The Gun Owner Next Door
I reside in a community with an inordinate amount of ex cops,ex military,ex firemen,NRA stickers abound and while the subject has yet to arise in polite conversation,I'd guess there's quite a bit of firearms in the neighborhood. I'm confident that if the occasion should arise perhaps a few, if not most would come to my and my wife's aid as I would theirs. It called being a good neighbor. I think we've forgotten how to be good neighbors instead focusing on insulating ourselves from possible personal and financial loss by getting too close to each other,Shame. I like my neighborhood,we're old enough to not give a damn what people think but still young enough to enjoy each others company.

So what's on yours?

Government bought ammo?
"Actually I've never been to this guys shop in my life" That's peculiar....in your original post you said, and I quote " He's a real honest guy too" . So you vouch for the gentleman's honesty enough to post his FB quote,never been to his store and he just opened recently. You don't see a believability issue here Buddy? Shades of your inside connection on the fishing blog and his take on firearms all over again. Look Shawn if you didn't try so damn hard maybe we'll be a little more charitable to your proclivities and desperate need for attention even at the risk of looking like a blithering idiot. I hear they need a moderator on the NJ ice fishing blog.......I'm sure we'll be happy to provide references.

San Francisco moves to ban hollow-point bullets
Those opposed to guns have sensed a shift,a change in the wind, if you will and will take this rare opportunity to list every firearm related item for increased legislation.I believe we all saw this coming and while Sandy Hook was a terrible tragedy the anti's saw the benefit of capitalizing on America's grief to further infringe on the rights of legal gun owners. I think we'll see a flurry of these bills all over the most liberal of states but them passing may be difficult and time consuming but I fear inevitable.

We all need to take a deep breath
Rather telling that the older, established and respected members on this forum are for the most part conspicuously silent while some of our sophomore members continue to dial up the volume.

We all need to take a deep breath
I agree wholeheartedly......We're all wound up and feeling angry,confused and powerless. While the forum is an ideal venue to let off steam, I fear some of what is posted makes us as a group appear rabid and slightly nuts, we can ill afford to be perceived as such in light of recent events.

My S&W Model 28-2.
Yesterday I was finally able to hit the range.Shore shot was at first crowded with buyers but the black guns were all sold apparently as the wall was bare with 2 associates on the phone trying to order more.The range was filled with new shooters and Phil had his hand full instructing 3 lanes of novice shooters. I started the 28 out with some Remington 130 grain .38s and at 10 yards was able to accomplish some very tight groups but a bit high and to the right, recoil was practically non existent. After adjusting my grip and trigger coverage the 10 ring became so easy and almost intuitive.... I love this gun. 50 rounds and 4 targets goes fast...too fast even when reloading 6 rounds at a time by hand, so now on to the .357s I went through half a box of Fiocchi 142 grain .357s without so much as a twinge of discomfort or strain on my strong hand.Where is the stress I've read so much about firing .357s? Next up was a box of handloaded .357 hollow points that came with the gun and was most likely loaded in the 90's by the original owner and "rolled hot" as lunker so colorfully put it. What a rush.By this time the target was at 15 yards and while accuracy suffered somewhat I was still in the 9s with perhaps 10% flyaways. My neighbors shooting the obligatory Glocks had to ask what I was shooting but declined my offer for a couple shots. The 28-2 while heavy was not difficult to shoot even with the .357s,more accurate and forgiving than it has a right to be with me on the trigger and recoil was apparent but very manageable even with hot loads. Trigger is crisp and immediate and has spoiled me for other guns. I did well trading for this revolver and understand why shooters like Mr Bob,lunker,smoking 50,M4BGRINGO and the rest swear by S&Ws.

Bizzar response by NRA over CT attrocities
Pretty close indeed...........

Bizzar response by NRA over CT attrocities
Agreed. A short,concise statement such as you've written would have gone a long way in turning down the volume on critics asking for something,anything from the NRA.
