Old Glock guy

Here's the full article for anyone who is interested: http://www.gunsamerica.com/blog/a-warning-to-all-gun-bloggers-and-forums-boston-marathon-explosions/

Consider a First Steps Shotgun class, where you can spend a few hours learning about your new shooter and practicing with it under supervision.

There is plenty of room in NJ for both ranges to be successful. We are fortunate to have two such nice facilities in our area.

I feel I'm remiss for not weighing in sooner on this. I have been a member at RTSP since they opened, and I love the place! My experiences there have been almost completely positive. Yes, I'm fortunate that I can mostly get there during the week, but when I've gone on weekend mornings, I've been able to get a port in less than an hour. The afternoons seem to get a lot worse. I have found the staff there to be mostly polite and helpful. If I were going to offer any criticism, it would be that they sometimes seem to be overwhelmed by the sheer number of customers, and they are not good at multi-tasking, although that may be inherent in the nature of the firearms business. The new GFH range in WP should take some of the pressure off them, while still leaving them with an abundance of business. I would guess that RTSP will retain most of the customers from Morris County and west, while GFH/WPR will attract the Bergen/Passaic crowd. Interesting that as RTSP was opening, they were blasted for their high prices by many on this board. In comparison with GFH/WPR, they look like a bargain. But that's the beauty of capitalism, that we have choices depending on what we want to spend.

I am a runner as well. In fact, my last marathon was Boston 25 years ago. I should probably have some kind of commerative celebration. Of course, it's hard to be in a festive mood with that horrific tragedy. I know that all our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families.

Wait, so an M1 Garand is OK, but an M1 carbine is a no-go in NJ? I saw Brownell's offering a stock like that for a 10/22. Can I assume that's legal?

OMG, that looks horrible.

Glock 19, gen.4 was my first. Second was a Beretta 92 A1.

Maks, how can you say that in the face of a nearly 17 trillion dollar national debt and one trillion plus annual deficits as far as one can see into the future? If the U.S. dollar collapses, or at least falls prey to rampant inflation, gold has historically been a preservation of wealth. I'm ready to move a lot of money into gold on this dip, and I'm curious why you feel otherwise.

Glad to hear it went well for you. We need more like that guy.

If PA has ceased honoring nonresident FL, AZ, and VA, what would make you think they are going to continue to honor Utah?

Another vote for this. I'm no expert, but I've never heard of any problem with switching brands, as long as it works in your gun.

IMO, this is a cogent discussion of how current legislation largely ignores the issue of keeping guns from the mentally ill; how the current proposals to take guns from legal gun owners will be ineffective in addressing the issue of mass shootings; and how concealed carry would help to reduce crime.

Piers Morgan is indeed extremely annoying, but he's not dumb. His incessant anti-gun rants have jumpstarted his dying ratings, as many of us have tuned in just so we can hate him.

That is my understanding as well.

I'm a little lazy, so I would just take the 15-22 that's ready to go and start shooting with it. Love mine, BTW.

I wonder how many of those pro-gun LEO guys and gals from the survey were standing behind Obama when he made his latest pitch for his gun control proposals?

I first heard rumors of a range opening in Woodland Park a couple of years ago. Then when RTSP opened in Randolph a year and a half ago, most of us assumed that the rumors had been incorrect. Apparently, we had had two new ranges in the works simultaneously, truly a blessing for the shooting community. Anthony had told me several months ago that the WP range would be amazing, but he gave me no indication that it was his project. I even asked him if GFH would have a presence at the new range, and he assured me they would. I guess he wasn't kidding! I'm looking forward to seeing the new facility tomorrow morning. Can't wait to start putting some lead downrange, although it looks almost too nice for that!

That's when I'm signed up for the tour. I will probably be there around 10:30-11:00. I'll look for you.

This is great advice. Even though I've been up there several times now, I still enjoy the practice field, especially with my short barrelled HD shotguns. Those also seem to work OK for skeet. But for trap, those clays get out there real quickly, so I use a SG with a 28" barrel.

And a good shot!

I'll bet the average person does not even know what the Second Amendment is.

I have a decent supply for now. But since no one knows if the current drought is going to last a few months, a few years, or forever, I've been trying to shoot more .22; and have been keeping a close watch on my inventory.

Of course logic and reason are on our side. Our founding fathers intended for us to have access to military weapons, which in those days were muskets. The Supreme Court has even affirmed this in a 1930's ruling. The problem is that the other side ignores reason and appeals to emotion, spouting moronic platitudes, like "If it saves just one life..."
