Re: Back to reloading...some info would be of help...

First I would consider getting a new book with load data. No, I don't think that much has changed, but why risk it, especially if you start trying new loads. I currently hand load 357 magnum, 9mm and 45 ACP. I started out using Hodgden TiteGroup in the 357 Magnum cartridges (4.5 grains for a 125 gr ...

And people wonder why more and more people are jumping on the Texas secessionist bandwagon.

Re: Ode to Academy

I tend to avoid Gander Mountain. I try to comparison shop as much as possible (there is an Academy across from Gander Mountain in Houston on Hwy 290 & 19060). I have NEVER found a cheaper price on anything at Gander Mountain vs Academy.
Plus - Academy is a Texas company. :txflag:

Re: Houston: HPD shooting civilians - spec report by Hou Chr

If a LEO tells you to do something and you decide that you are not going to obey his orders, then I'd say you had better be willing to accept whatever happens after that. Yes, there are circumstances that may put the LEO in the wrong, but do you really want to stake your life on him/her being in the...

Re: Murders neighbors on Labor Day cites "Bush Doctrine"

When I lived in Tulsa we had neighbors like that. Party till 2, 3, 4 in the morning - ANY night of the week. They probably accounted for 5% of Budwiser's Tulsa sales - not to mention other ... substances. There were several times that I had fantasies that involved handguns, rifles, shotguns, rocket ...

Re: Range etiquette

I carry out to the firing line in my holster then put it on the bench while I get ammo and extra mags from my range bag. If in doubt I'd ask before I went out to the firing line.

Re: Four men caught on video

Mr. Cynic (me) wonders: was this a publicity stunt? I imagine it is possible that somebody could have forgotten to lock the door, but as far as a "malfunction", that type of lock either locks or it doesn't, and it is very obvious either way. My wife and I owned a book store for a few years...

The sad thing is that it is a news story rather than something that happens frequently.

Re: HR 3018

Someone should introduce a bill that would lower the taxes on guns & ammo. Every time some idiot introduces legislation like this, another bill should be introduced that would do just the opposite . That might stop some of this. That would take legislators with some... guts. Unfortunately the c...
