Re: Mountain Lion Encounter
Although he didn’t run, I wonder about continuing to retreat like he did versus just standing still. He could have tripped walking backwards like he did and provided an opportunity for that lion to pounce. Yep. Backing up on rough ground with staring down a mountain lion is a good way to fall. Safe...

Re: TX:The mean streets of Houston - Here, hold my beer
No firearm discharged that I can tell--though the one identified perpetrator did threaten to "shoot up" his old workplace--so maybe this doesn't belong here at all. But, you know, because among large counties nationwide Harris County ranks #3 in "worst drunk-driving problem," thi...

Re: 2024 NRA B.O.D. ballot
The only tip about the NRA Board elections is that it's an aggregate summation game. In other words, if someone votes for A, B, and C; I vote for A & B; and TAM votes only for A, then A carries the vote. It isn't exactly like you dilute your votes the more people you vote for, but it sorta kinda...

Re: My Bank Account Hates it When New Guns are Announced
Don't ever look at or handle a Fusion Firearms pistol or your bank account might just collapse. Very nice pistols with lots of good features at a very good price. I have 4 and number 5 is on the way in a little different build. Bantam in the 357 Sig caliber for edc. I've never shot a Fusion. I have...

Re: Can the USPS get any worse?
For us, it's not just the USPS in general, but the doofuses they hire to handle mail. Our local mail carrier looks like some hillbilly from the backwoods, and is constantly messing up people's mail (we have one of those community mailboxes): putting mail in the wrong box, putting parcels in the wro...

Re: Joe Xiden AKA Brandon- Not guilty by reason of mental disability
Don't know exactly where this might fit, topic-wise, but this video hosts the ever-lucid Victor Davis Hanson, and he does a good job summarizing what's happened during the Biden administration...and what we face next November. From the YouTube TRIGGERnometry channel: "This Will Be The Nastiest,...

Re: Credit card sized one shot pistol
A friend bought a Switch .22 mag repeater. He test fired it into the end of an oak log. It bounced off barely leaving a dent. I'm with Puma Guy. If I were going to go with something of a similar ilk I think it would be the Bond Arms Defender ...though at 20 ounces net it isn't exactly credit-card s...

Re: My Bank Account Hates it When New Guns are Announced
My ridiculously long wishlist has had a Wilson Tactical Supergrade on it for, well, a very long time. But it's not likely that I'll ever plop down the $5,700 for one...unless I win the lotto. Just not in the financial bracket where I can spend that much on a carry gun. But I've had three Springer 19...

Re: Can the USPS get any worse?
My most recent credit card reissuance--new expiration date--was an American Express. I never received it, and didn't know exactly when it was mailed. Then I got a potential fraud alert from AMEX that someone had used the card to make a purchase of a few hundred dollars over 70 miles from me. The cha...

My Bank Account Hates it When New Guns are Announced
My danged wishlist is already too long. :shock: But I remain an aficionado of the 1911, and Springfield recently sprang this on us: Springfield Armory® is proud to announce six new models to the most well-known and celebrated family of 1911’s in the lineup. The TRP™ series offers fully featured plat...

Re: Ranges in DFW that allows active shooting training
Dallas Pistol Club. It’s a private club though. Dallas Pistol Club is a great pistol club and a great group of people, but it should be said that they also have a great many peculiar range rules due to city requirements. Alas, with encroaching urban sprawl, I think there's pressure on a lot of rang...
