i still have a chance with my prediction of 5 games.. that said, St Louis takes game 2 in their series.. up 2-0.. awwww yeahhhhh

12:04.. gone

i cant stand boston..

....................and there's me with my foot in my mouth.. Detroit takes game 1..

how local? Howell Gun Works can install it for you.. they dont charge much either.. they may take a week or 2, but they charged me $25 to install trijicons on my CZ.. yours may be a bit more (or not).. you should call there and find out.. im guessing if you were willing to go to Shore Shot, HGW is the same distance from you

yeah, but it was a lockout-shortened season, and a different detroit team.. plus, i cannot underline enough, Zetterberg isnt playing.. just my opinion

eh, Bruins are gonna wipe the ice with them methinks.. thats going to go 5 games maybe.. Wings just arent that good this year, got lucky to even make the playoffs.. and Zetterberg (& Ericsson) are out for first round..

Triple OT.. Blues take game 1.. yeah booooyyyyyyyy

Not quite sure I get your point here.. I'm not a devils fan by any means but what work do they need to put in? To be fair they've won as many Stanley cups as both the rangers & flyers combined post WW2... (?)

hmm.. $725 for a P30? damn

this..

i do not recall doing this as a new customer a decade ago when we moved into our house.. must be something fairly new (maybe since the crash?)

first off.. wow.. sweet looking gun... but the question i have is, why did you change out the grips? i kinda liked the ones it came with better.. (personal preference only).. just curious why you yourself changed them.. asthetics? better grip?

well, i am a fan of the Blues for the past 25+ years.. and we're finally good again (even if we limped into the playoffs) GO BLUES!

well.......... it may be that vmastro doesnt have the credit rating/history that the ex wife does/did.. (and vmastro, i do not know your situation, this just a "maybe" thought i had)... that said, i use JCP&L, so i'm of no real help to you...

Georgia Arms? interesting.. I called them when I placed my order to ask how to upload or send my FID to them, and the woman told me it wasnt needed. This was about 2 months ago... that said, most other placed have my FID on file (as long as ive ordered from them, including FM, ASW, Cabelas, Midway, etc)

technical meaning a store could still require it if THEY choose to.. not by law..

Lying, yeah, i agree that would turn me right off.. if they say up front its a store policy, you can either deal with it or not.. but dont say its a law..

it may be.. but its their business.. maybe they feel a bit more "covered" by only allowing people with FID's.. But in this day & age and the scrutiny the entire industry faces, maybe they are just CYA'ing.. I fully get your point.. and when i was just starting out, I would have probably felt annoyed if i couldnt look at a gun because i didnt have one. Maybe since I have one, it doesnt seem like as big a deal to me now. and RE: ammo, OK, sorry, I thought we were talking about handguns.. true, you don't "technically" need it to buy SG or rifle ammo...

Since my last image doesnt post anymore, below is ours.. S&W 640 .38spl (full stainless, not the air weight model)..

I can see LGS's doing this more than, say, an FFL or a public range that also offers gun sales. (although, not all ranges that sell guns will allow you to handle randomly).. Fact is, not all people that go into an LGS are gun owners or even shooters, so the chances of someone that has absolutely no knowledge of firearms are greater. If someone who is a "gun person" is in that same store and is at the counter talking to someone, and a "noob" (for lack of better word) starts looking at guns and decides that they want to flail the thing around cuz they dont know proper gun safety etiquette (i.e. sweeping, etc), that gun person is going to get REALLY mad (well, annoyed at least) at that noob for doing so.. Someone with an FID is more likely to know how to properly handle a gun (now, note that i didnt say "is definitely") and thus will keep it pointed in the proper direction, etc. A range employee will also be more likely to point out how to properly handle a gun to someone who has no knowledge than a random LGS employee (again, a generalization, but you get the idea). I dont necessarily have a problem with a store requiring an FID to handle guns. It's their right to do so, as its their business to run. Will they lose a few customers because of it? Yeah, probably.. However, if they push it further than that and require a P2P in order to handle a handgun, then I have a bigger problem with that. Given the length of time its taking to get the P2P these days, if I went into a LGS and wanted to look at a pistol and they said no because I didnt have a P2P in hand, I would tell them to f*ck off and would never go back in there. At the end of the day, as everyone else has said, its not a law, but typically a store policy. More protection for themselves I guess. Whether or not you choose to go to a store like that is 100% your decision. For someone just starting out, its not ideal.. However, considering you need to have an FID to buy ammo within the state, having an FID to actually handle a gun doesn't seem like quite as big a deal (to me). Others obviously feel different.

those stats are bullsh*t and we all know it.. there are a record number of new gun owners.. there's a reason towns are taking 3-6 months to get permits... i would say 30-40% of all shooters are less than 1 year into it.. (these are guesses, mind you).. media spinning to what they want to show, thats all...

NOOOOO.. God I hate hearing this shit.. sorry to hear it man...

dont answer cell phone calls from numbers that start with 704.. lol..
