Old Glock guy

Welcome from Passaic County (Wayne). I'll look forward to meeting you at CR. Will you be touring the new range in Woodland Park?

If they were really only going after illegal guns, I would willingly support them. Unfortunately, like so many liberal projects, the name is an outright lie, or at least deceptive, like the "Affordable" Care Act.

Nearly four minutes of my life wasted that I'll never get back.

At this point, it's probably the SOB's from Gunbroker snatching it up to re-sell it at a huge premium.

These are the kind of calculations that everyone is going to need to make. That's one of the beautiful things about capitalism: There are different price points, depending on what is looking for. I love RTSP, the facility itself and the people there (but not the long waits). I would think that this new range will take some of the pressure off RTSP (not necessarily a good thing for them, as they have plans for a major expansion). But as much as I love it there, I'm going to need to take a serious look at this new place, as it's half the distance from my house, a mere 20 minute drive, versus nearly 40 minutes to RTSP.

Ruger SR22 shoots anything with no issues. As others have noted, .22 pistols tend to not be particularly exciting, but this one has not been too bad.

I'm a bit confused here. The law says if a semi-automatic rifle has a detachable mag, you're only allowed one other "evil feature," usually a pistol grip. That means that other features aren't forbidden on their own, just in combination. The way I understand it, if you don't have a pistol grip, you can have a collapsible stock, for instance. So how can the laws ban you from owning a flash suppressor, bayonet lug, etc., if they are not illegal on their own? As I understand it, the law does not forbid you from owning multiple EF's, just from having them on a gun.

Do most people do this? I know that I don't. I'm surprised that the government has not yet mandated the equivalent of an odometer in guns.

I hope deals like that are a sign that things are starting to normalize.

I've never seen it, but I'll have to try some. Love their HG ammo. Was it expensive?

Shooting Gallery on the Outdoor Channel. did a show about it recently. You might be able to find it somewhere. It looked really hard. I've thought about going, but I'm not sure if I could handle two days of precision shooting.

Same here. That Anthony sure is tight-lipped. I had spoken with him several times and he hadn't said a word about it. Looks great. Congratulations!

I'm surprised they didn't say it was an AR-15, since that's the dreaded "killing machine" that the media is currently demonizing.

I kind of like the show. Plus, the women are pretty hot.

Go to Thunder Mountain. Nice folks running the place. Very casual and friendly to novices. They will even provide guns free of charge with the purchase of ammo.

Good answer! I'm still trying to figure out what a collapsible stock has to do with anything.

Nice!

Yes, that's about correct. You may or may not have to announce your intention to use force, depending upon the immediacy of the threat. I believe most on here would agree that it would be better for an intruder to run off because he knows you are armed, even if it means losing a TV or something; than to have to shoot someone, and risk taking a life. It's a tough call, because when it's time to shoot, there must be complete resolve, with no hesitation. I think it's good to ponder some of these scenarios and train accordingly.

I just heard their governor proudly proclaim, "We now have the toughest gun laws in the nation." I'm sure our legislators will look at it as a challenge to beat them for the top spot.

Welcome to the forum. You have come to the right place! Already you have received some solid advice, and there's lots more on here.

I have a G19, G23, G34, and G35. I'm standing pat for now, although I could envision perhaps one day adding a G26.

Thread over.

Second that! I love my shotguns. I have three: two Mossberg 500's, one with a 20" barrel, the other with a 28" (the two are not interchangeable); and a 590A1. I have taken a couple of training classes, and take them up to Thunder Mountain fairly often. The two with the shorter barrels work fine for practice trap and skeet. The one with the longer barrel is better for trap. Even though I'm only 145 pounds, I can shoot them all day, although I do occasionally get a bruised cheek from the 28" one. Must be some kind of bad fit. It is definitely easier to shoot bird and trap shot than it is to be hammering out buckshot and slugs.

Have heard of it. Did not look it up. Sure hope there were no pix!

I've noticed that the made-up term "assault weapons" is no long strong enough, so now Obama, Biden, and others are referring to AR's as "weapons of war."
