Texas A&M Convocation Ceremony

The wife and I went to visit the kiddos at A&M yesterday, especially for the youngest child's Convocation. After lunch, etc, we pulled into the parking garage. I got out of the truck and got this strange feeling about CC in Reed Arena, so I disarmed and secured my weapon. While they were not wan...

Re: Political Capital-Prohibited Places vs Constitutional Carry

I would like to see a law passed like they did in Tennessee where a businesses can be sued if someone is hurt/killed in a "gun free" zone. It's my opinion that if the business takes away my right to defend myself, then they're assuming that responsibility. And if they fail to do so, they c...

Re: TX: Lockhart hot air balloon with 16 on board burns and crashes - no survivors

Keith, I read the balloon was found detached away from the basket with the vent open. Would that indicate he might have landed into the lines?

Texas A&M dorm room safe requirement

We were at New Student Conference this week. The facilities manager spoke to the new law, and A&M's response. His overall response was positive, saying they were following State law. One thing piqued my interest: LTC holders living in dorms must purchase or lease a specific gun safe from a speci...

Re: Odors/Fragrances That Evoke Youth

I spent high school and college working in Ace Hardware stores. I can walk into any mom-n-pop Ace store today, and the smell instantaneously takes me back in time....40 years later.

Re: What ya'll say on this snake ?

I leave all snakes alone. They are part of the balanced Eco-system.

Color me crazy, but why kill what isn't trying to harm you?

Hawaii

My brother-in-law and his wife are re -arranging life to move to Hawaii. They're both long time Michiganders.... He keeps telling me "Dude, once you visit, you will live here too".

Then I looked up their gun laws.

PASS.

No way I'd ever live there. God Bless Texas.

Re: Emergency Food … Preparedness

A lot of great info here. My only add is this: If an event happens that is truly bad, say the electric grid goes down, society will come unhinged within days, not weeks. A growling generator four days into said event is a beacon leading right to you. How will you hold onto what is yours, especially ...
