Re: WSJ: Disaster preparedness on the increase
I have been wondering something, and would like to get comments on the following scenario: People have sometimes constructed a "safe room" against tornados. If their house took a direct hit from a tornado, the rest of the house could collapse upon the safe room. How would the occupants ale...

Re: Gun Auction Fever
Around January 2020, I had published a thread entitled "Kaufman County, TX auction, 1-23-20". I was able to access it today to read it, but I guess because it was in "Locked" status, I could not link it to this thread. The late strogg (rest in peace brother) and I attended a gun ...

Re: Another Meme Thread
In the 10/1/23 Dallas Morning News, someone made a comment about Elon Musk's move to Texas. It went something like this: "Texas was definitely alluring, but Dallas was a little TOO MUCH TEXAS, so the decision was made to go to Austin" . Living in the DFW area, sometimes I feel like Dallas ...

Need to ID a snake? Send a pic to the # listed below.
I was reading an article about snakes, and their version of hibernation (umbration? sp?) once the weather cools a lot further. At the end of the article was a nice useful piece of information. DFW Wildlife Control offers to ID a snake if you text them a picture. Snap a pic, then text it to 817-606-7...

TX executions. <1924, 254 counties. >1923, Huntsville only.
[urlhttps://www.txexecutions.org/history.asp][/url] The above link is the history of the Texas death penalty. Until 1923, anyone sentenced to death in Texas was hung in the county in which he was convicted. Legislation was passed in 1923, outlawing this situation. Starting in 1924, all executions we...

OK, so most of the discussion so far in this thread has been about the "speed trap" ID of the town, and the number of police officers. I didn't watch the above video links, but I did see a video somewhere that discussed the hinky backgrounds of the Coffee City police officers. They lost th...

Re: New Mexico Carry Ban
per grayling 813's post above: Didn’t the Supreme Court rule on this after the War of Republican Aggression? Your quote above does not state what year the above ruling was made. It mentions the 50 states, so if accurate, the ruling would have to occur after August 21, 1959 or later, when Hawaii bec...

Re: Just ordered a Tucker HF1
Although I admire the beautiful workmanship of the holster featured above, I would not spend the money to get one that nice.
Reason?
I have an OWB, black leather, for my Kimber 1911. The seatbelt has scuffed the heck out of it. Just seems to be the way things go.

Too many guns? Heck, I don't consider myself to be an overstocked pistolero, but I have 7 handguns.
