In the movies you always remember the line "drop the gun". Last night it was Whoopie Goldberg on TV in Jumping Jack Flash. She has a gun pointed at victims when the police burst in with guns drawn and they say the line. Naturally in the movies to advance the plot Whoopie complies and she i...

I am consumed by this event. This could have been me. I have a Costco card, I used to go there. Not anymore. I have my plastic, I have the .380 pocket gun. I can shoot it really well now. But I still have not carried yet. I am nervous that I am not mentally prepared to react correctly in every possi...

Sorry I didn't post the link, glad everyone was able to find it. (some sites dont want links they want the story posted) Really sad story. There will be no winners here only people hurt. Its amazing how many different directions the eye witness accounts can go. With the officers guns already drawn a...

In what is being described as mad man being killed by police after refusing to put down his gun in Las Vegas, is taking a turn for the worse as it appears a CHL holder was gunned down by police who took his movements as threatening, when maybe he thought he was only complying with their instructions...

The main reason for the post is that the Bayou Rifles range at Addicks dam and Eldrige has been closed now for two weekends because of high water. I really miss shooting. Yes I could drive to the Juliff range but I am lazy and it is a ways South of me. I have never shot at ASC, so I can only talk ab...

There is a horrible video on line I have seen of a jeweler trying to rack the slide while be shot by the BG. He fails to ever get a shot off and dies on the video. The video shows the BG removing the gun from his still warm hand unfired.

If that does not make you a believer nothing will.

This guy is a hero. The CHL was only listed in the newspaper article. TV only said security guard. 3 people besides this guy went to the hospital. The TV coverage looks like this guy was at war, until our hero stopped it. Pretty gutsy move. He is following in his car when he sees it happen and board...

Wow Philip964. That's an amazing story. Thanks for posting it. I think you handled it well as you are here to tell us about it. If you don't mind me asking, how did others (customers and employees) handle it? Sorry for the delay, didn't see the new posts. The employees behind the counter were the o...

and after Katrina our crime rate did not go up, that was an urban myth. From the photo in the link at the beginning of this thread, this crime happened near the Greenspoint mall, AKA Gunspoint mall. Fifteen years ago an armed female deputy sheriff was abducted from the mall, her body was found later...

The photos of the "suspects" were in the paper, apparently that is still legal or PC to publish. If Quanell X is involved you already know the race of the perps.

In a tragic event here in Houston, a man and his family was car jacked apparently for his fancy rims. The father was trying to obey the Bad Guys, but wanted to remove his two small children from the back seat. One of the three Bad Guys then opened up with his AK 47, killing a three year old little g...

Heres a link to the Channel 2 report It has a picture of the "innocent until proven guilty suspect" in case you were wondering. Had to give up his CHL and his gun as part of his bond. http://www.click2houston.com/news/22750812/detail.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return f...

All very good points. However it would be nice to have a headline, CHL holder foils mall massacre once in a while to balance. My view is that just because we have CHL here in Texas, it already has, because those bad guys go to other states or do something else with their spare time. However, I'm not...

Today's paper was filled with terrible stories from yesterday. My sincere sympathy to all the families involved. The road rage shooting, became very personal when I read the murderer was a CHL holder. This is horrible that a CHL holder has murdered a 13 year old girl while chasing them in his car, a...

I like shooting a 9mm especially the Glock 17, but it seems too big to carry. SW, Glock and Walther seem to make nice compact 9mm, I'll look at them again. I was planning on getting a 9mm just for plinking anyway, but I thought it would be the 17. When I took my class I had no gun, I borrowed the in...
