Re: Texas High Court Limits Self Defense Law

In all honesty, I do not see how this is a major change to the interpretation of these sections of law.

Where it might affect us is very rare, I think. Use of deadly force is barred in certain circumstances, so it would be impossible to use the necessity defense in those same circumstances. But I ...

Re: Most Powerful Police Union Disarms ALL Americans - Emergency Release

I am glad I never joined FOP or IACP. This announcement is fear mongering or political partisanship at best, and downright lies at worst.

Nothing in the bill says anything about qualified immunity. It does make the law clear that violating the Second Amendment is a violation of a person's rights ...

Re: United Kingdom: the police state

I got mine through a drug store about 3 decades ago when I was making black powder model rockets. It used to quite common on farms. It was also rumored to being slipped to soldiers in boot camp to reduce libido. I never knew it that was true.

I don't know if the rumor was true or not, but I ...

Re: State Fair of Texas 2025



Wonder if those are numbers are unique visitors or does it just count who entered daily regardless if they went once or every day?


I'm betting daily numbers regardless if they had visited previously this year. I can't think of how they would track unique visitors without some sort of badge or ...

Mom put on Child Abuse Registry for letting 13 yo babysit.

I babysat a 9 month old and a 2 year old when I was 10yo. Geez.


That is crazy. By the time I was ten, I was not only watching my ...

Re: Can the USPS get any worse?

This is at least partly based on the authority of the judge to issue junctions. As per a recent SCOTUS decision, district court judges cannot issue blanket injunctions. They can issue injunctions just for the parties who sued, either individually or as members of a class if a class action suit is ...

Re: Walking stick or walking cane?

Are the ones with hidden swords legal for LTC folks?

While I gather that this question was somewhat tongue-in-cheek, the answer is "sort of". Based on a quick review of chapter 46, all swords (I saw nothing to differentiate the hidden from visible swords) are "location restricted knives". The ...

Re: State Fair of Texas 2025



Two years later, still no one can determine if the shooter had an LTC. Some crack investigative reporting. Seems like that would have come out during the trial.

I'm 99.9% sure he didn't.


I'm sure he didn't either. I was more so curious than anything. But the fact that the media fails to ...

Re: Glock 19 Gen 5 COA

I bought a Glock 19 Gen 5 with the cut for optics, then bought a green dot Holosun sight. This was my first try with optics on a pistol. I am impressed. My groups tightened up considerably with the optic site over other pistols (including Glocks) without them.

Re: Nobody but Sheila Jackson Lee - Her daughter is back

She ran in the special election to fill her mother's unexpired term, and was replaced in the regular election by Sylvester Turner. She is working as the campaign manager for one of the candidates to replace Turner.
