followup to Bedside thread that drifted a bit...
Just curious for the purpose of the discussion..when you say ND do you mean an ND caused by your own self , or by someone else like a minor who gets their hands on a readied weapon?

followup to Bedside thread that drifted a bit...
I totally agree about the training.I was nervous the guns when I first started out. It was in the safe with no mag with a loaded mag next to it. Now the way I keep things is the way I trained. Ready to be used , and I practice operating the safe(s) often. If you use a biometric safe and you are allowed 120 different fingerprints , pick a finger on each hand and scan it 60 times so you have all angles covered . And keep the biometric finger pad very clean. I also CC in my house when I am home alone . Concealed because I don't want my kids to see it. I would not have had the confidence to do that when I started out , but several courses and one on one training with GFH , plus having fun at USPSA and IDPA has me confident and familiar with safely drawing and only firing when I intend to fire. Train , train , then train some more

Only when it comes to carrying the baby lol He can haul the 2 older ones around by one arm if he had too..but the 12 month old little moose is a 26 pound cinderblock that needs to be carried from time to time still. Can't wait until he is walking around , he kills my back. I was laughing when someone asked me if I was going to be able to carry my shotgun around for a 4 hour course. Yeah , the baby I have to carry around all day is 4 times its weight lol

Coming soon, Kearny
I would pay to join a private range right in Kearny . I grew up there and live in North Arlington now. I would probably still join an outdoor range too though . 400 for one year to belong to a club is not awful.33 bucks a month is really not that bad especially if they do it up nicely. No way to sugar coat this , but Kearny has a rough crowd living there. I can understand why they would want to make sure someone is not a prohibited person and the easiest way to do that is to ask to see their current FID card. I know there are ranges in much rougher neighborhoods that manage , but there is just SOMETHING about Kearny. Always has been. I had my share of scares growing up there. The kids are just extra mischievous too for some reason lol

USPSA 1911 .45 Limited Mags?
I learned that the hard way at the IDPA match. The RO pointed to my protruding 10 round .45 single stack mag with its aesthetically pleasing rubber boot on my 1911 and said " what is that??" . I thought it was a safety/knowledge orientated pop quiz and promptly and smartly answered " it is a magazine". You kind of had to be there....

And that was what I was talking about. He ripped down our stairs and tore his rotator cuff because the sole was hanging off his slipper. But I did not mess with his slipper..swear .........

I ripped the sole half the way off his slipper , so that when he went down the stairs he would fall and tear his rotator cuff. Wait..does Pete read this section? Because I hated those slippers and ripped the sole hoping he would chuck them. So I hope he does not read this

put in for more permits today, the wait begins
and , what will you get with your permits???

put in for more permits today, the wait begins
That is what Pete does. My PD is real good about extensions too. Bring in , Chief signs. I only applied for 3 this last time because I am a girl which means if I have 3 permits I MUST buy 3 guns.. if I got 8 permits ...I would have to get exemptions , then Pete would file .

Thanks!! It is so nice , I took a really good inspection when I got home and it is like new. Very happy with it! Thanks! Range trip tomorrow! Pete's in a sling , but it is good to work on strong hand shooting

first time buy regret
If finances allow , keep it and get the Glock you want In any event you need another permit..so unless you need the $$ from selling your existing gun to fund a new one , IMO just let your collection start..the first gun may grow on you. I bought a .45 acp 1911 as my first gun. I like it way more now than I did when I first shot it Are you having issues with the gun you have now?

Gloves for the range?
I'll give you that Pete complained a bluestreak about my J frame lol Yeah , I know. I bet a guy in my brazilian jiu jitsu class about whether or not you can make a left over a single set of double yellow lines ..he lost the bet and was supposed to wear my pink Kyra Gracie rash guard shorts to class for a week. He welched >:/

Gloves for the range?
