Just thought I'd share I got my hunting license today at Clinton wma. I only did firearms not bow. The instructors were great over 100 people showed up. Just personal experience bringing your own firearm was not a big deal at all. Instructors did a very quick check and they were off shooting. Often the slower part was people getting ready and fiddling with the unfamiliar controls. They provided nice semi auto 20 gaged. A lot if fun overall and more family friendly then I would have thought.

Sorry for being optimistic guys. My fault, what a faux pas on my part . And it does matter , it could be every gun. I will sum it up this way, if anyone knows where to send the check to get rid of this law let me know, I send a big one.

Really, please quote my post and tell me where I am backtracking. My original point was I thought it was all firearms. I am not so sure what you are so offended at either. I think I have been fairly polite, and I was the one who was insulted for posting a response that you later decided you didn't like. Not sure why I am piece of work , you know nothing of me sir, and clearly did not bother to read any of my posts. So I challenge you please highlight my offensive words that so hurt you.

Sir if you can't be bothered to read my post, don't respond at all then. I never realized there were so many illiterate gun owners on here. Regardless again I don't think this is a good law at all. But this was passed 12 years ago, so I can only rejoice in the fact it's not more sweeping to include all firearms. Now please would you all stop harping on my choice of words it's sad and ridiculous.

If you read my post you would clearly see I was under the impression it was all firearms, not just handguns. Let me clarify again I thought it was all firearms. And no I don't just care about my deer gun, I do not deer hunt. I have to say being insulting is not a good way to respond to people who are on your side. I don't think this is a good law either so calm down.

Thank you! The good news is it only applies to handguns, I though it was all fire arms.

Can you point me to the law I can't seem to locate it myself. Thanks. Will

Does any one have the text of the actual law? I would like to read it for myself. Thanks. Will

Can't find it on the website, did this get taken down? Will

The survival podcast with jack spirko. He talks about everything from permaculture to guns to politics. Excellent podcast.

Steve Harris discussed this on the Survival podcast. I forget exactly his explaination but in the end its not going to happen and anything you try to protect is pointless anyway. I dont recall the eposide but it was really a good explaination.

What brand?

To celebrate, I think I will finally buy that AR15 I have been looking for! Maybe a pistol as well, and a shotgun too.

Glad to know I am not the only one that feels that way! Bill

Thanks for all the ideas, i think i will probably get mine laminated "professionally" to keep it in good shape. I definitely dont ever want to have to get a new one cause this one wore out. Now with that solved, I just need to actually get to the range one of these days!! Bill

What does everybody do for keeping there FID cards pristine? I put mine in my wallet a few times and its edges are bent already. Some say to laminate others say you should not laminate. Also does everybody carry their cards around all the time or just when you are going to the range or buying stuff? Thanks. Bill

Pics and price? Will

Hello Everyone! I just want to introduce myself. I recently applied for my firearms id card because I wanted to get into simple target shooting and have a home defense capability. All my paperwork is in and now I am just waiting on the call. I have looked at a good number of guns and I have somewhat narrowed my search down. Initially I wanted an "AR15" style rifle however due to the recent events these have become too hard to acquire. I also applied for my pistol permit so I will probably wind up getting either a Sig or a revolver of some type. I am currently trying to find a good gun safe and a good range to go to so if any one has any suggestions I would like to hear them. I so far have been very impressed with the site and the extremely passionate and knowledgeable people. Thanks. Frank
