    .38 ammo question - from my mom.

    As a SD load, the Corbon DPX for 38 has the Barnes expanding copper bullets might be a good carry choice: http://www.cabelas.com/prod-1/0060839216731a.shtml They're as expensive as heck, but make for a nice high velocity bullet and only 110 grains. I practice with a few (usually in the...

    Controversy in the Texas Senate with Student CHL

    I'm a chem prof at a local community college. Personally, I'm not opposed to people with CHLs carrying legally on campus as long as everyone follows the rules that apply everywhere else. However, if college Chancellors, Presidents, and campus police have their way, it will never happen...

    Ideas for first handgun

    Get something you can afford to shoot. 9 mm isn't a bad first choice. A good 357 Mag (either S&W or Ruger) is a great HD weapon and will serve you well for many years if you take care of it. Good luck

    The Lead Free Ammo Movement

    The only real non-toxic alternatives that have a high enough density are prohibitively expensive or aren't malleable enough to make bullets out of. The best real alternative is copper, but it is 3 times more expensive and less dense than lead. Although, copper and lead have both dropped by...

    Wal-mart cheap ammo

    I'll never buy the Remington 550 pack of 22LR again. That stuff has all kinds of trouble in my Buckmark. I've become a fan of the Federal 22LR copper plated. I can't find it at the Wal Mart I shop at.

    Friday Night, Downtown Houston

    Usually when someone approaches me like that, they start telling me a story about how they're from out of town and that they ran out of gas. The usual MO is to not stop talking and make you feel uncomfortable until you give them some money. I usually go with "Leave me alone." If they...

    Elks Castle in Fort Worth

    I've seen it in the yellow pages but haven't been there. I live only about 5-10 miles from there. I'll have to check it out. I've been going to The Shooters' Club for indoor range and Alpine for outdoor. The Shooters Club has a limited distance to shoot on the range and it's sometimes a bit...

    Maybe you like revolvers that have a prime number of shots. There goes that theory. Just go get yourself a nice six shooter.

    .22 for defense/house gun. who has one?

    Ah yes, the 21000 grain rock is quite effective with proper placement, but carrying extra ammo is a real burden.

    38 Special for target shooting

    For me, it looks something like this for target shooting: 38 Special: 15% .357 Mag: 15% .22 LR pistol: 70% My 22 always goes to the range with me. It's practically free to shoot.

    Gun Nuts!

    I've been called everything under the sun. Nothing really offends me, but that doesn't mean I like what I'm called. When people label others as gun nuts, antis, conservatives, liberals, Republicans, Democrats, facists, commies...they are excusing themselves from really thinking by letting...

    Need some info to use for argument

    Don't try to convince him that people won't "snap". Dig up the Constitution and show him that the founders made it such a priority for people to have the right to keep and bear arms that they put it #2 in the Bill of Rights. They put it before unlawful search and seizure, trial by jury, and...

    Bear/Hiking gun

    Just to round out this thread... When the bear starts to attack on your day hike and the SHTF, you better have your BOB and your CCW so you can stop the BG (bear). Then you can discuss the relative stopping power of a 9 mm, a 45 ACP, a 357 Mag, and a 45 Mag. Slugs vs. Buckshot...
