NEVER RELAX! There have been many victories this physical year, both nationally and on the state level. BUT... Liberals do NOT "get it", and they are working for control, including the UN. We are NEVER safe, we law-abiding, common-sensical gun owners and users. Is that a shame, in...

Amen, GEM... I recall how the gun-grabbing/banning libs, THOUGHT they would have a "poster child" in Ms. Susan Grantia... thanks to her good sense, and reason, NOT!!! I am so sad that Ms. Grantia-Hupp, has decided to retire from the Texas Legislature... wrote her a couple of months or more ago...

Texan With CHL Well, I definitely do not carry every day: my employer (state of Texas agency) prohibits us from having firearms even in the parking lot at work, much less on our person... (Since we're a "targeted agency", for terroristic attack, according to Homeland Security and the FBI...

Bob F... Hee hee, LIKE your post! That ol' aluminum buckshot would really tear up a pumpkin, I'm sure... LOL... I'm just wanting to be safe, should I ever have to either brandish, or my God forbid, FIRE. Perps and pumkins, in the end... well, two different things. I LIKE the idea and...

mec, Sir... A functional, well-maintained 1911 or 1911A1, is SAFE in Condition 1 carry (cocked and locked). You are correct: that ol' single-action JMB pistol, has ONE EXTRA safety--the grip safety. Don't want to get reprimanded here off the shotgun deal in this thread, but, if a 1911 or 1911A1...

All Y'all, sm... mec... sm, Sir, YES: this, a very, very interesting and informative thread, one I might have missed except for JE223's eye-catching title for the thread... having spent the better part of a year, becoming intimately acquainted with what is now my personal favorite handgun and...

This is all very interesting... I have a Mossberg Persuader pump 12 gauge. Obviously it's not a weapon I carry around much, being a CHL holder and not traveling much where I could transfer the shotgun to my motel room very... um, inconspicuously, whereas my .45s are no problem there. I live in...

For carry, shooting, handling... any of my current three and soon to be four 1911 platforms. Edge favorite for all is my Springfield Mil-Spec in ss; although, my RIA and my Colt 1911/1918 mfg. are close seconds, though don't like to shoot my ol' Black Beauty too much, out of respect for her age...

Doug... Well, as you know, we Texas CHL holders are required to keep our handguns concealed in public so that a "reasonable" adult cannot see that we are carrying. However, I believe as you do that a motel/hotel room, as long as we are inside that, is legally considered "our residence"...

carterbeauford... GOOD ONE, Bro! Hee hee... in the seriousness of the thread, among us NRA members, that's a good one... it's almost disguised, too, almost not like an ad... "small print", if it's the one I'm thinking of! Hey, though, GI45 Springer... that's the next one I'm adding to my...

I'm Pretty Careful On the I-net, BUT... ...I'm somewhat surprised that the NRA would do this. No, they don't have my SSN or anything like that... and I'm a Life Member, do very little business with them on-line except occasionally the NRA Store. Changed my magazine subscription a year and a...

Agree With Nelson If You Want A 1911A1 Platform... I've bought two Springers; two RIAs (Rock Island Armory); and one Colt USGI 1911 that was manufactured in mid to late 1918. They are ALL good 1911/A1s. My Rock and my currently owned Springer are 100% reliable, FMJs, SJHPs, Blazer aluminum...

Amen, Wolf... ...there y'all go. Exactly. Actually, since vehicles and physicians cause more deaths in America, than firearms, shouldn't we OUTLAW cars and pickups and trucks and doctors???? Just a tongue in cheek thought! To make a point. Y'all all take care. Mick

Cliff47... Quote: I credit the governor of the State of Minnesota for this one: 'Gun control is putting ten rounds (check me on the count) in the SAME HOLE'. That also includes breath control, and trigger control. By the way, that particular governor was a SEAL. Whatever God/god in...

Actually... Thank You ALL! Very, very good points... actually... I saw a little humor in the first two (Dubya occasionally has more challenges with our English language than I do!)... Far as the outright Constitution and Bill of Rights, I think Mr. Clinton may have been worse on them. Just my...
