I agree with Phoebe Ann on this one. As a fairly new member myself I have observed how the original senior members stick together...........and why not! I just pick and choose my replys and if I get jumped on by the masses..........I stick with my guns if I think I'm right. But as it turns out..........out half the time I step back and take another look at what I said and discover maybe I was over zealous. I think the concerns with Pruitt's being raided........which thank goodness didn't happen.........and the thread being partially hijacked heated up some tempers. Stay if you want........leave if you want but like Phoebe Ann I'm hanging around.

Look at that, the man, the myth, the legend! Glad to see Mr. Pruett here with us. I am happy to see the rumors of your demise have been greatley exagerated.

Phoebe, you know civics well enough to know the first ammendment applies to the GOVERNMENT. This forum is privately owned, and the owner can control and edit anything he sees fit. Posters have no free speech rights here.

This site IS open enough that different opinions, even goofy radical ones, are tolerated by the site owner. However, they do not have to be.

Also glad that the question was finally answered.... woohoo

and....
so as for the people getting all disgruntled, please understand often times what you read as anger or whatever might just be misread, or sometimes what is typed is meant in a way that, well comes off a bit different. No one will ever agree with you all the time, nor will you always agree with them. No one should leave over a misunderstanding or even over a simple disagreement... my

This is my first email on Texas Gun Talk and I like it.
On behalf of the Pruett family and our incredible staff
HAPPY 4th! GOD BLESS AMERICA, GOD BLESS TEXAS
AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY! Jim Pruett

Thanks for joining us Sir! It's nice to hear the truth from the horse's mouth so to speak.

Technically speaking, yes the site being "private property" and all, it's not necessarily 100% free speech. The only "infringements" you'll ever see from us is that we don't tolerate racism or personal attacks. Other than that everyone is always welcome to voice their opinion, even if it may not be a popular one.

I humbly stand corrected. 叩頭

While I'm a "letter of the law" person who doesn't wish to see broad interpretations of the constitution, I erred in applying the 1st Ammendment to this site. But hopefully even you get my point...imho, Bodacious would do well to state his case and not walk away, even if his opinion is contrary to the majority. This is the very thing that strengthens truth (dialog between differing opinions.)

If Phoebe Ann can have differing opinions than most here, Bodacious can fare just fine.

Default Jim Pruett's Guns & Ammo rumor is incorrect

Just confirming that the rumor is incorrect. Called Pruetts yesterday, talked to Jim, and he confirmed that the rumor was incorrect. Later in the day, went by the store, made some purchases, and Pruetts was business as usual.

If I had heard the rumor sooner, I would have called or gone by to get the straight scoop immediately.
