We never gave up here in VA. There has been a massive phone and email campaign along with people showing up at their delegate and senator's offices to voice concern. I got really involved down here and the sheer number of people involved was awesome. Nobody waited for an organization to do it for them. My county and most others stood up grass roots 2A groups. It was a very organic process. County and Local LEO overwhelmingly stated that they would not enforce any ban. The VASP troopers in private said they did not support it.

The problem is too many weak minded people have been conditioned to buy anything they want on impulse because, they deserve it. Your life will be miserable with anything less than the latest iphone. Must keep up appearances with a new car every two or three years, make sure you get something you can barely afford. You work soooo hard, don't cook when you get home, eat out, take it easy, you deserve it. Is Trump bringing you down, are you very very very sad, go have a spa weekend to shake that icky TDS, you deserve it. Our society has developed a culture of living in the moment instead of looking ahead and contemplating the consequences of immediate self gratification. The advertisers push push push, and suckers keep buying, buying, buying, even what they can't afford to. Believe me, I know, I used to be one of those suckers. Basically, living hand to mouth is a bit like over eating, except you are eating your account balance and your future.

Both so true!!! I've been a "certified" firearms instructor for almost 45 years. I'm not relating this to brag. I'm relating this to reinforce what @High Exposure and @Smokin .50 have said. All of it is true. It hasn't changed. I've mentioned before the 4'9, 85 lb agent in my office. She is one tough woman. In addition to her shooting ability she went through Jump School at Ft Benning. Any kind of auto, shotgun, revolver, or M16 she maxed or was only a couple points from max on quals. She preferred the M16 over the M4 Another woman I worked with (acutally more than one) wanted to learn the MP5. After 5 or 6 magazines they demonstrated they could shoot it, they just needed the repetitions to really learn the gun. That's 300-500 to learn the skill and 3000-5000 to become muscle memory. Oh yes, @Mrs. Peel, when she was searching for a centerfire handgun we had a range session and she did remarkably well with handguns she never shot before. That includes a 4" Taurus K frame that is now 35 year's old with a bazillion 357s through it. She asked to shoot it again. She also did a respectable showing with my WWI 1911. I love taking women to the range. Just my experience.

Pssst the stamp --> that was me

So you understand where it’s coming from...it’s all about shooting, fun, fellowship, and food. All things that bring us together.

Sooo what worked. 1 shooting a 22 in between. 2 shooting a full size striker gun in between 3 some dry fire. end of 1 hour range flinch drastically diminished.

Clearly, you and I are acquainted with different women. (actually, I agree with the points High Exposure made)

Posting here before going out on the rest of the internet. My 2003 Wrangler Rubicon finally died a few weeks ago. I've got to get rid of the following things for free: Window Storage Bag similar to this: https://www.quadratec.com/products/91109_11_07.htm OEM soft top on frame. Windows are 17 years old and zippers barely work, but frame is 100% OEM door surrounds with screws. Window roll similar to this: https://www.quadratec.com/products/91109_100_07.htm Kentrol Stainless Steel Billet Style Light Kit (front's only) similar to this: https://www.quadratec.com/products/13107_103.htm Not really interested in shipping, but want to get this stuff out of the house. Donations to worthy causes (BSA, NRA, etc.) appreciated in lieu of payment. Located in Hopewell Township, Mercer County. Willing to travel a bit for delivery / meet-up. Jamie

I get excited on the very rare occasion I do this at 200 yards. I can't even imagine what it takes to do a .10 MOA group at 1000. https://www.gunsamerica.com/digest/benchrest-shooter-1000-yard-group/

God bless you guys! From my heart!

No it says salary finance, which is a company trying to hawk debt consolidation and payday loans into a new abomination. I'd question their numbers without seeing the methodology explained. It's hardly an argument for a shitty economy. If the people making over 200k a year are being impacted by a shitty economy more than those making 40k a year, then the issue isn't the cost of living vs wages. The issue is how 1/3 of people spend their money.

Google the rules for inheriting firearms in NJ before you fill out the Form of Voluntary Registration. If the firearm wasn't listed in the will, it's not as simple as it should be. I don't want you to get the answers wrong and end up with problems.

At one point during the rain, they showed an in car camera shot of Denny Hamlin’s car. There was water dripping from the roll bar in front of Hamlin. The gremlins were working hard.

No, the story was created for the audience of CNBC so they could get more viewers among the college debt and spendthrift demographics. Bernie voters. The study 'author' is a guy who ran/runs some operation refinancing student loans. Probably backed by Soros or Warren Buffett. Anyway, what the story was saying to those of us in the real world is that when people get more money (great economy) there will still be a large number of grasshoppers that forgot or never learned that good times never last. What it is probabkly saying to the FSA army is that 'It's Trumps fault you still have no money in boom times'.

Good, glad to hear it! It's great when they "get it", and work WITH you & AGAINST their fear so as to make that light bulb shine bright ain't it?

Reminds me of the last housing crash, when banks were giving mortgages to anyone who could hold a pen. When a guy working at the car wash got a $600K home loan, then couldn't pay for it, he blamed the bank for giving him the loan, instead of taking personal responsibility for signing the mortgage note, knowing full well, he couldn't afford the payment.

I just received my first Garand from the CMP this week and shot it yesterday. I have a new favorite gun.it is a RM1 Service. Receiver is Springfield apparently manufactured in 3/44. It is in great shape. It did come with new wood which is okay by me as I plan to shoot this a opposed to looking at it as collectible. What a joy to shoot.

The irony is that if one spends only 95% of their income, they are still living paycheck to paycheck in the short term. Having been "house poor" in the past, I have a much greater interest in NOT buying the biggest house that I can afford, especially knowing that at the end of my next 30 year mortgage, I will probably not bringing in income like I am now.

Hopefully, his credit is shit and no one lends him more money... the problem is when institutions lend out money to these idiots at high rates

I'm sorry, but if you are making six figures living paycheck to paycheck, you are living beyond your means. I know a dope that keeps defaulting on student loans but drives a BMW.

It would absolutely be easier. But the presentation of the stuffed tenderloin is pretty cool.

My post was absolutely a broad generalization and of course everyone has specific experiences and abilities that makes their learning “type” unique to them. There will always be exceptions to the rule. My post also had nothing to do with physical abilities, reflexes, strength, or startle/flinch responses on either gender-side. Basically, what I have learned/observed being a guy and instructing both male and female shooters over the last 18 years is this: (Almost) every guy (I was the same in the beginning) thinks he innately knows how to do four things perfectly: • Drive • Fight • Fuck (pardon my vulgarity) • Shoot And anyone telling him otherwise is “attacking” his masculinity and they will not relinquish control of “this is how I do it” without a fight. This makes teaching them difficult - until the realization dawns on them that they are not God’s gift to macho and there are people out there that can make them better at their chosen task. This realization can be quick (as it was for me) or painfully slow (and this is where the rule of 100 comes into play). The method for teaching men and women is exactly the same for the very simple reason that the three pillars of firearms instruction: • Marksmanship • Mindset • Manipulations Know neither male or female - they just are. No instructor worth their salt should/would change their syllabus based on the gender of the student. They just understand that (most) women students of shooting are typically more efficient learners and make greater initial strides.

How's this?

I’ll differ with you slightly...bacon, sausage, egg, and cheese...the perfect combo! Making breakfast sandwiches great again!

They better set a good fucking lap time with that thing. And damn, those "sponsors" couldn't find any better drivers? And somebody screwed up, not getting car #45 instead.

Mrs. Peel: Your comment makes sense to me. The same outcome can have different causes. Especially after not using it for a while, I have trouble shooting my Beretta 92 as well as I know I can. I don't have this problem with my 1911 any where near so much. It is just because a lighter gun makes the effect of whatever flinch you have that much worse, I think. I'm going to try that exercise with the empty cartridge or penny, as soon as I can find a flat part on the top of the Beretta to put it...

US Military overseas addresses.

@CageFighter stated that his friend went back in and got the extra mags. If they were OEM, then the issue was resolved. I can see how they were pulled out originally. They probably ran out of individual mags for sale, and pulled them until restocked. They just forgot to put them back in.

He was just out hunting mountain lions.

Believe it or not my m&p 22 loves golden bullets

Yep, typical discussion here. One person brings charts, links and data, the others, bring OPINIONS (not backed by anything) which they THINK are facts. Just another day in paradise!

The Clintons traced you to your zip code.
