Old Glock guy

I would have agreed with this in the past, but I must say that something like a SIRT trainer or laser cartridges can make dry-firing a lot more fun and useful. Unfortunately for Newtonian and other revolver guys, the SIRT is a replica of a Glock 17, so it's probably not too helpful. But for us Glock and other semiauto guys, it can greatly enhance the value of home practice.

Well, that was the original forecast. But this is not the first time I've been forced to eat my words, and I'm pretty sure it won't be the last.

Oh, but then they think it's a good idea to deny people the right to purchase firearms if they are on the terrorist watch list? If it's impossible to give off the NICS denial list, how could anyone ever hope to get off the TWL?

Not that I was planning to go there, but it sounds kind of wimpy, considering that the forecast for Randolph is for 2-4 inches of snow.

What starts in California... I'm sure our Democratic legislators are watching carefully and taking notes.

Magpul makes what they call a "Multi mission sling," which can be used with two points of attachment, or switched over to one, for fast transitions in tactical situations, mainly in training classes for us. For the latter use, you will need a sling adapter. http://www.woodburyoutfitters.com/info/2016-coyote-seminar

If you can make it to wherever these guys are: http://www.woodburyoutfitters.com/info/2016-coyote-seminar

Welcome to the boards from someone who is the same age. Good choice for your first handgun. Most of my handguns are 9mm, as they are easier to shoot, and the ammo is less expensive than .40 or .45. Stockpile it when you see it at a good price. It keeps for a long time, and one never knows when there is another ammo shortage around the corner. I would recommend that you continue to get plenty of training. Oh, and you're going to need a shotgun.

Sorry, I don't mean to be the party pooper, but I can't make it on the 23rd. Generally, a weekday evening would be much better for me.

Thanks for the heads up on this group. I have been looking for places to train this year, and these guys are less than an hour from me. I will be watching their schedule closely. Hope to run into some of you there.

Ah yes, the random brakers, as I affectionately know them. They are quite annoying. And these may indeed be the ones I most detest.

Apparently, the author of that article had the same thought that I did: : "A third potential reason for issuing a guidance of this sort is political: to respond to the political demand for action. Issuing a guidance document with substantial fanfare is a way to create the impression of action and satisfy relevant constituencies. To the typical, rationally ignorant voter, it may appear that the administration is doing something significant. (And insofar as Republicans complain and caterwaul about the administration’s actions, this purpose is more fully achieved.)"

Good article. How did the author get to carry a handgun on the trip to Boston? I though CCW was severely restricted in Massachusetts.

Please tell me if you believe I'm missing something, but the more I think about it, the more I think these EO's were good for our side. They give the antis the illusion that Obama is doing something, but they really do not amount to anything. It's just a clarification of the laws regarding who needs to have an FFL to sell guns, while avoiding "universal background checks" that would require them for transfers among family and friends, or people who sell an occasional firearm.

Looks like I'm about 45 minutes from Bridgewater, so I'm in.

Do bore snakes count?

Doesn't really matter. I'm usually a wine and beer guy, but I may need whiskey to get through this one!

CNN always gets a boost in ratings whenever they start to talk about guns, hence that whole multi-week thing with Pierce Morgan after Sandy Hook. I have my DVR set. I'm going to need to go home and start drinking heavily to get ready.

It's about an hour from where I am in Wayne, so not my first choice, but certainly possible.

Indeed, a nice turn of phrase!

Yes, I just got the same note. At that price, still worth the wait.

I'm on it! Thanks Howard.

So does yesterday's executive order mean that the antis should now STFU about "The Gun Show Loophole"?

So I must look like the Invisible Man to you. I really need to see about getting an avatar, after nearly five years here.
