Who goes out on Black Friday?
you couldnt pay me to shop on black friday. have never gone out, will never go out. no way, no how. there is nothing i need or want that badly to take my life into my hands by dealing with the psychopaths out that day. Either that or I'd end up in jail for elbowing someone in the face who tried to grab something out my hands..

hot water heater problem
Thread has turned into an abomination. OP is clearly not interested in doing this kind of work himself.. Not sure why people insist on telling the OP to do the work himself or bashing plumbers, as they provide a service to many who aren't comfortable doing this kind of work themselves (myself being one of them).. like with any other profession, there are bad ones and good ones.. i've hired both.. but when you get a good one, you stick with them.. (same thing for electricians, HVAC, etc, etc)

hot water heater problem
I think some may be over-thinking this.. There is no repair at this point. Once it leaks like that, its done. Its leaking from the top and dribbling down. I LITERALLY just had this happen this past year.. Granted, mine was much older (think ti was about 15-16 years old, which is a VERY long life span for an electric water heater). Had it replaced by Lowes (including the install). Luckily it was covered by my home warranty (contrary to what some think, a home warranty comes in REAL handy sometimes). Mine leaked from the top, and leaked down on to the thermostat wiring and it almost caused a fire (i was taking a shower, say the lights flicker and could SMELL the burning from the bathroom upstairs).. See pic below..

How many magazines?
i have 4 for my CZ75.. 3 for my M&P22 (would buy more, but im not paying $45 for a 22 magazine) and 6 for my 15-22.. but i would think 3-4 is a good place to be and then just look for deals after that... 3-4 gets you started.. if i could find the 10rd CZ mags for less than $25, i would get get a few more..

How is Brick Armory?
I like BA as a range.. they are never that busy, i have never had to wait for a lane and i have not had a bad experience with their employees. They did have some trouble previously with their lanes being broken, but that seemed to get resolved. I have no knowledge of their rentals since I did not rent anything from them, and while they did have astronomically high ammo prices a few months back (during the shortage), I THINK the prices have come down a bit (still high comparatively, maybe $30 per box for 9mm, but dont quote me on that since i've never bought ammo from them). I would also not purchase a gun from them since I have a good relationship with my FFL (Steve/remixer/Monmouth Arms) so I have no need to use them for transfers. The range itself is nice than SS IMO.. More space, they have a nice BIG bench in the back to put your stuff and it seems less cramped and cleaner. Many have said that there are a lot of newbs who shoot there (and there are) so you have to be careful because many dont know the real rules of shooting yet (i.e. muzzle sweeps, etc), but I have yet to really notice much of it.. Helps that when I go, there are normally only a few people there..

New Ruger .22 is really stiff..
its always good to break down a gun when you get it, clean it, oil it and put it back together if for no other reason than to familiarize yourself with the workings of the gun. i have broken down each one on mine when i got them so i knew how everything worked. It also helps you if you take it to the range and have a malfunction, you will know how to strip it if necessary and fix/clear the malfunction. just my 2¢ as for it being stiff out of the box, not surprising.

Bought my first gun!!
GunBot is your friend... http://www.gunbot.net/ammo/pistol/ Congrats on your new baby.. Little tip about online retailers.. Places like Midway, Palmetto State Armory, Natchez SS, etc., require a digital copy of your FID before they will fulfill your order.. Scan that puppy and call Customer Service at each of those places and confirm with them how to send to them (email attachment to a customer service email address is usually the way to go).. This way, you dont have to futz around during checkout and possibly lose the order from lack of stock.. (sometimes it goes fast)

Lend gun to my son - is it ok?
I think you've got the answer you were looking for.. Quick, simple.. "No"... Just like I can't take my wife's gun with me to the range by myself (she has to be with me)
