Ok , my thought on this entire issue comes from the fact that they cannot carry hand guns openly in Texas. My next thought is where in Governor Perry and what are his thoughts on all of this? It is evident that 18 year old young men will still not be able to carry a hand gun either open or concealed. Governor Perry says he is 100% pro 2nd Amendment and an NRA member. There has not been one word out of him or the Texas legislature about what is taking place in their state. Now a loaded hand gun was found in the children's toy section of a target store. It was rumored that the gun was stolen and was found in the target toy section. We are not talking long guns now folks. That was a hand gun. A very cheap Hi Point loaded gun. Do I think it was a plant by the anti Gun people? YES by all means it was. Why do I believe that? I believe that because the long guns were not getting the agenda done the Moms are wanting. Target did not give them the reaction they were wanting so they add a little more Drama to their agenda to try and push Target over the edge. Surely target has video of the man that put the pistol in the toys section of the store. Employees said they saw a man acting strangely shortly before the gun was found. it was only a matter of a few minutes between when the strange man left the store and a store discovered the gun. Just how many coincidences can there be in such a short time span unless it was all staged? All I can say is "Well Watson, the Plot Thickens!!!  Your right again Holmes!!." ....................jmho

I think the words blow back would probably be an understatement to what the real backlash would be............jmho

Funny that the dogs didn't react to the snake before she ever got near it. Kasey will react to ta snake out in my yard long before I ever get close to it and start barking and running around it. Most dogs will react to them. It very well could have been a Copperhead as greg mentioned. i don't know how true this is or if it's and old wives tale but I have heard that you can tell if your near a Copperhead because you will smell a strong odor very similar to a cucumber or cucumber patch. Like I said don't know how true it is since my sense of smell was destroyed by napalm years ago..........Would like to know if anyone could verify it to be true or false.... :whistle: :whistle:

There is not a good selection of South paw holsters by an companies that i have seen while looking at holsters. I have been wanting a really good  Shoulder holster but they are not out there. I want a tuxedo style but they don't make them for men........... [ :shrug:] Everyone is not as small as James Bond and I want a vertical drop and not a horizontal holster...... :whistle:

Back years ago before things got all crazy and I was 12 years old I had a Paladin Holster outfit , Knights head and all and yep strapped to my leg. Had a Colt Single action 22lr with 4 3/4 inch barrel and bone grips. My buddy Dave had a Matt Dillon Holster system and yep tied down and he had a Rugar single action six 22lr with a 6 inch barrel and he was 13 and we went rabbit hunting with them and yea we were that good back then with tons of practice and 1000's of rounds. Hunting over slow trailing beagles the rabbits would always be 50 yards of more out ahead of the dogs and they would hop a few feet and stop and listen for the dogs to get closer before moving again. You heard the expression sitting ducks. Well we had sitting rabbits. Seldom missed and didn't have all the bird shot in the meat. Hunter with them for years until we got separated by my parents moving me south and Dave was going into the Navy. Dave still has his Rugar but when they burglarized my home in 1987 they got my Colt never to be seen again. They took the holster with it because it was in the holster where is stayed in my closet.

  So does that mean your a southpaw?????.................................................. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Well I actually bought these few guns for family that had plans of getting HCP's and now they are going to put off getting them for a while so they don't want to pay for the guns now either so I have money invested and it's not my fault they have decided to put off getting them but they don't care because it is not their money tied up so I will sell these and when they get ready to take the tests they can shoot some of my guns to get the HCP"s and then go buy their own guns..................jmho

Well It is like losing an old friend in a lot of ways. They are gone but the many good times you had together last till you get told to remember them or you die....................The reasoning that caused the statement you quoted are over the years bass boats have become, well how should I put this???  Ridiculously priced to what you could have bought a nice house for back several years ago and most guys were making payments on boats long after they had blown the engine and the boat was falling apart long after the warranties were long forgotten. That is where that statement you mentioned came from. I know a guy right now that just went and bought his new Phoenix Bass Boat and it "ONLY" cost his $77,000.00 after trade in of his 2003 Stratos Bass Boat. He financed it for 15 years to keep his payments low and will end up pay well over $100,000.00 when and if he lives long enough to pay for it. When I got mine I just sold in 1998 I gave $20,000.00 for it still had all the original equipment it came with and was only in the shop for maintenance. Never needed a repair so evidently I got a boat built on a Wednesday and I wrote a check for it. No financing. kept it 15 years and still got half what I paid for it when I bought it and used it all those years. So year I guess that saying may work for some but not in my instance.

Yep and I am trying to change with it. Sometimes it's easy and sometimes not so but life does go on regardless.............. :whistle: :whistle:

If the price is right you betcha I'll sell but not going to give them away either.................... :up: :up: :rofl:

If you are really looking to make all schools safer take down the Gun Free Zone restrictions and allow trained HCP approved adults, teachers, administration officials, Janitors  to carry and schools will become safer immediately. Chances of that happening. 10 million to 1...................jmho

you can forget that idea. State has no intentions of losing that revenue they are getting from over 300,000 HCP  people and getting higher number every year..............jmho   That would be like issuing permanent drivers licenses or permanent license plates. Ain't gonna happen in my lifetime anyway............jmho

No, seriously I do have a couple I need to sell........ :up: :up:

Well since I am surprised that they did not have slippery wet noodle included in their list of weapons I would guess Pepper Sprays Mace and tazers of any kind would be considered an illegal weapon on school grounds...............jmho

thanks for all the replies. Kasey has gone out and came back in and laid down beside me about 6 times since it left. She misses it a lot. In all honesty I did sell it but Son in law bought it so it is still in the family and I have access to it if and when I should ever decide to go fishing again but I know he will take great care of it and it will get used with him which is something it was not getting from me. I don't think I would have sold it knowing it was leaving the family. He has already mentioned storing it here till he gets a garage built for it so i will probably be back in the carport soon. Yea, I a saving the money on Insurance for sure. $235.00 a year for it to sit in carport. I already have a new hobby which is guns and I went from zero to about 10 in 4 years and got ammo up the yazoo and had to buy a bigger safe for it. I know Raoul said I need to buy another gun. What I need to do first is sell a couple guns.......... :rofl: :rofl:

Lightening can doe some really strange things for sure and so can extremely high winds like in tornadoes......... :up: :up: 

Well I never thought I would ever part with it but I sold my Skeeter Bass Boat today and carport is empty. This is the first time since 1982 I have not owned a bass boat boat of some kind. I'm not really sure when I lost the desire to go bass fishing but it was a gradual thing. I just began going less and less as I got older and last year boat only was in  the lake 3 times all summer. I would look at it sitting there and I began actually feeling sorry for the boat because I knew it was always lake ready and all I had to do was hook up and go but just didn't. Oh well , life goes on I guess.  Kasey is lost and laying here beside me because her favorite place to lay was under the boat. Might wind up being a.......... :doh:     moment in my life before it is over.

Not really sure barney could be called a Cop as much as he was just Andy's side kick so wasn't really bashing........... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

If you are going to harvest for population control and food it is always wisest to take the oldest and the largest of the species so  most likely it will end up being a trophy.

Sorry Nick but I grew up calling the Chinese and Japanese orientals and their elders will still tell you they are from  the Orient and not from Asia because neither one of them want to be connected to Koreans or TAI countries like Cambodia Vietnam or Thailand. and they still eat cat but cannot serve it in their restaurants and quit hitting me or I will get out my............... :taser:

I wonder how many of the flood cars from the Nashville flood made it onto Carfax. 1 in maybe 50,000 maybe!!!!!! Buying a used car is like buying a pig in a poke unless you buy it from someone you know purchased it brand new. Other wise it is a buy and hope deal............jmho. Speaking of that  I just got nominated to take my grandson car shopping next weekend. Any car dealers here I should check with before we go shopping.......????

If my math is correct you now have 27 cats.................. :hiding: :hiding:

A cat the size of the one in that picture going 175lbs you can almost bet it didn't get that big eating eating Prairie Dogs and Chipmunks and deer are not as easy to catch as a young calf would be so with not knowing the big cats diet I'm not going to judge if the cat was a nuisance or not but will make a nice rug for fireplace mat and i am sure if he locates a family or two of orientals they will be more than glad to have the meat..............jmho

I got an email about him this morning saying he had developed Pneumonia over night and was being treated for it. Just wondering if anyone has heard anything since then????

Greed Greed Greed nothing else you can say about it except glad they got caught but another black eye for the gun industry.  Funny how money can make other wise good people become corrupt................ :shrug: :shrug: :shrug:
