Yeah, even with open carry in TX the last few months, some businesses STILL don't allow C carry (CVS, Chipotle, Whataburger....). These retarded corps bow to the "perceived" liberal feeling of fewer guns = less gun violence. Haven't set foot in any of them after that position was taken.

Plenty of other places willing to take my money, that actually support the peoples 2nd Amendment.

Yeah but you've still got a 10 mile long pull with that Beretta 92 trigger.

That's why I mentioned the Wilson Combat trigger job. I carried a 92FS for over 20 yrs, never liked the trigger that much.

That might be why the Walther PPQ trigger blew my mind. I'm not happy with the Sig 227 trigger any more, not as crisp on break (and too far back for my big hands), and longer reset (not as quick on double/triple taps). More feedback feel on the PPQ trigger reset too!

The sites are set EXACTLY where I like them (6 o'clock), hit right where I expected (never had to adjust point of aim for site position).

Damn! Now I need the PPQ.

Getting stupid. I have a daughter there who is a senior, and thinks the way they are dealing with some things is out of control.

Glad to hear things are moving in the right direction on your college campuses although as you mentioned, way off from being perfect. What nowadays with all the "safe spaces" and microaggressions - Sigh.

ALL college women should be proficient in firearms and carry for self protection. Way too many female victims out there nowadays. Heard a dumb progressive liberal idiot broad tell me one time when I suggested the same thing - "Yeah sure if someone was trying to rape me at gunpoint and I reached into my purse to get my gun if I had one they'd shoot me in the head and I can't defend myself if I'm dead" - Sigh #2.

I'm with TiAg, if I lived in a state that allowed open/concealed carry I would be frequenting the businesses who do not advertise their sitting duck status to would be criminals.

We got a Nebraska Furniture Mart in Plano last year, HUGE operation that deals in home furnishings/electronics. The place is bigger then AT&T stadium (Cowboys). Great prices.

Refuse to go there, owned by Berkshire Hathaway Group (Warren Buffett), big supporter of Hillary and donates to the "guns are bad" groups.

Those who choose to support their Constitutional rights, need to stop funding those who don't.

Even bought a gift NRA membership for Mike Blumberg (his address is available online) when I renewed my membership. Thought it would be a funny way to donate toward the cause!

Hope Mikey likes his NRA member packet/card/hat!

I hunted a bit (quite a bit) in college, so I had long guns. Back then, a hand gun wouldn't have been on my mind.

My daughter had several of her sorority sisters get handguns over Christmas break, and a few also got Weapons Carry Licenses.

She is are up with getting her license. She graduates in May, and will be traveling a lot, and wants to become proficient with a firearm by then, so that she can get herself one with her first "real" post-graduation paycheck.

I have told I wouldn't get one before that, because she lives on campus, so it's illegal for her to have it right now. Looks like that will change in July, but she'll be out by then.

Just a few observations on watching half the "Guns and America" episode of CBS Sunday Morning today - I didn't get to watch the first half as I slept in a bit but apparently they were interviewing the NRA in one of the beginning segments

-Segment on Australia - WOW. They have no clue how much our murder rates have gone down as gun ownership has gone up, they just get sound bytes from news when we have a headline shooting like Sandy Hook, etc. If they as citizens are comfortable with the gun laws in their country, good for them. But mandating that a citizen has to lock up their ammo and guns in separate safes, as well as the countless restrictions on ownership, not much to add.

-Segment on "Kids shooting kids" - Centered around a guy in his 40s who shot and killed his sister when he was 8-10 years old. Verbatim this is how he explained it: "I found the gun, and pointed it out near the door/window, and it just accidentally went off, and my sister was walking in front of the door at that time and she was hit" - Didn't catch where he was from but obvious his parents never taught ownership and responsibility with a firearm at a young age. I don't care if he was a kid at the time, don't go on national television and say a gun accidentally went off. Admit you were an idiot and didn't respect the rule of handling a firearm which is don't put your finger inside the trigger guard unless you are ready to pull it, and always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. Sorry that his sister was killed, but it was his fault, and not the fact he had a gun in the home.

-Segment on the Old West and family in Wyoming - best segment I saw, family shooting with their kids and loved ones, ALL of them understand safe firearms handling and don't treat it like a toy. Little 5 year old girl learning safe handling, and how to shoot properly, guarantee there are no "accidental shootings" around there because the kids there are all taught SAFETY at a young age, the "mystique and curiosity" of guns is non-existent because they are not hidden away and the children know they are not toys.

-Segment on the reporter and her BF who were gunned down last year on live TV - parents are pulling a Gabby Giffords, going around campaigning with the likes of Bloomberg I'm sure. The report admitted that the person who gunned them down, passed a NICS check and purchased his weapon legally. Yet they literally said verbatim the Obama taglines "Yes it may not have saved our daughter, but if we could only save one life, by passing universal background checks and closing the gun show loophole" - I still dont know what that means, at every gun show I've been to, I can't just walk in with cash and leave with a gun on the same day with no NICS check. Even more so if the show is out of state, it obviously has to be sent to a FFL who runs a NICS check.

Besides the segment on how firearms are a part of everyday life in the frontier and plains states, pretty poor reporting but I did not expect much from CBS - and in all fairness it may have been better reporting in the first half of the segment although I doubt very much they portrayed the NRA in a good light.

I do get a serious kick out of people who think just our whole gun debate is between rural vs. urban areas and states. People in NJ, CA, NYC, etc should be teaching their children all aspects of gun safety and taking away the curiosity about guns from a very young age, problem is in our metro areas there are too many people who know nothing about firearm responsibility and/or never had guns in their homes growing up, you can't expect the younger generation to respect what a firearm can do if you never respected it yourself.

There was a great "What Would You Do?" episode a few months back in San Antonio at a gun store, they had an actor playing a disturbed customer and another pair of actors portraying a father buying his 10 year old son an AR-style rifle, looking for reactions from patrons in the store. Basically all of them responded to John Quinones that "if the father teaches his son properly to be safe and responsible and to respect the firearm, no reason he shouldn't buy him anything in the store" - A dad even had his 2 year old daughter on his arms in the store and the mother was very proud to show the host of the show that when she asked her 2 year old "What do we say about Daddys guns honey?" the daughter promptly replied "I am not allowed to touch them" -

It all starts at a young age, especially when it comes to kids and guns. 'll admit that my parents never owned firearms, although my dad always paid his membership to the NRA and supported it. Plenty of times I went hunting with friends and target shooting and since I was young, always learned that guns aren't toys, and only you are responsible for pulling the trigger.

The old adage goes, "Leave the shotgun out on the front porch all week on the chair, it can't kill anyone by just sitting there"

Just a few pennies for my thoughts from today -
