    How much ammo and clays do people normally run through? 

    That largely depends on how much we run our mouths.  Sometimes I only go through two or three boxes of ammo because I spend too much time BSing.  Other times I'll blow through 150 rounds.

    The basic rule of thumb is: If you are just gonna shoot a little with a loaner to see what clays is all about, bring a couple boxes of 12ga #7.5 or #8 and a box of dounuts and we're good.  If you come with a case of ammo, you better come with a case of clays too, and donuts.

    Are shorter barrel shotguns a waste of time?

    For busting clays, yes and no.  Nobody is winning any trap shoots with a Shockwave, but man I do have fun trying to bust a few with mine.  It's not a bad idea to try and hit a few clays with whatever shotgun one intends to use for HD.  It's good fun practice.  My My 18" taktikalized 870 does not "dust" clays but it consistently breaks clays because the reflex site makes targeting stupid easy.  I like to let new shooters use the 870 because it's a confidence booster and the red dot also helps noobs understand target tracking.

    A shorter barrel will reduce velocity somewhat but if you use the right chokes, you can still do very well.

    Are there reasons to own a suppressor that are eluding me?

    Yes.  If using an AR in any capacity is part of your self/home defense plan in FL, it will be beneficial.  And, they're just cool.  Maybe if you start showing up at FL ranges with suppressors, it may encourage others to do the same.  I guess the gun regs in England are already very strict so almost anyone that wants a suppressor gets to have one easy peasey.  Over there it is practically rude to show up without one.  They very much value their hearing.

    EDIT:  As a Floridian, you have access to many thousands of acres of feral hog hunting lands with virtually no limits.  A suppressor would be nice to have.

    Do I need a 12ga or can I bring my 20ga? 

    12, 20, 16, 410, whatevah you want to bring, lotsa folks shoot 20's and do pretty damned good too.   The only rule is shot size, has to be #7.5 or #8.

    Also what is a good price for clays... I found this online. Can't be $9.00

    That's actually a great price.  I've been paying about $20-22 per 135 ct crate of White Flyer AAs.

    Clinton WMA Shotgun range

    12-10-23

    0900

    There will be a pumpkin carving contest.

    Howdy folks.  It's about time we get together to turn some money into noise.  Come join us at the Clinton WMA shotgun range for a morning of clay busting fun. 

    If you will be joining the fun, please let us know how many will attend and what you are bringing so we can plan for supplies.

    Shooting commences at 0900 and keeps going until we get bored, run out of ammo, or hear mom calling us home.    Shoots usually go until about 1300, leaving plenty of time for everyone to stop in at any time and join the party.

    As always, these clay shoots are informal gatherings, just plain old fun to promote clay sports and encourage training, please feel free to bring friends and family.  Shooters of all experience are welcome, if you have never shot clays before, or want some tips on improving your skills, this is your chance to dust off that shotgun you have sitting in a dark corner of a closet, and gain some needed experience.

    What you will need.

    Bring your shotgun(s), as much #7.5 or #8 lead target/field loads as you want to shoot, and depending on how much you want to shoot, a carton of clay pigeons would be great.  Targets are usually available at Walmart in Clinton, Flemington, and Phillipsburg.  Don't forget eyes and ears.  Also recommended is a chair, sun screen, insect repellent, and something to drink.  There is a port-a-potty on site

    If you don't have a shotgun and just want to see what clay shoot'n is all about, a loaner pump action will be available.

    • Eye and ear protection (mandatory)

    Why where mental health facilities torn down and not replaced?

    My mom was a psychiatric nurse for 20 years and I'd heard all kinds of fucked up stories.  In a nutshell, ha ha, nut shell...  anyway, to put it simply, imprisoning people for being crazy had become politically unpopular because of the horror stories of abuse at the "asylums".  One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest had a tremendous social impact and put all mental institutions into question.

    ergo you want more laws?

    I don't think the OP is suggesting more laws will work.  I believe the OP is saying;  Just enforce the laws that are on the books now.  If the bureaucrats and administrative departments in law enforcement did their jobs according the the laws we already have, Card should have had his firearms taken. 

    The federal government and its subordinate agencies responsible for our security, particularly the FBI, failed America YET AGAIN!

    As much as you may not be into them,

    It has nothing to do with whether I like them or not.  The inescapable fact is that they are a novelty item, a sort of reliable device that sometimes simulates full auto.  it is what it is, a gimmick.  I just don't think that common use can be established.

    Newark PD is still giving me a hard time

    Can you give some examples of the nature of the hard time?  What is the PD doing or saying that is preventing you from obtaining a duplicate card?
