For those of you headed this way next weekend ...........................

Here are the local MSM weather sites .............................. PLEASE bear in mind, though, that Houston's "meteorologists" leave a LOT to be desired - they don't know the difference between sleet & snow ..................................

So, I asked LawDog how one goes about getting credentialed for the NRA convention ...............................

my "Blog Father" got back to me immediately with the info; the problem I'm experiencing is getting the NRA to even acknowledge my existence - so far, I have eMailed THREE {count'em, THREE} requests, with a response of ................................... crickets.

I'm still attending the convention {no worries about travel/accommodations, since it's in Houston in May}, but I would really, REALLY appreciate a response, even if they tell me to kiss their collective fundament for press credentials.  Guess being published on FrontPage Magazine, & owing 4 firearms doesn't carry any weight with them .................................. oh well ....................................

On a related but lighter note - finally got to the range today to try out my Christmas gift: 
Springfield XD 9 mm, 4" barrel .......................................... it won't replace my Bersa .380 in my affections, but it's one he##uva lot more comfortable for me to use than the FodGuy's Bersa .40
