That is a great photo, RR7. Unlike many depictions in western flicks, plenty old time cowpokes did not wear pull on boots, but instead favored high lace ups. The tradition is still carried out by Nevada buckaroos to this day. I worked most of my days in packers with riding heel. Great arch support ...

Welcome to the forum. Why don't you post that picture right here, Kevin. I'm sure lots of us would love to see it. Kim, thanks for the welcome. I was just joshin' about a picture of me! Maybe after my badge is made up in a few months I can post that. It's a cinco peso with the star cut out. Needs t...

Yes sir, there have been a few wild mom...

I've been a Texas Highway Patrolman for 25 years and when I went to work in 1984 our issue rifle was 1894 Winchester in .30 WCF! Sometime in the late 80s/early 90s we switched to Ruger Mini 14s, .223...a real mosquito round. Just about 2 years ago we switched, again, to Bushmaster M4 carbines, also,...
