100% of what you asked will be covered in your course this weekend! Take the course and then come back on Monday to ask what they didn't cover....

VOTE NOW. 252 say it won't help, 44 says it will, 2 don't know (but somehow feel compelled to vote).

Woodland Park Range (aka GunForHire) is $20, including NICS, for members (or if you prefer, $5 plus NICS).

gone at 2:46pm...

I picked up my new lever action PW87 shotgun on Friday with GFH's fantastic $20 transfers, and since I was coming from work rented a Sig 226 which I heard so much about but never shot. Very nice gun, but not so different from other 9mm's I have so probably no need to buy one. BACK TO THE RANGE Saturday morning, shot for another hour starting around 8am! Twice in a weekend is a good time.

I did Gun For Hire's Utah CCW class here, and they were extremely nice to us. They let several of us play with the simulator while we waited for the class to start. They have a small but very nice showroom with a small but nice selection of guns for sale, and a small selection of accessories. The wood tables and display stands in the showroom were made by the owner and are really nice. I would definitely use this place for FFL transfers if I didn't use Gun For Hire's $20 transfers (including NICS) since I'm a member. I would definitely feel safe keeping my guns here if needed.

In the old days, 22LR was cheaper and always available. These days, I'd like to buy some conversion kits to allow my 22LR guns to fire 9mm, so I could shoot them more!

Be there at 8am when they open, or else you may have a tough time parking! Last Saturday it was nuts by 9am. The wait for ports wasn't bad at all, but multiple events in the classroom can really fill up the parking lot.

KEEP GOING!

Done, she was very nice.

Nope.

I generally pickup 45 brass that lands in my port, and leave 9mm brass alone. Last two times, people in ports next to me noticed me picking up my brass and started handing me all theirs. Nothing but friendly vibes at GFH.

Life Memberships in the SAF seem to mean less than the NRA, but I took the step a few years ago and I've sent them additional funds. I get tired of the SAF calling me every month or two to ask for more money, usually in the middle of a Saturday afternoon event, and I get tired of all their mail. They are certainly losing money on me based on postage...

Scotch Plains has a range in the basement. According to my friend it is dark, smelly and claustrophobic.

This is the one single Bohica rifle that the guy blew up with terrible handloads. The pictures in this thread don't include the giant hammer he was using to open the bolt after each shot. This one guy basically brought down the company, but many of us shoot our Bohica's all the time without incident. There was no bolt through the neck in the Bohica case, just a bloody hand.

Has anyone ever heard of anyone getting arrested for carrying a pocketknife (that wasn't involved in some other incident) ?

I took GunForHire's Utah CCW at FSS in Whippany and while we were waiting for the class to start they gave us demonstrations of the system (and also let some of the people try it). It's pretty damn cool. They have 100's of scenarios, and they can go different ways depending on what you do and what the operator does. For example, you are staring down bad guys and all of a sudden a cop comes around the corner and tells you to drop it. You can either drop it and not get shot, or argue with the cop (in which case you might get shot), or shoot at the cop (in which case you've lost, and also probably will be shot). The guns are real guns modified (with lasers for the tracking, and CO2 carts for a little recoil). I think it would be a fun event.

Cabela's sends out "employee discount days" coupons to high-level credit card holders a couple times a year. I've used the coupons many times, and the discounts have been enormous. They ran from 5% on ammo and powder to 50% on most clothing. If the discounts we got were actually anything like what real employees actually get, it would be great.

I would attend more meetings but they are always too far for me on a work day.

A couple of years ago someone from these forums invited me to join as their referral, and for some reason I didn't do it. Sucks to be me.

That's interesting data. Thanks. I wonder if you could have any kind of accident at a range with firearms where $250k would actually cover you...

In the little side room at the front? I've looked at those before. I think they are largely more historic German/Nazi guns from WWII, and probably too nice and old to shoot...

Wham

I agree which is why I asked. However, I have read the law that actually lists "slingshots" (a typo when it was supposed to be "slungshots" according to Nappen's book) but I don't see blowguns in that law...
