Old Glock guy

My experience was similar.

From their website: http://www.tpath.org/sappa-news-and-reports.html

So sorry for your loss. You have my sincere condolences. I had a golden retriever for many years. He would run with me just about every day, and love it. They are beautiful dogs with great dispositions. I have never seen one that did not look happy.

Thanks for the clarification. I received the email as well, and thought it was yet another new entity, not realizing that it's Rosie's group.

Received an update from them this morning. I'll try to post it within the next day or so. Not really much happening, but the motion has been filed, court fees of $400 have been demanded and paid, and the courts are considering it (or, sitting on it, trying to figure out how to dismiss it, for the skeptical).

Very well said Alex.

Glad to hear your first handgun purchase went well. Good luck with your new Glock 19!

Amazing, that's a completely different story from the other one.

Good price! Thanks for posting. One can never have too much ammo!

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to disagree with the voices here. I find Cherry Ridge to be quite a nice place to shoot. Admittedly, I'm not there on the weekends very often, but even when I am, I've never had to wait for a place to shoot. Yes, I've been admonished by overzealous RO's on occasion, but not in a long time. They get a varied group of shooters there, so they need to maintain strict safety standards. I don't take any of it personally. I have now gotten to know most of the personnel up there, and find them all to be polite and pleasant. Yes, it would be nice to be able to draw from a holster on the handgun range, but I have been able to move within my port, use the dividers as cover, and shoot from kneeling and other awkward positions. That said, I do most of the work with my handguns at an indoor range, where I can move my targets at will, without having to wait for scheduled changes. The 50/100 yard rifle range is probably the most popular. The addition of steel targets there has been a welcome change. I have not yet ventured over to the 200/300 yard range. Looks like it's never crowded over there. The plinking range is fun once in awhile. I've spent time there after just missing a target change, or just for a little fun at the end of a range day. My senior rate is somewhere around $130 for the year. Unlike being on the clock at an indoor range, at CR you can stay all day until you run out of either time or ammo. If you're looking to try it out, you would need to have one of us guest you in. If anyone is interested, pm me. When I go up there, it's usually on a Wednesday, but I could probably do a weekend sometime.

If he had used an AR, we would be hearing renewed calls for an "assault weapons" ban.

Thanks folks. Some good suggestions here. I suspected the problem might be with me and not the gun, as when I pull the slide back on an empty mag, it locks back. Yes, I don't have that problem with my Glocks, or even with my Springfield Armory 9mm.

Picked up my compact model yesterday. Love the way it shoots, but the slide doesn't lock back after the mag runs empty. Are they all like that, or is there a problem with mine (or me)?

There's a YouTube video that shows it being done that way, but I seem to be challenged in the use of tools, because I had no success with it.

Thanks Lalo! I'll have to track one of those down. Tried a couple of local hardware stores, but they didn't have them. I'll try a couple more before resorting to Amazon.

It is my understanding that it also had a lot to do with states' rights vs. the federal government, an issue still very much under discussion today.

Good advice on the larger, enhanced safety. They are available at Brownells, and are relatively inexpensive (I believe somewhere around $10). I like the one I have on one of my Mossbergs, and have purchased them for my other four, but have not been able to figure out how to remove the special, tamper-resistant retaining screw. Any advice?

This is true in my town as well. Recently got some new P2P's within a couple of weeks of filing the application. I can't believe that municipalities can get away with requiring a new set of fingerprints. Since the value of fingerprints is that they are a permanent form of identification, requiring that new ones be obtained is clearly a ploy to increase the time, expense, and inconvenience of applying for new permits, with no other imaginable value than to discourage some people from going forward with the process.

Got a good chuckle out of that one! Ain't that the truth. And how dare the media portray this as a racist incident, when it's clearly a psycho incident.

What a tragic situation. I'm kind of surprised it took so long for someone here to post it. Wait for Obama and Bloomberg et al to call for stricter gun laws in 3...2...1...

Totally agree with the OP. The Declaration of Independence states that we are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights, among them being the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I like to refer to them as naturally born, Constitutionally protected rights. It's important to remember that the Bill of Rights is not a list of things we can do, but a list of what government can't do to us. PeteF gets it right: "NO! NO! NO! If a government gives you a "right" it is not a right but a priviledge. And as such can be taken away by said government. The constituition acknowledges that a right exists (God given, Endowed by our creator, Natural Right take your pick) and can not be restricted by the government. "

Gone again!

Contact ANJRPC. They are cracking down on towns that do not get the paperwork done in the 30 days required by law.

Saw the heading, was trying to decide whether or not to buy more, but no decision needed. Thanks anyway for posting it.

The tricky part is that it might not happen rapidly, but rather, as a clever, slow erosion of our rights, which would make it hard to determine where the red line is.
