Re: An idea for the future

My next votes will be largely decided based on the shenanigans that took place on SB19. I think the clips around SB19, SB11, & HB910 should be required viewing for any civics class in the state. I've learned more about Texas government from those 3 bills then any High School or College governmen...

Re: The thread where we thank Mr. Cotton

I got to add my thanks to that as well. When I first joined this forum I was one of those 20 something's with a CHL living on a college campus and having to choose between storing my firearm in my vehicle (parked in lots where cars were routinely broken into) or leaving it at "Home" 200+ m...

Re: school student pulls trigger on police rifle

Why safety off on an unchambered weapon? Just wondering. Even if followed to the letter, what would prevent someone from chambering a round and firing it? Seems the mistake is allowing a loaded (possibly unchambered) weapon in a public place where kids are present. The Safety can't be on with the h...

Re: Chandlers Gunshop and Shooting Range

Definitely glad to see Mr. Cotton on board and eager to see what plays out on the 7th.

I'll save my opinions of what's transpired so far for after... here's to hoping for a range day on the 9th.

It is not this sign, I've seen that sign before this one is new. When I'm back in Houston, this weekend. I'll try to get a pic of it.

This one is about 8-9" high by about 15" wide. They do have the sign like the one on the gunzone site posted inside, but thats always been there.

New Sign at the Post Office

I did a search and didn't see anything. I had to mail something the other day and noticed a new sign at the post office (Town and Country in Houston). I don't remember the exact wording but it covered carrying concealed or open and on your person or in the car. Also said punishable by a year in jail...

I do the Spread Sheet thing. If you don't want to spend money on MS Office you could try Open Office(It's Free).

The other thing I go is email the file to one of my web based email accounts as an attachment. That way I can get to the file from anywhere with an internet conection.

I'm not too familiar with the XD (that’s what it is right?) but it looks ok. If it’s cycling rounds that’s a good sign. Another thing you can do is with it UNLOADED and NO ammo in the mag. Point it at the ceiling and put a pencil down the barrel eraser first so the eraser sits on the firing pi...

Some states wont honor out of state permits for Residents. I don't know if Louisiana is that way or not. But you may not be covered once you get your Louisiana residency. If they allowed people to just get out of state permits then everyone would just get Foridia and New Hampture permits, and not bo...

I just got my first glock (27) two weeks ago. It's also taken me that long to get to a point where a feel comfortable enough to carry it. I still prefer my sig though. Anyway, the only problem I see with carrying a modified Glock would depend on what you did with the trigger. Lighter springs, lighte...
