The CGI Ukraine Action Network is the result of a collaboration between Hillary Clinton and Olena Zelenska, first lady of Ukraine, Arrrgghhh, just more grift. Zelenska doesn't give a flip about Ukraine, she's too busy going shopping with Kate Middleton. Keeps her busy so her billionaire husband can...

Re: FL: Husband shoots robber inside house beating his wife.

Holy crap. This is a good example of the kind of lunatics running around loose out there. This guy smashes a front door window with a rock at 3 a.m. and starts beating up this guy's wife, gets shot in the shoulder and takes off running..... straight to another house and attempts to break in there, t...

Re: Deputy Shot - Return 12 Rounds of Fire

If you feel he is still a threat and is running toward others, etc, then you have the legal justification to use force, including deadly force, to stop him You would have to be very, very, very, very careful, because you'd have to convince a jury that such was the case. I can see, for example, shoo...

Re: Deputy Shot - Return 12 Rounds of Fire

My CHL instructor cited many instances where this happened - LEOs emptying their magazines point blank and missing every shot. Happens all the time. I think a LOT of people out there have utterly no clue what it's like to be in this situation. You can't see, you can't think, you can't move, you can'...

Re: Frisco - Brain surgeon shot at 8 PM with the family home awake.

I'm good with that shoot, but I've often wondered about the legality of "holding somebody at gunpoint" like that, if he tries to leave. So the perp says "OK, OK, I'll leave...." and starts to leave, so you shoot him....? I'm wondering if a prosecutor could go to town with that.

Re: No place but New York

I would likely think him a bigger hero if he tried to help me without the gun. Well, yeah... I'd think of him as a bigger hero if he tried to help you blindfolded with both hands tied behind his back, while whistling "Stars and Stripes Forever" backwards. And think, these people are regis...

Re: TX: Sheila Jackson Lee

It's dismaying that people like her, AOC, Tlaib, et. al. can get elected and re-elected in this country.

But who knows.... it's entirely possible that some 9/11 - kind of event (only maybe much bigger) will slap them in the face and wake them up.

Re: Red Dot (or green dot) pistol optics

If you wear glasses, especially with a relatively strong prescription and some astigmatism, the lens can also "smear" the red dot.

Re: WSJ: Disaster preparedness on the increase

We're not hardcore preppers per se, but over the past year or so the subject comes up of just being more prepared for whatever might happen. I guess the triggering event was the big freeze in February 2021. We had no water (water well was frozen) and electricity was on and off for several days. We'v...

Re: Gavin Newsom Signs 23 New California Gun Laws

What are some good refutations of this last paragraph?
"The Golden State is ranked #1 for gun safety and last year experienced a death rate 43% lower than the national average. Over the last decade, gun laws helped save 19,000 Californians. "

Re: Texas Vehicle Inspection

We get our regular inspections at a little backyard garage down the road. $7.50. I was wondering, where does that $7.50 go? Does he get a certain percent, and the rest to the state, or what?
