 | How is Alligator hunted (legally) in your state? - CoastieGM on 6/19/13 at 8:26 am In Texas, it's more like fishing. Hang a large baited hook above the water.
How about other states?...

In these latter days of metrosexuals, pantywaists, and other sorry excuses for males taking over our country, it did my heart good to see this pic of one of my boys with his buddies...

 | Refresh my memory - CoastieGM on 6/7/13 at 10:10 pm Remember when all that AWB hoopla was going on a few months ago? Well somebody on the OB had a great counter to the out-of-context "statistic" that Louisiana has the highest gun death rate in the nation.
I recall the OBer was factual and insightful, but I just can't recall the specifics. Help me ...

 | NRA Stickers...to put on the vehicles or not - CoastieGM on 5/19/13 at 8:03 am So the wife had a good question for me. Would putting our NRA Life Member stickers on vehicles (or the front window of our home) actually make us a target for theft? I want to fly the flag for political purposes, but frankly I hadn't thought about this aspect.
What's the OBs thoughts?...

 | Is the M1-Toro is the way to go? - CoastieGM on 5/17/13 at 12:19 pm What's the OB's opinion of the M1-Toro?
The way that the 300 BLK is a hybrid of the .308 and .223 rounds, the M1 Toro is an amalgamation of the M1 Carbine and 9mm luger rounds.
Just saw it for the first time today. The owner says it's a really sweet carbine round. This is a new one on me.

 | One reason shotguns suck for some defense - CoastieGM on 5/6/13 at 2:34 pm One of many reasons I think shotguns make a lousy home defense weapon.

 | Background Check Question - CoastieGM on 4/30/13 at 5:36 pm I know that a CCL holder in Texas does not have to undergo a background check to purchase a firearm.
