    F*n imbeciles. They know damned well (or should) that, even if passed by the Colorado Senate and signed into law, virtually that entire load of crap is certain to fail Bruen/Heller scrutiny, and probably sooner, rather than later (SCOTUS). What a monumental waste of time (of course, how much can a dip$h*t's time be worth, anyway?) and energy. I passed through Colorado a few times in the 70s, and visited some clients there in the 80's & 90's, and, even by the end of that period, I had the impression that it was politically fairly conservative (with a few exceptions such as Aspen). WTF happened?

    I believe the conventional answer (which admittedly I have not researched) is that Californians, sick of the far left policies in their home state, moved en masse to Colorado, and ruined that state by bringing their same awful politics with them.

  2. Looks like I'm a dollar short and a day late on this one.  And sadly, I'm going to need an optic for the Sub2000 gen. 3 that I'm probably going to purchase.  I have a few of those Romeo 5's, and love the shake awake feature, where you can keep them stored ready for use and the red dot comes on as soon as you pick them up.


  3. I've seen some of his videos, and they appear to be solid.  I see that he is giving a three day class in Parlin, NJ June 8-10th, 2024.  I'm seriously considering attending, but as that's a big commitment of time and $, I'm wondering if anyone has trained with him (Mickey Schuch), or has any other intel about his classes?

    LOL what's funny is they mag dump, and reload, not one time moving to cover or at concealment. What kind of training is that to just stand there?

    And this is Texas, iirc, I'd expect some kind of gun culture type common sense amongst every one there.

    That, plus the mindlessness of just dumping one mag after another, without even stopping to think about what they are doing, presumably until they run out of ammo.  Wonder what their plan was if there was still a threat after that?

    "DOJ agents seized approximately 11 military-style machine guns, 133 handguns, 37 rifles, 60 assault rifles, 7 shotguns, 20 silencers, 4 flare guns, 3,000 large capacity magazines, approximately one million rounds of miscellaneous caliber ammunition, and dozens of rifle receivers and pistol frames."

    Ok, some of this is illegal and it sounds like he's probably up to no good but I'm still a little jealous and feel like I have some catching up to do.

    Most of the time these stories are about a guy having "an arsenal" of 10-15 firearms and a few thousand rounds of ammunition, so it's ho-hum.  But this was truly impressive (OK, except maybe for the shotguns).

    That list has restaurants (unqualified) and bars listed as prohibited:

    "NO 7(a)(15): Restaurant or bar"

    I'm pretty sure the prohibition is on places that serve alcohol, and there are quite a few restaurants that do not. I have been carrying in those restaurants and will continue to do so until I receive authoritative guidance that it is prohibited.

    I believe this is correct, with the caveat that if it's a BYO, you can't consume any alcohol.


  8. I just did a quick check and found out that Gun For Hire has many Glocks available for rental, including the 43x and 48.  Might be worth the drive for you to check them out.  BTW, it's a pretty impressive place, well worth seeing.

  9. Hey, welcome to our clubhouse.  The six round limit on shotguns (6 + 1) in NJ applies only to semiautos.  There is no limit on pumps. I do not know how mini shells are treated under the law.  Perhaps someone else can weigh in on that.


  10. My wife and I have been down here for a few weeks enjoying life in the land of sunshine and freedom.  A couple of days ago we got together with some long-time friends from New Jersey who have been down here for almost 20 years.  At one point the conversation turned to guns. (Of course I was carrying, unbeknownst to them.) They told me that there was a law that had been passed that made it legal for anyone to carry a gun.  I played along, but pointed out that there are rarely any shootings taking place.  They told me that there are a lot of shootings from road rage incidents, where people use Stand Your Ground Laws as a defense, claiming that they had been attacked.  I had never heard that, but I let the subject drop.  Anyone know if this is true?

    Later, back at their house, my friend showed me a baseball bat he keeps in the bedroom in case of intruders.  I wanted to say that I preferred the shotgun that I keep handy, but being a good friend, I kept my mouth shut. 


  11. Have you looked at the hybrids, with leather or foam against your skin and kydex on the outside to support the gun?  Not sure that would solve your problem, as I generally find the butt of the gun digging into me is more the problem than the actual holster, but it might be worth a look. 


  12. Yes, no doubt there are advantages to having a permit, not the least of which is reciprocity.  I have had a Florida CCW permit for many years, and am now well into my second one.  I have heard that there are felony traps in carrying without a permit, for instance getting within 1000 feet of a school zone.
