Re: Special Session -- 2013
My personal opinion, without any "special" information, is that the Governor will probably want to get the redistricting out of the way and put to bed before throwing other items into the mix. Redistricting is going to be contentious enough with out bargaining for other items as a distract...

Re: Green Lasers
The Tactical light probably should be the first addition on a home defense shotgun. For home defense situations, target identification is even more critical. Get a high lumen count (125-200) LED light. Even without rails, they can be easily attached to the shotgun. I recommend an LED because they st...

Re: Are HB 508 and SB 1907 the Main Sausage Left
It looks like HB508 was just killed in the House. Words can not describe my disgust with everyone associated with Senator Carona's amendment and the Conference Committee. That being said, I was really proud of some of those who spoke passionately of the responsibility to honor the rights of constit...

Re: Gave away my last box of 9mm for a good cause
That's awesome. Looks like ammo availability is getting better. Between Friday and Saturday I purchased 650 rounds of 9mm from Walmart. I hope you retained ownership rights to the arm and leg. ;-) I am not very smart but occasionally I am lucky. Back in October, before everything went nuts, I felt ...

Re: Dewhurst talks up special session, including gun bill(s)
If Perry brings back campus carry, does it have to be the existing bill (which allows universities to opt out) or can he introduce a different bill with less restrictions? When the current session ends in a couple of days, everything not passed and sent to the governor evaporates. A special session...

Paraphrasing Sen.

Re: Dewhurst talks up special session, including gun bill(s)
I sent two emails to the Governor, one regarding the hope of reviving 3218 type legislation in the special session, since the Senate liked its concept so much that they carved it out for themselves in the process of butchering HB 508, and a separate email suggesting that Campus Carry also be added t...
