My point is that expungement seals the conviction. You don't have a conviction to expunge.

If you don't have a conviction, there is no criminal record to be expunged. An expungement seals a previous criminal conviction. The conviction would not be generally available, but it may still be viewable to those that matter in this case, such as police. You really have nothing to expunge in this case. Regardless, this record should not disqualify you for the FPID and you have every right to apply for it.

I just picked up some items from JWGlock23 and it was a great and easy experience. He started with the right price, so no need to haggle. He represented the condition of used items accurately. And he met me in a location convenient for both of us and stuck around to go over the items and some general chit chat. All around, an easy friendly experience. Thank you sir.

PM'd

Yep, it seemed a bit off when I wrote it. New Holland is much more Dutch.

Bah... I tossed that classifier, no way i'm going to immortalize my ESP novice classification (and it hasn't been signed on my card yet.) It makes me a little sad inside. I sent my CDP marksman classifier info from last April in New Hope, PA. They signed my card right after the match.

Awesome. I had made a date to get finger printed and notarized at GFH, then realized I couldn't find my certificate from a Basic Pistol class I took a few years back. I was thinking of submitting my IDPA information when this thread started. So, fingerprints done, application notarized, a nice passport size photo, a photocopy of front and back of my IDPA card with classification and match director signature and the classifier scoresheet, and a check for the fees... in the mail this morning. I expect, from what I've read on Florida turnaround times, I might see my license before the 4th of July. Thanks for making that call Lesniewv.

PM sent for tumbler, scale and calipers

No, Tom made an announcement for this classifier during last month's match at Scfgpa. He said there is no pre-registration, just show up.

I see a couple maybes. Anybody in for a sunny day of busting clays?

I choke every time I see a new thread about how liberals are anti-gun. I am a rabid liberal and love my firearms. So long as the politicians and lobbyists continue to think that being liberal and being conservative determine how you feel about guns, we'll never make any real progress in bringing understanding to the people that just don't have the experience, aside from media and movies, to decide how they feel about guns. When I'm shooting, I dont talk politics. You should be happy to have one more thing to talk with her about and leave the political divide out of it.

New thread started! M&M looks promising.

I'm voting for M&M for the next Sporting Clays Meet-up. Second Saturday in May? May 12th. No guns larger than a 12-gauge. No shot permitted larger than low brass 7 1/2. I'll keep the list this time, so who's in? Who wants to be in but needs to negotiate the date? M4BGringo, maybe you can suggest the lunch spot? http://www.mmhunting...rting-clay-fees

I always assumed that a wife is the legal heir as next of kin. But, it is a little more complicated: From: http://www.citizensi...nheritance.html

Like it says on the slide, it is an F. Dusek "DUO" Semi-Auto pistol. Made in Opotschno, Czechoslovakia 6.35mm is 25 ACP. The round is available but not as cheap as you would think.

If she is your legal heir, they will be hers. Teach her to enjoy them.

Really, for a first offense that was dropped and he's stayed out of trouble since... I'd expect they will chalk it up to a youthful indiscretion and it won't affect his approval. I'm sure they've seen worse.

Mallard's summer shooting times are Wednesdays and Sundays though there may be a Saturday event here and there. Check their site and stop in. They're very friendly and do a great job getting new shooters squared away and into the game. http://www.mallardtrapclub.org/welcome-to-the-mallard-trap-club-home-page/club-information

Why not shoot Tom an email directly?

Keep that to yourself... You'll confuse the strippers.

Nick, if your PX4 is a model F, how do you treat the safety? I know some guys flick it off after holstering and draw in DA. Is that standard and acceptable or do you need to keep the safety on until you draw?

You don't think it'd be quicker to take the DA shot?

Not my galco. You might take a look at falco gun holsters. I think most of their holsters are made for a 2 inch belt. (Do yourself a favor and check out the site either way, there's a sweet header right now. )
