I want a BBQ rig!

[LoboGunLeather]

After hearing that video clip, I am surprised he is STILL an NRA Board member! I would definitely save your money that you would have spent on HIS book and use it on a fine BBQ rig.

BTW, all the BBQ rigs pictured here are amazing!

It may help in understanding Ranger Joaquin Jackson's thoughts and opinions to know a couple of things:

1. His oldest son, after discharge from the USMC, was convicted of murdering a homosexual man during an armed robbery, and is now serving time in a New Mexico penitentiary.

2. One of Jackson's most troubling investigations involved a senseless murder and assault of 3 people on a peaceful boating trip on the border by 3 adolescent Mexican boys out shooting rifles without supervision. Straightforward thrill killing without any signs of remorse, basically started shooting at people in a boat on the river, then hunted them down to finish them off. Killed a young man, seriously wounded the wife, and also wounded the river guide, then ate lunch and went home.

I may not agree with Ranger Jackson on every point, but the man has certainly earned the right to his opinions, after about 10 years as a Texas DPS officer another 30 years as a Texas Ranger.

I like em fancy rigs too...........A feller here on the forum is a sport this'n







.

I need one of these in the worst way!

 

[Iggy]

I reckon you could talk to Dave and he'd make you one in the worst way you wanted it.

keith44spl thank you for posting that video clip.I can now save the money I was going to spend on his book.And save it for a bbq rig .

Well,
All I'm gonna say is Jackson doesn't represent my values and my NRA.

Kinda like an ol catfish talking outta both sides of his mouth.

He supports everyone's rights to 'keep and bear arms'....
But, with limitations toward all us law abiding folks.

I personally don't give a flip what's happen in his personal life to sour him up on the rest of us....

I just know a load of horse manure when it's shoveled up like that.



Now, back to the subject at hand..........

There's a Lawman wearing this rig sumwhere's up Montana way.

It is not my intent to be rude or argumentative, but my point is that we must understand what motivates those with whom we disagree on 2nd Amendment issues in order to effectively communicate our positions.

Here in Colorado there is a gentleman named Mauser who has been very active in recent years stumping for several "gun control" measures. I have not met Mr. Mauser, but I know that he lost a teenaged son in the Columbine School incident. I do not agree with Mr. Mauser, but I can certainly empathize with his opinions, and I understand that these issues are so closely tied in to his emotions that it would be extremely difficult for him to relate to any logic or reason in discussions of these issues.

Down in Texas there is a gentleman named Jackson, who has formulated an opinion to the effect that certain types of firearms do not belong in civilian hands. I do not agree with Mr. Jackson, but I understand that he has lost a son to serious alcohol abuse leading to a calculated crime against homosexuals resulting in a murder. I also understand that Mr. Jackson has been exposed through his long career in law enforcement to many victims of horrible crimes. I believe that Mr. Jackson's opinions have been strongly affected by his emotional reactions to tragedies. I doubt that any amount of reason or logical analysis is likely to change those opinions.

I do not dismiss these people because I disagree with their opinions or conclusions. I try to understand them and respect their rights to speak their minds openly.

I apologize for the thread drift here, but I believe these are important points to understand.

Ray, no need to apologize you made some very valid points, that all of us need to remember. At this point and time, those of us who enjoy the various shooting sports need to be the sane and sober ones. The last thing we need is for the public at large to think of us as loud uncaring louts, and bullies.

Just sent him an email...

 

[keith44spl]

Well, I hope to get one in the future... if I only could afford it...

FYI, I like most Nick Nolte movies, especially Extreme Prejudice. Love this movie.

With a little research I have found out that Chisholm's Trail is making them and I really love their adaptation of Jack Benteen's rig.

I admire Texas Ranger's, wish I could be one. With that being said,

I'd never wear it with that type of belt buckle as seen in the picture. Simply out of respect.

Those 'Ranger' buckles are available to the general public...




Nice buckles just finish's it off....even a workin rig

Not all of those style of buckles are 'Ranger' buckles....




Like you I prefer my own style.


I've worn this set below for over 30 years..........

Garcia's 3/4" and 1" sets



Been sporting these buckles on and off for the last ten years on several different belts....

Vogt Gold River 3/4" and 1" sets

Su Amigo,

[Eaglestroker]

Great work as always,Dave. Wouldn't mind one myself as my swivel skills are non existent.

This is one of the few I've made that qualify as a bbq rig...hardly on the same plain as a nice Sheridan rig. Customers don't usually like the price tag of good buckle sets or mine don't anyways.

[keith44spl]

They have been deemed acceptable at most functions in Wyoming too.

 

[TxTrooper]

These were made in the Texas Prison System. The german silver grips and 4 piece buckle sets were made by one inmate. The belts and holsters by another. They always do any excellent job.

Wow! You have been here for years, and THIS is your first post, just WOW!

TxTrooper,

Welcome to the forum. It's about time.

Those Texas inmates do some mighty fine work.

Do they still do this kind of thing? I was under the impression they didn't produce leather good anymore.

Here's a holster for a Texas beef B-B-Q. Ooops. Has a Colt in it.

Hi Iggy, Thanks for the welcome, I was slow getting started. TDCJ still operates the craft shops. The pants belt and buckle set in one of the photos is only a few months old.

I know, I was a little slow starting
