3 pointsLast time I shot clays was in 1988. I guess we'll find out if it's like riding a bike.

2 pointsI made this one out of full and half size cinder block. A couple bags of stone, and a tube of construction adhesive (a bead of glue on the outer edges only). About $75 total in material. So far it's been working out great.

2 pointsDon't worry, I'll be missing at least as many as you. I've only had a couple of outings shooting clays with long periods of time between them so at least I'll be in good company -Jim

1 pointjust talked to one of his office workers. brant or brent i think it was. dude was very receptive, and very appreciative sounding for all of the support they've been getting. i pretty much asked them to do anything they had to do(legally of course) to get that bill moving. very friendly sounding young man.

1 pointJust what's marked on the lower is necessary. SN and buyers info most important from your point of view. Otherwise, form goes nowhere, so meh!

1 pointNavy always called it a cover. At least while I was in. Never refered to my cover as a 'hat', or 'headgear'.

1 pointAll you have to do is call your belief system a "religion" and it gets a free ride. Misogyny, homophobia, the whole nine yards.

1 pointPeel, you'll be busting clays like a pro by the end of the day. Lot's of good people to give you pointers and advice. I would start shotgun shoppong now. This is a lot more fun than shooting paper!

1 pointI'm going to quote a poster from a discussion on this elsewhere because I really can't put it any better myself. But, but there are so many co-sponsors!! I explained to someone a few months back that a spike in co-sponsors – especially from those in tight electoral districts – means a bill is dead. The spike means the bill is being used as an opportunity to take credit for supporting something (reciprocity) without the harm of it becoming law. So a co-sponsor can go back and say, “Hell, I even co-sponsored the bill!” when in reality they are whispering to the House Speaker, “I really don’t want to take that vote before my election.” When Ryan says the timing is not right, that’s what he meant. Right now GOP members get to have it both ways – “supporting” reciprocity while not being responsible for it passing. Proof: There are enough co-sponsors today on HR 38 (the reciprocity act) that they can pretty much force a floor vote even without a committee vote. If they want this out of the House, they can do it without Ryan. Of course, that would assume “co-sponsor” is someone wishing to pass the bill into law, instead of someone looking to virtue signal on a bill that will never become law. So don’t hold your breath.

1 pointI'm awed by people who can forgive, for instance, someone who murdered a loved one. I think it's a special kind of grace to be able to do that. But I think several others on here have hit the nail on the head... in that you don't forgive while you're still under threat. I think that's the big difference in this situation. The threat, in this case - radical Islamic terrorists - continue to plot, continue to wage attacks, and continue to kill innocent people around the globe. So, the threat is still very much active and unfolding. To forgive under those unique circumstances strikes me not as magnanimous, but instead, just as letting one's guard down.

1 pointOr you could place them in the for sale section of the forum????? You would be reaching out to a significantly higher number of people than your friends/co-workers. Much more targeted way to do it IMO...particularly if you're planning to sell a revolver of some kind.

1 pointI can't forget, either. I was there. I was in my office on Greenwich St. in TriBeCa when the planes hit. Still, somewhat "in denial," I called a fellow employee (and internal client) of mine working at 7 WTC (where we had rented space). To my surprise, he answered! All the alarms going off in the background were horrific. He stayed on he phone for about 20 seconds and then had to go. Thankfully, he got out, as did everyone we had at 7WTC. Only 4 of our employees were casualties (4 people making sales calls in 1 & 2 WTC). Everyone evacuated my building and were just milling around on the ground, trying to account for co-workers, etc. We then heard this collective SCREAM from across the street. We all stepped into Greenwich St. just in time to witness the South Tower collapse right in front of us. Shortly thereafter, all those below a certain rank (which I was) were told to leave the area and head North. I found refuge at a cousin's apt. in Chelsea, and for the night in her parents' apartment nearby. This, because mass transit was completely shut down. I got home OK the next morning. We were not allowed back into TriBeCa for 3 weeks and, when we were allowed back, we had to show ID and proof of employment to LE that was maintaining a perimeter on Canal St. for another 3-4 weeks thereafter. The smell lingered on for months (i.e. burnt electrical wires and asbestos). Horrific. For me, it's not a question of "forgiveness." It's about holding people "accountable" for their actions, and "never forgetting.." i.e. never letting one's guard down against those that might do the same to us. Sure, I can forgive, but one still must accept the consequences of their actions. I could forgive a BG that murders a family member of mine, but I will ensure they still "ride the needle." And we must always be "on guard" to prevent any future attacks. I think, sometimes, people grow complacent after a long time has passed since the last "incident." Never grow complacent. Always stay "on guard." Never forget.

1 pointI remember.. as well as celebrations by some in on the streets of NY and NJ. Funny how that all got washed out and no longer exists without digging deep.

1 pointShould we tell Bob now that every one of us got ripped off by this vendor? <kidding...>

1 pointSame Company that built GFH & RTSP has the contract to build this indoor range. Crowley corrected his hollow point gaffe. So let's see where this goes. They leased it for 10 years. I think they ought to keep some sort of kitchen in the building so you can get a cheeseburger & a box of 9mm

1 pointJohn, We can't get the ammo! "Customers in Alaska and Hawaii are eligible to receive a free Hornady soft pistol case in place of the ammo. Customers in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Illinois, New Jersey, and New York are not eligible, due to state law, but are eligible to receive a free Hornady soft pistol case in place of the ammo." How about a nice soft pistol case instead? I went to buy one and this pissed me off so I did not pull the trigger!

1 pointNo, the Polack walks into work with a gun pointed to his head. His coworkers start laughing and he says, "don't laugh, you are next!"
