Always have your tools on your body, but be prepared to go "hands on" if necessary.

Re: Fundamentals of Shooting

After you master the draw, search for the "torture dot drill" :shock: Wow! To paraphrase, "I'm gonna need a bigger target" Along with less caffeine (my red dot often looks like the bouncing ball following song lyrics). Thanks for the info. That honestly looks like a great way to...

Fundamentals of Shooting

I recently observed my first match at my local range (I was there to use the range but there were matches going on everywhere, so I pulled up a chair). I was quite impressed with the ability of the vast majority of the competitors and thought that if I was going to join in, I would need some work. I...

Re: Mall Shooting in Indiana

According to Redstate, the gunman had another rifle in reserve in the restroom. Only 15 seconds to take out the bad guy. https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2022/07/19/the-details-of-how-good-guy-with-gun-took-out-indiana-mall-mass-shooter-are-even-more-amazing-n598228 Great article!! 10 shots in 15 se...

Re: Russian Invasion Offered Hard Lesson on Gun Control, Ukrainian Says

Most of my close friends are actually quite liberal. It's ok, they are never dismissive of my opinions nor I of theirs (mostly...) However, I came across this quote years ago and it's still my favorite response during the eventual "That would never happen" phase of the 2A discussion: "...

Re: NM: Hand gun with trigger pulled by Alec Baldwin in rehearsal kills one injures one

My original thoughts were along the line of what I've seen of old westerns where the shooter rapidly "flicks" the hammer without pulling the trigger. I was willing to give the DISCHARGE a ruling of accidental but that's why we have 4 rules, not just one. You have to break more than one rul...

Re: Under 21 Possession

Handgunlaw.us is a good place to start. https://www.handgunlaw.us/states/arkansas.pdf Very informative. I think that I had all of my questions answered just from that fact sheet. You should consider OC spray as a less contentious self defense tool. Even when carrying a deadly force tool, it is good...

Under 21 Possession

My daughter is leaving for college this fall and it is a 7 hour drive. She will be traveling between Texas and Arkansas. She is 19. I am looking for resources about whether she can have a firearm in her vehicle. I have asked Uncle Google but I can't find anything clear (not that I expect laws to be ...

Re: DallasMayor calls for NRA to move convention

I’ll kick my own topic off with my most common observation:

Will someone - anyone - who mentions NRA (or LTC) members please use acts committed by those members for their examples.

I can’t imagine Dallas being any safer than when the convention kicks off.

Re: Fayette County Clerk Office`

Government entities cannot post the signs unless the place is an off-limits place such as courthouses or schools. However, Federal property is always off-limits per Federal law and as such do not need those signs. Not to a nit-picker, but some do anyway. Unfortunately, it's still up to the courts t...

Re: "Gun-Buster" Sign Legal?

I would assume (I know, I know) that the LEO is pro LTC or he wouldn't be teaching the course. Having said that, I thought it odd that he would be so outside on this particular matter. Even in a structured course such as the LTC, I can always tell which parts the instructor has a passion about. In t...

Disclaimer: I have read just about every post on this topic and I am aware that it has been discussed to death, so I am sorry to bring it up again. I am a very recent LTC Texan and the topic of prohibited locations was brought up in the class. According to my instructor (an active & senior local...

Plastic in hand. Unfortunately for me, there just aren’t enough arms in the great state of Texas to force me anywhere near an area where shoppers congregate this time of year. I’ll just have to wait on the walk and satisfy myself with fueling my truck and knowing that my Amazon password is a little ...
