trolls
LOL, Good topic though. So some thoughts on this. We are in fact getting more new people. More new people = lots more newbies who have those questions. A large part of this is me doing more on the back-end to promote the site in combination with the new software being far better. Factor in the new Range Directory and Store Directory, those results in google end up bringing more new people. Beyond that though, I know damn well that no one here would be stupid enough to give illegal advice and I want to reassure that most people who visit the community are in fact lurkers and it takes a lot of effort to ask a question at the expense of being ridiculed. Does it mean there are no legit trolls out there? No... but quite honestly there was only 1 or 2 that I can think of. Most of them lurk on Facebook and other social media groups. We are all legal, law abiding gun owners, there is nothing to be afraid of answering new gun owner questions. When someone does ask a legit question like wanting to buy a gun without paperwork... well, they know it is wrong and I have no issues with people letting them know. Most of all, if you do see something that does not seem Kosher, let either myself, @67gtonut or @Krdshrk know. We do have a few tools to see and can investigate further. In most of the cases where a few of you were quick to call out "troll" were in fact elderly gents who quite honestly did not know better. Btw, the general SOP for me in cases like this is to send the user a message and feel them out. They are a lot more responsive via private messages or email and usually you get the story. For instance, one recent poster tried to post a "FTF" transfer and what it was was simply the gun owner was a retiree who was not aware of the new laws and seldom shot. Came to the community to list some guns for sale.

For gun games I can see someone throwing on a compensator and running it in major/open. Hence... threaded barrel. Aren't they the same from M9A3?

Black Aces Tactical Pro Series S
The pistol brace on this "pistol" sure make this a gun totally screaming "FU" to the ATF.

Well, for gun games, which is where it is aimed at, it should have it... BUT for the threaded barrel, if the M9A3 has it... for more money this should have it too. =)

Done.

Unscheduled Downtime - 3/20/2019 - Quick Update
Should only be a few mins. =) Would ordinarily leave it but includes a security patch and quite frankly there is a huge red security banner on the admin side on every page which is quite annoying. =)

Lack of threaded barrel is a no go.

Standard Capacity Magazine Arrests?
Did not even want to go there but that would be kinda disturbing.... unless of course the guy being arrested was a dirt bag criminal who was practicing drawing from his jeans around his ankles.
-
Standard Capacity Magazine Arrests?
So one guy, not 20? Really disappointed to hear, if true, that a shooter narc’ed on another shooter for having 15 round mags. Vs saying... “hey, did you know that mag laws changed and are now 10 rounds. “
-
Which One?
Get the 22/45 as fun as 22lr revolvers are, you will rarely shoot them....
-
Standard Capacity Magazine Arrests?
20 or more in one shot would likely be a match of some sort and once again I think we would have heard something about it by now.
-
Standard Capacity Magazine Arrests?
What gun shop? Have not heard anything here or on Facebook yet. There are only a few public ranges and should be easily enough to verify.

Ranges where USPSA practice is allowed
Other one is Central Jersey in Jackson, REALLY pricey but nice. You will need a draw badge if you want to practice from a holster.

Russian FSB Training Drills
So I was watching a Vickers Tactical video of him visiting Russia with some of the SF guys. Just wondering, for our LEO guys here, do we do anything this insane in training in the States?

Reference question/problem rant :-)
All had those but I also saw a few that asked whether to my knowledge applicant had drug or drinking issues and one or another about mental health.

School Me On Glocks
Too strong? Maybe.. BUT it is 100% correct. As long as you have the fundamentals of shooting down, the gun doesn't matter. They are 95% the same thing, copies of one another. One may be more comfortable, or more accurate at 50 yards... or you can have faster split times with them... but a "weird grip angle" should not prevent you from being able to shoot it. There are very very few guns I have shot over the last 12 years in matches, meetups or industry events that had me puzzled. I think on one hand can I count them. All of those guns were trying to do things out of the box, aka wrong. lol.

School Me On Glocks
Weird grip angle? Is it really that different? I dunno, it never bothered me and I shoot them very well. The only gun that truly felt blah, weird to shoot was the Hudson H9. Everything else is just a frame with a grip and a slide on top. Pull trigger, goes bang... 99% of the time.

Reference question/problem rant :-)
+1000. Generally, the last few times I used reference forms for pistol permits I used forum member friends. We all know how important it is and generally get them in QUICK!. Make friends with gun owners, simple as that. Let's stop the personal attacks, seriously. Do you wake up every day to see how @Greenday is going to piss you off? He did nothing wrong in this thread. I do agree that many buy for home defense, but to be 100% up front, when I bought my first guns, it was really for target practice and shooting sports. That is how it is for most people buying a gun. It is not to defend the home... but generally it is folks going to the range, renting, loving it, and then wanting to buy a gun. I honestly don't think most people buying their first gun are thinking about home defense. Heck, they may think it.. but they would not be using it in that case. Varies by township. On the ones my town sent in, it asks basic info about health, metal issues, drinking, drugs, etc. On a few others I got there were more questions about moral character, safe enough to use a gun, violence, etc.

Firearms Registration Act Introduced in Pennsylvania
Believe me, people here DO care... but when the Republicans control both houses of state government, it is NOT going to happen. Beyond that, if something more serious was going to happen, the "Kentucky" part of "Pennsyltucky" would be the firs to march. Vastly different from a state like New Jersey where gun owners are a vast minority. It would be like Democrats revolting and thinking every conservative is from Texas is coming to NJ because MPC introduced his concealed carry bill again. People regularly shoot outside and no one calls the cops... here close to Jersey. It is very very very very different environment and not even my liberal neighbors bat an eye when our other neighbor shoots in his backyard. Realistically, Florida and other states are more likely to have gun issues than PA.

So is the range usable now?
