Surviving Ike Hey Springmom...I feel your pain. Here in Cypress I lost my chimney (and I was worried about the Dish coming off...) and have a nice gaping hole and wet carpet to deal with. Luckily I was able to pull most of the wet stuff before the mildew-y smell kicked in. Tarped the hole...

Why? The Luby's shooting put the thought in the back of my mind. My Father, before he passed away, was pushing for me to get my CHL when they became available. I didn't really put much thought into getting my CHL until I was harrassed by a co-worker about 8 years ago. His showing up at my...

backyard visitors? Cougfan, A year or so ago, I put the dogs outside after I got home from work and 2 of the 3 corgi's immediately started tracking a scent between my gate and the back door. I started looking around and found a cellophane wrapper from a cig. pack near my gas meter (it's...

Tactical class in Houston Try Hoffner's (Houston) they travel also. www.hoffnerstactical.com I took the ladies tactical class and was impressed with the professionalism of the staff and how everyones skills improved after the 2 day class. Tass

SS stance... I recently attended a two day tactical pistol class (for ladies only) and this was our 'hands ready' position, kinda preacher-ish. Foot position was about shoulder width apart, knees flexed and weight was more concentrated on the ball of the foot. We then practiced rapid draw and...

partial solution I called the electric company and requested they install one of the remote reading devices, I was told a tech. would call within 8-10 days to make an appt. blah, blah, blah...the new meter was installed by the time I got home. That is probably the last time anyone will ever...

digital cameras Thanks for the suggestions....i've looked into installing the meter that will allow the meter-reader guys to read remotely from the street (unfortunately, I use a different service provider so the back and forth over who is responsible for the request has started). I'm dreading...

Hello all, Any opinions on the use of the motion activated 'deer cameras' to capture images of people entering/leaving property? I'd prefer a camera that feeds to a video recorder in the house but they are cost-prohibitive right now. I've had trouble with my back gate being left open...

See link...mystery about the id of a man shot after a car chase in Houston. One article (link below) says officers knew the man had his CHL. Questions about whether or not he was working for an intelligence agency are all over the local news. Local offices of the FBI and CIA have reportedly...

carry choices... I started with a Charter Arms .38 special (it was free...) I even qualified for my CHL with it (re-qualified later with a semi). I now also have a Kel Tec .380 and a Glock 26. I enjoy shooting the 9mm, the .380 is my least favorite, but it is more concealable (5' tall...

How do you carry IWB on same side as you carry a shoulder bag? I'm concerned i'm printing, or worse the bag will hang up, because the purse stops just above my pistol (Kel Tec .380). I know the logical thing would be to switch shoulders for the purse or carry over wrist (or horrors-get a...

Dogs as EWS.... I have a co-worker who has a 90 lb. rottie who stays in the backyard-"for protection". My reply was her backyard is certainly safe from bad-guys. (now if you live in a rural area, an outside dog is another line of defense.) As a volunteer with a local rescue, one of the...

Tass.... as in Smar*Tass! Given to me by my Father, many years ago.

Howdy Texas! I've had my CHL for about a year now. I started and currently carry a .38 special revolver. Love it, am able to shoot consistently, but it is not as concealable as I would like (for me). It is a bit heavy when in the handbag, and a bit bulky when IWB. I am looking for a...

uncomfortable situation Christmas night I was returning home after visiting with friends and I stopped for gas at a well lit/used station. Two other cars gassing up and two cars parked in front of store. I was at the pump farthest from the store glancing around at the other folks out on a...

Just got home....very odd movie. Did not realize it would be a "based on actual events" commentary on the politics of gun-running. Anyone else see this one? Should have followed the lead of the Nat'l Guard folks who went into Flightplan. Tass

fellow Rita hold-outs Hi OneShooter and fellow Houstonians! (I'm in Cypress also) For me, the storm was only a wind event, not even 1/4" of rain....lost power for a few hours, the dogs even slept through the thing. Plain old summer storms have caused more problems for me! To keep on...

They're here! Received today...they look great! Thanks, Tass

Thanks for the input... I've been able to practice a few more times and am starting to get the feel of a Semi-A. Thanks for your insight! Tass

When I tested for my CHL (Texas), it was with a revolver (Charter Arms .38sp). I am getting certified next week to carry a semi-auto. I've been to the range twice with a friends .45 Semi-A and keep pulling slightly off center to the right. The instructor feels I am using too much of my finger...
