Other than shooting, I don't know what else would've caused it. No one else in my house had any issues. I don't think I was munching on lead paint or anything.. How often do you shoot / clean your firearms? I'm using the gloves so that the solvent and residue, soot, etc doesn't get on my hands. Non-latex because some of the solvents wreak havoc on latex / rubber based materials.

Just curious if any of you guys ever had issues with elevated lead levels from your shooting or shooting related activities. Outside of actually getting shot, have you ever had lead poisoning? 8-) A few yrs ago, during a routine physical, I asked the Dr. to check my blood lead levels. He was surprised at my request but did it anyway.. When he got the results, he said he did notice that my lead levels were slightly higher than what they should be. May have been due to shooting primarily at an indoor range (Ray's) and cleaning my stuff everytime after I shoot. Now I try not to shoot as much and clean with non-latex gloves on. What do you guys do to reduce your exposure?

Are there any performance or feeding/chambering differences between regular full metal jacket and TRUNCATED full metal jacket? I ordered 500rds of Fiocchi 124gr 9mm FMJ truncated. Didn't realize they were the truncated version until this morning when I reviewed my order, just thought they were regular FMJ's. Whats the reason for the "truncation" or the flat top of the bullet? I'm just hoping they won't cause any feeding issues or excessive wear on the feedramp?

Sorry to hear man.. I've put close to 800rds in mine over the last 3-4 yrs with no issues...

Don't mean to side track the discussion, but is the current one gun a month bill applicable to handguns only or long guns as well? Meaning, if I bought a handgun last week, can I buy a long gun this week? Or still have to wait a month?

Some updated pics of my rimfires.. Here they are together. MP 15-22 and Walther P22 Business end P22 two-tone with integrated Walther laser My wife loves this little thing! (The P22!!! Get your minds outta the gutter! :shock: )

I don't know much about it except they look cool as heck! I remember seeing one in the Classifieds a few weeks ago. I think Maks was selling it..

Nice..! Glad to hear you're satisfied. I'm assuming no FTFeed issues? I just ordered some today also.

I bought some bulk ammo using the Cabelas link ($5 shipping! FTW!!) and it'll come with the free storage box (ammo is backordered tho.. FTL). It'll be the first time I'm "storing" that much ammo in my house, so I was curious how you guys keep the ammo inside the case. Do you leave them in boxes the rounds come in, then put it into the storage box / tin like this? Or do you dump everything out of the boxes and into the storage box / tin like this? Does it make a difference?

He's in the store and has a bunch of WWII era (and maybe even WWI?) pistols and rifles. Its a great showcase, definitely worth a look..

Wouldn't that be "lying" on the application? What if they find that I am not self employed?

Have you called them for a status check? If so, what'd they say?

So what exactly is the legal definition of a "dum dum" bullet?

Would it fly if I cited a violation of privacy with my township? Or would they say its a requirement, so either "take it or leave it"? Has anyone had experience denying one of their town's "requirements" and still getting their PP or FIDs? :|

and they said everything was in order except the questionaire they sent to my work.. :?: I thought it was "excessive" to require 2 person references again just for purchase permits... But they also sent a questionaire to my wife asking if she objects to my request for PP's... Those were all sent back quickly, but I didn't realize they had also sent one to my office.. Its not a problem that they did, but my office has 2000+ people and it wasn't addressed to anyone in particular! :doh: So suffice to say, no idea where that questionaire is, so they're sending another addressed to my supervisor this time. What I want to know is, why is the work place questionaire required? :?: :?:

Yea, you know longer have to hang out with friends to keep them happy.. cuz you really have none. :mrgreen: There's now an "honor" and "fame" system that seems to work pretty well depending on how you behave in the world. The game says Im about 25% complete, but so far, the missions don't seem repetitive.. But just in case, rent it first..!

My gamertag is..... SURPRISE SURPRISE -- LEXCRUISER ! :mrgreen:

They're pretty nicely priced, but the old adage "You get what you pay for.." Does it apply here? Just needed something for my .22 rifle.. If its reliable enough to hold zero, that would be fine with me..

This game is awesome.. All I've been doing is hunting and skinning animals to sell.. LOL! I got charged by a wild boar the other day. And yes, there is an INSANELY dynamic multiplayer portion to this game. Some coworkers and I were playing in "free roam." We formed our own posse, rode into town and caused a ruckus.. Insanity!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

GHAHA!! oh crap.. I literally blew snot outta my nose!

I'm still bothered by the fact that they based this decision on pictures found on MySpace..

The 18" barrel length is required but the overall length of 26" doesn't apply to pump shotguns correct? Only for semi-auto shotguns? I may be wrong..

I'm still surprised that they denied you due to playing airsoft..? How is that a valid reason? Should anyone who plays first person shooter video games also be denied then? What about paintball? Were you doing anything in particular in the pictures that they deemed threatening? And I can't think of why they would've googled your name and found you on MySpace... unless one of your references replied that they felt you shouldn't have access to firearms and provided links to your MySpace profile... Who did you give as your two references?
