Re: Background Checks Expanded

It’s nothing but a ‘feel good bill’ for the liberals just in time for the election. Admittedly, there are numerous persons setting up at gun shows selling their ‘personal’ guns, that are buying and then putting them up for sale quickly, but unless they start tracking every gun sold at shows, there’...

Re: U S Navy Captain fires gun with scope backwards

It also looks like the captain forgot his ear protection too.

Looking like a fool in publicity photos may be a new WH mandate after Biden put his hard hat on backwards while showing how in touch he is with blue collar types.

Re: Is anyone in charge of technical issues and responding to new member applications?

Another new one for me. I was logged in and replying to a thread this morning and, when I clicked to preview what I'd written I was sent to a page to log-in. I always have the "keep me logged in" option checked, and I understand that sometimes the auth cookie will expire and I have to log...

It should work with any standard full size 1911 frame. You just need to remove the slide stop and the original slide assembly, put the rimfire adapter on the frame, and replace the slide stop.

Re: WLP Resigning, Effective 31-JAN-2024

To be clear, I haven't spoken against the NRA, which I have supported all my life and am currently a patron member. I spoke out against the apparent corruption that has victimized every member of the NRA. Every member should be enraged about what WLP's trial has revealed, and major changes must be m...

Re: WLP Resigning, Effective 31-JAN-2024

This is no time for timidity, and I will share my honest thoughts. I am totally disgusted at what to me looks like deep corruption of the NRA leadership and board members who appear to have allowed, facilitated, and concealed the apparent wanton self serving behavior of the NRA officers, its legal c...

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

The question the FBI should have attempted to resolve is whether or not there was any way the gun could have fired while being held in one hand without pressing the trigger. Whether or not it could fire if dropped or beaten with a hammer is irrelevant to the circumstances being investigated. There a...

Mountain Lion Encounter

This would have been another "hiker mauled by mountain lion" story but it ended differently because the intended victim was prepared and willing to defend himself:

Re: Don’t go to your door at night with a gun in your hand in Harris County

Going to the door with a gun in your hand is a bad tactic anywhere. If you're not going to use a Ring doorbell or other intercom system from somewhere else in the home (best tactic), keep the gun concealed and speak through the door until you establish that the visitor(s) is someone you want to let ...

Re: Mattress - WAY OFF TOPIC

We didn't buy the high end TempurPedic model but we're still very happy with ours. The prices are high but not out of line with other premium mattresses that don't last nearly as long. They also run frequent sales with large discounts. Here's one that's good until Monday: https://www.tempurpedic.com...

Re: Mattress - WAY OFF TOPIC

For my money, TempurPedic is the way to go. My wife has had multiple back surgeries and it's the only mattress she can comfortably sleep on. Be aware that not all "memory foam" products are alike. I've used "memory foam" toppers on guest beds and they're good for about 2 years. T...
