I am not really up on my scripture-quotin', but from what I have read and remember, there is nothing to indicate suicide is unpardonable, and I am confident that suicide is forgiven. Church doctrine is often based on more on maintaining control of the members' behaviour than scriptural truth. Prayer...

Griff, with my agency, there is no timed reload for "off-duty" and back-up weapons, just one gunload at 15 yards, and the rest of 50 rounds up closer. I could finish before the guys who have only one magazine for their autos, using my SAAs or Montado. The only revolvers, allowed, however a...

Yep, but no tumbleweeds in Houston! Try cypress trees, palm trees, water hyacinth, and duckweed.

We have cattle, but they have webbed hooves.

I routinely carry two; an SP101 snubby, and another equal or bigger, usually bigger. It is not unusual for me to have a third firearm with me, but not necessarily on my person. Texas CHL law has no limit, and it is not necessary to list a weapon with the state, or anyone else. I carry on my peace of...

Yep, them Boston Terrors with try your patience; there are two of them around this house.

Yep, it was the good Col. Cooper that turned me on to lever rifles; while he is not widely associated with lever rifles, he was a fan of the Winchester '94 and the Wild West Guns Co-Pilot takedown conversion of the Marlin .45-70. He wrote something to the effect that the '94 was an early scout rifle...

Rexster

Interesting! I would like to convert my 4" SP101, if it's feasible.

Rexster

On the original question, well, it depends on my mood and perceived threat level. I almost always carry at least one reload per type of weapon, and usually carry two handguns. If the two handguns are the same type, I might only carry one reload that they can share. The two-gun habit is largely becau...

The strength of Speed Strips is the ability to load two rounds very quickly. With an SA, that factor is lost, as only one chamber is exposed at a time. I don't have a .38/.357 SA to test the theory, but the available space might make a Speed Strip problematic when reloading an SA. I do use Speed Str...

Well, morning for me being 4 P.M., I let the dogs out, made some tea and oatmeal, and am looking at internet forums right now, while still eating, forty minutes later. Good morning y'all, and Happy New Year! Hey, I worked last night; my bedtime was after 0800. I was topping up the patrol car's gas t...

I have never kept records of number of rounds fired, and in any event, still have very few of my S&W sixguns. My perception is that S&W sixguns are strong enough to handle a high number of rounds, but they tend to go out of time quicker than a Ruger. One reason may be that the Ruger mechanis...

Presently, not often; my chief says no single action sixguns for "off-duty" and back-up. I can legally tote the SA, but have to also carry a DA sixgun or an auto, and it would not be a good idea to shoot a bad guy with the SA. I do have a Milt SParks Summer Special like ScottT's, and perh...

I see that 4" is the minimum for hunting in your area, so that leaves out the excellent SP101, unless a custom barrel is fitted. (Now, THAT would be sweet!) The classic S&W Combat Magnum, in the stainless M66 or blued M19, is great for carrying, and when well-holstered on a good belt, is al...

Indeed, no such thing as a free dog, though the initial acquisition can be free if you put the word out. It is amazing how many purebred dogs suddenly need new homes at about 13 months of age, which is adolescence for dogs. We managed to find two Boston Terriers for free, from my wife's co-workers, ...

Done!

All the Shootists seem to be really great guys, and I respect their desire to keep their organization small, and invitation-only. If I wanted to start an organization, whether the interest was firearms or bicycle touring or motorcycling or raising canaries, I would want it to stay small enough that ...

ScottT, I will miss your posts. Take good care, happy hunting, and Happy New Year!

This may surprise some of y'all, but Kenny Rogers, or is it Rodgers, the C&W vocalist, after he meddled in a local murder conviction appeal. How the anti-death-penalty picked this particular defendant as their poster child puzzles me, as he was an admitted multi-time felon and all-'round bad guy...

Rexster

Thanks, JimT. A joyous Christmas to all!

I saw these announced about the time I was ending my short spurt of very minor prosperity. To get one now would mean a trade, and no trades these days are without pain and regret. I do like the concept!

Rexster

Prayer for the officer; may he rest in peace.

Rexster

Yep; I am either Rexster or Rex G on every forum.

For a private citizen, the 870 will certainly be legal in more places, as Hobie indicated. Most places will not, however, allow loaded long guns inside motor vehicles, with Texas being one notable exception.

Rexster

Bruce, congratulations! I wear a big-city PD badge myself, and could leave now, though I will be much better off financially if I stay about four and a half more. I take long vacations each year, about eight weeks, and that has taught me I will have no trouble staying busy, and that I will NOT miss ...

I got tired of the big, honking, protruding rear portion of the G27 slide printing, or poking me, and sold the thing to a fellow officer who already had one G27, liked it, and wanted a pair. (He works narcotics division.) I resumed carrying my SP101 snubbies. This was while I was using a G22 as a du...

Prayers continue.

Prayers for a complete and timely recovery!

Congratulations! I would love to just be able to walk around in that beautiful country with my BLR sometime.

True enough; you should trust your buyer, and seller, too, for that matter, but FTF in Texas requires no involvement of the guvment.

Done, and will do!

Beautiful rifle!

My two snubbies I got from Jack Weigand have tritium front sights.

I have never used prepaid phones, so cannot address that part. I have had generally good luck in the Houston area with Sprint and Verizon, though notably, Sprint coverage mostly went down during Allison in 2001, while Verizon mostly worked fine. It was Allison that prompted me to not have all my egg...

The toy-sized rat terrorists were crossed with Chihuahuas to get their size down, so keep that in mind. Normal Rat Terriers are small enough.

I used 1911s for duty pistols from 1997 to 2002, and from time to time before then. IIRC, my duty mag pouches were Safariland, with the velcroed flap. The duty holster was the issued/mandatory Safariland 070. We supply our own firearms and magazines, and I settled on Metalform 7-rounders as the best...

I have at least one SP101 snubby with me all the time. While working police patrol, I wear one concealed in an ankle rig while the duty SIG rides on the belt. On my own time, I try to wear either an SP101 or a Speed Six on the hip, plus another .357 revolver in a pocket rig or Safepacker, or in anot...

Beautiful! Magazines are over-rated, anyway.

I keep hoping one of these will show up locally at a certain large dealer, where I can put it on lay-awake, er, I mean layaway, or else make a trade.

I am about to see a doc about my hand/wrist issues, so I empathize.

My Colt AR15A2 Govt Carbine was 100% reliable. It did not teach me to like the AR15 design, and I particulary dislike short, skinny-barreled models. I sold mine to a fellow peace officer. I am considering a Colt HBAR to carry at work, or I may decide to just forego carrying a patrol carbine for what...

I started lever-shooting with a BLR, and still like my first BLR the best. I almost voted for Savage.

When a baby sparrow takes a tumble from the big palm tree in the backyard, what Heidi the Boxer and Bitsy the Boston Terrier do to it is not pleasant for the sqeamish to watch , either. Wolf food does not come from cans and bags.

Hmm, wolf topics do get us all worked up. I hope this one stays civil and respectful.

Beautiful photography work, for sure!

OK here; concerned about those to the east a bit.

It's a formula Western, i.e., a morality play. So, no, the story/plot is not great. But, the acting and weapon details seemed quite good to me.

I have managed to sneak in, too.
