I kinda had that attitude at first. "Oh, I don't plan on getting many." I've heard quite a few people new to guns say it. Now if I had my way, I'd have:
M&P 15-22
S&W P22
Ruger American Ranch 5.56
Desert Eagle .50
Some AR in 5.56
An AK in 7.62
A 9mm handgun
A .45 handgun3 down...

Now go shoot outdoors.
I'd love to. But the Atlantic County range only goes to 100 yards. Shooters only goes to 150 yards. South Jersey Shooting Club and Cumberland County Riflemen both require NRA membership, plus CCR aren't accepting new members. Range 14 is probably the closest and that's over an hour away. PITA for a regular spot.

Bumping for updates.
Been shooting a lot at Range 129, trying different things to see what's most comfortable shooting prone, what's most stable, breathing. Been shooting Wolf Gold 55gr and today finally cracked open a box of American Eagle 62gr boat-tail. With my hand under the butt of my rifle, I kept pushing the butt up and left when I shot. Range officer showed me another position where I have my off-hand on top of the butt. Just kind of keeping it in place, not putting downward force on it.
I like this new ammo and I like this technique. 4 shot groupings. The middle target is 0.70" at 100 yards. Not including the flyer on the bottom left, the group of three is 0.68". Bottom right target was quick firing.
I finally got a sub-MOA grouping at 100 yards!

I love my M&P 15-22. So much fun and when ammo is so absurdly cheap, I don't feel bad blowing through tons of it.
I think a lot of it comes down to what you want to do with it. Freaking ammo can cost a ton over time and I'm only buying .22lr, 9mm, and .223. It only gets worse from there.

Wait, did you mean Bird Box or Birdcage? Because I loved the Robin Williams one.

That said, of COURSE Sandra Bullock winds up in an interracial relationship.
In TV/Movies these day EVERY couple is either two gay guys or two gay girls and if it's not the prior, it's interracial.
If the relationship is involves a white male, he will be gay or with a black women. It's pretty annoying. I could give a shit what people do but there are people who date within their own race on occasion and are hetero. I know, it's a shocking statement.
Not sure what TV/Movies you are watching but most mainstream movies/TV shows are still white/white hetero.

It didn't last long because it was artificially inflated. Price manipulation fooled a lot of people unfortunately.
It's an interesting idea, but the non-regulation of it definitely bit a lot of people in the ass.

I never thought I would bow hunt but ended up purchasing a crossbow to be able to hunt longer. Bow season is much longer than firearm seasons. And more you are in the field the higher your chances for success.
I took a practice test and actually learned some stuff which was cool. Can't hurt to get the license.

Because maybe someone knew something that I didn't already not find there?

If you touch a weapon you are considered hunting.
Please keep in mind, hunting is not something you just wake up one day and walk into the woods and do. It takes a good amount of skill and preparation to be successful. Otherwise you end up hurting yourself, someone else, or wounding an animal. Best case scenario... You waste your time.
Yea, this is basically what I figured. I'm not huge on shooting animals in the first place, but it's definitely a part of becoming more self-sufficient. The meat, the pelts, etc. all are extremely useful God forbid society gets to the worst.

Question: My wife's co-workers are into hunting. How does it work with a hunting license? Does everyone hunting in the group need a license or is it like the WMA where one person just needs it? She said she heard there was some version where you don't need a full license but that doesn't sound quite right to me.

Haven't reached the point of lying yet. Seeing as we share a locker, it'd be hard to hide it.

It sucks. There's a guy at work who reloads all of his own ammo for competition shooting and won't shoot factory ammo. Records every single measurement possible. Very meticulous. He's willing to teach me all about it and I know I can do it no problem. But there's no indoor ranges that allow it.

Been shooting there regularly. I usually have the rifle range to myself so it's been perfect for practice.
I will say I finally had a sour experience there earlier this week. Went in for my "inspection". You guys are right, I totally get it now. They have signs on the door saying no mags over 10 rounds allowed. I have a thick, extra long yoga mat that I use for shooting prone. It's indoors, I don't need anything crazy. The head range officer that night told me I couldn't use the yoga mat anymore because what if I use it at a yoga studio or something and then the heavy metals spread around.
Then afterwards I was talking to him about reloading and he basically was trying his best to convince me not to get into it, that it's dangerous, etc. Who is he to tell me not get into a hobby? That's not his job.
Spoke to the owner today and told him about my experience. He said he didn't see any issue with the yoga mat, especially as I had used it there multiple times before. He's going to talk to the RSO's about it so everyone is on the same page.
Otherwise, facility is still real nice. Still haven't gotten their rental rifles in. They now have special days for discounts. Military Monday, College Night Tuesdays, and "Shewolves" Wednesdays. $25 rental, lane, and 3 targets. $35 rental, lane, 3 targets, eyes, and ears. $10 eyes and ears is a tad absurd to me. Might as well buy a cheap pair of safety glasses and ear plugs for half that.

Turns out her fall led to doctors discovering early stage cancer. They were able to remove it before it got serious and she has a clean bill of health now. Long live RBG!

How is that working out for us?
Other than concealed carry issues, nothing but minor annoyances. No one is stopping me from getting just about any gun I want. The process is pretty simple and easy.

28 minutes ago, TheWind said:Greenday is a clueless brainwashed liberal. I have family in British countries, it is near impossible to get a firearm and excessively expensive. He will will be the one crying when it comes to pass. I just switched to my 1911s to carry, it is nice being old, even nicer to plan ahead. Right now I can carry 8 different handguns, some are under 10 rounds.
How sketchy are they that they it's near impossible for them to get a firearm? Just because it's harder than it is here doesn't make it near impossible.

People freak out when a news article says someone was arrested in their home and they had 200 whole rounds of ammo in their house.
Could you imagine if they have an article where it says the person had a barrel of 12,500 rounds? People would shit themselves in fear.

4 hours ago, GRIZ said:@Greenday read my post. You didn't prove anything. I said,
"strict gun control including an outright ban"
You seem to be the only one who didn't understand that. Would you have felt better if I said "or" instead of "including". I'm glad your knowledge of chemistry is better than your reading comprehension.
Being you brought it up earlier, do you think you should prove yourself responsible to exercise free speech? You should tested before you practice a religion so you can do so responsibly? What about fully testing 18 year old voters to make sure they vote responsibly?
Don't get me wrong. I might take some heat on this but I'm not for many felons, drug addicts, children, and other categories of people access to guns.
Why do you see the 2A as different from the rest of the Bill of Rights?
"name me one socialist state that doesn't have strict gun control including outright bans on private gun ownership."
That's what you said and I provided 3 socialist states that don't have strict gun control including outing bans.
The First Amendment already has limitations. Specific limitations from people abusing it that would cause harm to other people. That's what vetting of gun owners is. Just making sure people have the knowledge and ability to responsibly have guns without hurting people.
The Bill of Rights is meant to protect everyone (at least now it does thanks to Amendments added to protect people based on sex and race). Our goal should be to have the people's lives being kept safe. Ensuring people who will use guns aren't recklessly and illegally using them isn't a bad thing by any measure.

What a shocker. No one is turning in magazines because it's a dumb law that is practically impossible to enforce. There's no reimbursement in cash and no replacing with 10 round mags. No offers to modify the magazines for us to be compliant. Just hand it in and deal with the loss.
-
22 minutes ago, GRIZ said:@Greenday as bad as the situation is here, NJ looks like Arizona compared to those countries you listed.
Try again. There is no socialist country that doesn't have severe restrictions on gun ownership if not an outright ban.
You need to educate yourself before you throw out a bs response.
You said outright ban. I proved you wrong. Most do not have an outright ban.
It's still not hard to own a gun legally in those countries just like it's not hard to own a gun in any state in this country.

Probably but hopefully one of those many codes applies and you get free shipping.

If you read the article it says how Venezuelans embraced socialism as a cure to all their problems. That just made the problems worse.
Canada has no outright ban on private gun ownership.
Australia has no outright ban on private gun ownership.
Even the UK doesn't have an outright ban.
They've all basically just made it so you have to prove to be a responsible user in order to get a license which we don't do here.

Brownell's is selling barrels of Federal ammo, 5.56 and 7.62.
Federal XM855 5.56 - 12,500 round barrel - $3400 after rebate - $0.272 per round
7.62X51 NATO XM80 - 7500 round barrel - $4050
Doesn't sound like a terrible deal to me.

22 minutes ago, GRIZ said:Here is good example of how prohibiting the private ownership of guns has contributed to the problems in Venezuela. Venezuelans drank the Kool Aid and felt they didn't need to protect themselves from their socialist government. Now they are paying for it.
https://www.foxnews.com/world/venezuelans-regret-gun-prohibition-we-could-have-defended-ourselves
Got that @Greenday? The problems in Venezuela were not caused by the US. They were caused by the people embracing socialism.
This has 0% to do with socialism and 100% to do with being a dictatorship.

Slowly Improving
in Training Techniques and Tools

I don't blame the NRA for all that happens. I'm just not a huge fan. I'm down with gun control if it's sensible (background checks and such. Mag limits are ridiculous) but the NRA opposes any and all gun control which is what I have an issue with.
Don't forget the extra Vitamin D being outside! I'll think about it. Possibly when things warm up.
