Home Defense & Hearing Protection
Just curious... We all have that firearm stashed where we can grab it in case there is some bad guy doing his midnight shopping at your house. As an old fart whose hearing not very good, I know that one big blast would do irreparable damage and could make me totally deaf.. Several,,,fergeddaboutit... A silencer would be great...but.. if the other guy shoots back, the problem remains. Plus even if you could get one, you would get hung out to dry in the PRNJ. If I kept a pair of hearing protectors by the bed, then I wouldn't hear the bad guy. Curious as to what you guys have come up with in your scenarios. Hate to ruin a perfectly good pillow. (

The Best of the Worst Red Dots
Being a retired old fart on a fixed income cost is a factor. Have owned two Tru-Glows for about five years now and both are still working great. Wouldn't hesitate to buy another should the need ever arise.

Reloading powder in North Jersey
Hate to admit it..but.. I gave in to the scalpers. Running out of Bullseye. None around.... Bought 2# from a guy on Gunbroker. $98 incl shipping and hazmat. 2# = 14000 grains. Thats 3500 rounds, using 4 gr. for my 9's. Don't have to worry about it for quite awhile.

FFL Fees - cheat sheet
Have a related question re FFL fees.. What are FFLs charging for shipping a handgun to another FFL?? For example.. I sell a handgun on Gun Broker and rather than have to travel to a Fedex or UPS hub to ship it myself I have an FFL do it. Just curious as I note that most sellers on GB show $25 to $50 to ship. Thanks.

My Just say no to A2006 / S977 letter to the gov
Ditto for trains with more than one passenger car.....bus capacity to be limited to 10 passengers (just think of the lives saved). How many car passengers die in accidents every year. Remove the passenger seats from all vehicles capable of going over 10 MPH and save thousands.... After all ."Its for the children" as the OP noted. Also Pinto gas tanks to be limited to ten gallons....

You could always run for the New Jersey Assembly. There are 80 highly trained firearms experts there, who apparently spend every waking moment of their time involved with firearms.....

Did it hurt? Share your 1st firearm related incident
Just last week was shooting clays with an old Winchester single shot and my friend was throwing the clays with one of those el cheapo plastic throwers. He was on my right and very slightly behind me. I yelled "pull" and the next think I knew I heard a noise like a gigundo bell going off in my head. Got me squarely in the right temple with the clay. First time in 78 year that I literally got my bell rung. Have a nice welt but luckily no major damage. Pays to have a hard head.

Combative Training for People with Disabilities
The only thing louder than the crack of a pistol shot would be the cracking of my knees and ankles. Getting up from prone position......thats where the two Boy Scouts come in... Just a 33 year old stuck inside a 77 year old body....but still playing with my toys......

Used S&W Model 19, .357s
As said earlier. You cant go wrong with a Smith. Paid $450 for my 14-3 back in 07. Its my "go to" nightstand gun. Sounds like a decent price.

Uberti 1873 Cattleman
Bought my Cattleman back in 06 for $399. Currently have two Ubertis, the other being the Richards-Mason Navy Colt in 38 Spcl from Cimmaron. Have been very pleased with both six-guns. Good fit & finish. Fun to shoot and no problems with either. Enjoy.

Time and cost of reloading
Agree with Hiker 88. For me, its is a rewarding,relaxing and fun aspect of the hobby as well as saving a few bucks.. My buddy used to reload about 40 years ago and he kept his old RCBS Jr. set. About five years ago we dug it out and I got him to teach me. Little did he realize what a "brass whore" he created. So now I reload all my 9mm, 38, 45 ACP and 45 Long Colt. The old set is not fast but I am in no hurry. Just put on an oldies station on the radio, relax and crank out a 100 hand-mades. Its like....therapy-with benefits..
