I'm not surprised that even some liberals are beginning to show an interest in home defense. When major cities...

Re: No place but Afghanistan
And that is why the Taliban is now confiscating weapons.

Re: San Jose Ca. To tax gun owners
Taxing a right? The stupidity of liberals knows no boundaries. This is akin to taxing the right to vote, AKA poll tax, which was found unconstitutional.

Re: Portable Generators
My welding machine, a Miller Bobcat 250, puts out 11,000 watts on the generator side. I have run my whole house (2500 sq ft) on it many times due to power outages from storms. During this freeze, I learned a valuable lessen. It will run the AC/Heat, refrigerators, and well pump just fine. But, it wi...

Re: Who didn’t lose power?
We had power every 6 to 8 hours for 30 minutes at a time. The only thing that kept us alive was my stack of firewood. It was brutally cold (-5 Tuesday morning) and I never let the fire go out.

Re: DC: Penetrating the Capital
I smell a rat. The opportunity to use this even for gun control is too convenient. When I rub my crystal ball, I see that people were egged on, security requests were denied, and capitol police stood aside. All to provide the political fodder that will soon be used.

Interesting. I've got most all of the ammo you listed as owned or desired, but I want to keep them all. Good luck.

Re: NRA-ILA Challenging "May Issue"
I don't think that "Proper Cause" is defined in New York law. And there lies the problem. You have to ask a judge for the license to carry, and each judge an interpret proper cause any way they want to. It is the epitome of judicial discrimination and injustice.

Re: TX: Houston man murders his sister while showing her his new gun
Even if the gun had been unloaded, and on safe, only an idiot points a gun at anyone they don't intend to shoot. Rule #1: don't point the gun at anyone, loaded or not.

Re: MO: Robber shot three times
Who was "monitoring" him. Did that person get fired? Inquiring minds want to know.
