    I sold a few of my musical instruments online. I always set up the meeting at the police station or at least Guitar Center. I’m not doing that anymore. I found the site Reverb and I’ve been selling some of my music gears there, much safer than meeting on the streets.

    I’m packing heat but only for self-defense, never want to take a life or shoot anyone over a guitar or an amp. If I were to get robbed and my life is not being threatened( let’s say the perp just grabs my guitar and runs away), I would not shoot the *******, but if my life is being threatened, I would empty that magazine in a heartbeat.

    Anything can get you killed in Texas because people are ****ing stupid with their guns. I say this as an avid shooter and hunter. I ****ing hate going to the range because half of the people there have no business owning a gun.

    Yes, that maybe true in TX, but parking in someone’s driveway in the early morning hours with the headlights off is not the wisest move anywhere.

    What do you know about Texas culture? Aren't you from Vietnam?

    American Shooting Center on Westheimer has bullet holes in some of the oddest/scariest spots you'll ever see.

    This is what AMAZON is awesome.

    Jeff Bezos has made it safe for everyone to buy and sell things.

    Tell that to bobrek, he’s my neighbor in Florida. If he ever were to take me up on my offer to have a cup of coffee, he can tape me saying hi to you and tell you liberals in here what I really think about you guys in Vietnamese.

    Amazon is the epicenter of scalping. It literally is one of the reasons why you see 900 dollar ps5s.

    The worst is all the ****ers that bring 4 tacticool ARs with all the bells and whistles attached to their rails that can't hit paper at 50 yards. Go through 50 rounds just to sight in a scope.

    Yep. Will only shoot someone if I think my family is danger. No piece of property I own is worth taking someone's life for. You can have my car or whatever. That is what insurance is for.

    Sounds like one of the reasons I hate "Castle Law- that happens outside of the castle" . . . aka "Stand your ground"
    Along with no license needed for guns

    Some idiot spraying the whole block and hitting everyone but the intended target
