When I went through this they at first thought just NICS. They made three calls to the fire arms unit at the state police and got three different answers. The majority opinion was NICS and 4473 but no P2p. One person at the unit said also P2p required. I told the FFL I had a permit that was going to expire in a week and had not plan to use it so we agreed to just use it to be sure everyone was covered. It sucks that when the group charged with enforcing these stupid laws can't decide amongst themselves what the answer really is.

Where does it say that? A repair does not require any of that, and neither does a replacement IFF it has the same serial number. If the frame has a new serial number it is considered a new and different gun and requires all the paperwork of any new purchase. Well, that is what the NJSP firearms unit decided when I got my replacement. Perhaps the People's Republic of New Jermany is different from free America yet again.

Florida CCW Info
This might be useful for anyone wanting to get a FL CCW, You CAN use your USPSA/IDPA classification as proof of firearms proficiency for a Florida concealed carry permit I saw this at http://www.waltherforums.com/ The specific post says: Did you know USPSA/IDPA classification qualifies you for a FL CCP? You CAN use your USPSA/IDPA classification as proof of firearms proficiency for a Florida concealed carry permit. The language to satisfy the training requirement reads as follows, "documentary evidence of experience with a firearm obtained through participation in organized shooting competition;" I was down in FL at the beginning of this month and took the opportunity to apply in person. I supplied them with my most recent USPSA card with a classification and a printout of my classification history from the USPSA website. I got my permit in the mail today. All I can say is that it works, so anybody looking to get a FL permit can save their money on a class and put that $ towards some ammo or gear. To be fair, the people in the office were a little thrown off, and when I asked how many people use this option they said they see 3 or 4 a year in that office. it can be found here: http://www.waltherforums.com/forum/gun-matches-shooting-competitions/38088-did-you-know-uspsa-idpa-classification-qualifies-you-fl-ccp.html

Is Somerset IDPA happening this Sunday?
Yes you can pick up brass, at both places. Doubt you will be able to do RTSP this month as it is full with four on the wait list already. You can try contacting the MD to see if there will be space - that is why I said next month.

Putting a pet/ friend down.
Sorry to hear of your loss, I've been through this too many times and I know how hard it is. Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... Author unknown...

Apple fighting the Government on creating a backdoor for phones.
This is really a funny turn of events, as it was the government that got after the technology industry to make things more secure. Perhaps if the government really wanted this information they should have thought it out a little more carefully before they gave these two rapid lead poisoning Some claim the government should be able to get this information, but I bet the framers of the Constitution would not agree. In an earlier day you would just burn the letter you received and nobody could get to it. How is a text that you received any different? We already have too much government spying on citizens with cameras all over the place and now license plate trackers and tracking by credit card usage and even worse cellphone usage. Many don't realize that they can track you via your cellphone without even getting a warrant.

Stu will give a new shooting briefing, just show up early. Be safe and have fun. Don't break the 180 or sweep yourself or anyone else and you will be fine. Probably a good (make that excellent) idea to go to idpa.com and read the rule book. It is always helpful to know the rules If you want to be crazy like me, next time shoot that during the day and sign up for USPSA at RTSP for that evening.

When my gun went to the manufacturer and was replaced it was shipped to my FFL who called me the moment it came in and I picked it up within an hour of the call.

That is very true, but I don't have anything to hide so I am not too worried. Just tried it out of curiosity. But even if a backdoor someone would both have to know what program you used and what method was used even if there was a backdoor. The one I used has five different methods and you can take the first encryption and run it through a second method and then run that through a third method and the likelihood of someone figuring it out even with a backdoor would be virtually zero. The point is government cannot keep up with smart minds with evil intent.

Apple fighting the Government on creating a backdoor for phones.
The idiots on some Senate committee are now trying to pass a law to make companies decrypt stuff. They are just proving how stupid they really are. There are many encryption programs available that terrorists or the general public can use. I just downloaded one on my phone today that does 448 bit encryption. All you do it type or paste your text into a window and enter a password and it encrypts the text. You then paste it into a text or email and send it. The person at the other end uses the same program with your password and can read it. Without that password no one would know what it was, what encryption method was used or what the password was. Further, you can multiple encrypt it so it would take years and years for the gov to decrypt it - if ever. Here is the above encrypted: df3EmX0Yqp0ydIXvXA1fZrDma66e]CxQuw2SNXctPZ0isDtIizv9JNnNJ3WtYZw5GWvPpws9bfzjpOS21zUOzY)]ct3s]WyiF7VU)iMSoaHat7MFhKRnp0eH5KJlwX51fehIMw9am71k]po5njKhhbPLTAUJo689WGRwapDOzr)tz1ECFGEvkOCxqcPVVji3iSSig5nKisY7RKGFdUeSO3vX32q3RF6IVwr8fkCvfjE2EgPLSw0L2pfqSjUoQVcUnoJIiZ6xY)zz29)A1XnrvE1RIAcoSIchUO2iJVObz]nKQbypoUQahyNJZdVZsA6]]xjx6QTzMfOL]ijbXoMZ1YdaweKwiiBjj3qrdpTo81c8n3dm9u2Zf7wlC8ttlJUAKB0Egyi6]2mCgl]5VjIkCj59oJehs1usp2rFZ72oO0sRKI75ZOiWWvLd9C4RAPwHPWnBkFuQa4Z1]o1zUWHgy05riXA)hAe)2b)bf4]EwRCO7RmjtdbI4MLR4GBiRWlXNdg5Q]UimFq]JueFHUpRMgGCK2QsP0ASeLnOJwLRZpnFLL)5ke5t7ybdpg!

Why does it matter that this is Apple or what you think of them or their management team? This is a question of what rights the government should have to force a company or person to do something? Do you really think the government should have the right to compel a company to incur expense and write code or build a product for them without compensation? That is what they are telling Apple they must do. Further, even if they can force Apple to do this it won't stop terrorists. There are currently many programs out there that will encrypt data that can be run on iPhones and Droids that would take the government years to decrypt. This is just another case of overreach by our incompetent government. We all know secrets are not safe in the hands of this government.

Apple fighting the Government on creating a backdoor for phones.
This was a terrible demand, not well thought out, by our stupid government. Think about the international repercussions to this. If our government demands this then how could we stop China, or Iran or Russia from demanding the same? Then there is the issue that even if they get away with this, there are other software products that currently can work as an overlay and do the exact same thing. There will be new software products developed to do the same. The government can't stop this stuff.
