    I had to have a safe drilled today - No cheap locks!

    It is a no-name safe you embed in concrete, if you get my drift. So I have to live with what I have. There is no name on it now, it was sitting in the show room of a local safe company. I want it repaired so opened it professionally. If I didn't care about it, I would have opened it myself.

    I had to have a safe drilled today - No cheap locks!

    I could not get a safe open yesterday no matter what I did so had to have a safe tech drill the lock. It was a no-name cheap dial. After getting in, he found that a part in the lock mechanism broke. Between drilling and replacing the lock, it will be $600 because the original dial is in a...

    Dad's rifles were stolen last month (true story)

    Saxon seems a little beyond the pale, but it is my understanding that if you get burgled once and they get good stuff, they keep coming back expecting you to replace what they got the first time with more good stuff. I have heard of two local cases like this that got hit three times, every...

    CCW Purse? Reviews?

    I believe my wife has a Galco. It was expensive but quality. It is several years old but still looks new. To answer your questions: Small guns! She has a Bursa Thunder Plus .380 in there and that is pushing it for size. The bigger the gun, the more difficult it is to pull it out of the...

    Have a CHL? Skip the metal detectors in Austin

    Come down here and be one more vote demanding it. I think Perry is going to get re-elected and we should have OC in another legislative session or two.

    What laws can be justified?

    I have to point out, by that definition, conspiracy to commit a crime is "victimless" and yet is very much illegal. Should that law be gutted too?

    What laws can be justified?

    I agree with the underlying sentiment, in general, but in practice I don't think society can really afford to lock all felons up for the rest of their lives. That being reality, instead we give them a "probation" of sorts - Show you can follow the rules and you can stay out of jail. I would...

    What laws can be justified?

    In some jurisdictions at least, it is illegal to carry burglary tools. See this story for example. Now in this example the guy already had outstanding warrents so was going to get picked up, but imagine he didn't have warrents. The police would have nothing to pick the dude up with, and...

    What laws can be justified?

    This quote is from the "Are we fighting the wrong battles?" thread: This line of thinking is genereally boils down to gun laws don't enforce themselves, so why have them. But then most laws don't enforce themselves. Is there any reason why I can't substitute a word from the quote above and...

    Can H.O.A.s Ban Guns? Part 2

    The in our city, city ordinances cover all this stuff anyway. I think HOAs are more about controlling the color you can paint your house, can you park in the front of your house, what kind of fence you can have and what color you can stain it, ect. One HOA around here made the news because...

    Can H.O.A.s Ban Guns? Part 2

    Actually he could get more if it cost more than $100 to get someone else to finish the work. Probably not in these cases actually. Why people live in HOA neighborhoods is beyond me. It's the same as moving in to a neighborhood with a huge bully but I guess assuming the bully will only...

    Looking for outdoor range or public access area in the DFW Texas area.

    Most of the story is certainly true, I saw all the news stories at the time. However I don't believe the guy was at a "range". IIRC, he shot into the air at an angle, thinking the bullet would come down in an unpopulated area, but it traveled a little far and was headed down at a steep angle...

    paypal upcharge??

    Sometimes stuff like this gets passed around as fact when it isn't. I am not saying the above is not true, but if it is, please cite the referance. I know people say the same stuff about credit cards when in fact it is not a blanket true statement, as has been shown on this forum.

    22 vs 460 Wtby

    I think people agree that shot placment on an elephant is key. And shot placment with a .22 on a man would also be key. A single shot 460 on an elephant, well placed, probably has the same affect as a single .22 on a man, well placed.

    What is range of 12 ga. No. 8 target loads against an intruder?

    I think the OP needs to pattern his shotgun and decide what is the maximum range of a HD shot. When I patterned #8 in my shotgun, even at 10 feet the spread was 10 inches or so. It was much larger than I would have guessed. Personally I never intended to use #8, I was practicing with it...

    I wish every gun owner would take a CCW class!

    A lot of people "know" the law. Even on obvious mis-perceptions I generally don't bother to attempt to correct such such people anymore because my citing the actual text of the law is less authoritative then what they hear from some guy somewhere. Many people believe what they would like to...

    Dog eat Dog

    People wave insurance around like a magic wand. If my business is insured for $100k, and I get cleaned out by looters, it's not like they just write me a check for $100k. Insurance nickels and dimes and not pays, not to mention the deductable. And ignoring all that, there is the cost of...

    open carry: worth it?

    It's because someone can always pop up with "But something bad could happen" and no final post is going to clear someone's fear. The last couple pages of this thread have been people for OCing asking the other side to boil the reasons against OCing down to something tangible. The people...
