Texan Forever

@ToddGerritzen @MrColionNoir LOL… Houston ain’t some Wild West town… it’s the 4th largest city! Duh!

@praq1966 @MrColionNoir Because hes in Houston! Duh!

James Harden got arrested in Houston because his gun was allegedly sitting in his car without a holster. In Texas. A constitutional carry state. Same gun. Same car. Same person. But if it’s in a holster, he drives home. If it’s sitting bare on the seat, he gets booked. That’s the kind of technicality that turns a law-abiding person into a criminal overnight. And here’s the part nobody wants to answer: Does a holster actually make him safer? Or does it just give the government one more box to check before they cuff you? Because the criminals carjacking people at 3 AM in Houston are not worried about holster laws. The only people these laws usually trap are the ones trying to follow the law in the first place. So be honest… Should James Harden have been arrested over this? Or is Texas pretending to be pro-2A while still letting tiny technicalities chip away at your rights? Drop your answer below.

@Jefferson4Truth @Texan6851 @MrColionNoir Tommy is blocked. 💛

@praq1966 @Texan6851 @MrColionNoir Passive aggressive poster is upset.

@UnpolishedSaint @MrColionNoir I do as well, sir… it was a simple question… turned into an insult laden broohaha which does not bode well for 2A crew on X… “believe what we believe and zero questions will be tolerated!!!” Not a good look… 🤬

@praq1966 @MrColionNoir I have a loaded gun on my person at all times. why? None of your business, that's why.

@Jefferson4Truth @Texan6851 @MrColionNoir You do you as well. If you can’t handle a simple question then… damn dude… 🤷‍♂️

@praq1966 @Texan6851 @MrColionNoir You do you. Don’t worry how we handle our tools.

@AdamVergara13 @MrColionNoir Then it was concealed and perfectly legal 🤣

@praq1966 @MrColionNoir Dude I kept one under a towel on the passenger seat of my car when I was driving back from dropping someone off at the airport in an unfamiliar city.

@CraigSwann1 @MrColionNoir Also true

@praq1966 @MrColionNoir That is a good question, but no answer justifies this arrest.

@VinasRick @MrColionNoir True

@praq1966 @MrColionNoir Before the law went into effect, I used to keep my EDC on the seat, or on the console, without a holster, all the time. Why is this silly law even in effect? There is no safety reason for this!

@touchhgrass @MrColionNoir Nobody is saying you can’t have it… in the car, on you, whatever… that’s really not the question I asked, either… 🤷🏼‍♂️

@praq1966 @MrColionNoir It’s The Bill of Rights, not Needs.

@Texan6851 @MrColionNoir Different approaches for different people, I guess… I keep mine in the console, but that’s just me… I’ve lived all over and have never needed it, though…🤷🏼‍♂️

@praq1966 @MrColionNoir So that it's in reach if he needs it? What kind of question is that? Mine stays on the seat beside me as well, first I've heard about this "holster law"

@gunsguitarscars @MrColionNoir Lived there… for many years… loved it and still love it… 😎

@praq1966 @MrColionNoir Have you been to Houston?

@thereal_SnS I am and do, when available… “availability” is key, like you said… 🤷🏼‍♂️

🧵1/ Are you willing to pay more for products made in the USA? I know I am. The problem is that after decades of declining American manufacturing, many industries simply don’t offer American-made alternatives anymore.

@FiredUpCoug Agreed, but I deleted to .22… haven’t come up with a real “need” that… 😎

My revised list of five essential firearms, and why each earns a place: 1. .22 Long Rifle The perfect firearm for training new shooters to the sport. Ammunition is inexpensive, recoil is non-existent, and it's an excellent survival tool for hunting small game. 2. Handgun (9mm, .45 ACP, .380 ACP, or your preferred caliber) The most practical defensive firearm. Suitable for home defense, concealed carry, vehicle carry, and everyday personal protection. 3. 12-Gauge Shotgun Ideally with interchangeable barrels; one smoothbore for shot and one rifled for slugs. Extremely versatile, capable of handling home defense, bird hunting, and even large game hunting when equipped with the rifled barrel. 4. .223/5.56 Semi-Automatic Rifle One of the most versatile rifles available. Effective for home defense, predator and varmint control, recreational shooting, training, and general-purpose use. Plus, it looks cool and you can mount a flashlight, laser pointer, or a confetti cannon to it. 5. Bolt-Action Hunting Rifle The king of long-range accuracy and large-game hunting. Whether chambered in .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, or another suitable cartridge, a quality bolt gun excels at marksmanship and provides reach and power beyond what the other firearms on this list offer. Together, these five firearms cover nearly every common sporting, hunting, training, and defensive role a typical American shooter is likely to encounter.

@FiredUpCoug A tragic truth… 🤷‍♂️

A fact few Europeans know: Roughly 90% of all American firearms have been tragically lost in boating accidents.

Hard to disagree…

@DireStraits77 The live album box set… 🤘🏼

Hey Dire Straits fans :) What’s your latest discovery from the band?

@RantBruschi101 @RockNRoLL_85 💯

@RockNRoLL_85 The Who Black Sabbath Led Zeppelin Pink Floyd

Which 4 Bands owned the 70s?

@thequeenofrust @TraditionSarah Most older, straight, white men get told all the time what is wrong with them. We rarely, if at all, get a compliment. We are so used to it that actually getting a compliment catches us completely off guard… 🤷‍♂️

@TraditionSarah I’m down with this suggestion, men don’t get complimented enough!

You gals should compliment men more, it’s the funnest thing. I told an older gentleman at the grocery story this morning I loved his shirt (it had a big ol bass fish on it and was a cool shirt). The way he lit up was the best part. Men deserve compliments.

@ChefGruel It’s actually quite gross how they handle food… but people eat them… I, personally, won’t touch them… I have them same issue with “food trucks”… won’t touch ‘em… brick/mortar or nothing… I don’t care how “good” their food is… 🤷🏼‍♂️

My issue isn’t with the questionable food safety habits, it’s up to the customer to decide if they want to take this risk. My issue is with the uneven playing field for brick and mortars. They would be shutdown asap for this, fined and publicly shamed. A street vendor, however, gets to operate completely under the table.

@jeffomiller @RockNRoLL_85 The subtlety with which he plays with is extraordinary… extremely underrated ❤️🇺🇸

@praq1966 @RockNRoLL_85 Knopfler is amazingly underrated

Two bands I’ve been into a lot lately!! Dire Straits & The Band!! Which two bands have you been into of late?
