I did find your self-defensive rant a little tiresome, however.

Lol, sorry about that, it's easier to put that out there once versus having to deal with defending the reasons why the Desert Eagle is as good as any gun

In fairness, you did create a kind of self-fulfilling prophecy by posting some self-defensive posturing about your guns that was unnecessary. Your introduction into this subforum was more or less "I have Desert Eagles. Want to make something out of it?" Now you find that everybody loves your guns but was distracted by your unrelated rant.

Don't sweat it. And don't feel you have to defend your choice of firearms. Different strokes for different folks.

You really set yourself up for it. Ever go out with a girl who when she first finds out you are attracted to her in some way says "I'm not easy"? I have, on occasion. Because they are easy.

Sortof like someone saying "Not be be a ****, but..." and then they go right ahead and are a ****.

Anyway, nothing wrong with liking what you like. You like the DE, fine, I think they are pretty cool myself, I just can't CCW one very well.

"The fact that you have REPLICA written down the side of your gun… and the fact that I've got DESERT EAGLE POINT FIVE-O written on the side of mine... should precipitate your balls into shrinking…"

Love that movie!

I love how many CA gun people have 370Z's... Where do you guys go shooting? I'm originally from CA as well and I come back all the time. We should all rollout to a range one day (I prefer Angeles shooting Range in Sylmar)

There are lot's of gun people out here, it's just that we are out-numbered by the 'tards in the coastal areas. If you haven't already, you should check out Calguns. I'm in the I.E. and I prefer avoiding ranges at all costs so I usually drive out to the high desert passed Victorville to find an empty piece of desert. Which reminds me that I still have to zero the glass on my REPR.

Yeah, sorry about that... I get crap for them ALL the time, the guys at a range laughed at the sight of 3 and he told my buddy (didn't know it was my buddy) and "said what idiot owns 3 of these POS's?" I walked out and showed him a video of the most beautiful shot at a deer, then he proceeded to STFU

Lol, I have, but it's more for shitz n giggles... In Texas you MUST conceal it, and I was carrying it, and I went to the most redneck of places, and you could see that I was OBVIOUSLY concealing a gun, so I got some weird but awesome looks, lol

I have heard of Calguns, I just never have joined... The issue IMO is that I bet there are a whole bunch of antigun people and maybe government people there, so no go for me... And being on this forum is all the forum I need, lol!!!
I go out to Lucerne Balley behind Big bear to shoot and hunt some times... (Shooting you a PM)

You have to be careful in Texas. They are very restrictive in their handgun laws.

-printing not allowed -""Concealed" means that the weapon cannot be visible, and that its presence cannot be discernible through ordinary observation. It is a criminal offense for a license holder to carry a handgun in plain view, or to intentionally fail to conceal the weapon."

-can't carry in a bar
-can't carry in a hospital or nursing home
-can't carry in a church
-"No Gun" signs have the force of law

An interesting set of laws in a generally conservative state like Texas. I contrast that with generally liberal Minnesota where I live where there's no distinction between open and concealed carry, the only restriction on carry is k-12 schools, and "No Gun" signs are meaningless.

If you are printing, you're not ccw'ing effectively. That is what I meant. You can't ccw it for beans. In la, that gets you detained a minute. Not sure about tx.

DEpointfive0 · 07-01-2012, 10:08 AM

Lol, guys, I got all the laws in TX, while carrying a Desert Eagle wasn't 100% Kosher to carry, it was for shitz and giggles, that night a police officer was outside and he pulled me aside and asked what I was carrying, and when I told him he was like, you know they serve fried chicken here... Not bear, LOL!!!
When it gets cold (yes it does get cold in Texas, lol) I tend to carry it more because I can wear a thicker coat

And CA is no carry at all, it USED to be open carry... (with the magazine out... [useless in my opinion])
Actually you CAN carry a long gun (unloaded) if you like being harassed by police, LOL

To be fair, CA is getting better county by county as each sheriff gets sued by Calguns. You are going to be in L.A. county which is impossible unless you're Sylvester Stalone and a few others, but right next door in San Bernardino county it is one of the easiest to get CCW. And the good thing is that if you get one from one of the more liberal issuing counties there are damn near no statewide restrictions other than K-12 schools.

And I saw in your other thread that you might be taking the 40. When you get to the 15 south you can check out my shooting spot that I told you about and release some of that long distance road trip stress with a few mags. It might make the last two hours into L.A. a little easier

I guess some of us take carrying more seriously than others. I now see why you are so defensive about your DE's. The problem you likely run into with people talking smack isn't anything to do with the firearm, however.

Robert_K · 07-01-2012, 11:32 AM

Well the law states in every state what the speed limit is but I bet you never go above that cause you might get pulled over.

Bars that do make a 51% or more profit off the sale of liquor are required by the State to post the 51% sign so CHL carriers know.

The State of Texas is looking into removing the "no carry" in to Churches.

And the "No Gun" sign are pointless here as I mentioned above. And NO business can ask you to leave for carrying a conceal handgun in the State of Texas.

Also... I never have to shovel heat out of my driveway.

Texas FTW!!!
