Displaced Texan

This thread needs bullpup pics.

Quite balmy!

Our humidity around here is about 40%. I don’t think that was reading correctly.

Temp at my house right now. We’ve been 100°+ every day for about a month now. I read a hospital in the UK that opened their doors and windows because it was so hot, and they didn’t have AC. Now, there are an assload of seagulls inside the hospital.

I’d say that you’re probably right, MOST people don’t notice. Put yourself in the shoes of a criminal, and think about the things you would notice about people. I bet tactical pants are one of those things.

This sums up the community I live in.

I wear Wrangler work pants on a regular basis. They do have cargo pockets, but they don’t scream ‘tactical’. They scream ‘this guy works for a living’. I don’t keep my pockets bulging with stuff, my EDC is pretty minimal, and I try to look as nonchalant as possible. Regular old working schlub.

Be the grey man.

And oddly, after decrying how bad nuclear, and coal energy is, Germany makes plans to extend the life of nuke plants, and restart coal fired electric plants. https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/gas-crisis-prompts-germany-consider-extending-life-three-remaining-nuclear-2022-07-18/ https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/19/world/europe/germany-russia-gas.html Why???? Isn’t all that green energy supplying enough power? Lol

Griz beat me to it. They have options that you can turn on and off as desired, and the fees are pro rated for the time that you use them. I like that there is no limit to coverage, or access to an actual lawyer, not an answering service. 24/7/365.

I use US Law Shield.

They work very well. Pleased with the NeoMag.

That one was a MFT holster for a Glock 19. I like it when I wear a thicker belt. The only thing I don’t like about that holster is that it does not accommodate a light on my pistol. Lately, I’ve been carrying with a Tenicor Certium Lux2 for a G19/TLR7A. I really like that one. The retention clips are hard on a belt, but it’s nice and secure.

Agreed. The metrics have to match to be meaningful. The .Gov changed the inflation index many years ago to leave out such things as energy and foodstuffs. This doesn’t accurately portray the actual increases in cost of living. For ‘reasons’.

Hey buddy, will you deliver? To Texas? I need a new one at the ranch.

Speaking of swabbing the case for explosives…. While I’ve told this story before, I had an experience with DFW TSA agents in this regard. I was returning to Philly after a ranch trip, with a rifle. TSA in Dallas swabbed my gun case, and said, “you can’t fly with this gun case, it tested positive for gunpowder residue.” Yep…it’s a GUN case, with a firearm inside it, of COURSE it tested positive for gunpowder residue. I had him get his supervisor, who ran the same test, and said the same thing. They wouldn’t let me fly with it. I had to get the supervisors supervisor….and he agreed with me (no shit, Sherlock!), and not only verbally bitch slapped his subordinates, but allowed my rifle to fly. TSA is useless.

Man, I’d love to do that course

The reason is to make it inconvenient. Ours are good for 5, and renewal isn’t overly painful.
