Ask Rip #65 | What Yankees need to know about Texas BBQ

Oh man. Brent's face at 5:27: "Well look at that. Look what you can learn on Ask Rip."

So Nick is the best shot, and therefore the hardest to kill. Good to know. Wish I had enough property for an outside range. These indoor ranges don't let you draw from the holster.

Glad Rip got the pronunciation of my username right. Yes, same username across multiple social media platforms, because nothing to hide, for an unassuming 55 year old empty nester living in the suburbs.

[AndrewLewis]

Are you planning something?

Interesting that you have a shooting range on your property. Back in the 1960's we lived on a suburban house block and I had a slug gun (maybe you call them bb guns?). It use to use .177 slugs. So you could not fire it around the property as the slugs use to "ping" on the iron fences so I use to shoot it down the hallway into the main bedroom, I could hit a match head at 50 feet, it had a scope on it. I had a piece chip board as a back stop, but the slugs use to go through it into the soft plaster walls, mum and dad were not impressed.

What is your opinion on the 3D printable firearms? I heard a comment that the 2nd amendment allows folk to bear arms therefore folk should be also allowed to make them even if they are difficult to detect. Does the state of Texas have regulations on printable firearms?

[Mark Rippetoe]

Oh god, CNN must have found a new shiny object. Seeing as how a 3D printer is tens of thousands of dollars, and the guns are good for no more than a few rounds, and physical objects can be detected, I think I'd rather just buy another gun.

You folk over there get all the new tech, if we were to try and print a 3D firearm here we would end up in the slammer. Although I think one of your Federal Judges has shut down the posting of the instructions on line. I believe there are designs that incorporate part of the barrel in the actual shell of the ammunition thereby increasing the output before the gun shatters.
Anyway it was on NBC, is that some sort of left leaning news corporation over there? It only comes on here when no one is watching TV.

In regard to to your smoke orientated BBQ,s we use over here (not that we smoke stuff here much, we are more inclined to BBQ anything including but not limited to Shrimp, Pineapple, Mutton, Kangaroo, Emu, Rabbit, Pork, Lamb, Beef and various marinated stuff) is Iron Bark, Cherry,Apple.

Just a side note, did you know that the consumption of Kangaroo meat will increase one's vertical jump by about 10%?

Question for Brent:

What was your go to barbecue during your time in New York?

[Mark E. Hurling]

I'd think CNN would be enthusiastically supporting this. I'm thinking the Line of Fire movie where John Malkovich had a plastic gun to kill POTUS. Since they despise Trump so much and all.

It took one shot for Booth, one shot for Guiteau, and two shots for Csolgosz to git er done when they assassinated the POTUS du jour.

CNN should be applauding this like SNL did when Chevy Chase had so much fun with Ford back in the 70's.

History: it's an unforgiving bitch even if you aren't an expert.

Rip, do you do your own bbq? Is there a typical time/temperature you smoke?
