You can do so in Texas as well without a permit. I was mainly concerned about the states that have more restrictive laws for non-permit holders. For example, I travel regularly through Oklahoma. It's illegal to carry a loaded, concealed weapon in your vehicle in Oklahoma unless you have a...

I took my Sigma .40 to an indoor range yesterday and fired 100 rounds through it. Definitely is a different feeling gun from what I'm used to - most recently a S&W Model 19 .357. Overall I was satisfied with how it shot. The trigger pull does take some getting used to and the time to...

When I was a kid, dad used to do pancake feasts. He'd make a big bunch of homemade batter and cook up huge stacks of pancakes on the cast iron griddle. Me, my brother & my sister would eat those things with homemade apple butter, homemade grape jelly, homemade plum jelly. In season we'd have...

update I've been busy jumping through all the hoops I have to jump through prior to having gastric surgery. I've gained and lost several hundred pounds at various times over the last couple of decades. With 40 yrs old looming on the very near horizon, I've decided that drastic action is called...

My old S&W Model 19 .357 is starting to act its age a little bit, and I think it needs a visit to a gunsmith for some minor repairs. So I bought a S&W Sigma .40 on Saturday. I'll be going to the range this weekend to try it out. I read quite a few reviews on various forums and couldn't find...

Jeez, what a total bummer. That was the first trail I explored when I moved to Tucson. I'd never done any real four-wheeling and I experience major pucker factor along the trail. It's hard to describe how depressing it is to read through those threads about what's happened and how it has been...

I've had the same conversation with Dirk. I respect his opinion, but I am probably going to run a narrower tire on my TJ after it's lifted. I've driven higher COG vehicles for many years now and I feel comfortable with the negliglble risk. I lack the skills/tools/space to self-install, so I...

Busy at work Yep, I'm hard at work helping save lives. Or trying anyway. I've spent my morning calling around to other blood banks trying to find any excess platelet pheresis products. We're a little short today...

I've used a hitchrack on a couple of occasions with my TJ. My parents have traveled to SW Colorado with me and with 3 people in the Jeep, there is pretty much no room for much else. The only issues I've had have been that when the rack is loaded up, my turn signals/brake lights are somewhat...

Trevor - as someone who is just a viewer (not a photography expert), I like the middle 2 best. And of those, I like the 1st one the most. It has an amazing amount of color in it and really reminds me of a winter day on the farm where I grew up. We had a large grove of trees on the south side...

We've been working on it, but so far I'm coming up empty. They do think they can get the insurance to pay for all pre-op testing/consults/hoops that I have to jump through. I have picked up a 2nd job doing some IT contracting that if it works out as I hope it will is going to bring in a pretty...

I did a quick/easy fab with an extra old license plate. I drilled through the old one and put in screws to the Maglite bracket. I used zipties to attach my new tag to the old one. It's not anything special but it works. I haven't done anything to secure it. Figure if someone wants it...

My carrier (Humana) will pay for alot of things. My employer did not purchase those options for our coverage. What I was told during multiple discussions with Humana is that I do not have coverage for ANY sort of obesity-related treatment. Diets, exercise programs, dietician, ANYTHING. Also...

I've been completely rebuffed in all discussions with my HMO regarding bariatric surgery, which I honestly feel is the most likely to work option for me at this point in my life. So I'm looking at options for self-pay. It's going to be a pretty significant expense - probably $15,000 or so...

I've got a few funny videos of you in some amusing (at least to me) predicaments. Unfortunately your commentary isn't family friendly so I can't post them here. :coffeedrink: Good memories, amigo. It's been too long...

Apologies in advance... I saw this picture and could only think of one thing... hopefully someone here other than me will know this so I can avoid a socially awkward moment. On topic - many great pictures here! You know that Johnny Werzner kid - the kid who delivers papers in the...

I was thinking either that or just banking on the chance that they're allergic to dog slobber... :drool:

Definitely!! I live in a loft apartment that's a quad. I don't know the people behind me, but I just had a new couple move in next door. Day one I am introducing myself - for really two reasons. One - I play guitar. Please let me know immediately if it ever becomes an issue and I will make...

My brother just bought his a couple months ago when he got his gun. I believe he paid right around $100 USD for it. Since he has a 4 year old in the house, he felt the price was well worth it. One thing that he and I talked about - it's not so much concern for my nephew being responsible...

I don't have any kids so I keep my .357 loaded and in the top drawer of my dresser upstairs where I sleep. If I were to have any kids (like my nephews) visiting, it would be unloaded and stuck up in the top of my closet for the duration. I have a 12 gauge with the magazine loaded in my closet...
