Re: Two Iraqis and a Guatemalan attempt to buy 4 M249 SAWs from DFW Gun Store
A priest, a preacher, and a rabbi walk into a bar.
The bartender says "Is this some kind of a joke?!"
A horse walks into a bar.
The bartender ask "Why the long face?"
A blonde walks into a bar.
You'd think she would have seen it!

Re: Two Iraqis and a Guatemalan attempt to buy 4 M249 SAWs from DFW Gun Store
The OP's link doesn't work since it appears to be behind the Dallas Morning Snooze's paywall. This was the front page, top of fold story in the Sunday edition of the DMN, 3/24/24. It was over 2 full pages, with some associated articles. Let me add a few details: One of the BG's flew in from Cali, an...

Re: TSRA Annual starts today
I had planned on going this year, but have too many irons in the fire at home.
As a TSRA life member, I appreciate what all the folks do for us, but could not attend.
Happy trails.

Re: WLP Resigning, Effective 31-JAN-2024
In the OP's opening comment in this thread, I noticed that there was a recent meeting in Irving, Texas (Dallas County, right next to DFW airport). I had started a thread some months ago, about the NRA scouting some potential sites in the Las Colinas area of Irving, then I never heard another peep ab...

Re: Next banking crisis is already well underway
Another angle to consider, with regard to banking issues, is the high and rising number of vehicle loan defaults. People who thought nothing of taking out 6,7,8 year loans on their largest depreciating item (vehicle) are now getting their vehicles repo'd. Repo men have the philosophy "No metal,...

Re: Carjacking fail (WARNING GRAPHIC/LANGUAGE)
The intended victim must have had his gun in his lap. He had great situational awareness and engaged multiple threats immediately.
He'll need a new windshield, but those are a lot easier to get than a complete vehicle, or a new life.
Bravo sir!
