Hey KC5AV, where'd you get the C-clips for your Crossbreed? I have the same holster and went back to their site but I could only find mentions of the normal clips, J-hooks, and V-(velcro)clips.

Re: Me=gunny; Wife=not so much; Suggestions?

In truth I think we're definitely still in the "get her OK with the concept first" stage, and not very close to any actual shooting. Looks like I was exactly right on that score. Had a very :frown5: :frown5: :frown5: moment the other night. Had taken my G30 to a new (to me) nearby range (...

When I took the class at Top Gun here in Houston yesterday, they had examples of all the signs (30.06, 51%, etc) posted on the door to the classroom.
He had a 30.06, but I don't recall seeing a 51% example.

Re: Heller ruling out of SCOTUS today?

And the time frame for those lucky enough to get approved will probably make our current 'Waiting Room' look like the Express Lane. I think we'll have to wait and see what the future holds on that score. Scalia did very specifically say in that section re: license/registration for ownership is that...

Re: Heller ruling out of SCOTUS today?

but the truth is, the ruling is far from an absolute RKBA celebration. I think Steve said it best: My conclusion is that this is this first step in a long journey. It is not the baby step it could have been, nor is it the giant step we wanted it to be. In a comment on another blog, I quoted Steve a...

Re: Heller ruling out of SCOTUS today?

Good new but what are the details...... We'll have to see when we get to read the decision. Also this: It is striking that the decision is not clouded by ambiguity created by separate opinions. One opinion on each side. Apologies - there is a second dissenting opinion, but only one majority - no pl...

Re: Back from D.C.

It will almost certainly be affirmed (for Mr. Heller against the DC gun ban) as an individual right. I predicted 7-2 long before cert was granted, when people were saying how seldom that cert is even granted. 7-2 with an outside change at 9-0 if the decision is very limited. Personally I'd rather h...

Re: Critique my pre-CHL carry strategy plz.

I don't expect my chl to take longer than a month to get to me... Don't bet next semester's tuition. Some of us have been waitin' more than 100 days. Yep - at the moment they seem to be shipping completed CHLs that were received in March, with a couple of Aprils slipping in early. See my sig. If yo...

First weekend carrying - report

As you can see in my sig, I had to wait over a week to get the plastic after the website told me "Completed", and it finally came on Friday. So here's a little accounting of my first weekend carrying out of the house. Which brings to mind, if I may, one piece of advice I'd give everyone wh...

Re: Heller ruling out of SCOTUS today?

No ruling on DC v Heller for Monday, June 23rd. Next opinions: 10 AM Wednesday June 25th. Quite possibly there will be opinions released on Thursday if any remain then. Yep, guess I misunderstood the "last day" thing - apparently it's more a "last week" thing. Fingers crossed fo...
