hmm. I joined 6/10. Do I have to request a range pass? I am guessing the temp one comes in the mail at some point ...?

This is a great break down. I just got the cheapest 9mm ammo I have ever bought from the Armory. $4 a box of my own sounds pretty darn good. I guess it would take a while to get the money back, but shooting to get there would be a fun way to get ROI

Well - I suppose technically if you buy the brass, it would come with the primer in the rim... But no, 22LR is not reloadable. okay so the term would not be "reload" but maybe "load"? hand load? There is no way to save on 22LR by making your own from scratch?

very fun.. Love stuff like that.

yep. no need to 'splain.

Flash might distract a shooter? dunno. When I was an E6 we didn;t allow any pics because it distracted everyone. It was especially bad when we shot the .50s. everyone posing and no one doing range safety. Honestly firing my M44 was more distracting than a photo, lol! Nobody was firing rifle when I got there. Pop pop pop.... BOOM! But yeah I think it's more for the LEO safety. we had guys taking all the time they could to duct tape a digital camera to the M2 behind the rear sight. It got crazy. When I did range safety I told everyone, "give me your camera and do your stuff. I will get a good pick." Helped a lot.

Awsome! 'cept you look like a little orange rifle fairy

Wait, so is there no way to load 22LR even if you buy your own brass?

mine is me too. Messing around in FOB Warrior a few hours before for the convoy SP home. I figured it was appropo here.

reminded me of this a little

Don't forget you can't use lead bullets in your glock unless you get a different barrel. oo, that's good to know. Thanks

These are great answers. I feel like I got pretty much the full picture here. am intruged though. One answer said you can get set up for about $140. I was looking at stuff that seemed all inclusive at Cabela's for 4-700 dollars. What would the $140 rig be and where would I get it? I am currently only interested in 9mm luger for my Glock. That might change if I get another handgun but not in the near future.

Do some handload to save cash? I am interested in starting to reload as long as the outlay of the machinery can pay for itself. All I care to reload is 9mm and 22 at the moment. Does sticking to fewer calibers reduce the 'capital' outlay at all?

The Czech's make Brownings?

I had the medium but I would have got the larger one if I had the choice.

A boat I would get a him a jug of wipes, but a ship, no. This was also very handy for me. http://www.mcnett.com/MicroNet-Ultra-Compact-Microfiber-Towel-Military-Style-P132.aspx

Whatever you do, don't send baby wipes in a jug. There is no point. Go for the packs that can fit in the leg pocket of the uniform. A jug is kept in the living quarters and these days there are showers for them. Wipes in the pocket are golden when you run into the porta john to blow your tanks and you find the toilet paper gone. One other thing, Baby wipes are great but when I was there the shortage of Gillette Mach 3 razor blades was considered almost an emergency, not to mention dam epensive when they were in. Send a few a month. The best thing sent to me (that's right, sent, because anything else is just something else to pack) was a coffee press and a hot water heater like you might see in a college dorm. Fill with coffee and hot water, press out the coffee and pour out into a cup. Far easier to deal with then a percolator or a drip coffee maker. Does he smoke? I got a great windproof lighter insert that goes into a zippo, replacing the wick and flint gizmo. That was great. He can get fluid there. Best thing given to me was a flash drive full of family pictures.

I think the biggest take away you can get from that incident is that the blaring shock of the alarm is going to add to the adrenaline cloud you will be in. Next time that alarm goes off you still might get that shot into the bloodstream, but you will be more aware of the fact that you need to be thinking, not just reacting.

The text provided says it is any IRS code 501 and 527 organization's members that contrbute to a political candidate or race. That is many many more organizations than just the NRA. So although the alert is correct, that NRA members would be affected, the point of it is not to find out who belongs to the NRA. It's a campaign finance thing.

I agree with njpilot. They acted suspicious, make a suspicious person's report. What stands out for me is that you had fire trucks and smoke earlier in the day. If it had been bad enough you might have had to go to a hotel, which might be what they were hoping. Even if that is wrong, why do you knock on a door if you have no intention of speaking to the person that answers it? Get their plate and a description in the system. Just because you had the FD out there earlier is no reason to think the PD will think you are crazy, especially with a story like that. Of course it could be nothing, but if it is something a suspicious persons report could be all the prevention needed.

Yours kind of plays into the whipped dog syndrome. You need to grow a pair, Junior. Please, You personally shouldn't write anything to anyone. The way you do it doesn't help. Why? Because threatening a politician by listing their home address on "psycho Militia" forums isn't ballsy, it's stupid and, quite honestly, extrordinarily wimpy. But that's just my brains talking. :roll:

No problem. If I have any flap from that crowd I'll post her home address on every firearm, RKBA, and wacko militia group on the internet. That way everybody knows where everybody lives. It seems like Ms. Greenstein wants to play hardball. Batter up, Ms. G. Note to Ms. Greenstein: I got your home address from public sources with about four mouse clicks. um, yea :shock: kind of plays into the stereotype doesn't it?

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/13/magazine/13dogfighting-t.html This article is about how the police are now investigating animal cruelty more than ever because it leads them to more and more violent criminals and crimes not related to animal cruelty. "The link between animal abuse and interpersonal violence is becoming so well established that many U.S. communities now cross-train social-service and animal-control agencies in how to recognize signs of animal abuse as possible indicators of other abusive behaviors. In Illinois and several other states, new laws mandate that veterinarians notify the police if their suspicions are aroused by the condition of the animals they treat. The state of California recently added Humane Society and animal-control officers to the list of professionals bound by law to report suspected child abuse and is now considering a bill in the State Legislature that would list animal abusers on the same type of online registry as sex offenders and arsonists.
