    Fully agree, our side has made significant strides recently; I can only imagine the long hours they have been putting in.

    I do want to point out, not all ranges were/are charging per gun for qualifications though. When I did my initial qualification at Shooters for example, I had two guns signed off on for the price of one. I'd have to check my notes, but I think they did up to five or ten before they charged an extra fee. They were also cheaper than many other ranges. As mentioned in this thread, they are also offering to requalify 4000 people under the new rules at no charge, I was one of them. Let's say they can get the required FBI Q Targets for 50 cents a pop (they use the cardboard version). That's $2000 out of Shooters' pocket just on targets, assuming all 4000 people come back to requalify. Labor costs are likely fixed, unless they needed to increase employee work hours to get them done, I don't know. But it's still work hours they are putting in while not generating revenue. They also have to close those lanes to potential paying customers for the qualification. 

    How many other ranges are doing that? I think more are going the opposite route and charging for requalification. Some of them forced people to pay for additional courses before letting them qualify in the first place also. I agree it is the range's right to do so, it's their business and they can set their own policies and rates as they wish. Just as it's my right to go someplace else, for as long as there's still options out there. 

    When I went to Shooters to requalify, I purchased a bit over $250 worth of merchandise as a small thank you. They'd get much more of my money from other purchases if they weren't nearly an hour away (more when shore traffic is factored in). The places charging at every chance they can... I won't spend a dime there unless I have no other choice. 

    Just remember that some ranges that have qualified THOUSANDS of RPO's,  and Security using the old standards.  It is not the ranges fault that the state changed the rules(for the better for us).  Some ranges can absorb that loss and some cant.  The slight cost for the requal covers the renewal in 2 yrs anyway so the cost is almost moot at this point.  Renewal should be a breeze.

    I consider it a gift that we dont have to qualify with every gun anymore.  More guns meant more money.  That is now gone.  Send the form in.  Thanks to Dan Schmutter ,  Scott Bach,  Evan Nappen, Anthony Colandro and all others that were involved with getting these restrictions removed.  These guys are doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes.  Pay attention people.

    According to the Speer website,  these bullets have:

    "Gold Dot Carry Gun

    Compact pistols have never offered this level of protection. We've built upon the law-enforcement proven Gold Dot G2 bullet, optimizing the design and loading to provide superior feeding, ballistics and terminal performance through compact concealed handguns. Gold Dot Carry Gun features the original’s exclusive bullet nose design. Instead of a large hollow-point cavity, it has a shallow dish filled with a high-performance elastomer. On impact, the material is forced into engineered internal fissures to start the expansion process. The result is extremely uniform expansion, better separation of the petals, and more consistent penetration across barrier types."

    So my question would be if these are in the same category as the Hornady Critical duty/defense as non hollow point.  It would be great if we could carry these.  I tried to pose the question to the firearms unit but I cannot for the life of me find any way to contact them for a general question.  Feel free to let me know what you think.

    I’ll have to check this when I get home. I have a Mikita electric chainsaw (which is surprisingly good!), offhand it’s 60V. I’d be interested to see cell voltage. Also charge rates. 
     

    EDIT: nope, it’s 36V. 

    I’m not a battery expert, but it might be a fun little learning process. I might be interested in buying a refurb pack, if I can get one cheap, to do a little sacrificial testing.

    I have the Snap Safe Titan XL.  It holds about 10 long guns,  a bunch of ammo for weight,  and a nice shelf system that stores the handguns nicely.  I cant seem to find this model for sale anywhere lately.  Maybe they stopped making them.  They dropped it off and I carried it in piece by piece.  I love this thing.  You are not getting into it with a pair of screwdrivers.  By the time they get the grinder going the cops should be there if I am not. snapsafesupertitan.jpg.0840b70e46a5724c3f7b8d6b6a2831e8.jpg

    He actively campaigned for Democrat Andrew Gillum against DeSantiis in Florida.

    Hated Trump, loved Biden/Obama.. 

    Also, hosted a celebrity fundraiser for Hillary Clinton at his home in the Hamptons.

    They almost had a sex crazed crack addict...I can even  imagine what Florida would be like now if he got in.

    I live in Rutherford for the last 30 years.  It is one of the last great small towns around.  Access to everything is easy,  and the schools are pretty good.  PD is also excellent in what they do.  Permits are a breeze.  Dont even think twice.
