So I still have not got my TX CHL. Thats another story. We are now in Austin, in an apartment in what I think is a decent area (on Metric Blvd). My washing machine sprung a bad leak and I am using the laundry room - its a good 100 yards or more away and on my way back from changing the...

I watched probably the last 60% of the Ted Bundy movie on Showtime last night. It was incredibly disturbing and my wife had to leave the room. I thought that from an artistic standpoint, they captued the events pretty well - no creepy music, no build up of tension, just Ted Bundy acting...

Anyone catch their new show on Showtime? Its called BullS...! If the F word and the BS word offend you, do not bother. However, they did a really good job of exposing PETA and what they are all about. Whats cool is that they really know how to twist the knife. Too many times, people...

Kyle Magnum Rees Born 6:00am CST 8lbs 5.6oz 21" Mother and baby are very healthy and happy. Going to be a few years, but when I get him to the range, I will post a write up :)

Well, I am posting this from my Dads house in Sacramento. We flew back to CA for the Holiday. We have decided we are going to move back to CA by mid to late 2004. Too many reasons to list - but that decision has been made. My wife is simply not going to be happy in Texas and as the saying...

Every time I am at the store, I check the gun mags I see to see if any have a piece or a review of the Valtro. They do lots of unique and rare guns and lots of 1911s - but never any Valtro pieces. The cynic in me says its because they don't buy space. Anyone ever see a review of a...

I just landed a really good job with probably the largest financial institution in the country - I am a contractor and I was just told that I will have to be fingerprinted and get a background check. No big deal on the BG check - but fingerprinted? I understand WHY - I am working in network...

I know AGS is supposed to be at best neutral to gun rights. Still, it was an interesting pitch Kiefer Sutherland made at the end of 24 on Tuesday. He said the ep showed dangerous gun handling with tragic results and to be careful and be safe and (of course) keep them locked up. I though...

The J-frame reolvers are pretty small, and you can get a 6 shot .32mag in that size, but how much smaller could you make a 5 shot .32 revolver? What if you made it out of modern, lightweight material and made it with a lower barrel and maybe made it break top/auto eject? I would bet you...

I am not a big knife person. I carry a neat 3 bladed pocket knife (non locking) that my grandfather gave me when I was about 10. Its very handy and sentimental. I have a couple lockback knives that I have carried from time to time - in California I carried one a lot because I would go...

As many know, I made the move from Sacramento PRK to San Antonio TX. I have not got my TX DL yet and I am wondering what I would have to do to buy a handgun here. I know you go in and do the NICS - but if I only have a CA DL, will they sell to me? I have a 13month lease I may be able to use...

I shot 200 rounds through my Valtro a few days ago at the indoor range here in Yuba City, CA. I kind of used the first 100 to "warm up" and then tried to get serious. I was using a #15 target - the one with 5 bulls eyes on it and I was shooting at 7 yards. On average, I think I was...

I called Mr Jardine today to ask about hard chroming my Valtro. He said the polished look is a major pain because there is a ton of hand work to get it looking right (he sait it shows every grain and flaw in the steel). He said he could do it but did not know how long it would take - kind of...

I made about 30 rounds when I first started reloading. They are WAY over crimped and I dont want to shoot them (nor do I have time) and a kinetic puller will not work. Any ideas to dispose of them? Any way to make them inert? I know oil will kill primers, but how to get it in there...

Hi guys, I have found a few threads about airline travel and guns. I know the case has to be hard and locked - but can I use a small pistol box and put it in my suitcase or does it have to be a seperate, discrete item? Also - are any airlines extra cool or extra bad? I am buying my...

I had been storing a lot of tools for my dad while they were between homes with a garage. My parents are staying with my sister while they are in escrow and since we are moving very soon, I moved the tools to my sisters house. Just before I left, my dad says - hey that covers everything...

Well, I have been wanting to leave CA forever. Now it is starting to look not only possible, but probable. My wife has acknowledged a lot of the things I dislike about this place, but she also felt that family was very important for our son. We had planed to move out of Sacramento and go...

A friend of mine has acquired a few firearms from a family member who was unable to store them. Among the guns, he said he has a H&K semi automatic rifle and no magazine. He has it stashed in a safe place right now and is not sure of the caliber. I think it could be a .223 or .308 rifle...

I sold a gun to someone today and after we were done, I checked out the consignment shelf. I saw the most beautiful Smith and Wesson - it was so shiny, I thought it was actually either nickel or chrome in low lighting - but it was just that amazing blued finish that the old ones have. This...

Two parts to this thread really. Here in Sacramento, our humidity is usually just under 20% I have never had a gun rust or much of anything rust that was not under water or something. It stil looks like we are going to move to hopefully either TX or FL (TN is a distant 3rd choice). The...
