    300 Win Mag vs Hogs... Does bullet "really" matter?

    Another consideration: are you looking for a wall-hanger or meat? TX hogs can get really big - I've killed two in the 350 pound range. The problem with those is that they can be pretty nasty, as hogs that size can and will eat anything. One of those lived next to a game ranch from which he...

    Half price books

    And I thought it was just because my HPB was in Austin, where just about everything but the gun stores is posted.

    Can you load a +P charge in .38 Spec brass?

    Thank you! That was what I suspected, but we all know that "what I suspected" isn't the standard to use when reloading! My books are in my workshop. But I will look up which one told me about FMJ's and post that back here tomorrow.

    Can you load a +P charge in .38 Spec brass?

    Not talking about a magnum charge, but my reference materials say to only load lead, not FMJ, at normal loads, that jacketed bullets should have a +P charge to avoid a bullet getting stuck in the barrel. My question is this: I have lots of .38 Special brass; do I have to sort out rounds...

    The Justice Exists for Us All Act

    "Not completely rational" is an understatement... From a war-is-bad-why-can't-we-just-get-along speech in Congress, "now we have two Vietnam Nams, living in peace, side by side." From a question to a JPL official about the Mars Rover program, "Will it be able to show us the flag left behind by...

    The Justice Exists for Us All Act

    Queen Sheila is a huge idiot. Unfortunately, springmom and I just got Gerry-mandered INTO her district with the last redistricting. OTOH, now that I'm a constituent I can show up at her town hall meetings and raise a little Hell. :-)

    NRA Show, Houston Texas. Going?

    Springmom and I were there for the members meeting and exhibits today. Great time, even if we did have to park on the far side of the baseball stadium. The meeting was great, and I was proud to vote in the elections. I even got to make a small speech suggesting an amendment to one of the...

    Response from Groupon

    Got the exact same letter. I wonder how many they have to send before they get it that they have P.O.'d a lot of people they didn't need to, and compare that number to the "enough" that supposedly "voiced concern" (and why does my BS detector go off on reading that oh-so-vague phrase?)

    Let Pennsylvania Senator Pat Toomey Know How You Feel

    When I called before the vote I told his staffer I would contribute to his primary opposition if he voted to take away our rights. Now I'm waiting and watching to see if the state party or grassroots can put up a candidate this Texan can help out.

    New York State Ban - We need your help as well as other states

    Still 94% after 15,000+ votes, and the comments are a very good read for the most part.

    Where does the "90 per cent support expanded background checks" number come fro

    I keep getting that number thrown up at me and would love to have solid facts with which to refute it, if possible. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks

    My letter to Skyline Chili

    I'd bet it was the corporate counsel, afraid that if the company doesn't forbid guns then they are potentially liable for damages if a gun is ever used in one of their restaurants. That kind of idiocy will never go away until some company is successfully sued by someone who convinces a jury...

    Chance to tell Obama your stories...

    Organizing for America, the Obama perpetual-motion campaign machine, is soliciting "stories of gun violence" to be. Passed on to congress to pressure them into voting for His Majesty's gun control proposals. I think we can have some fun with this and maybe slip one in on them. Here's the...

    Texas legislative session - 2013

    Some of those are long overdue, most especially the clarification of unintentional display vs. "brandishing". I will be all over my rep and senator about these. Thanks for posting.

    Shot Heard 'Round the World

    The biography of John Adams by David McCullouch covers this and much more as it tells the life story of a patriot, our second President and an honorable man. Very well-written to be an easy read, I highly recommend it. McCullouch's other work, "1776" tells the story of that pivotal year in...
