First time I shot a gun, other than a BB gun at girl scouts, was when I was 20 and already in the police academy. My dad was a huge rifle guy during the 60's but stopped shooting when kennedy was assassinated and firearms and ammo purchases became more stringent. So unfortunately, he didn't get me involved with shooting when I was young. That said, the first time I held a pistol I was 8...maybe 9. I remember it vividly and the patience my dad had with me while showing me the weapon and how much he stressed the safety of handling a weapon. I remember telling him that it scared me a little. He asked me "Why?" "Because you can kill someone with it," I responded. I will never, ever forget his response. "Are you a afraid of a pencil?" "No." "You can kill someone with a pencil if you don't use it properly." That still makes so much sense to me. I love that man.

Just a reminder about Sunday's steel shoot. Let me know if there are any changes. Also below is a copy of an email I sent to someone with some questions about the match. There will be a code on the access gate when you arrive in order to get in. Once you go through the gate the range is the first lot on the left. Be sure to get the gate code to leave!

Maybe earlier depending on how many people are there. There's no food or drinks there so bring whatever you think you'll need for the day. Cost is $15, $10 for revolvers. Per person, per weapon. So if you're shooting more than one gun it would be $15 per weapon. Squads are assigned in the morning and assigned to start at one of the 5 stages. Once a squad completes one stage they move onto the next until all 5 stages are complete.

I meant the guy who shot himself with the .45.

Ok. Ready! lol

Give me a couple times out. Then I'll take that.

How did that happen?

He's got me there. Don't listen to him. He's cranky. Feed him lemon crunch pie and he'll change his tune.

I love the P226. I believe Sig still has a deal going where you can buy the P226 .22LR and add on a 9mm or 40 slide for an additional $300 roughly. Turns out to be about the same price as just getting the 226 in 9mm. I would go with the SRT too, but that's just me. It wasn't in the cards money wise right now so I went with the G17. I like it a ton more than the G19 simply because the 19 just felt too small for my hands. The 19 is better as a CCW in my opinion. Not something I would bring the to range every week or compete with. Glock is a good weapon to start with. Yeah yeah yeah "Don't drink the Kool-Aid" but it is an inexpensive weapon that you can do anything to and not have to worry about it functioning or not. And if you hate to clean your weapons like me, Glock is the way to go. Only thing I would recommend is to replace the sights or at least black out the rears and to have the trigger lighted. I love my Beretta but honestly, probably wouldn't get another. Namely, I have the 96 which is a .40 on a 9mm frame. It just isn't designed to handle the .40 and I've known of others who have had the frame crack on them (the 96 models) around the 13,000 round mark. Also, in my experience, they are fincky on the ammo they fire. If I shoot anything over a 155 or 165 grains I am assured numerous misfeeds. My friend is an armorer for a local PD, he said the Beretta carbines are the same way with the 180 grain. My neck of the woods! Hi from Holmdel...I am proof poor people live in Holmdel too!

LOL. I was going to but really didn't think it would be nice to immediately go off topic on that thread as well.

There's wishful thinking.

Pssst.... Tony. Watch out for this one. And don't believe anyone about pie. It's all BS.

It's quite possible I just fell in love with Wojo. Well said my friend.

I like this guy. Better than the beating I usually get around here!

Can't argue that!

Welcome! (Ha. I was first! I'm the nicest!)

I'm with Jon on this one. I can do without the lamp. As Matt would say...lame sauce. lol

I'll keep that in mind next time I pass roadkill. I'm sure you'd enjoy that too ya hillbilly.

There you go.

When and where did you go to school? (poor squirrels. love those things)

As if we need another example for stricter gun laws in this state.

Wilkommen!

Hear hear! Legalize it, tax it, get us out of debt.

Ken. He started it. Who thinks pumpkin pie isn't a dessert? Seriously?!
