Re: HB Parking Lot Bill and It's Relation to Campus Carry ?

As I read the current penal code it seems like storing in your vehicle is OK in institutions of Higher Education. You just can't take into building ("premise").

The following is verbage from the new proposed bill.
Section 52.061 does not:

Re: Suggestions for a portly man

I'm 5'6'' around 265lbs. I wear a size 40 pant, and had to go to a 42. Definitely look into the CrossBreed Supertuck as others have stated, it is very comfortable to wear. I have one for my Glock 26, and can conceal it with jeans, a white undershirt and T-shirt (both untucked). The extra undershirt ...

Just checked my status and it's stil shows background check under review. Anyone know when they update their system?

With mine, I didn't notice any rhyme or reason to the update pattern. I saw updates in the middle of the day on Tuesday, on Saturday morning, etc. It does seem that they have a ...

Re: Post cleaning routine

If you've used it and have properly maintained it, I think you just have to trust your weapon. If its a good quality weapon, cleaned, properly assembled, and you have good quality ammo, expect it to work.

If your still concerned, carrying two guns will double your chances of having a working gun ...

Re: When Young Guns Invade

If your in the market for a CZ, also consider the RAMI. Its the subcompact version of the 75. Probably a lot easier to conceal than the 75.

Re: A Good Problem

I have the Micro Desert Eagle. It is heavy and painful to shoot (my whole family agrees, it ain't just me). On the plus side, if you run out of ammo you can throw it at someone and make a sizeable dent.

Ohhh...thanks for letting me know that. I had been looking at those because I liked the way ...

Re: A Good Problem

If size and 9mm are your main criteria, you won't get smaller than the Rohrbaugh R9. It is very pricey though I think over $1000. The next step up would be the PM9 from kahr, again very small, but also kind of pricey for a small 9 IMO.

You may want to consider the kel-tec pf9. It is only slightly ...

Re: Guns in Lee Child's "Jack Reacher" novels

Thats actually a small blunder compared to some of the others you see in media today. Bullets that curve 90 degrees in mid flight, revolvers that shoot 20 rounds between reloading, etc... :lol:

I guess it doesn't matter then. I may just stagger the purchases anyway just for privacy.

Buying 2 handguns at once

Having just received my CHL, I'm in the market for some pocket pistols to keep my Glock 26 company. I am looking at a Ruger LCP for EDC and a little Beretta Bobcat 22 for fun and plinking and maybe as an alternate pocket carry (I know, its a 22).

Does anyone know if, when buying two weapons at ...
