Re: Old Colt Warhorse - 1949
That is one beautiful firearm. I refer to the older pistols as 100 year guns, knowing they will last well over 100 years. I have my father’s Colt Model 357 and his Colt Super 38 both manufactured in 1956 with original box and probably less than 100 rounds fired out of each Colt. The Colt in your pic...

Re: Guns of the HPD (Houston Police)
I cannot add too much more to what has been covered but, when I was a cadet in the HPD academy (early 80’s, we had limited choices) and the most popular was the S&W model 19 due to a price break. We bought our own duty firearm. As a rookie you could only carry a wheel gun, no automatics. Stemmed...

Re: Mark Kelly's dog attacks and kills baby sea lion in Cali
Everyone is looking at this wrong. Takes Mark's point of view. It is not the dog but the number of teeth the dog had at one time that caused such damage. An average adult dog has between 30 to 42 teeth depending on the breed. You need to limit the number of teeth the dog can have in its mouth. The (...

Re: NRA Life Upgrade - Now Without Sponsor
January 16th I signed up, and my card STILL hasn't been charged. I signed up a day before you and mine was charged the following day. Very strange. Called and signed up for Life Membership on January 15th, cc charged January 22nd, no update on NRA member info. Still plan to wait another week. I exp...

Re: NRA Life Upgrade - Now Without Sponsor
I will have to agree they must be backlogged. I called and submitted my information on January 15th. The cc charge did not appear until the 22nd and the NRA web site does not show any status change, yet. I will guess they will be caught up in short time.

Re: NRA Life Upgrade - Now Without Sponsor
I hope I upgraded my membership to NRA Life. However, ask more questions.
They did not ask for my member number and now I think I should have asked more questions.

Re: One child reportedly dead after gunman opened fire
From listening to current reports the weapons used were a; Glock, Sig Sauer and a Bushmaster.
Will expect much more focus on teh Bushmaster once the media figures out what it looks like.

Re: Free Advice - Do not do business with TGSCOM
I am not defending TGSCOM but thought I would share a similar incident. A while back, I ordered a pistol from a company that I knew they did not have the pistol in stock. However, they were willing to sell it at a price I was willing to pay even if I had to wait a little extra to get the pistol. The...

Re: Officers daughter shot by sibling as they wait in car.
:iagree: I believe in teaching children about guns at an early age. . Completely Agree. When I was young, my father taught me not only about firearms but provided a memorable demonstration. He did secure his firearms and did teach me how to use a firearm at a young age. Today I have two of his firea...

Re: Just Mailed in the forms!
Still pleased that I found the status had changed to mailed when I checked early Wednesday morning this week. So, I knew to give it a few days.
Mail arrived at the house. just bills and junk mail. oh well, maybe Saturday.
