Re: Which of you....

It is a neat bar. Dark an cool and ideal for a hot south Texas day. Here is a quote from sanantonio.com "In downtown San Antonio, the historic Menger Hotel has an equally historic bar where none other than Teddy Roosevelt spent time recruiting men for his Rough Riders. The Menger Bar is a repli...

Re: HELP ME SELECT A HOME DEFENSE 20 GA SHOTGUN

OK, folks, thanks for all the input. It is gonna be a 20 gauge. NOW, which one. I would like to add a +2 magazine extension. I know they are available in 20 gauge for Remington 870/1100 shotguns. How about for Mossberg 505 Youth (20" barrel, 4+1) or 500 Super Bantam(22"barrel, 5+1) I haven...

HELP ME SELECT A HOME DEFENSE 20 GA SHOTGUN

I am currently leaning toward a used 870 youth 20 gauge shotgun for home defense. I am open to other options which have available options for mag extensions, etc. I could also consider a semi auto rather than a pump. The person it is for is a small frame female who has very limited exposure to firea...

GONZALES TELLS FEDS "COME AND TAKE IT"

My wife came across this recently in looking into Gonzales related matters after a lovely visit to that fine town yesterday. The Gonzales Cannon is one of the newspapers there. As you may recall from your Texas history, when the Texians were getting a bit rowdy back in 1835, the Mexican army sent a ...

CARRYING A LONG GUN IN TEXAS

The wording of this case would seem to apply the carrying of long guns in Texas. If the default in Texas is the legal carrying of a long gun, assuming that it is is not done in a manner to cause alarm, it would seem that, absent some other circumstance, it would tend to eliminate the hassle from som...

Re: Bulk .45acp Brass

Take note that this .45 brass has the SMALL primer pocket. Not really a problem, but be aware of that before you order, unless you have enough small primers.

Also take care not to mix it with any .45 brass that has the large primer pockets as this will really slow the reloading process.

I THINK WE DODGED A BULLET

A year ago we were considering who might be an effective conservative candidate of President. One of the people under consideration was Chris Christie. His bold talk and his feisty and combative attitude with the press and NJ legislative opponents were attractive. His conservative fiscal stands soun...

Re: DPS Serial Number Check Strategy

This discussion made me curious. I have been stopped a few times(by DPS, Austin PD, and a couple of others)during the 14 or so years that I have had my CHL and have never been disarmed. I was curious enough that I have filed my very first Freedom of Information request. The text is simple, perhaps t...

If you snickered at HB34 yesterday, you should get a good laugh out of this one.

It addresses carry by certain of...
