Re: Basic unarmed self defense for me and wife

I have studied at two places in the Round Rock area, both before I became a gun nut: ;-) * Niblock's ATA on Sam Bass - This school requires a contract, and is all about going to tournaments and such, but Mr. Niblock is a great guy and not adverse to guns (I know he and his sun hunt). Mrs. Niblock is...

Re: New season of Top Shot

I missed the first part (flintlock challenge?), but enjoyed the rest of the show. Somehow, I knew the Asian woman would be picked dead last. Nothing racist, sexist here on my part, but maybe on the part of the pickers. ;) For the elimination challenge, I turned to my wife and said, "I want 10 a...

Re: Down to two....STI Ranger II or Kimber Super carry pro?

(Warning: I'm a relatively new shooter, so what do I know ;-) ) This topic interests me a lot, because: 1. I have an STI Ranger II in 9mm, which is very nice, but has been a lot of trouble, and I would have gotten rid of it a long time ago if the factory wasn't <30 minutes away. This is my intended ...

Re: Introduce yourself

Just wanted to check in, here... Relatively new to shooting (couple of years). Got my CHL mid-last-year. Carried for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Got a couple of 1911s (5" .45 for home defense and 4" Commander-ish in 9mm for concealed carry) and an XD(m) in 9mm (got the urge for a...

Re: URGENT, a Bill on knives could protect your CHL

Pardon me, but I'm not the brightest bulb in the package with legalese. I recently purchased a nice knife with an assisted-opening blade. I'm a bit worried that the text in the bills still leaves room for interpretation of my knife as more of a switchblade than not. Its spring has an outward /openin...
