Looks like big fun was had by all. Nice videos, Nick.

You get what.

And won't you all look just fabulous in your plumage.

Welcome to the group.

Isn't that illegal? How could he do that? Laws don't prevent crimes. Ever. Never did. Never will. They define them and outline the punishment for committing them. Anyone who truly believes that new and more restrictive laws of any type will do anything to prevent crimes of any type is sadly mistaken.

Legislators and lawmakers don't have to be smart or knowledgeable to do their jobs. They just have to convince their constituencies that they're smarter than they are, and create the perception that all they they want to do is help the people that agree with them. Again, perception is reality. Legislation is always about knee jerk reactions to anything. The long term ramifications are completely irrelevant because when the unintended consequences of some past decision come up to bite them, they have a new knee jerk piece of crap sitting in their pockets to deal with it. It makes them look like they're always working towards the future, and it's likely that they can spin the blame for the new problem away from themselves and point to a "previous administration" or "earlier Congress" as the source of the problem. The fact that there's talk about Obama paying new attention to gun regs should be a warning. But there's no activity to preempt any of his lunacy. Congress is fragmented and fractured right now, there are issues in the Mideast, Japan's disaster is front page, gas is reaching an all time high, energy industries are in trouble, organized labor is under the gun, and the "economic recovery" is being threatened. What better time to, with the stroke of a pen, launch his campaign for reelection by handing down some absurd, useless feel good executive order that will only affect those who wouldn't vote for him in any case, but will send his supporters into an ignorant frothing frenzy of support, and will let him temporarily step away even further from the real issues that he seems to not really have any way (or desire) to address. If he enacts gun regulation by fiat, what do you think the pundits will be talking about for the next few weeks? Japan? Obama's apparent disinterest in doing his job? Nope. They'll be coming out of the woodwork to REACT to the new executive orders, and both sides will be sooo busy taking the credit and pointing the blame that the issues that are really important will have diffused by the time attention turns back to them. It's a diversionary move, an attack on the unguarded flank, and I don't believe there's a single thing we (the national gun rights community) can do about it. If the NRA, GOA, SAF, JPFO, et al participate in the discussions, the result will be a "bipartisan and cooperative result of reasonable and civilized discussion and debate". If they don't, it will be "a necessary step towards reasonable regulation is spite of hostile and intransigent opposition". It's a no win either way. Except for the liberals, and Obama.

Sounds like my life... I'll likely be waiting at the airport when my ship comes in.

A temporary transfer is not illegal at a state certified range. Even if you don't have an FID card, you can shoot any gun that someoerne at the range hands you to shoot without any problems. You can also legally transfer temporarily at a gun shop or gunsmith. Anywhere else is considered an illegal transfer, even if it's completely legal for you and the person you're handing the gun to have and possess firearms.

"We're gonna give you another chance. It's okay if you manufacture and deal drugs, commit extortion, rape and robbery, carjack innocent people and commit general mayhem, but if there are any more killings, we're gonna do what we've always been able to do, but never did." Ridiculous.

Welcome to the monkey house.

Everyone is going to recommend something different, based on their own experiences. It's okay to consider other people's recommendations, but you have to handle and shoot as many different guns as you can get your hands on, and pick the one that fits and works best for you. There's a lot of guns to choose from, from a lot of different manufacturers, at a lot of different price points. A gun chambered for .357 will shoot .38 with no problems. If you start with a .38, and decide in the future to move up to the larger caliber, you'll need a different gun.

A terrible tragedy. The earthquake areas around the Pacific seem to be getting more active lately.

Welcome from the northern frontier.

Nice gun. I have the same one. The original grip was a bit uncomfortable for me, but a Hogue grip with the finger grooves improved the feel and control a lot.

Welcome to the group.

Take a look at the Events & Meetups forum. The regular scheduled meetups are pinned to the top of the board. Don't feel odd about joining in. We were all new once, and the group welcomes new members of the shooting community. Plenty of the guys here are qualified to show you the basics. All you need is patience and the willingness to learn.
