Duppie

Not wanting for yet another Pawn spinoff, truTV is offering up "Combat Pawn"apparently about a gun shop/range near Fort Bragg called Guns Plus and staffed by ex military. I'll give it a shot but hope that they keep it a real as possible with out the standard cartoonist theatrics that plague just about all of these so called reality shows......Nahhhh. Premier episode airs on Sunday July 15'th at 10:30pm.

" I can think of a million different scenarios where this could happen". A million? really? You Sir have a way more vivid imagination than most on this forum, myself included.I am sure we are all aware of the shortcomings of the media and their credibility in relation with firearms, as well as watching our P's and Q's but thanks anyway for your sage advice.

....thus my question, I have no experience with holsters besides what I've read but even with the limited adjustments afforded a very few IWB models, it would seen quite a feat to accomplish an accidental fatal chest shot, even more so with the victim behind you...

It has to be the store because the register accepts it without a manager override so the POS system has no exclusions on ammo even if the coupon does.

That's the only thing I buy at Dicks and have never had an issue at either the East Brunswick or Freehold store. I always fill out the online customer survey on the website found on the bottom of their receipt, which allows me to print a $10.00 coupon and then pair that with the $10.00 check they mail me after spending I believe $200.00. Time them with their ammo sales and stock up.

The only other relevant line in the article is "There was some manipulation along the officers waistline that he did not control". Which I take to mean that she somehow fumbled with the gun and shot her self?

Someone has got to explain this to me. "A woman in Detroit has died from a gunshot wound to the chest after hugging a friend, who was a off duty officer,from behind." "The officer had a gun in a holster made from a soft fabric on his waist which would allow the trigger to be activated". I don't see how unless she was very short and his holster has an extreme forward tilt.

Excellent choice.. I too am waiting for some paperwork to be finalized so that I can own a S&W revolver. Looking for a model 66 or 686 with a 3 inch barrel myself but the Taurus will still have a place beside my bed.

Not unlike some who would compare a Taurus to a Smith....."It's still a Ford"

Went in at lunch and bought 2 100 round boxes of Winchester 115 grain FMJ AT $24.98/box and 1 50 round box of Remington 115 grain at $12.98/box. Used both of my $10.00 coupons to a grand total of $45.95 tax included which in turn works out to 18 cents a round. Not bad I think.

As a Taurus .357 owner I am satisfied that it was money well spent,It was reasonably priced,fit and finish is good,reliability and performance is excellent and the lifetime transferable warranty is comforting...........But it's not a Smith and Wesson. As long as you can come to terms with that inescapable fact, a Taurus is a very good option.

I'm hitting them tomorrow to use both of my $10.00 coupons.

I've come to learn that the shooting community is largely made up of generous,genuine and honest folks that would go out of their way to initiate nubees into the fold, frequently at great expense and demands on their valuable time. Accept graciously and as Mr Bob said "Play it forward". I purchased Remington ammo at my local Dick's and it seemed to please everyone.

I was in the same position not too long ago and all declined to accept cash for their ammo but I made it a point to carry a box each of decent .45 and .40 ammo and was able to repay their generosity. All but the most temperamental gun will cycle decent ammo and it's owner will appreciate the gesture.

Thanks for the reminder, just ordered another 500 rounds of Blazer brass 9mm.

Taurus 605 .357 loaded with Hornady Critical Defense rounds and an additional speed loader.

He had better be talking out of his a** or we're all in violation.....

Man you had to see this coming......You've taken some serious blows and have already retreated to the standard "I don't care what anyone thinks" stance but take a deep breath and think for a moment.Did you really consider your audience before you stood up in favor of the authorities...any authorities knocking on someone's door on a paid tip to demand proof of legal ownership of something so controversial as a gun in this state. Really? Do you not see the devastating precedent it sets and possible violations to rights and privacy?I feel for you but you deserve it. To imply it's the same as a traffic stop,suggest voluntarily registering firearms,using a cliche "if it get one gun off the street" all succeeded in sealing not only your fate but also your reputation on this forum....Yeah yeah, you really don't give a damn what anyone thinks....I get that but the thing is, you really do, we all do to some degree.

Don't quite know how to break it to you but just about all American based carriers are the same.All major hub flights are overbooked in order to insure that a flight leaves with no seats unoccupied and the carriers are flying with just enough fuel to get to their destination that even a chance of a weather delay will jeopardize that flight. Not to mention the congestion to the point that if someone sneezes in Des Moines we feel the spray in Newark. My wife and I fly quite a bit and have close to 800k miles with American carriers that we either can"t or won"t use due to restrictions,terrible service,punishing fees and a general FU attitude by management and staff. When possible we fly Asian carriers who may be a bit more expensive and not have the best routes but offer newer planes,superior service,on time commitments and genuinely treat their passengers with respect. I also find it easier to just drive if the trip is less than 500 miles one way.

....remind me not to mess with you....

I may be totally out of line here but I sounds to me that you tried a Glock 26 and bought a Glock19.

When I moved from East Brunswick to Monroe my FID was exactly 7 months old and I had purchased 2 firearms. When I inquired about changing my address and applying for 3 more PPP's, the first thing that was asked was had I purchased a firearm within the last year before the attendant realized that I had to be reprinted for the address change.These questions would lead me to believe that Monroe requires reprinting every year, Now whether or not it comes with the stipulation that PPP's had to be applied for and used remains to be seen.There are no such stipulations on the Police Dept's website but so is little else.

What does the laws state? if you don't mind. I believe I'm going to be in the same position in Monroe Township.

Okay thanks...I'm a little crestfallen, I thought I rediscovered Machu Pichu but it just ended up being a Lima bazaar.......

I thought so too, that's why I cleaned them out... It took some time to find an associate to open the cage because half of Quebec was shopping there also.So basically I just happened to stumble onto a good sale and maybe shouldn't go too far out of my way to buy ammo at Walmart?
