If anyone is planning on this, I recommend applying and being denied for a CCW. Would make a great case to bring to the SCOTUS if you're involved in a good shoot. Out of everyone I know, and those that I've met from the forum, I am aware of none carrying without a permit.

I'm gunning for placing in the top 3 while classified D. Sandbaggin FTW.

Fantastic. I would love to take part in this training if there are spots available.

All the disagreements seem to have been settled, can we send this thread back on track please?

Correct, battle.

I can't speak about the Kimber, but my GSG1911 runs very well on Federal Bulk, with a failure of some sort once every 10-20 mags. Never a failure with mini-mags though.

Optics mounted forward like Vlad's are designed for more of a CQB, whereas optics up by your face are more for longer-range shots.

Congrats! Pictures!

No idea. Here's a picture: And the sign is paid for by: http://www.mhainde.org/suicOverview.asp

They have those at the Del-Memorial bridge. "In Crisis? Call 1-800..."

I'd bet you weren't on the computer all night either!

It appears that Franklin Twp in Somerset County has decided to issue permits in 1 month's time, regardless of how long it takes them to process an application. I applied on September 30th and called today to inquire about the status. I was told that I "would be able to pick up permits this Friday" which is exactly 4 weeks(Sunday would be 30 days) since I applied. Doesn't seem to make sense that they could tell me definitively that I could pick up my permits Friday unless they were already done.

What's with the obsession with super-lightweight rifles? I used to carry an 8-9lb shotgun all day deer hunting, and recently moved to a 12lb gun. The 12lb gun is a bit excessive, yes... but 8-9lbs is nothing.

Look at my sig.

Check my signature line for how to post pictures.

Correct.

Works now, crazy!

Not working for me.

I believe 8 is the most you will find. I would rather have 6 rounds of .38 that my wife can manipulate 100% than a gun with 90 rounds and a slide that my wife can't rack.

Another benefit to a revolver is that a heavy .357 will have the kick of .22lr with .38spl loads. I keep .38+P in my .357 at home, which is very very easy for my wife to control.

Fantastic.

For the most part, yes. There are very very very few exceptions involving small game, but none will probably apply to you, and do not apply to deer hunting.

What's the price on Federal? I'm in for 5k.

To the OP... I don't know your wife's build, but MAKE SURE that she can rack the slide on anything you want to keep on the nightstand. My wife can rack the slide on some of my centerfire semi-autos if she makes a concerted effort, but in a panic I seriously doubt she would be able to. For this reason I keep a revolver next to one of my HKs in the nightstand. Also, I like having two pistols available just in case.

Very very nice!
