Great idea. I'm in. I'm planning to go handgun shopping (wahoo!!) this Saturday, and I'll be looking around for a decent used entry level shotgun for this. Maybe by the next meeting I can be geared up for some more fun. K

Top of the list for me is a full size, metal frame 9mm (CZ, Beretta, etc.) I also want a .357 revolver, 6" barrel Lynn is liking a 9mm poly compact (Springfield, M&P) After that, 9mm steel compact (me), .380 mini, maybe a 1911, we'll see. Matt, Already thinking about it. I enjoyed shooting with you guys, and I'm going to get into it a bit. Just trying to get a handle on what I'll need as far as a cheap but decent gun. Jordan has a 500 with a short barrel, but I can't depend on that for my use. Did you get the pix I sent? K

Just picked up permits: 5 for me 2 for Lynn Put in on June 1, picked up July 14. Not bad at all. Time to go shopping.

Some people are just as*holes. Don't let it ruin your fun. When I used to shoot (photograph) weddings, every once in a while some moron guest would come up to me, telling me he had the same (or better, newer, more expensive) equipment as I was using, and how he could do my job better and cheaper, blah, blah,. My standard response was "Well, that may be so, but I own a couple of hammers, and that doesn't make me a carpenter." They shut up after that. Just be comfortable knowing that you can outshoot them, and that you're not an obnoxious prick. K

Not my cup of tea, but looks like an interesting hybrid. http://www.tactilite.com/Dev1/

The question goes deeper than that. Can a business post the following rules without running afoul of the government? No Blacks Allowed No Women Allowed No Democrats Allowed Muslims will not be served. Service will be refused to anyone over 6' tall The Blind will not be served here Of course not... they would be publicly flogged, and rightfully so. We have a long way to go before the discrimination against legal CCW ends, but gov't does interfere in business affairs all the time, sometimes it's bad interference, and sometimes not. A world without rules isn't a Utopia, it's a Dystopia, where anarchy rules. Until civil rights laws extend to CCW (probably never), restaurants and other businesses can do what they want, make whatever restrictions they choose, and your only recourse is to go somewhere else, or picket in front of the place, as is your right.

Need a current hunting license to shoot on a WMA range. Also, I think it's restricted to shotgun and rimfire, but I may be mistaken. K

Rich, welcome to the group.

No real issue with the sights. The gun doesn't pretend to be a bullseye shooter, especially not with the 3.5" barrel. That being said, the sights do seem like an afterthought. Flimsy and loose tolerances, but after about 6 or 7 thousand rounds, at least they're not getting any worse. A drop of superglue sounds like a good idea.

I have: M&P .40 and Walther P22 And there are a few 9mm's and a .357 on the wish list.

Nice save.

Welcome to group.

Thanks for the offer. How does it shoot for you? Accurate enough for casual non-bullseye shooting and general nightstand use? I'd love to shoot yours if the opportunity comes up. My neighbor has one and the thing is just so damn nice, but I've only dry fired it. Haven't gotten him out to the range with it yet. I love the fit & finish, and it's surprisingly comfortable in my hand, considering the weird shape of the grip. I've read complaints that it's too "bulgy" along the wide side, and someone even makes a shaved grip for it to make it flatter, but it fits and seems to point well for me. It (or one of the other all steel compact Smiths in 9mm) is definitely on my want list.

Let's assume for a moment that a reasonable and moderate campaign for our rights is actually possible at this late date. Who do we have, specifically, to be the front man for such a campaign and represent our interests in this state. I keep reading about Bryan wandering the hallowed halls of Trenton, knocking on doors and gaining face time with the powers that be, but what is the name of the person who we depend on to counter his (and others just like him) propaganda? Just a name and contact information would be nice. I'd like to meet him/her. If they really exist.

I've got 5 permits pending, and I think I may have the shopping list complete. It all depends on the available discretionary financing (I also need some new photo gear). The list in no particular order, A 9mm metal frame, full size - 92FS or 90 two or CZ75/85 or etc. (for the range, and maybe some low level competitive shooting) A 9mm metal frame compact - S&W Chiefs Special or Bersa Thunder 9 UC or etc. (for the house) A .357 revolver 6" barrel - probably some flavor of Taurus (for the range) A 9mm compact poly frame - M&P 9C or Walther or etc. (for Lynn at the range and house) A .380 Mickey Mouse Micro - LCP, PPK, etc. (just because I can) OR some low end 1911 Other than the first 2, everything else is subject to change depending on availability and impulse.

Welcome to our happy band of optimists.

In that case, excellent work with the lo-tech solution. Cuts down retouching time, too. K
