When was that book written?

I was hoping a trip to the gun show would help me with making a choice on which .22 to buy, but of course it did the opposite. The sr22 was edging out the mk, but I was also liking the SAA style .22s and the Beretta Neos. Though I am thinking with the SAA style it might not be as much fun for people that had not already been interested in firearms, while the Beretta Neos I am liking just because it looks interesting compared to a lot of pistols. Fortunately todays trip was not a complete waste as I got some 6.5 Swedish ammo and 20 .45 full moon clips for my M1917 since I somehow lost all 5 I originally had. Ill go back tomorrow and hopefully be able to finally decide.

She did a run with one shot each, though the gun mounted camera malfunctioned so it's only the street camera one.

You think that it would make that big of a difference at least for initial training? I definitely agree that if she were to buy a firearm for self defense a revolver is a great recommendation (hell my own home defense firearm is a S&W M1917).

It's that line of thinking, that has given the gun control groups far more power than they should have. By making firearms a taboo subject to talk about in public they have managed to create the illusion that firearm ownership is a tiny minority of extremists, to non gun owners. These forums have plenty of examples illustrating how by making firearms taboo they have been able to isolate gun owners from one another and even more importantly greatly hampered us from getting new people interested in firearms. How many times have we seen threads along the lines of "I was talking with X person at Y place, the subject of firearms came up, and to my surprise it turned out that X person was also a firearm owner" sometimes with even "Z group of people around joined in, who were also firearm owners or interested in firearms". Yet we are always surprised by these discoveries of other people with an interest in firearms, because subconsciously we believe we actually are a very small minority of people. What we need to do is talk more openly in public about firearms. We need to make it not a taboo subject to talk about, because once that happens the amount of power the anti's have in the firearm debate will greatly diminish as more and more non firearm owners realize the firearm owners, are their neighbors, coworkers, friends and even family members. Than instead of just taking the anti's at face value, and ignoring the "extremist gun owners" they will know that those supposed "extremist gun owners" are not actually extremists, and are quite logical and level headed.

Well at the very least I like the looks of the ruger mk and sr22 pistols and would not mind owning either. There is a gun show Ill be going to this weekend so Ill be checking both of them out. I have been wanting to get myself a .22 for a while any way, it's just when ever I go to a gun show I almost always find some cool Military surplus firearm that I decide I want, and end up buying instead.

So the Ruger SR22 seems to be the best pistol to train a new person on. I am guessing that you would also say that if I had the money for one it's worth buying?

I'll keep that in mind though I don't think that will be an option due to available time. When she is in NJ she normally does not a lot of spare time, between visiting friends and family that she only gets to see a couple of times a year. Unfortunately, unless she absolutely falls in love with shooting, she won't have anybody around to actively encourage her to continue shooting even if she turns out to be interested in shooting. Also a slight modification to my previous question, what is the best and most fun .22 to teach a new shooter on? My hope is that she will enjoy shooting enough that she will continue on her own.

cool, I assume that they have .22 pistols to rent. Any recommendation what is the best .22 pistol to use for training a person new to shooting? I have a number of firearms, but I really don't have any that make great trainers.

What's the distance do those shooting lanes go to at those two ranges?

This past weekend my parents came to visit me. During the visit my sister called my mom because she was unsure what to do about a group of guys that were standing outside of her apartment that she had never seen before, when she gotten home. Apparently when she was bringing something in from her car one of the guys asked her if she needed a hand carrying anything into her apartment, which she said no. She went into her apartment and the guys seemed like they were waiting outside, and overall it bothered her enough to call my mom which of course led to my mom being bothered about what was happening as well. After my mom told my father and I about why my sister was calling, my mom made the off hand remark to me "you need to let your sister borrow one of your guns" I basically replied that I couldn't. For the past couple of days I have been thinking about it, and realized I may have been given an opportunity to get my sister to the range. Now my sister is pretty liberal, and while I do not know exactly what her opinion on firearms is, I have been assuming that she's the type of person that has no interest in firearms, fully supports "reasonable" gun control what ever the anti's are defining it as this particular week. So I am thinking with this incident and possibly a slight nudge from my mom I might be able to get her to the range. Maybe eventually she will get a firearm for self defense, or if I am really lucky she will become a firearm enthusiast. First step of course is getting her to the range, but I need some information in order to do that. For one, what is a good range near Brick Township, that preferably has firearm rentals. Second what is their policy for people that do not have a FPID (I know that it shouldn't matter because that's only suppose to be for firearm purchases but that doesn't mean that a range won't have its own requirement, or it might be needed for a rental.) or live out of state? My sister lives in Rhode Island so if any one has an idea of what the laws are like up there, that would also be greatly appreciated to get her started on the right track if she does eventually decide to purchase a firearm.

I just bought that book last night Planning on reading it this week.

I am pretty sure she is fine being in Texas. I think there are a couple of western states that if you shoot at them while they are retreating it's still considered self defense because it may only be a temporary retreat and they are planning on returning.

Link is not working for me, but I think I know the picture, since I have seen a similar story before, though the story might have been a westbero church person that crossed a group of bikers, so I'll say overall this story is probably false.

I have a Henry in .44 Mag and I love it. Two weeks ago, It was one the rifles I brought with me to an Military Vehicle rally, and out of the firearms that we where shooting it was everybody's favorite. So I am going to recommend get a Henry, plus the brass colored receiver is a nice change of pace from your typical rifles.

I say go for it, I have a MAS-36 and getting and never really had to look hard to get ammo for it. Even during the worst of the 2013 ammo drought, I was still seeing 7.5 French for sale on all the websites that usually sold it. Of course now after a quick search I am not finding any, but considering that all the machines that they use to load 7.5 ammo were probably being used (and may still be) to load .308 during the drought It might be a little while before they do another run of 7.5 French.

Kind of reminds me of a guy in my apartment complex. Often when ever I am working on my truck, he will walk up and just watch me, and not say a single word. I'll say something like "Do you need any thing?" In a friendly manner and he'll say "Nope" and just continue to watch me, It's definitely a bit creepy. I noticed he'll stand there and watch any one working on their cars, though usually I will see him talking with the person working on their car a bit. So the him not talking to me might be because he is the type of person that does not start or lead a conversation, which is the way I am myself, so it ends up just being an awkward silence. There is another guy in my apartment complex that often will ask me for some money between 5-20 bucks once every 2 to 3 weeks, which I usually give him. After about two months he always pays me back all the money that I lent him up to that point. than like 3 weeks he is asking to borrow money again. Since he always pays me back I continue to loan him the money.

Duct Tape!!! If the next Superman movie was just a bunch of stuff along similar lines, I think it would be the greatest superman movie of all time

Now you should take it apart and fix/improve it.

I am interested but I have to find out if either my brother or parents will let me stay with them for the weekend. *Forgot about NJ's stupid rules, and since I don't have a FPID means I can't stay at my brothers place. fortunately my parents place is still officially my home of record so I believe I should be fine staying at their place, unless their is some special rules for out of state competitors so they can stay the night in NJ. Somebody please tell me that their is since my mother really does not like firearms, so she would not really like me bringing any over.

Pretty much every thing that is illegal that you guys named mine does have, and no that rifle will never be going to NJ. I am stationed in VA so while I am a NJ resident, I can buy firearms here as if I was a VA resident. This is the third firearm that I own that would be illegal in NJ. It's kind of my own private way of saying F you NJ and your stupid firearm laws.

I got my first AR Sunday a Windham Weaponry SRC model. I think I will eventually get the detachable carry handle for it since I really like the classic look.

I am really only guessing but probably not considering that in practice FOPA means almost nothing. There are plenty of stories where a person is going to fly across country but their flight leaves from some place like JFK, and they get arrested even though they are transporting it correctly, and the firearm is legal both in there starting destination and their final destination.

I forgot to take that into consideration, so it may actually be legal. Though I would not be surprised that if they wanted, the police could argue he left the firearm in his car in the parking lot, and the parking lot is not a gun shop so therefore his destination was not one of the exemptions. I mean it would be a massive dick move to do, but this is NJ and the state thinks we are criminals in the making.
