This is the crux of it. You're not going to stand there and have a "line by line analysis and discussion" with an LEO putting you in cuffs and taking you downtown.

Re: One shot often doesn't end the threat

Good video, thanks for posting. It's easy to predict how some of those people would I've occasionally toyed with the question of how many shots to fire, as well as how fast to fire them. My instinctive (and regularly practiced) inclination is to instantly whip out the gun and fire 4 or 5 shots as fa...

Good grief. So all those cowboys, ranchers, etc. can't carry their Case pocket knives? Are the promoters from California or something?

Re: House introduces bill to deregulate suppressors

Criminals will now have easy access to these silent death machines...and they will fill our streets. Actually, that's exactly what we'd hear. Just like "assault rifles" are made to "spew death indiscriminately," suppressors (no.... they're "silencers") make a gun go &q...

Re: Pro Gun Supporters have got it Wrong

Also, don't be too sure the government will be able to bring all of that military power to bear on it's own citizens. Remember, our military is 100% volunteer and, as a whole, are largely conservative. Also, approximately 1/3 of all active duty military are from Texas. If the order ever came down t...

Re: Attempted robbers held at gunpoint by good Samaritan

I always wondered about the feasibility of this "holding at gunpoint." So you have a bad guy lying on the ground, and you're holding him at gunpoint. You're saying "stay on the ground!" Or what? If he just says (given that he is now unarmed) "up yours" and starts to sta...

Re: 2017 Legislative Priorities

We've known about this since last session. In fact, I've been letting people know for a good while. The TAB is not in full support and it isn't a major sore spot with the business community. Andrea Bauer wants everyone to believe this, but it's not the case. I certainly hope you're right. I've hear...

Re: Amend the "holster" requirement for OC????

There's bigger fish to fry. I'd leave this one alone. Just my opinion. :iagree: I agree with "holster or pocket" but how about waiting a session or two. A lot of political capital was used to get OC passed and I don't think there is any desire to touch anything related to OC by the legisl...

Re: Amend the "holster" requirement for OC????

I thought the holster requirement was for gun safety and keep someone from carrying gangster style. No, as I understand it, the purpose was to ensure that it's not carried openly in the hand, which is certainly understandable. I agree that the best thing to do would be to strike the words "sho...

Amend the "holster" requirement for OC????

I would like to see an amendment to modify the "holster" requirement for open carry, to include carrying the gun in a pocket. This could be a pants pocket or maybe a purse's side pocket. My 9mms (SIG and Walther) fit perfectly and snugly in the front pockets of my jeans and work pants, wit...

Re: 2017 Legislative Priorities

Our comments are, insofar as I have noticed them, all about expanding our rights. That's a good thing to think about and to be prepared to address. But what if the anti-gunners have an agenda of their own? Has anyone given any thought to what they might try to roll back and how we might counter tha...

Same here. Again, I've never worn an IWB, but some of those things look big as a dinner plate.

Re: New to IWB holsters - can't decide on design

What is more important, comfort or concealment? My advice would be to start with OWB and a cover garment if comfort is a concern. If you, personally, have an issue with negative reactions, or whatever, then get an IWB holster. I would say comfort. Most IWB holsters conceal pretty well by default, e...
