Re: Forget the gun show, go to the barbed wire show

This reminded me that I have a little antique board with 4-6 similar samples of different types of barbed wire on it that I got from my grandpa when he passed away twenty years ago. I need to find where it is, it'd go great in my son's room.

Re: Computers, Internet, Dating and more!

Remember? Why are you guys using the past tense? IRC is still active with thousands and thousands of chat rooms. MIRC is probably the most popular IRC software but some browers can do IRC too.
I haven't logged into IRC for 11-12 years. I used to use it at work and also had a combination chat ...

Re: This Day In Texas History - January 28

And on this day in 1996, the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XXX. If only I'd known then what the next 20 years would bring, maybe I would have tried to enjoy it just a little bit longer.

Re: OC versus CC

Anyone ever run into this before?
My wife surprised me at the Fort Worth Stock Show by trying on some OC shoulder rigs and asking for one. She thinks it will be much more comfortable and would get her to carrying on her person instead of in her purse. (She knows all of the reasons that purse carry ...

Re: Computers, Internet, Dating and more!

We are grossly overregulated as it is and need to be heading in the opposite direction - towards liberty.

By the way, the Internet is off limits to some people that lost their right through due process in the criminal justice system (Mitnik was banned for several years as part of his plea deal). I ...

Re: SS Gabrielle Giffords Christened As Navy’s First Gun-Free Warship

It would be funnier if it didn't take until the end of the article for me to realize this is a satire site. It was a little too believable.

Re: Walmart Sells "Seconds"?

Unfortunately, some of my college tuition was paid using commission checks from Circuit City and Sears. . .

Why unfortunately? You were employed and being paid, you weren't paying with someone else's tax dollars.
lol - just adding a brief editorial to the story. . .

I definitely don't miss ...

Re: Walmart Sells "Seconds"?

I can't speak to this topic regarding guns.

In electronics, the manufacturers commonly produce different models numbers for the different stores. Unfortunately, some of my college tuition was paid using commission checks from Circuit City and Sears. . . I noticed the following things:

Re: Houston Galleria

Just a fair warning that the term carries a stigma among some groups. I'm not a card carrying member of the PC police, but I'd expect the term could have negative consequences, especially at work. It can be viewed as a pejoratively racist term, and a quick Google search shows that some of the people ...

Re: Ruger LCP $250 at Academy

Very tempting. I think that I've been needing a pocket gun. Is there anything else in this size that's better? My friend loves his, and the price seems really nice.
I've never shot anything in this category (micro .380s), so I'll let somebody else chime in with first hand opinions. Since seeing ...
