Old Glock guy

Welcome! Definitely add a shotgun. See you at GFH range.

I know that they have it at RTSP.

Well said my friend! Glad to hear that you persevered. Good to know that there are so many new people interested in becoming gun owners. I feel like a grizzled veteran, even though I've only been at it for a couple of years.

Nicely done! Consider yourself fortunate that they will publish it. I have written a few letters to the Bergen Record, and they have limited me to around 300 words. I half-kiddingly suggested op-ed pieces for a couple of my lengthier efforts, but they would not even entertain that idea. Good to see others getting our side out, as I suggested in a recent thread. Most of the mainstream media are much better at presenting the other side. My only suggestion to you might be to condense your piece a bit. (They might do it for you.) Sad to say, but the average reader does not have much of an attention span, particularly in reading a viewpoint to which they are opposed.

A second amen here.

While the pump shotgun you own is clearly legal, you should be aware that it is a crime to OWN an illegally configured gun, not just to use it in an HD scenario or otherwise. Wanted to be sure you understood that.

Nice! You sounded like Al Pacino: "I'm out of order? You're out of order. Your f'ing court is out of order!"

I see what you did there.

Way off topic here, but I hope you know that they make lactose-free milk for people like us.

Hardly an expert here, but the ZT 0350 was my EDC for about a year. I really liked it, but I ditched it recently because it was too bulky and appeared too menacing. My new sweetheart is an H&K Nitrous Blitz, which is slender and quite sharp. http://www.google.com/imgres?q=h%26k+nitrous+blitz&sa=X&rlz=1R2RNTN_enUS344&biw=1280&bih=827&tbm=isch&tbnid=LsXn7W4LPleYdM:&imgrefurl=http://www.knifecenter.com/item/BMHK14460SBT/Benchmade-Heckler-and-Koch-Nitrous-Blitz-Black-Coated-Combo-Edge-34-inch-Assisted&docid=Tvizyzby6Scj5M&imgurl=http://images.knifecenter.com/thumb/1500x1500/knifecenter/bnchmd/images/hk14460sbt2.jpg&w=719&h=455&ei=waWSUdnxJ6PR0wG_g4CgAQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=951&vpy=436&dur=234&hovh=178&hovw=282&tx=177&ty=88&page=1&tbnh=142&tbnw=237&start=0&ndsp=34&ved=1t:429,r:19,s:0,i:140

You could be hung up there for a long time if you dwell on it, because there is not much to choose between them. I have three Mossbergs, because I find the safety easier to manipulate, as alowerlevel noted. Now I really don't want to get a Remington, as I do not want any potential confusion about the safety in a critical situation.

I would respectfully suggest that you do a search, as this has been discussed many times on here. Lots of good info available.

I tried leaving it blank, but it demanded an answer. Based on that, i did not answer.

As I understand it, you can pin it to whatever length you like. It certainly does not have to be fully extended, just fixed at whatever length you choose.

Hey Maks, question two is going to mess up your data for people who check "no" for question one. It should either be, if you respond "no" to question one, skip to number three. Or there should be a "does not apply" response to question two. As it stands, there is no appropriate response to #2 following a "no" to #1. Does that make sense?

I would recommend you get another P2P and get one of each. Or, you could get the 9mm and get a .22 conversion kit from Advantage Arms or Tactical Solutions.

MDTS Practical Knife Skills Class, Sunday, 5/26. Anyone going? http://www.mdtstraining.com/SKS.pdf

I love when people find out and say, "Wait, you own A GUN?" And I grudgingly admit, "Yes, I own A GUN," not mentioning what they would consider an arsenal. Not much to add here. Seems like we all have similar experiences with friends and family who dispprove. The best advice you have been given is to avoid discussing it with people who are resistant, and if anyone shows some interest, take them shooting (if you can find and afford the ammo). As we all have found, once that happens, they will likely be won over.

Very creative!

That Kyle Coplen should be nominated for sainthood or something similar. And BTW, why is no one citing this poll showing that 94% are AGAINST background checks or any other new federal laws: http://www.pbs.org/w...-on-guns/16826/ (You have to click on "View results.")

You know, I used to like the Daily News. No more. Were they always so liberal and I just didn't notice? Or have they gotten more so?

IMO you should get some 00 buckshot for HD, and shoot some of it to get a feel for what it's like and how it patterns. You might want to shoot a few slugs just for the fun of it, but you are unlikely to need them for HD/SD, and they are pretty pricey. For the fun of just blasting away, either at paper or clays, get some #7.5-8.5 target loads. They go for around $75 for a case of 10 boxes, or 250 rounds. I also have a 590 A1, and while it's fun to shoot, it's not particularly useful for clay shooting; however at Thunder Mountain (kind of far from you) they have an area they call "practice trap," where you stand close to where the targets are launched, and they go out in the same direction each time. My 590 A1 works just fine for that, and it's a nice break from blasting holes in paper.

Great info to use against the antis.

Skip the range for tonight. Have a beer (or two).
