      Do you think private gun sales should go through a FFL?

      When a car is sold the title is transferred or in the event of no title, the purchaser must have a new title created in order to put the vehicle in their name, register it and obtain insurance. With a private sale of a firearm, a bill of sale basically says the gun was sold. I'd at least get it...

      .22 Ammo

      If you're in the New Orleans area and looking for some .22 LR then Perret's Army Surplus has about 50 boxes of 325 Federal in the glass case for $24.99. Not too bad if you can't find any. Located on Williams blvd south of the interstate and on the left.

      Hi-Point 9mm carbine

      That's the amazing thing is how they stand behind their product. I've heard three, now four personal accounts of how a gun was sent to HP in rough condition and returned as good as new.

      Revolvers......a rich man's hobby?

      I purchased a Ruger GP .357 in the early 90's for $359 at Sports Unlimited. The current model is $600 plus. Revolvers are great but new stock is too much for my wallet.

      Hi-Point 9mm carbine

      Picked up one of these new for $300 including two extra clips and FFL fee. Fun gun to shoot and dead on accurate out of the box. Took it to the range on Sunday and ran 100 rounds through it without a single problem. I rarely shoot open sights and was highly impressed that at 50 feet I placed...

      Cancelled order of 22LR

      I had a back order for some Federal with Midway that was auto cancelled last month. If you read their fine print, all back orders are cancelled after one year from the order date.

      My running log, by JR1572, hijacked by AustinBR

      Rode 35 miles on Saturday morning out on River Road starting from the new casino. Rode another 50 on Sunday all over Ascension. Did an easy 10 in the neighborhood yesterday. Just shy of a 100 mile weekend.

      This Year's Hurricane Readiness Project

      You can buy a low tone sliencer muffler for $50 or less. I replaced mine after Gustav and it knocked the noise down quite a bit.

      Road construction sucks here.

      Exactly. Hwy 290 is the highway that currently connects to the toll road. The are building new interchanges to keep things moving. I use the toll road all the time. $1.72 takes me 9 miles at 80 mph. They also have 3x the workers out their. Had to vent my frustration. Wish I could post pics...

      Road construction sucks here.

      Why does it take so long for anything to get done here when it comes to road construction? Oneal Lane took four years instead of the projected 1.5 years. Hwy 73 where I live is nowhere near the summer 2014 completion. I just returned from a trip to Austin and I was floored when I saw the...

      HE Washer Recommendations?

      I purchased both my washer and dryer at Campo's scratch and dent sale back in December 1998. Was close to $950 for both new but they knocked off $250 for the dents on the back panels. Knocked them out with a hammer. Washer never touched. Dryer has had the belt changed, solenoid for gas valve...

      HE Washer Recommendations?

      I will not buy one of the front loaders. I've had a Whirlpool top loader for 15 years and have not cracked the cabinet open ever and I run some crap through it. I can name at least a dozen friends that despise their front loaders. Especially how they start to smell and that they recommend you...

      Got My Cinco de Mayo Shirt Ordered!

      Cinco de mayo is an excuse to party and get hammered in America. I had a conversation with my Hispanic neighbor about this and he said nobody in his family or his community in Texas ever celebrated it. Also stated that in Mexico almost nobody celebrates it. It's a commercialized holiday here.

      Treason? You decide..

      That's the American spirit. I'd sell my company and all material possessions to China (or anyone else) for 1/10th that price- and be happy about it. I'd burn it down before selling to China. China is famous for ripping off or crushing American companies to get a foot in the door. Remember...

      Boat motor repair

      Simons is supposed to be good. I've been fortunate enough to be able to do a lot of work on my motors myself. Found a place in Alabama that I can order all kinds of parts from for excellent prices. Only problem now is most mechanics are so busy it takes 2 - 3 weeks to get your boat back.
