looks like i will be doing my Virginia one. They take any NRA class as the requirement, so my NRA instructor classes will suffice. =)

My card was charged on 12/28/09..... out of nowhere... no shipping info.

As an owner of a local financial planning practice i would be more than happy to take care of your money. As far as banking locally, it is a hit or miss. Depends on how the bank is run. Often times, having a relationship with a larger institution is helpful. In any case, you want to make sure your local bank deposits are FDIC insuranced, and local credit unions are covered as well. Some local credit unions have been known not to participate. or just wait until some new awesome bank opens up in Lakewood. :pray:

still cant imagine chad on a crotch rocket. :auto-sportbike:

sound like healthy terrific goals. But it does surprise me we have so many cancer stick puffers here. =)

hey, I am hiring commission based sales folks. =) Will sponsor for licenses and all. :clap:

the idea just hit of goign to AC after my buddy's party. call me on the cell if interested in meeting up. 609-672-8114 or send a txt.

coldshot, you bought a 686 pro series as well?

Really awesome topic Troy. Salut. On the NJGF level... I want to see our community grow to 2k strong. Aside from growing our numbers, would be awesome to see us give back to the communities and organizations that are 2a friendly. It was amazing to see the turnout for Chad's toy's for tots and food bank. We should be doing more of that. Lets be honest, we are fortunate enough to be able to support our firearms habbit. Secondly, it is a priority to do more to get new people involved in the firearms sports and hobbies. Also, the more women, the better. Lastly, evolve the numbers and the group we have here to go beyond just shooting together, to growing our friendships. We have experts in all fields, it seems like, from our resident car wash expert, to graphic designers, photographers, construction contractors, accountants and finance and insurance guys. It is awesome to know that if I need help, beyond firearms, there is someone I can turn to. Just look at all the "Need help with...... ____________" topics in the general forum. On the professional level.... I want to grow my investment advisory and financial planning practice this year. It is totally awesome to be independent, and not have to line the pockets of UBS, or whomever, and be able to provide a win win win solution to clients, my staff and myself. I am seriously looking into expanding to a space at least twice as big to support the new advisors that are starting with me in the begining of the year. Also, while probably not this year, but expand into tax preparation as well. while i do have a few cpa's i work with, i want to have someone in house as well. On a personal level... i want to grow both spiritually, financially, and healt wise. i will go to sleep earlier, and wake up earlier. And add one or two more days a week to the gym schedule. Or one more day at the gym and add in a day of tennis.

i say we all get together and party at Tiny's house.... surprise for him.... and then go crash Chad's.... =) dropping mom off at aunt's, and then going to my buddy's friends house in Monroe.... sooo not toooo far.

welcome ray ray.

where is everyone spending theirs?

what you really want is the Smith 686 SSR Pro series...... :violin:

smith 22a because it is cheap and fun. usually if someone new comes with me, i start them on the 22a. otherwise, between the smith 1911 and hk p30l..... I havent shot the XD in a long long time. =)

that could be a great sig line.

radek, was a pleasure to see you and your wife. its always a plus when they support it. and yes, seeing a cosmo free mosin is always a great sight. but hey, the heat is support to be working next week.

hoodie it is. =)

is the heat fixed?

you will have plenty of time to decide what you want to buy. and remember... after you buy 1, you will have a whole month to decide. =)

radek, will bring it, and yes, anastasia is coming.

if I find 223 anywhere will bring the vepr... will leave the mosin's at home.... not in the particular mood for cosmo on my face. =)

I would stay away from the p22. it is pretty much a useless gun. its not really accurate and appeal goes away. in the 22lr types... if she wants a wheel gun, try the smith 7 shot 22lr. anastasia loved wolfy's. I personally have the smith 22a, 10 round semi auto and it is a great firearm, easy to clean, pretty reliable.... and smith customer service is top notch for when stuff goes wrong... you know, manuals, recalls, warranty work, wrong mags, etc. Dont push her to a 9mm tooo quickly, start with a 22lr. also, cant go wrong with a 22lr rifle. like a ruger 10/22, marlin model 60, or those new awesome AR clones, Smith MP15-22, Colt 22, etc.
