Re: How to deal effectively with businesses with 30.06 signs
The focus here seems to be the best way to convince businesses to change their position based on attempting to explain to them why their choice is wrong and the threat of taking business away. I know the corporate chains are a black hole, but what about talking to the owner/manager of local places t...

Re: How to report improper §30.06 signs
Both of the links are to the same file for me. I looked at the page source and both lines are the same link:

Re: Sign at DFW airport
Sorry I didn't explain my thoughts. Today when you see that sign you ignore it, and others ignore you because they can't see the gun. Next year, you ignore the sign, others see the gun if you OC. They saw the sign or employees see the gun and know the sign is there. People that don't carry typicall...

Re: Question about buying gun(s)
you've got a long way to go. I've done transactions involving more than a dozen at a time. ATF does require that if you purchase 2 or more handguns within a 5 day period then the dealer has to file a report on you and the handguns with ATF and his local LEO. if you purchase 2 or more semi-auto rifle...

Re: Joe Straus
I'd join/support any effort to get rid of straus, but it seems to me a more effective approach might be to plan for the worst - let's assume straus will kill anything and everything we want however he can. that leaves the governor bringing bills to a special session as the only real recourse. how ab...

Re: Employer Parking Lots question
sounds like it would be worthwhile to gather up all the info charles provided, give it to them, tell them they're wrong, and if they proceed he'll sue them for any/all costs associated with fighting it. I don't know his/her specific situation, but man, that's one of those things worth going after, t...

DPS Status Check gone??
I had a student email me today asking how to check status on his app, I repeated the usual website stuff, he said there's nothing on the site for that. I used his info to log in and sure enough, the check status stuff is gone. he can log in and got confirmation emails about his app being submitted s...

Re: Post office
A Colorado court ruled last year that the firearms ban in parking lots was unconstitutional. Does anyone know if this went any further to other states or to a change in post office policy? http://bearingarms.com/federal-court-win-for-guns-at-post-office-parking-lots/ funny: I read the review of this...

Re: US Military Begins Testing Smart Rifles
In both systems. what I would like to see: 1) A HUD as big as iphone5 with same resolution and ppi density. 2) I prefer 5X-30X optical zoom (with electronic drive) followed with optical sensor and computing node on top. 3) Laser range finder and other sensors stay the same as it is the case now. I'...

Re: US Military Begins Testing Smart Rifles
I would love to see Gen 2.0 of this tracking point scope. For long range, what is a typical target size? 15" to 20" target? I would say hitting a deer size animal at 1,000 yrds is amazingly tough to do. I'm not sure what you mean by Gen 2. I'm inferring that you think there's a problem wi...

Re: US Military Begins Testing Smart Rifles
I wonder how much power it pulls just sitting there watching targets, etc. the XS setup comes with 3 batteries, the unit holds 2 at a time. the system runs off one battery until it's "dead" at which point it auto-switches to the other battery. the batteries are hot swappable so when it ki...

Re: US Military Begins Testing Smart Rifles
A fairly accurate story, except you don't release the trigger to fire. you keep it pulled and when the crosshair center lines up with the painted dot the round is fired. I'm surprised they were only at 70% first shot hits. I've seen much higher numbers myself. my group of hunters with zero exposure ...

Re: What the Tracking point Scope should have been
3) Like in decent the DSLR the shooter can see on 4"-5" LCD/OLED a view of the target with On-Screen overlay of the HUD info. And worth mentioning, the XS series come with an iPad mini, which functions as the monitor for the scope (in addition to the scope's built in display). You can als...

Re: What the Tracking point Scope should have been
Recently, I finally had a change to see the Remington version of the tracking point scope. The system concept is excellent but the first-generation implementation is a mess. The designer decided to use an optical sensor and do digital zoom and rely on 2" display to present the shooter with a &...
