Duppie

Only frangible ammo and only purchased at their store? Couldn't that prove to be expensive? What is the average cost of a frangible round compared to let's say a conventional target .38 or .223?

I would be interested in that letter.

Too easy Bro........

Very very nice.....I would be afraid to get my grubby paws on one.

Please don't misunderstand. I agree wholeheartedly with your views and with this letter. It shows sincerity,honesty and restraint. My point is that a certain percentage of your, mine or anyone's audience have already made up their minds and will most probably view your letter as just more propaganda. It irks me that the ones who profess to have an open mind more often than not have already made up theirs.......... Thank you for your service Sir.

Welcome.

This topic is so polarizing that those who had an open mind before now sit firmly in the Anti camp and most refuses to listen to a logical,well presented argument. I have friends like that and now gauge the level of receptiveness by the ability of me to get them to the range. {I have 2 coming with me on Tuesday} Chances are I'll convert them or at the very least reopen a discussion. I don't want to get too preachy with those who don't, simply because I know there are subjects that I've made up my mind on and to try to convince me is futile and if you keep pressing,I begin to question your credibility in just about everything.

Nope ....not for me either.

I believe that Taurus suffers from an image problem that they deservedly acquired several years ago. I also believe that image is largely undeserved nowadays.I keep a 605 .357 as a hd firearm and have fired now over 400 rounds of .38 and .357's without an issue. The gun is as tight and problem free as the day I bought it and find solace in their transferable lifetime warranty. That being said... a Taurus is not a S&W.

I read it all and must say for a brand new shooter you do have all the terminology down pat as well as a remarkable amount of firearm knowledge. Sure you're new to guns? any way welcome and having only a little over 2 years of gun experience myself, I believe you went the correct route except I would definitely invest in at the very least a NRA gun safety course for both you and the wife. Again Welcome.

Now reports state it is Cancelled.

Back in the late 80's early 90's my car and boat was regularly stopped and searched coming from Maracas or north coast after a fishing trip all the while one of the boat importing families had a side business bringing in guns right through the Trinidad Yacht club from Miami and Venezuela.

Once again Son......You don't say!

You don't say.........You have a sublime talent for stating the painfully obvious.

It was also reported that the NSSF,owners of Shot Show send out a press release stating that due to Reed's unfortunate policy they are reassessing the management and promotion for 2014's show. Never been but I'm guessing that it can prove to be a major financial loss for Reed, not to mention it's reputation.

So apparently the organizers did not gauge properly the impending backlash by them adopting such a policy,saw a steady stream of big named vendors abandoned them,crunched the numbers and saw that to continue with the show would be a major income loss......Now let's wait for the revised policy allowing so called AW's and see how they spin it.

I am of the opinion that the majority of these bills we've been seeing are a case of "let's throw it at the wall and see what sticks"but each has to be taken seriously since being embolden by Coumo in NY.

Perhaps one of the uninformed?

Having lived in Trinidad,Barbados and Jamaica briefly, I can tell you that guns are not banned 100% but heavily regulated. All firearms are supposedly registered with stiff penlites for committing a crime with a unregistered one.Long guns have to be warranted and proven used for hunting, protecting livestock and gun club members.Pistols are owned and licensed to the politically connected or a few merchants that can show need but very few qualify. That being said Trinidad and Jamaica is awash with hand guns and have been since the 80's ,most smuggled in from Venezuela and Brazil.

7pm according to the station.

Yes I just received an email stating that S&W is indeed pulling out of the show in protest. I know they are big and didn't the organizers anticipate such a response?
