Acquiring sick uncles guns.
Your friend pulls the spare gun out of his bag and then what? Are you at the range? At his house? At a bank wearing ski masks? Does he stay with you while you're using it? Or did you get it from his house then go to the range?

That's why for USPSA/IPSC, it's "If you are finished, unload and show clear. If Clear, Hammer Down, Holster."

Buying new gun and ammo from gun shops
Bought a used Henry Golden Boy lever action .22 at Gander Mountain in Scranton, PA. This was back during the .22LR shortage a couple of years ago. The clerk had some stock in the back that they held in reserve - I got 5 boxes of CCI Mini Mags. So yes, Big Box stores will do this.

The Best of the Worst Red Dots
Add to the list: Vortex Strikefire Vortex SPARC Bushnell TR-25 I have the Strikefire and SPARC - both are good. I prefer the SPARC because of it's small size. I have a NCStar red dot for my Beretta Neos - This one: http://www.opticsplanet.com/ncstar-red-dot-sight-tactical-red-dot-with-4-different-reticles-silver-d4s.html It works as it has to - pretty visible - it may be kind of hard to see outdoors in bright direct sunlight. Indoors I haven't had an issue. Holds zero just fine. Field of view isn't that large but it's a tiny sight for a .22...

Acquiring sick uncles guns.
Let's try to make some things clear here. "Borrowing a gun" = can mean several different things. That's why there's language for temporary vs permanent transfer. Showing your buddy your gun in your basement? That's not borrowing a gun or transferring - it's still in your "possession." Going to your basement and giving a buddy one of your guns for him to bring home for a week? That's not a legal transfer... The only way it would be legal is if they have a NJ FID and you both fill out CoE's or Pistol Permits if it's a pistol. That's a permanent transfer. Then you do another permanent transfer to get it back. At a range, letting someone shoot your gun in the port? That's not a transfer or really even borrowing - it's in your "possession" the whole time.. When you're hunting, letting your kid use your shotgun (because they're a minor and can't legally own the gun) is a temporary transfer... and the ONLY kind of temporary transfer that's allowed.

That's another reason why I highly recommend for shooters to take the USPSA/NROI Range Officer course. You learn how to be a better RO and be safer - and therefore make it safer for everyone else.

For USPSA/IDPA/other competitions, the command is Stop. I can say Stop really loud and quick vs Cease Fire. Probably 3-1 ratio Not only that if it's an international IPSC competition - cease fire may mean nothing to someone from another country that speaks another language - however if they are trained to hear "stop" then they will stop much faster.

I wonder if they were using M855. I know MK262 is much more effective....- Acquiring sick uncles guns.

Why not hit up Steve @ Monmouth Arms?- What division do these mods put me under...
USPSA you would probably be in Limited or Limited10. Scored as Minor since you're shooting 9mm. IDPA you would be in ESP.- Cheap gun safe
I actually fit 9 long guns into the 8 Gun RTA Cabinet. The one with the electronic lock may have less room inside.- Cheap gun safe
Mine's black - 1 shelf. It's more of a half shelf too - the shelf doesn't go all the way from the back to the front of the safe. I keep some mags there though you could probably put a pistol or two.- Cheap gun safe
Fixed the topic for you. I have that same Cabinet. I got it from Dick's on Black Friday (was $80 on sale). 8 Gun RTA (have to assemble yourself) cabinet. It does the job - securing my guns from the kids.- Flying out of Newark with a firearm
