Re: question re: HB1815
Just an FYI for your trip; We just got back from a really nice vacation in the Texas Hill Country (we stayed at a nice 2 bedroom rental overlooking Canyon Lake). Several times during the week we drove the full length of River Road... just be aware that the river is very low (as is the lake) and is r...

Re: Lucky Day
On the day of my mishap (dropping my gun) I decided that if it really was my lucky day that I should buy a lotto ticket. Well, I did on the way home from work that evening. I bought five of them for Wednesday the 6th. Guess what? I won three bucks! I couldn't believe it... so if you feel like your l...

Re: Lucky Day
That's a scary story, but a valuable lesson for all of us. Thanks for the post. It will undoubtedly help us all be safer and more aware. :tiphat: I'm glad your ok. Thanks, karder. It's now after lunch and what happened is still flashing through my mind. I (and my wife) are very lucky to be alive an...

Lucky Day
Well, today must be my lucky day. After showering, shaving and getting ready for work this morning I went to move the pants that I'd been wearing the night before to the laundry bin. Just when I picked them up I felt the resistance and saw my Taurus PT111 (bought new last year) start to fall out of ...

Re: Houston Neighborhoods
Take a look at Sugar Land. An early morning commute can take as little as 20 minutes to downtown Houston. The house prices are pretty well within your range and one really nice thing... they don't allow panhandlers in our town.
Edit: And Merry Christmas to you and yours as well!

Re: 2009 IDPA National Championship
It was a very fun match. Very challenging as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWsI3TbH0o0 Awesome! Just awesome! Thanks for the vid! I can't wait to hit my first match! Lots of practice in the future for me before I could ever think of coming close to the shooting performance manifest in that v...

Sugar Land mayor robbed at gunpoint in his driveway
I guess I'll be toting the .45 instead of the LCP while walking the dogs from now on: Sugar Land's mayor was robbed in his driveway as he returned home from a city council meeting, police said today. About 8 p.m. Tuesday, Mayor James Thompson told officers he pulled into his driveway in the 2600 blo...

Re: Is Obama a boob for bowing?
This is one of those threads that makes me bite my lip so hard... just to keep from saying anything. I'm biting so hard as to bleed... so just a short comment; I can't believe the unbridled hate for the president that seems to be such a common thread throughout this part of the forum. I'm absolutely...

Re: Are there any legal postings to stop solicitors at your home
That is where I open the door with my pistol in its holster, look at the interloper, look at the sign, and carefully shut the door without a word. Purplehood, I hear ya... I wonder though... could that solicitor call the cops on you for displaying/flashing your firearm? Even if you are wearing your...

Action Shooting: Houston Area?
Anyone have any recommendations on an inexpensive outdoor place to practice action shooting in the Houston area? Drawing, moving while shooting, that kind of thing. I know of a few places like PSC that have action shooting lanes... but you need to be a member (I believe) but are there more? Input is...

I would really like to see a picture of this officer. A Google image search doesn't pull him up yet.

Re: Dog shooter of the week
Sylva, North Carolina (edge of nowhere) -- A 24-year-old man was charged with two counts of felony cruelty to animals and misdemeanor "going armed to the terror of the public" (the names of offenses in some states are a hoot). A 41-year-old woman who allegedly drove a vehicle that the man...
