Re: Ferry Search

From what I have read, TXDOT employees are doing the searches, but I am not completely clear on this. The article that you referred to says, "The screenings began June 6, with vehicle checks performed by the security firm SeaWolf Marine Patrol." Earlier articles in the same paper said the...

If it actually has the prancing pony logo, it should be worth a lot more than $400. Are you sure it wasn't a knock-off?

If it's a real Colt, it would be stainless steel.

IMHO, the best forum for revolver discussions is http://forums.sixgunner.com/.

Re: I changed my mind..

Yep. I carried at a New Years Eve party at the house of very good friends, but I didn't know many of the invitees, and intrudes can invade at ANY time. Yes, sir. It's a common occurrence: A guest brings someone along, or gets on the cell phone and invites others without the host's knowledge. People...

To get an FFL, you must have premises that are open for business at regular hours -- in other words, a store. Some people get an FFL without having a store, but they risk getting it pulled. An individual can get a curios and relics (C&R) license. That lets you do some things you couldn't legally...

I've just got better things to do at the moment. Smart man. When I was a teenager, I saw my friends wasting their time and money with nutty girlfriends and said, I don't need none 'o that.

The NRA courses in handgun, rifle, and shotgun (3 separate courses) are the most common standardized firearms instruction.
