what constitutes "plain sight" for handguns. as "Dr.Phil" says, "I'm not a lawyer... and I'm NOT bragging...", but Plain-Sight is another "judgement call". if you're using an Open-Carry Side-Arm holster... WRONG. if it's under your coat and a quick glance from the side gave someone a momentary view...

Re: Legal to carry in your car! (Tx)

starting 9/1, a Texas law goes into effect that allows people to carry a handgun in their car. It was my understanding back in the early summer, when it came to a vote... that they changed the "definition of TRAVELING", in that prior-times YOU had to "Prove you were Traveling", but the Revision goi...

Powder used in .22 ?

Is there anything to be learned or understood about the GunPowder used in the (more common/popular) .22 cartridges ? I'm not a "reloader" (yet, anyway), but I'm aware of the vast assortment of CenterFire Pistol, Rifle, ShotGun & BlackPwdr "loads" and the immense books and databases of their uses. I'...

I'll get it, it'll just take a little time. FYI. when I browse to: http://www.GunTalk-OnLine.com/ I am seeing the favicon in my FireFox(tm) URL line AND TAB when I move to 'forums', the favicon remains on the URL line, but the TAB shows a generic-"page" icon... (??) Maybe the 'validator' link (in a...

Re: Dry Firing

Make a simulated target with an index card. First get a brand new pencil with a new eraser. Now shoot a ten shot group. Back when I was in HiSkool, the 'Pencil Test' meant something else entirely... but that another forum. I attended " Camp Perry " back in early July. the 'basic Pistol School'. The...
