I agree...I think with all his overreaching policy's and attempts at Social engineering, he has overplayed his hand and even his fawning supporters are beginning to distance them selves for him.I say let him talk and propose all he wants, an egotist will rarely stop in time to save himself.

It was a VIA Canada train which has inland routes and does not cross into the US.

As is the case Fox is rather stretching the facts to fit the story. The plot was foiled with the help of the FBI but apparently only included a plan to bomb a Canadian Rail train in Canada by 2 residents with ties to Al Queda.There was no viable threat to America or Americans and had no connection to the Boston Attacks.

I attribute that to the fact that quite a few of these pistols are used in gun games and seen more as tools....I on the other hand am a novice and can't leave well enough alone.

Just bought some fishing and camping gear there last week and building up my points to get some ammo later....would I buy a firearm there? Perhaps if the price is right.

Exactly.......

What ever firearm you two finally choose, please include the young lady in the process. We made the mistake of deciding that I alone would do the research,legwork and final choice of the correct gun for us only to find out that the slide was too difficult fro her to rack and muzzle flip too pronounced for an effective follow up shot or 3. She finally decided that an all steel, 3 inch barreled .357 snubby was the best alternative for her and now not only is she comfortable shooting the gun but has become quite proficient and accurate at 21 feet.

Originally for my family's protection and while still the primary purpose, I do like shooting,handling and cleaning them. Small masterpieces of engineering and design that potentially yield such power is somehow intoxicating to me.......

Forgive me... but this tread should have effectively ended at post #22, the balance is just masturbation.

Exactly......I can't wait to hear the spin.

Very nice pair.......

I believe that anyone who did not grow up exposed to or handling hand guns in particular from an early age will have a brief period of uncomfortable unfamiliarity. That is why it is imperative that you get even the most basic of training beforehand. I too went through a period of nervous unfamiliarity but after following all the rules,breaking down the gun and reassembling,dry firing with snap caps and ample range time that mystique fades and you realize a pistol is like any tool who's proper use has to be learned and in turn respected. Slamfire never crossed my mind but forgetting a round in the chamber was and still is my greatest fear and I clear my guns constantly.

...so on top of your niggling complaint with SS's gun rental and ammo prices, you also take issue with their customer service?.... is there no pleasing you?

I certainly did.....but that's nothing new. I try to stand back and reserve judgment until all facts are in.. if any, and at times held to task because of it

Thanks Mr Bob.....

I believe that Ricin was used in the Japanese subway attacks by a cult years ago but as for another terrorist organization, I don't believe so.

Question.....If I and a couple of my closest friends were about to plant some bombs with out drawing too much attention,would we dress like a couple of Blackwater members on leave?.

Thus the "conceivably" in my sentence.... there is no need to get defensive, and I too have retired CO acquaintances, all of whom are gun owners but perhaps there was 2 who weren't ....now down to 1.

....so as a CO, even a former one,would conceivably already be a gun owner..... Don't make sense and I'm calling BS.

as someone posted before....where can you buy it for $10.00? have you priced ammo on line recently? Haven't you read about the same complaints at newer ranges in Northern NJ? I as able to find 9mm FMJ ammo for .15 to .19 cents a round not 6 months ago.... price it now. You have chosen an expensive sport where the ability to choose,purchase,arm and fire your weapon can prove to be costly . I too lament the cost of our sport but still understand that until more souls brave the choppy waters of financing,opening and successfully running a public gun range in this state , competition is practically non existent and prices reflect that. Get over it.

I'll see you hopefully soon....as soon as I can afford to replace any ammo I go through at the range that is.

Glad to see you still drop by from time to time Phil.

Touche......

OK...which indoor public range with attached retail operation does not rent firearms? and what are their yearly membership rates?

I beg to differ, before it became so recently prevalent a description for what in essence is actually profiteering, gouging was considered to be applicable to vital commodities solely.
