    North Texas Ranges and Shooting Spots

    Hi everyone, It has been a year since I have been on this forum but I didn't forget about y'all. Last anyone knew, I was moving back to Texas with no job, everything I can fit into my little car and the grace of God. Well, needless to say, I have been busy. I found a job that pays almost...

    Why No Other 30 Carbine Rifles?

    There are a few other firearms that use the .30 carbine round. There are even some pistols. I personally want an AMT AutoMag III just to have it in my collection. I actually got to fondle one at a gun shop once. Too bad I didn't have the money. Would have been a cool toy. Here is a little bit...

    What to do with my $300

    I would go with the 10/22 unless you are not opposed to reloading equipment. Reloading is the best investment I have made in the shooting sports. You really can save a lot of money by reloading. You also have more money for more GUNS!

    Acquired a "tire checker" this week

    I would look up my state laws if I were you and any states you may travel through in the near future.

    Does Your Range Allow Plinking?

    At the club I belonged to in MA, we could shoot little stuff like clay pigeons or a can on a string. People brought stuff to shoot at, though. Some people obeyed the rules and others didn't. The main reason for no plinking is that people would lean stuff up against the target stands and shoot up...

    Proud owner of a new Glock 19

    I am glad to hear that you like your new pistol. I have many pistols, but not even one single plastic gun. I am thinking, in good time, I will get a Glock and try it out. They can be had cheap enough; there is no reason not to have at least one in my collection.

    Example of why I do not pocket carry

    I was on a job interview last week at a company very interested in my employment. I don't own a suit jacket, so I did not wear one. I would not wear one anyhow in the 95F weather we just had here in TX. I have the options of carrying IWB or in the pocket. I usually carry a .38 in the pocket...

    Human Nature and the Second Amendment

    Firstly, People come in different flavors. There are the easily complacent and there are the questioners of the world. The need for strict rule is nothing more than an insecurity. People are a social animal by nature and often require other people to interact with; thus they gather in groups and...

    Insane clerk at pawn shop

    I would stay away from that store in the future. When in a store, I don't expect everyone in a store to have perfect gun safety etiquette but I do expect the first thing they do with a gun is to check if it is loaded. I also do not enjoy having a gun pointed at me. I do not mind as much, being...

    Example of why I do not pocket carry

    While under that much stress, any untrained average person loses a lot of fine motor skills. Drawing a weapon becomes more difficult and requires some thought after adrenaline has kicked in. Drawing a gun perfectly is a matter of stance and muscle memory. If you can quick draw while standing up...

    Which rifle caliber do you use for HD?

    An AK-47 in 7.62x39 is what I have chosen if I need to use a rifle for HD. I don't own an M4 in .223 yet but that would be my other choice for a rifle. Pistol is either a .38SPL or .45ACP.

    Vandalism in westcliffe

    If I were a burglar and I broke into a house and no one was home, but they had a video system going, my first thought would be "thanks for the video equipment." I vote dog; big, mean, scary, defense dog. I had a German Shepherd mix at my last house and he let us know when anyone got even close...

    Another Walmart Ammo thread

    Does anyone know if this is a supply or if it is a demand side occurrence?

    Ricochet - Sometimes it hurts.

    Glad to hear that you are OK. I would still go to the doctor, though. I hate going to the doctor's office too, but that looks bad. I think what people shoot in steel matches is lead bullets. Personally, I would never shoot a FMJ at a steel target. I have shot computer hard drives (aluminum)...

    My new old Armalite AR-180!

    Looks like a cool gun. Too bad you had problems with yours and that parts are scarce. It would be nice to have one in my collection some day.

    Does everyone in your house know how to shoot

    Since I live alone right now, I would have to say yes. When my mother lived with me, I had her get a CCW and gave her my CZ-82 to carry and use for protection. I am sure it is still in her dresser drawer loaded and ready to go. She was not really interested in carrying a gun to begin with, but...

    How to Answer this Anti Point?

    The way I interpret the second amendment and its purpose is to keep a well regulated militia. A militia is kept in regulation to be a fighting force when and if it is needed. In order to be effective against an attack by an assumed military or similar force, a militia must have comparable...

    How Do You Justify, In Your Mind, Large Gun Collections?

    When purchasing a new firearm, I take into account many aspects of what and why I am buying it. Ultimately, I know that it is a financial investment and there is opportunity cost involved. I usually don't buy ordinary guns to begin with but if I do, I usually consider its purpose over...

    Results of the .380 Up close and personal...

    Sadly, a member at the club I belonged to in MA decided to take his life with a .45ACP at the range. I can't imagine he suffered much and he did not get a second chance. I will leave it at that to avoid making the fine people on this forum vomit his or her dinner into his or her keyboard. I...
