Re: Recommended Guns

To the OP, the criteria you've given would lead me to a Bersa Thunder UC (Ultra Conceal) or Beretta PX4 Storm SubCompact.

Re: Lubbock Federal Court to hear handguns for 18-20 year ol

This story made the Houston news last night. It's interesting to me how the media, when talking about concealed carry of a handgun, they always show video or pictures of AK's and AR's...as if to imply that there will be teens walking around with an AR15 tucked into an IWB holster. :roll: This report...

Re: "Arizona style" Immigration Bill Filed in Texas

CRAP!! Who's gonna do all that manual labor for less than minimum wages? There goes my lawn maintenance bill. :grumble Neighborhood kids who want to make a buck. 'Twas my first job. I understand that this was meant somewhat as a tongue and cheek joke, but seriously, the lawn crew I've used from tim...

Re: Veterans Day

To All Veterans: I cannot adequately convey my gratitude for your willingness to courageously put your life on the line for my/our freedoms. It is a selfless act that can only be described as heroism. You are our heroes! Your country is deeply indebted to you. Thank You! Thank You! :patriot:

:txflag: Gotta like a pitbull like Debbie Riddle. She's my rep in district 150, and I have had the opportunity to work with her on several issues. She's been very responsive. I am chairman for my neighborhood watch group (740 homes) and I invited Rep Riddle to come and speak at our next neighborhood...

Re: Road Rage on the Tollway

I have rarely driven through Dallas (once?), but consider Houston worse than Japanese traffic. And that is pretty bad. :iagree: I grew up and learned to drive in the DFW metroplex and lived in Chicago for 8 years...been to LA, Boston, NY & Seattle numerous times, and Houston traffic is the abso...

Re: Ruger Air Rifle Clearance Sale

Springers are not quiet guns. You can tune it and it gets much quieter. Better spring, good grease to dampen it, and a properly fitted spring guide. Much of the noise is the spring. Much violence takes place in that receiver tube. My quietest backyard gun is a Stevens 22" bolt gun shooting CB ...

Re: Ruger Air Rifle Clearance Sale

Got it sighted in and plinked with it all weekend. Wow that pellet gun has some power. I was really surprised at the amount of kick it has, but I guess being a springer, it should be expected. I tweaked it to the point that I can keep a quarter-sized pattern at 40 yards. The Ruger scope it comes wit...

Ruger Air Rifle Clearance Sale

Like most of you, as a kid, I had the standard Daisy BB gun and eventually the Crosman 10-pump .177 pellet gun. I wore mine out. Lately, I've had the itch to get a high velocity pellet gun for rabbit/squirrel/bird hunting, and just plinking cans off the back fence. I have read several articles and r...

I co-chair the neighborhood watch group in my neighborhood, and at our quarterly meetings, we always try to have a guest speaker to address topics of interest that would benefit our residents. For our meeting last Thursday evening, I asked David Rhodes (owner of Spring Guns & Ammo) if he had an ...
