I'm not aware of any rule prohibiting their use, but from my point of view, from a safety aspect, I'd personally avoid them.

I'm disappointed, but not. I feel like crap and it would have sucked to shoot tomorrow. I would have needed a hug, or some gentle spooning.

I haven't met a gun owner yet who isn't in favor of safety, and none of us want the tool (for lack of a better term) of our sport used in evil. Our entire sport revolves around safety. If I can get him to realize none of these measures make us safer and in fact that there are already laws in place that deal with the concerns, I'll have done my job. They are concerned about 6,000 round ammo purchases? Ask they why they are concerned and whether or not they know how much 6,000 rounds of ammo weighs. How does preventing or restricting someone from buying 6,000 rounds make us safer? It doesn't.

I plan on calling to speak with him next week, once this cold and head congestion abate and I can form a cohesive thought. Basically, my only real purpose is to have him to explain to me how any one of these proposed bills make us safer. We all want safety, and to be safer, right?

I know you are just talking out loud, but when you speak with him please do not concede this point, even in passing. They aren't going to "give" us CCW...it's going to have to be taken, by litigation, as was done in Illinois. Settleing on 10 round magazines is giving up ground we don't need to give up, nor should we.

Our status has gone from committed to possible. I can't shake this cold. Normally, 3 days and I'm good. Going on 5 and I still want to claw my eyes out of my skull they are so itchy, and if I sneeze one more time I might have to choke a ****. I can't take it. Sucks too, I prepped a loaf of lard bread for your bastages for tomorrow.

That can be accomplished in school, or with the Eddie the Eagle program, scouts, or something similar. I have no problem with a range requiring a basic safety course as a condition of membership or before you can buy tunnel time. I do NOT want the government specifiying what type of education is necessary before buying a firearm. I'd be willing to discuss some form of education as a requirement for CCW.

I challanged mine a few years ago. I used the online public data system for recent sales and then a realtor friend helped me by providing me the listings of those homes so that I had more data about the house. I was very prepared when I went to the board and crushed the trial...so much so that people actually followed me out into the hallway to tell me how well I did. I actually trapped the towns appraiser and even got the "judge" for lack of a better term to smirk. I got the letter a week later telling my I was denied. I appealed, and went to Trenton. My first date was ajourned because the judge was sick. The second hearing the judge and town attorney were surprised I was doing this on my own and suggested that I hire a professional. By the time the 3rd hearing came the town attorney called my house to discuss. He told me I was going to lose because I didn't have a professional, and he offered a very small concession. I told him no. He told me the judge is going to rule in our favor (the town) and isn't going to allow for any more continuances. I told him no. The day before the trial I faxed a very humble letter to to judge, falling on my sword for procrastinating, and asking for more time to hire a pro. She granted it. I didn't call the town attorney, wanting him to cringe when he got to court. The following day he called me again, this time having to eat crow because I had successfully gotten a continuance, something he said wouldn't happen. We negotiated and I got a little less than half of what I was looking for in concession. I offered to split it down the middle and we wound up settleing for something like 60/40. I enjoyed the process, but truth be told, I think you are better served with the combo of the engineer and lawyer. A judge friend of mine commented that when you go in with licensed professionals their word is taken automatically as fact, whereas my comments were opinions.

Isn't it cute? But can you blame him, I mean, Alec is....dreamy.

Nothing. Not a damn thing. There isn't anything proposed that is going to make any one of us, or anyone else safer. The only option is to tell them to scrape the whole damn thing and start over. Let them focus on enforcing the laws on the books. Mandatory sentences would be a good start.

We're only shooting 1 gun each...going to leave the rifles at home. I can't justify spending $80.00 to shoot steel.

Large midway bag that holds just about everything, including ammo, necessary for 2 shooters. I transport the pistols (2 or 3) in the pouches that come with the range bag, but locked in an old hard sided samsonite briefcase. When we get to the range I can unlock the case and put the pouches with the gun in the range bag and then holster up at the safe table. I prefer to transport the guns in a locked case seperate from the ammo. I drive an SUV and just feel more comfortable doing this, even though by letter of the law it may or may not be necessary.

Are these names REALLY that hard to pronounce?

I have to say, I love being a part of the community!

"This is stupid!" Love Matt.

That woman who just spoke...I want to have her baby. She was excellent!

Did you speak early this morning?

Don't feel bad...he butchered just about everyone's name.

Max, you're being paged.

No, it means that the person who name was called is giving their support in favor of the bill and they give up their time to testify.

We must ban the 50 cal...because of its leathality......ahhhhhhh Douche.

Valentines day? How cute.

You did a great job!

Amen! That was amazing. God, I'd love to see this on TV rather than just listening in.

I heard you speak a little while ago. Kudos, it was excellent, and thank you for being there!
