RE: Help with gun selection
As another Texas resident, let me suggest OP gets a Remington 870 or Mossberg 500. Both of these shotguns are in 12 gauge. You do NOT need a CHL to carry one. Texas law does no require anything special or forbid the public open carry of a long gun. You cannot carry it a fashion to cause alarm however. Carrying one out in a field doing agg inspection would in no way cause alarm.
I would not suggest any pistol caliber for dealing with a gator or hog. The Judge and similar guns are sales gimmicks and awful choices for a defensive pistol.
The shotgun offers better accuracy and control. It is also cheaper in cost and no CHL requirements.
This is what the spread pattern of a .410 gauge Winchester PDX1 shell looks like. One shot was fired at 5 meters, the second fired at 3 meters. You might as well beat the gator with the gun.

This is a Bond Arms (made in Texas) derringer, double barreled .410/45 Colt chambered. Part of my Western collection, not a serious defensive consideration.

Balloon payment on an auto loan? What's next, ARM loans for vehicles? I saw something the other day about an 8 year auto loan!

RE: Taking advantage of the stupid!
Who is Dave Ramsey, and why should I care what he thinks of what I do?
IMO, that is part of what is wrong with the world today: Too many "experts" telling us common folks how we should live, what we should eat, and what we should do. I pretty much ignore them. I think more people should do the same!
The credit union and I own two vehicles. The credit union lets me drive them anytime I want, in return for making the payments and keeping them insured.
The bank and I own a house. The bank lets me live in it in return for making the payments. The bank pays the taxes and insurance out of an escrow account.
I'm OK with that. I get what I want, and the credit union and the bank make a profit that they can lend to others.
Dave Ramsey just preaches conservative financial practices "like Grandma would tell you" according to Dave. Just good sound advice to help others avoid paying "stupid tax". Dave tells his radio show callers the obvious answer they need to hear but should have had to ask, but does so in an entertaining manner.
I agree on your comment about "experts". Dave would be an exception however.

RE: Seems like they all do this
A lot of people prefer the portable Garmins, etc.. to the built in nav systems. Buy your vehicle with the cloth seats you want, plug in a garmin throw it in the dash.

RE: Trailer insurance question
I have my TT insurance with my auto carrier, then there is no doubt of who is covering what when we are on the road! To my surprise, I found my carrier replaces items at full retail pricing. They do not use third party appraisers.

RE: RV Fuel Issues & Prices - Post 'Em Here!
Shut down for maintenance? No-Shut down for profit. And the fear by the refinery that they may be off line for longer than expected. That brings up more prices at the pump. It's either this way or a planned fire. Remember, we have to do something to increase prices at pump.
That's not very fair, or accurate..
A plant on shut down is not producing and losing money. Plants also need to shut down for maintenance and repairs, switching blends and making changes. If they never shut down and then blow up one day for lack of maintenance, people would then blame them for being greedy and being unsafe.

RE: What are u or would you use to tow this 26 Tbud trailer..
Why would you NOT get the HD package? Better to have more than less later on. Also consider resale, other buyers would want that HD.

RE: Hello Ram 1500 Diesel!
Small diesels are a welcome sight to the US auto market, I wish we would see more of them. Still not going back to Dodge/Chry/Ram though.

RE: How do you decorate your campsite?
I decorate around the fire ring with a few folding chairs if that counts.

RE: Finding Past Owner
Just wondering if it is possible to locate the past owner of a 2006 Grand Junction fifth wheel we purchased. Don't need address or anything personal. Just would like to ask them a couple questions. What is the best possible way to try and get connected with them. Anyone have any suggestions. Thank you.
Whatever county it was purchased in will have the previous owner as the transfer. If it was transferred to a dealer just look back further.
You will need the VIN and just run the check yourself or call and ask help.
This information is still sold by state DMV's to this date. I access this information all the time, I can run your plate, VIN, DL, name, address, you name it right from my cell phone.

RE: Calls for money
Call them first and ask for money, the word will get out and then nobody will call you looking for money. maybe your friends/family are just being pro-active?

RE: Hole in Slide Out Roof
How about using a an epoxy hull repair kit for a boat? It wouldn't need any support and can be applied easily and smoothed. I fixed a small stump hole in my boat hull with it, easy as pie.

We took our first son camping at 3 months in a tent, the second son started at 1 month in a TT. Both survived nicely.
