    I watched Ex Machina on a flight back over the Atlantic on Tuesday and I have to say, I was seriously impressed! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyKqHOgMi4g If you loved Blade Runner you really should see this. Not only are the cinematography and special effects outstanding, the plot is excellent as well! Cheers! M2

    Nice, post up a range report (and pics) once you've gotten a chance to shoot it!

    Yes, it means those with a TX CHL will be able to conceal carry on campus as long as a 30.06 (concealed carry prohibited) sign is present on private schools. Note this applies to everyone...students, faculty, other employees... It becoming law has driven the liberals here (Moms Demand Action, McRaven, etc.) nuts, so pretty much it's a two-fer! No kidding, they actually contend this right implies that there will be some sort of intimidation for professors not to give bad grades for fear that an armed student may draw their weapon. What they fail to recognize is that seven other states already allow concealed carry on campuses (11 others besides Texas are considering it, but so far only the Lone Star State has passed a bill on it. Another 23 leave campus-carry decisions to college officials or their state boards of regents), and there has been zero recorded instances of that happening! Mind you, I always thought theories had to be supported by documented research; but I guess in this case unsubstantiated rhetoric is OK... Speaking of which, this is my source of information: Gun rights advocates' push for campus-carry measures like Texas' is slow going. Personally, I am more excited about open carry!

    No experience with that particular model, but it is a Springfield XD so I would have no hesitation in getting it. And that's a pretty good price as well...

    Mejor que nada, my friend (and no, that's not the name of a passed over O-4). I get what you're saying, but if you've been following the ass pain involved in just getting to this point you will understand why we consider this a victory. It's not the war, but at least it's one battle closer to where we want to be. And if you've been tracking Texas politics, you will see how blue this state is getting. And some liberal police chiefs (led by that asshole up in Austin running that department) tried to get the whole thing crushed. I agree that the Dutton-Huffines amendment would have made for a better law, but given that the options were to either drop it or lose the entire bill, I think the right decision was made...

    It's a step in the right direction, and one that is long overdue. And to be honest, I don't see the police harassing individuals for OC'ing because it will result in civil lawsuits. But I agree, the state is not as gun-friendly as most people think; but with the passage of this bill and (hopefully) campus carry, it is getting better...

    Just to caveat, I ain't a lawyer... From what I have read, reciprocity will apply to open carry; so if you have a concealed permit from one of the 40 states that Texas recognizes it will allow you to open carry here once it becomes legal!

    On 1 January 2016, individuals with a CHL will be able to legally open carry in Texas...

    I've seen tire valve stems made from 9mm brass; but this is something completely different...
  14. What bites even more is that the National Football League is an unincorporated nonprofit 501(c )(6) association, meaning its league office is not subject to income tax because it does not make a profit. It considers itself a trade association made up of and financed by its 32 member teams. Each individual team (except the non-profit Green Bay Packers) is subject to tax because they make a profit...
  15. Yeah, I was sad to see James Best had passed away last month. I actually emailed him several years ago when there was a big backlash against Dukes of Hazzard going around because of the rebel flag and all that. I wanted to let him know we were big fans of the show. He actually sent a very nice reply, and stated that if there was anything he could do for me or anyone else in the military, he would gladly do so. It was sincere, and just the kind of man he was. During Dukes, Best and Sorrell Booke (who played Boss Hogg) became close friends and would often improvise their scenes together, making up their own dialogue as they went along. The pair's comical ability became apparent and a popular element of the series. Rest in peace, Roscoe P. Coltrane. The world will be a duller place without you!
  16. Hey, if Hillary can ask a quarter million to spew her vile, then why shouldn't O'Grady get his paycheck? Plus, isn't he an ordained minister these days?!? Wikipedia says he got a master's degree in biblical studies at Dallas Theological Seminary. Anyone know if he still flies in the Reserves?
