A young friend of mine recently got himself into a situation, and I was wondering if anyone with better Texas gun law knowledge than I might be able to provide some advice. He was arrested several weeks ago (I just recently learned of it). He met a girl on the internet, and she invited him...

Hi there! I started a new website recently where I review Houston taco stands and guns. I just did a review on the Ruger LCR, and I thought I'd get your input. http://gunsandtacos.com/guns/gun_ratings/ruger-lcr/ I hope I'm not breaking any rules here by promoting my site, but I'm not...

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/6505651.html In front of a run-down shack in north Houston, federal agents step from a government sedan into 102-degree heat and face a critical question: How can the woman living here buy four high-end handguns in one day? The house is worth...

There are two statements in this article that do not match up at all: 1. About a third of the guns submitted for tracing in 2007 were sold by licensed U.S. dealers. 2. Most of the guns traced were originally sold by U.S. dealers in border states, with more than half purchased in Texas. Not...

I noticed this article by a writer for the CATO Institute, the group which helped American gun owners prevail in the Supreme Court vs. Heller decision. I thought it was well written, and thought THR members might appreciate some of the points made...

I'm not sure if some of this is common knowledge or not, so forgive me if it is. I've purchased a lot of PMC ammo through the years, and I've been very happy with it. From my experience, it is very uniform and clean ammunition. I've been doing some web searching to hopefully find some...

Some indoor pistol ranges in my area allow .223 fire, as long as you only use frangible ammunition. I believe this has something to do with their backstop. I've noticed an odd smell when folks fire these rounds. It's a chemical smell, something like when a lady gets a 'perm'. Does anyone...

It's really frustrating, but I'm seeing a growing trend here (and I'm sure many if not most of you have picked up on it already). Instead of violating the 2nd by ordinary means, the powers that be are pointing to Mexico as a reason to cut down on gun sales in the US. This was a news...

From what I understand, with all "modern" auto pistols, it's OK to dryfire them. Does this count with a 70 series 1911? I'm new to the 1911. I bought a very nice 70 series lately, and when it's time to put it away unloaded, or after finishing a magazine, I'd like to know the correct way to...

Great article, from the other side of the fence: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122835270947177981.html?mod=rss_opinion_main New York Giants star receiver Plaxico Burress is facing a mandatory 3½ years in prison and the end of his football career. His crime? Not having a license, which...

My dad has a Colt Lawman revolver with a 2 inch barrel, and was curious where he could find a good holster for it. He's looking for a concealable, non-IWB holster,something that could be worn behind a hip. I was sure that I could find one online for him, but after searching for an hour or...

Updated today, from their website (aclu.org). Heller Decision and the Second Amendment So, we’ve been getting a lot of comments about the ACLU’s stance on the Second Amendment. For those of you who didn’t catch our response in the blog comments, here it is again: The ACLU interprets the...
