Thanks to everyone who is sharing their real life world experience in this process. Very much appreciated.

Wow, almost 10 years since this thread. I haven't shot a USPSA event...man, I can't remember the last USPSA event I shot, it's been that long ago.

For those in District 13, know that Amy Handlin voted YES to all 6 of the bills on March 26, 2018. She had voted no on the similar magazine bill in 2014, so something caused her to no longer support us on this. Remember this in November.

My gun is built with a 1:7 twist.

Just finished my AR build and am trying to select ammo. Will be shooting off the shelf stuff to start and if this sticks, which it likely will, I'll handload on my 650. But for the time being we are talking about off the shelf ammo. The internet in its infinite wisdom tells me that 62 grain projectiles are preferred in a 1:7 twist barrel. Since I'm going to be shooting a combination of paper and steel, I don't want the green tipped XM or M855 stuff, because that's no bueno with steel, right? So, for the sake of simplicity, I want to go with XM or M193, right? I've have some federal XM193 BAll and American Eagle XM193, both 55 grain, in my safe left over from some 3 gun matches I shot with a borrowed gun. Can't seem to find 5.56 ammo with 62 grain projectile that isn't XM855. So brain trust, for the beginner shooting who is going to be plinking some steel and paper and the occasional 3 gun event, the XM193 55 grain stuff is fine, yes? hashtag ocd

Squad 4 with Howard, Jason, Jimmy, and Tom...among others who's names I've forgotten. Great squad.

Was able to make todays match at CJ and had a great time, again. Forgotten how much I enjoyed these events. We were done and in the car by 1pm, which is outstanding for a 7 stage match. Great squad.

Registered but now not sure if I can make it. Golden child was just invited to a baseball tournament. Happy Birthday Golf Battery. It's our oldests bday too. 20. My god, where did the time go?

Dammit, Howard, I wish I knew you were there. I've got photo's on my phone of the bald eagle that's been in the back yard, He was just shy the day you came by.

Amen to that. Big ups to Steve, Paul and Rich, and the other's who are helping to keep this match going. Today was a lot of fun. Can't believe it's been as long as it's been since I've shot USPSA. Glad I came out.

I'm not a member of Old Bridge, but have shot events there, and based on my experience offer a positive recommendation. Its a whole different experience shooting in the private pits. The sanctioned club type events are really well run and lot of fun.

Finally got out for a practice session over the weekend. Really hope to make this match.

Current, and favorite....2013 Mercedes S550. Amazing car. Worst, 93 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Uncomfortable, underpowered. Ugh.

Miss you guys. : (

I just went thought this exact scenario with the exact same firearm. In our case, the gun was delivered to a local FFL who took possession and logged it into his "assault rifle" book, which I'm told also requires notification to the either the local PD or state PD. The PD contacted the owner of the gun for an explanation as to why he had it in his possession. He didn't realize it had been named on the ban list in the 90's. The FFL sold the gun on an auction and shipped it out of state...to one of the Carolina's if I'm not mistaken. Net sale proceeds were around $700 but no legal issues and a big relief to be done with it.

Sorry Steve, hosting my in laws 50th anniversary party at my house that day. I WILL be there for October!

Yeah, shooting events is supposed to be fun. In this heat is more like punishment.

Mine wet brass goes from the tumber to the sorter to a towel and then to a cardboard box, like used for a case of cans of soda, and that sits in front of a fan. Dry in a few hours.

I need to get howard in my back yard. We've got a pair of bald eagles that visit on a regular basis and all I can capture are crappy cel phone photos.

Sorry, but my fellow gun owners don't get a pass in breaking the law simply because they are fellow guns owners. I don't like the CCW law in NJ and how its jammed up people like this man, or the other lady, coincidentally who was also from PA. If you are going to assume the responsibility of carrying concealed into another state, you have the burden of responsibility of knowing the laws in that state. We talk about it here all the time in example of range visits or travel plans. It's not that hard to figure out whether or not your CCW is recognized by other states. In this case, i'm going out on a limb and saying that this guy knew his wasn't, otherwise, he would have had the gun on him, concealed. In stead it was under his front seat? Why? My opinion, he knew he wasn't allowed to have it and stored it there while in AC or ditched it quickly when he got pulled over.

Yes.

I agree with him, and I thought that S. Allen should have been prosecuted. I'm not upset she wasn't, but I'd have had no problem if she was. Part of being a responsible gun owner is knowing the laws, and if you are a CCW holder, then you'd better know the laws of the states where you are traveling or visiting.

That's what you want...ice cold coming into warm. I have a friend who's done it. Very cool. Also very time consuming. But way cool.

This sounds (reads) almost verbatim to another "story" posted here just a few months ago, it seems. That one turned out to be BS and I suspect this one will as well.

To the OP, have you considered small chunks of money rather than large? When I bought out my original business, I went to everyone I knew to raise the cash, and wound up offering a generous rate of interest on a small loan (5K) paid over 5 years. The interest was better than what the banks were paying and the investment was fairly low risk. It worked for me.
