    Airsoft here as well I haven't played in a while I also like the civil war I want a repo or actual cap and ball from the civil war but handgun permit is a pain to get and never shot black powder so I would need some training so I don't get hurt

    Buy in PA. No permit needed. It's the same as buying a pellet pistol. Because of that when you come back behind the iron curtain, as long as you have FPID card, your good. As far as learning ask on the forum. Some good guys on here that have a few years under their belts.

    References and word of mouth are key. Any reputable company should be happy to give them. I will check with my clients first but they are normally happy to have somebody contact them.

    Most references are from recent jobs and that is fine. Ask for a reference from older jobs. I would be more concerned with how their work holds up over the years. I have heard way to many contractors say "As long as it looks good until the check clears"

    In my profession I see a lot of trade work from the start of a project to years after completion. Some of the things I have seen contractors do is criminal.

    A great deal is not always a bad thing. Try to figure out why the difference in price. Is one company using better materials, more cement, etc. Sometimes in the long run the cheaper price isn't always the best. As you said watch out for "extra" charges. Any contractor from the area should know full well what kind of conditions are present at your area. There is always exceptions but those costs should full well be disclosed before hand.

    I haven't been to one of these events since like march. I'd love to come by. I have no plans for that day either, my only problem is I have no shells. Anyone know if cabellas has the bulk packs in stock and how much they're going for? Maybe I'll take a ride mid week.

    They have had a decent supply lately. $70 for a case (250 shells)

    I will throw this idea out there. I live 15 minutes from the trap range. If everybody is serious we could have an "after picnic" at my place. This month is no good for me as I just destroyed my yard but the second half of next month would work or fall time. We do it in August the pool will be open. Might as well bring the women and children and go all out. Any thoughts?

    They do make home defense rounds for 9mm that is suppose to cut down on penetration although I have no experience using them.

    Personally I would lean towards the shotgun. For starters aim is less of an issue. More than likely after 1 shot the intruder is going to retreat. Identifying and engaging an intruder in the dark will probably happen in 12' or less. If using bird shot maybe shot one doesn't drop somebody but shot 2,3 or 4 will. Also consider your follow up shot. Center of mass becomes less critical with a shotgun. Considering muzzle rise and being left or right of center mass you could blindly rip off 4-5 shots and still easily be hitting in a lethal area. One other thing to consider is a shotgun offers an extension of your hands. But of the gun or barrel end. Similar to a Bo in martial arts. Most shotguns are pretty easy to feed extra shells into as time permits.

    I have seen you on the shotgun and seen how comfortable you are with one so I see no issue there. Also as you said that's your comfort zone.

    One other round to consider is the .223. From some of the reports I have seen after hitting one layer of Sheetrock they loose power quick.

    As for storage there are home defense brackets that you can mount to a wall that are lockable. Takes up a lot less room than a safe and allows easy access. I think Mosseberg even makes one.

    Hitting ammo in the grass is no different than hitting rocks. Either one is going to be hauling ass out of the chute. Even if the prime was hit with a blade and it was set off because it is not contained in a restricted space it will have very little power.

    I wouldn't mind finding some ammo laying around. I guy I know is a landlord. His tenant moved out and left behind a 5 gallon bucket full of loose live rounds. Instead of calling me to take it off his hands he called the police to remove the bucket. Now that is sad.

    So I have a pretty odd hobby that ive been doing sinse I was about 6 or 7 I collect business cards and at last count about 6 months ago i have about 1.3 Million . I hope one day to be put in the Guinness Book of World Records. The current record is a bit over 900,000 but the owner of the collection has passed away and i know I have more at the moment but Im waiting till I have amassed enough to make sure they next guy has to work for it. I have business cards from former presidents,politicians mayors,governors you name it i got it for the most part haha There are some I am still searching for but are pretty rare to come across but I'll get them sooner or later.

    How do you even keep track of all of them to avoid duplicates? Pm me your address and I will send you one of mine.
