Heritage Guild refused to sell me a glock magazine
But seriously guys and gals... if you are going to Easton... just go to 507 Outfitters. Much better prices and you won't get the guilty treatment.

Multiple Purchase Exemption / OGAM and the 30 Day Clock
Precisely. When I did my exemption It was from two stores at the same time IIRC. Both knew... @tj462nj was on top of it too when I gave him his space back in the safe after 12 months of collecting guns. lol. Bought one first as soon as I could with OGAM, THEN bought the 6 or 7, whatever it was with exemptions, and that started the 30 days.

Multiple Purchase Exemption / OGAM and the 30 Day Clock
I thought it was common understanding that the Exemption exempted the exemptions, and with it, reset the 30 day clock... ?

Heritage Guild refused to sell me a glock magazine
It's funny that you mention that... I went there incognito, i.e. don't mention NJGF, etc. I talk to one of the guys asking about suppressors. More specifically... "Hey, so if I buy a can from you, while it is sitting in ATF jail, can I shoot it here at the range?" "No, until the tax stamp clears, I can't let you even touch it or see it, it's the LAW!" That is when my eyes rolled. One of the reasons to buy a can from a dealer with a range is that you have a place to shoot while you wait. Yes, I get that you would have to make sure the can does not leave the premises but that was just over the top. Speaking to their local competitors, it actually seems to be one or two employees that account for most of the major issues people have with them. But this requiring someone's ID to buy anything... is just WTF.

Ruger Security 9
Disliked the SR9... don't recall if I shot the SR9C. SR9 series was very reliable and rugged, but I hated the fit and finish and the recoil was quite harsh for the size of the gun. The Security 9 on the other hand, also has really good ergonomics but was a pleasure to shoot... the Security 9 compact that is. And you can use the full sized 15 round mags with it too... what it is is a little sleeve that goes over the mag and functions like an extension. Quite a simple solution that does not require completely separate mags.

Ruger Security 9
Always love the looks but did not appreciate it until I was forced to shoot it at a Ruger media event. Really came away impressed with the compact. Stupid good deal for the price. Have shooting footing I have to find. It is a very successful gun nationwide.

NJGF Shotgun Shootout - July 27th
Is that your second? With the second, the teething and all is a lot less pain in the ass... have another. =P And the correct answer is... you stay up.... you go shoot, then go home, and crash in bed.

Where's The Full Editor?
Yes, before the major update, there was the "quick reply" and the full editor/reply. Since then, the full editor was integrated into the quick reply. If you are the original poster, and you need to edit the "title"... it is a bit different and you do need to hit the edit. Let me know if you are squared away. =)

Range 129
@Truthsayer We often forget, well, newer folks, even though this is an annonomus forum if you want it to, this is also a regional community where hundreds if not thousands of members and gun owners have met each other in real life through events at ranges, fun shoots, training classes or even buying and selling. So very often, when we see posts, we don't look at it as simply a username, but rather a face and a person. As such, your original post really comes off as a rant that you would generally not say to someone else in real life like that. If there are legitamite issues, we do have an opportunity to take it up with the ranges or stores and have them respond, much like 2A organizations do with townships. Whenever there is a big complaint voiced about an FFL or a range here, I do make it a point to reach out to the owners and let them know, to get their side of the story and to see if there were service let downs and things that can be fixed. As such, we are all interested in hearing your complaints, but would want to do something about it and as such, asking for more details and your role (direct, heard from a friend, etc.)

Range 129
You can have a difference of opinion and this site is all about that... but you are making unfounded allegations without backing any of them up. While I have not looked at the NRA Rangemaster course... let's be honest... we are all adults here, when your range is everyone behind a common firing line and you have range officers and a bullet proof divider... the range master is not going to do much if anything. But realistically, this is why experienced gun owners don't go to public ranges. I am not worried about the range master, I am worried about other gun owners at the range. Have you witnessed anything unsafe as a direct result of an experienced range master? Where does a Rangemaster mean a lot? Sanctioned shooting matches... and mostly in regards to target placement safety, equipment calibration and knowing the rules of the game inside and out. For a public range... I think everything can be summed up as "Don't be a dumbass." On the Veteran issue... what does being a veteran have anything to do with being fired over txt? If you are fired over txt, it does not matter whether you are a veteran or not, it human decency... (unless I suppose there was a heated discussion already going over txt, etc.) Again, we don't know the story, and if you do, please share it. Again, if you have an axe to grind... disclose it and people will give you the time of day, i.e. , are you the employee that was let go? Are you friends with that employee? How do you know the owner is not NRA certified?

Heritage Guild refused to sell me a glock magazine
lol. believe me, when the site started, was docsed... Since then, private registrations and site is hosted in Michigan and domain is registered overseas. To answer the OP's question... company policy. Realistically though, if you are at Heritage at Easton, stop wasting your money and go 1/4 mile and visit 507 Outfitters. Far better prices and warm and friendly, and knowledgeable staff. www.507outfitters.com The question I would have is... "Why the hell do they need your DL to buy a magazine?" There is one store in Allentown area that does require a DL, but that is because officially, they need to be a membership store.. I don't believe Heritage has that issue.

First Match & Public Thanks
Nah, he is just wanting to make sure he is not the only one in the Sig P320 fanclub.... I mean, you drop a gun once and you get scared for life... you want others to be scared with. =)

Range 129
Welcome... Not sure on the others but You can be the range master, as long as they do not say NRA Rangemaster? Not that it really matters though... if you own it, you own it. I do agree terminating employees via txt is not the best way, but I have no clue what you are talking about? Assuming they were terminated for some other reason? Terminated for being a Vet? Doubt it... Range 129 is not a vendor and I have no vested interest in it, but seems like you have an axe to grind with them so I would hope you share a complete story rather than unfounded allegations. If you have a personal experience, leave a review for them...

First Match & Public Thanks
awesome! I am glad you had a good time! "Practical" shooting adds and reinvents what shooting with a firearm can be for most gun owners, especially since for the vast majority, the "gun experience" is standing there in a port with others lined up and blasting paper. IDPA, USPSA and other fun shoots add moving to the equation which completely changes the challenge. At least for me, you are changing the equation from "How many rounds am I going to go through?" to "How do I best achieve the challenge by being the most accurate I can be versus the time." IDPA is a great place to start as generally there is one way to shoot a course of fire. The next challenge after that is USPSA where it is up to you to solve the course of fire and where accuracy becomes just one part of the total equation. Moving and planning out your course of fire are equally as important. The round counts are also higher. But... I am really glad you had a good time. This is how the vast majority of the matches are. You just hit the lottery with your first one and ran into a clicky group. Unfortunately there are clubs out there that run various matches that are for the boys in the club. Vast majority of IDPA and USPSA matches are not.
