    CCW in Texas (Specifically Dallas area)

    Check doors for the 30.06 sign (quoted below). Those areas are no go with a gun. Other "no gun" signage don't carry the force of law, though you can be charged with trespassing if you're told to leave and don't. Haven't noticed too many of those, but many movie theaters have them up, along with...

    Ringed Razel

    My custom Ringed Razel. Sharp, quick, and versatile. The front edge is great for the tasks where you need something sharp, but don't want to chip the thinner main edge. The sheaths that the Graham Brothers provide with them are also excellent. Completely agree with 22-rimfire there is a bit...

    The new ZT0550 Hinderer!!

    ZT does MAP, so lowest advertised price is going to be right at $200. If ZT's reputation holds, it should be very competitive performance wise with Strider's offerings in that size class. Steel frames in this size class get heavy fast. The ZT350 tips the scales at 6.2 oz. Ti construction can...

    "Best" FMJ SD Caliber

    .380 ACP, truncated cone bullet construction. ~ 20" of penetration in gelatin which should be sufficient. If the bullets ain't expanding, I want to be able to put as many of them down range as quickly and accurately as possible.

    Grayman Knives West Nile Warrior w/Gator Grips

    It's a chisel ground blade, so the blade edge won't be along the centerline of the knife.

    This should make your blood boil.

    Yeah it does. Zero tolerance policies were created in response to statistics that showed white children were getting lesser punishments for the 'same' offense when compared to minority children. Schools pretty much have to take administrators out of the loop to avoid getting nailed in disparate...

    In your opinion what is the best non-firearm weapon?

    Versatility? Nope. Lethality? Yep. Range? Kinda.

    Need an assisted opener with index finger operation

    The RAM is not an AO knife. The sliding button on the side actuates the lock for the blade.

    Cold Steel S/R knife vs Kabar classic USMC 5 inch short

    There's a "hunting, fishing, and other sporting activities" exception to the law on carry of knives, so blade length isn't an issue if you're (legally) doing one of those activities.

    What's become of the HK XM8?

    The XM8 was supposed to replace the SAW too. There were four proposed variants that were supposed to serve as personal defense weapons, assault rifles, designated marksman rifles, and squad automatic weapons. Unsurprisingly, the proposed XM8 variants pretty much mirror the available variants for...

    A Garand and a cigarette is all this guy need

    By American teenager, Bubba613 meant American teenage girl. Even now, average height of a Vietnamese male is 5'4". Back in the 70's, the average male was even shorter at around the 5'2" range. Once you get into that size range, the Garands' ergonomics are a nightmare and the M1 Carbine is a...

    Why the clip?

    Conwict isn't that far off though. I've seen very few folders among the college and young professional crowd and get a lot of raised eyebrows when they see me using one. I also get quite a bit of "is that even legal?" A bit odd considering that it is Texas and folder carry is a common sight at work.

    Why the clip?

    For me, pocket space. Without a clip, my knife would be in my front right pocket tangled up in my keys. I could shift it over to my left front pocket, but there isn't enough space there because that's where I keep a flashlight, cell phone, and spare magazine. Back pockets don't work either as...

    Opinions needed: Kershaw Blur

    Blurs come in a variety of steels. The older mass production Blurs come in 440A, which is workable but likely not your best option. It'll get reasonably sharp, easy to sharpen and is more resistant to rust than most blade steels. On the downside, it's soft and edge holding isn't that great...

    ESPN 103.3 dallas anti gun spew

    Unless he said more than that, I don't see what's anti-gun. Sure it's opinionated and might be out of step with this forum's collective mindset, but anti-gun? Truth is, most people with carry permits don't carry, Greggo certainly isn't unique in this. This is especially relevant in Texas where...

    Cost Effective Knives

    Knifetests.com has a lot of hard/extreme/destruction testing on relatively inexpensive knives. Good bets on the inexpensive side (< $50) include Cold Steel's Bushman and GI Tanto, Ka-bar's Heavy Bowie, and Buck's Nighthawk.

    Guess at number who CC nationwide?

    Rates seem to run between 1-5% of total population for states with carry laws. A quick back of the envelope calculation says that (300 million (US Pop) - 60 million (CA + NY Pop)) * 3% = 7 million or so permit holders. The number of people that actually carry on a daily basis though is much...

    M&P .45 ACP thumb safety question

    You can remove the thumb safety without any issues. It's pretty much the same as the lock assembly on other M&Ps and can be removed by knocking out the roll pins that hold the action in the frame, removing the action, and removing the safety bits. All the safety does is block the trigger bar...

    Looking for a knife of MicroTech Quality level

    The ZT300/301/302 might be up your alley if you're looking for a production blade. Both of mine have solid lockups with zero vertical/horizontal blade play. No issues with spine whacks either. It's a large folder though and is rather similar to the P3AT in both size and weight. About the same...
