So yeah I've got the itch to buy one or the other. Im not sure if I want to go through the BS of trying to get another permit or not already or if I just wanna say screw it and grab a 15 22. Anyone have experience with each and could direct me in what they had more fun with? Im looking at maybe an XD-9, CZ, Ruger LCR, or even an entry level 1911 if I were to go handgun. Im also new to the whole AR clone thing if anyone has any other suggestions in that department.

Where/how would I/we obtain COE?

Okay so Im debating selling my Benelli Supernova 12 gauge (my first gun but im not a fan of the looong barrel version I have, plus I dont really hunt anymore and my interests have shifted more towards range shooting and pistols) and using the money to save for my next handgun purchase or maybe a S&W M%P 15 22lr. Anyways, Im concerned in how to legally go about selling and transferring ownership of my firearms. Is there a special process to make sure that the state or fed recognize the transfer? Is it more worth it to just trade the shotgun to an FFL to cover my a$s? Thanks guys, Kev

4 permits? is that even possible to do without getting an extension on one of the permits? Im thinking you buy your first gun day 1, 2nd on day 31, 3rd on day 61, 4th??? Jus looking for some eduction on the subject.

+1 on this

Oh crap ... I love shoreshot and now that I bought my first gun there I'll always have a soft sport for em

Grats to the both of you, and tell your son THANK YOU!!! You obviously did a great job and should be proud.

Wait glocks go kaboom?!?!!

Thanks guys, Im happy with how things were handled and I'll make sure to follow up and make sure there arent any issues with the child in the future. However at this point im past all the anger and rage and more focused on getting my baby healthy and back out on the playground asap so she can enjoy her summer the best she can. Thanks everyone for your concern/support, Kev

And to anyone calling my wife irresponsible you guys can bite me, we had two adults there for my two children and they lost sight of the kids for a moment its called life, anyone whos ever had children knows its impossible to watch and monitor what is going on at a playground 24/7. Yeah hind sight is 20/20 and if we could all see into the future there would never be things called an accidents or a mistakes in this world. Ill admit my first response was to get pissed and try and blame them as well but everyone is human and I know my wife would NEVER have ignored a situation she really thought was dangerous for our children.

Agreed, except I cant prove it was done with bad intentions or if it was just wrestling around that got out of control. This is what annoys me as I wish my Wife and her Father were watching what happened but the incident occurred on the other side of the playground from where they were sitting so they just happened to not be able to see the actual incident. It sucks but hey the kid and the kids parents came over tonight bearing gifts and an apology. They also offered to pay any copays or anything that we may have needed. They handled it well ... but do I know if they punished their kid to the extent I would if the role was reversed? No of course not ... especially since her kid is saying they were wrestling and he fell on her and his friends are saying the same thing. The parents very well could have been like not our kid go screw yourself ... but right now I'd like to believe some people can still handle things like adults.

Well ... we went through the school because we only had a first name his sisters name and the grade he was in. The principal helped us in getting in touch with the child's parents and they both seemed to be very sincere and concerned about my daughter and the situation. Im not a firm believer in everything in the idea that some people have about everything needing to result in a lawsuit .. it really doesnt need to. At this point the kid and his parent will be coming to our house tonight and were gonna discuss things and im pretty sure this wont go unaddressed. Were going to make sure my daughter feels as though she wasnt just hurt and nobody did anything about it ... we will address this and thats my main concern is my daughter knowing this isnt exceptable and for the kid to learn that as well. However I still think we can achieve this by meeting with the parents and NOT have to go to the police.

see being a gun owner is actually helping me to keep myself out of trouble because I dont want to lose my guns!!! But that being said my Daughters > than my guns sooooooooo should I bust in on the parents like .... Are you feeling lucky? ... Punk?

Yeah I'm pretty sure your right. I dont want to crucify the kid as I've screwed up a bit in m life and feel like kids shouldnt be labeled and treated like their screwed up at such a young age. I guess its all in the hands of the other kids parents ... I guess I'm going to try and keep my temper i check as I dont want to lose my rights to own guns

Yeah were not really into suing anybody over the incident BUT we also wanna make sure it doesnt go unaddressed ya know? Besides suing for medical??? Insurance covered it so what am i gonna sue for time spent in the ER? lol but seriously a lawsuit isnt really my style. I personally just think the little **** shouldnt be able to take part in the field day either since he screwed my daughter out of it PLUS he should have to write her an apology and some dumb **** that will humble him and make my daughter feel better. Im not about screwing a kids life up but I'm all about fairness.

So yeah I'm at work and the wife calls and all I hear is my daughter crying. Apparently they (both of my daughters oldest is 7, youngest is 5) were at the playground at their school tonight and they were playing with a few kids. Apparently the youngest came over and complained about a kid being mean and my wife suggested she just stay away from him. Anyways, at some point the kid decided to shove my youngest and then at another point grabbed my oldest picked her up and slammed her on the ground breaking her arm high up near the shoulder area. Dr. said no cast but that she is in a sling and shes not allowed to move it because its a clean break but if it were to shift out of alignment then shell have to have surgey. WTF!!!! The kid who did it immediately ran home when he did it and my wife wasnt even sure which kid it was but we have a name. Hes also 8 and much bigger than my daughters ... so were planning on going to the school (because he does go there as well) and complaining and raising a little hell but not sure if its worth going and filing a police report about. It sucks cause now shes missing out on "fun day" at school(aka field day ... kinda), not to mention her B-day is June 5th and now shes screwed out of riding the new bike we bought her and all sorts of crap. I can only hope it doesnt screw her out of her whole summer. I guess I should just be glad I was at work when it happened, so please talk some sense into me and tell me what you guys would do in this situation.

Thanks guys, I guess the problem is that with my martial arts background I've always been more used to shooting using a weaver stance because it feels more natural to me. I will try and get used to shooting using a isosceles stance and see if that helps ... I really feel less strain on my eye shooting lefty now that I have become comfortable finding the sights with my left eye.

Ok so I used the search function but didnt quite find what I was looking for. I am Right handed and left eye dominant, my whole experience of shooting long guns I've always shouldered them on my right shoulder and closed my left eye (which im comfortable with and will probably continue to do). However being new to handguns I have decided to try and train myself to shoot left handed in order to be able to keep both eyes open and not have to tilt my head over my right arm. So far so good my left eye falls in line with the sights pretty easily ... theres only two issues. #1 my stance, after years of martial arts I have been trained to keep my left foot forward. While shooting at shoreshot Phil was telling me to put my right foot forward. This just doesnt feel natural at all to me. Is stance more important then which hand I hold the gun in should I just switch back to my right hand in order to have a more natural stance? #2 I notice another habit or natural reaction of mine is to always reach to pick my gun with my right hand first .... my only concern with this is if I were to have to use my gun in a self defense situation (God forbid it would ever come to that, and yes I'm aware the odds of it happening are very slim) I fear I would grab the gun in my right hand out of reaction and be shooting from a who new angle/stance because I have been training around my eye dominance. has anyone else ran into similar issues and which do you feel is more important ... hand/eye alignment or stance?

Ok cool ... I ll look into the upgrades that Wastegate suggested and pay off my CC then apply for my next PP cause i want that SR1911!!

Well atleast that is good to know ... kinda pissed I scratched it but its not horrible and its only inside the ejection port from a snapcap getting sandwiched in there so I mean its not unbearable. Maybe I'll save the money and look towards other upgrades or my next gun

well its my first gun ... lol I want it to look nice for a long time lol just saying.

So yes I only had the gun for a few days and I already have a scratch on the ejection port because of a snapcap getting lodged (probably because I didnt rack the slide hard enough). Regardless, I have always been a fan of bi-tone guns and was wondering if there was anybody in the area that would be able to apply a teflon (or any other sort of finish) to my guns slide in order to customize it. So any tips/pointers?

thanks guys

Just curious as I know the laws in the state are very strict regarding hollow points. So if I was to order a box of either frangibles or Soft points should I treat them as if they were JHP and only transport them directly from house to range and vice versa?

Being as Im a first time handgun owner I have no complaints at all about the trigger, nor do I have too much to compare it to. I will probably do the trigger upgrade in time but I by no means look at it as a necessity. I actually preferred the trigger over that of the XD and the CZ when I compared the 3 ... but its all subjective. I also am notorious for going back and forth on my stance between two items ... each time I left a shop I changed my mind about which gun I wanted. Even now I cant make up my mind about which palm swell I prefer medium or large lol. My point is I cant really say in all honesty that I prefer the M&P's trigger less or more than any other gun ... but that I bought it mostly because it just felt the best in my hand when I decided I was ready to buy.
