Do you ever talk to the people that you used as references?

IIRC I paid 250 or so to move the safe from my garage(where the deliveryman left it) to my basement(one flight of stairs).

Ouch. Please keep us informed on your progress. Good luck.

There are very strict rules about pursuing a vehicle.

I'm selling the Yugo Tok in the classifieds. You're welcome to come to SCFGPA and shoot it before buying(just pay for the box of ammo if you choose not to buy). I can guest you in for free. Shoot me a PM if you're interested and we'll get together.

You're overthinking it. Not going to be a problem.

Just another point to add to Anthony's post. If you manage to shoot someone inside your house, even if it is a 100% "good" shoot, you will spend approx. $30,000 defending yourself from criminal prosecution. Then once cleared, you get to deal with the civil suit. You'd better be damn sure you/your wife's life is in imminent danger before you pull that trigger.

This.

When the wife and I can't be home we put candy in a large aluminum disposable baking pan. Even if the kids take the pan we're out a whopping 50 cents or less.

Spoke with the zoning official. I need a zoning permit($25) for any structure under 100sq ft, even if rebuilding something that used to be there.

This has been posted here before.

Yes, all DA/SA guns are the same with a heavier, longer double action pull, followed by a light, crisp single action pull. I shoot a DA/SA gun in USPSA and IDPA and never have an issue with the first pull being longer and heavier.

IMO I want the best manstopper at my disposal when I choose to shoot.

I like #1 or #3 buck for HD.

Wow, thanks for all the tips and pointers everyone. I will definitely be PMing some of you in the near future.

My vote is the Remmy 870. Always felt better to me than the Mossberg.

I should grab some of those Hornady slugs. Thanks Nick.

Rey, that's a pretty neat idea, and one I hadn't thought of. I was hoping to make something with a solid frame so I can hang critters in there during hunting season... but I suppose I could hang em from the tree out back instead. Something I need to look into some more. Dan, I have no problem building my own... and good call on keeping it under 100sq ft to avoid permits. I need to measure the footprint of the old shed anyway to see if I can get away with no permits(ie, replacing an existing structure). Any idea what a 12x8 or 8x12 would cost in parts? With a decent set of plans I think may be the way to go.

As posted in the other thread, I have been forced to build a new shed earlier than anticipated. Looking for some sort of wooden shed kit that I can assemble myself. Anyone gone this route? Hoping to keep the cost around 1500-1800 or so, and would like approx. 100sq ft. Thanks guys.

Cleaning out the fridge...

Just come by my place some night.

10rds for me.

I also had a Springfield Loaded that never had a problem.

Unsure. I don't know anyone who's had to check "been denied". My assumption is because it's so commonplace that carry permits are never issued, it wouldn't be an issue.
