Yes. At most places you can watch for free. Your cheapest match is probably at Somerset (IDPA) where a non-member can shoot their first match without yet joining IDPA for only $10 and that includes two slices of pizza for lunch. You have to join IDPA before you can shoot a second match, but no need to join the club.

My wife has decided she wants another Husky as Roxy is kind of depressed without Trent Does anyone have a lead where we could adopt a young one or find a puppy? Please note I only want one!!! I don't want to end up like this guy who's picture I saw on the Internet

Don't worry too much about the gear. If you need something most people will be glad to lend you stuff to get started. Read the rules, try a match or two, see what people are using and then if you want to continue (hopefully you will) go out and buy additional gear.

I need someone to take a look at my Solar PV system. I think I either have a few bad panels or just bad connections. Any one here capable of looking at it for me, or perhaps you can suggest someone. Thanks.

I am not aware of any specifics. We had two other Huskies. Kirby had cancer at ages 12 and he had surgery four times over the next several years and made it to 15. He was starting to have weakness in his rear legs and we did not want him to be in pain. We only went through all the surgery because he was such a happy and healthy dog. At age 14 one vet told us that by looking at his blood work they would have sworn he was a five year old dog if they did not otherwise know. Our other girl made it to 15 also with no specific issues, just old age.

Thanks again everyone. Just got sad news that a friend out west lost her Husky at 14 yesterday - seem like its been a bad week for Huskies

Where do you get these stickers? Where do you stick them?

If it is too quick you might ask if they will sit on them and wait till you are ready to sign and date, my town did that for me when I asked.

Thank you so much for the out pouring of support and well wishes. As I tell everyone the stereotype of gun owners could not be farther from the truth. Just about everyone I have met on this forum and at the range and at competitions are the nicest people around. Just the fact that about 50 people here were nice enough to extend their well wishes in only a dozen hours is testimony to that. THANK YOU EVERYONE! As many of you know I am a real Husky lover and Trent was our third, with our three year old Roxy being the only one still with us. Kirby and Kaybee made it to 15 years, and we knew for a while that the end would be coming. What is so hard with this is that Trent was only half their age, and we really had no warning. Up until about 10 days ago he was in perfect health as far as we were aware. We have had him on a diet since the start of the year as he had gotten up there in weight. Unfortunately we were certain his diet was working and never attributed that his weight loss might be anything but good progress - but it may have been a sign that something was wrong. He never seemed sick and was always happy. Until a week ago he would go for two mile walks everyday. Then about a week ago he got picky with eating. He went without food for two days, but Huskies sometimes do that. I went out and rather than his dry food got him canned food. He wolfed down three cans and seemed fine. Then the next day he would not touch that. The next morning, Sunday, he was so lethargic that my wife took him to a vet clinic at a small mom & pop pet store she loves. As most pet owners know, its tough to find a vet on Sunday. They examined him and ran a few tests and gave him an antibiotic. Monday he was worse so we took him to the vet's office and took blood and ran other tests. It came back positive for Lyme, but these guys have had that many times even with the vaccine that sometimes protects against it. They gave him a bunch more antibiotics and sent us home. He started to improve over the day and Monday night seemed a lot better. Tuesday when he got up he was a little shaky, By mid morning he was just laying outside and panting. We went to take him to the vet but could not even get him up. We ended up sliding a blanket under him and picked him up that way. We got there and they said they were not optimistic. They ran more tests and found his kidneys were shutting down. He stayed there getting IV's and other stuff till Thursday morning. Weds night they said it looked better and we could probably pick him up Thursday morning. When we called Thursday morning we were told we should take him to a high tech emergency vet for ultrasounds and other tests. Our regular vet has all that equipment so we took him there. They got to work right away and took x-rays, blood, and got to ultrasound going. They gave him an IV and said they would do what they could. At 3:30pm I got the call that the Ultrasound had been read and he had total Kidney failure and everything else was shutting down. They suggested that since everyone goes home at 8pm we should consider a 24hr vet so he would have constant monitoring over night. My wife was out so I told them I would call them back in an hour or so when she got home. At that point I knew what we had to do. I was glad my wife did not have her cell phone as I probably would have called. I made up my mind and when she got home we both cried a lot and decided to go and tell them to let him move on. When we got there we found that they had an oxygen mask on him and were really just trying to keep him alive so we could say goodbye. Roxy had been going crazy the last two days looking for him so I decided against my wife's protests to bring her with us. The vet told her that it was important to do this so she could see him and understand. I don't know if that is true, but she does seem better today. We sat with him for a while, and then sent him on his way. Still crying as I sit here and rehash this. Unfortunately we will never know what really happened. They said they don't think it was just Lyme and could have been Crypto something or something totally else. I guess it does not really matter at this point. Thanks again for all your support. Here is one last set of Trent pictures.

Thanks everyone. Kind of hard to discuss anymore tonight but I really do appreciate all the well wishes. Thanks so much.

Had to put down my big boy Trent (in back) today He is now reunited on the other side with Kaybee (left) and Kirby. He was only 8 and in great health until last week. Then all of a sudden he went down hill fast and had total kidney failure today. Had to let him go, a very sad day.

I don't think you can, at least I have not found a way. I think they have to send out all this crap just to pay for the postage on all the crap they send out. I just don't get why they send all this crap

No, just sharpening. It is amazing that this guy went on attacking people for 30 minutes before being taken down. Just imagine how different this would have turned out if just one teacher had a concealed handgun. As I have said before gun-free zones are just free kill zones.

NO that is not true. Just think if one of the adults in the building had a CCW gun this would likely have been ended after the first or second stabbing and 18 individuals might have avoided injury or death. Just another example of gun free zones being the choice location for mass attacks by sick individuals.

Oh Crap, I'm so glad my wife bought some really good knives a few months ago. Now we are going to have to get KID (Knife ID cards) and purchase permits and will only be able to buy one knife a month. Oh and serrated knives will be band as well as knifes that have handles that allow specific finger placement. Oh and forget knife sets, you will only be able to buy individual knives.

I have seen people here request info on "How do I reload" from time to time. I have never reloaded and know absolutely nothing about it. So, you might want to take this with a grain of salt - but here is a 34 minute video that is billed as an intro to reloading. If it is good, well great; if its not well you didn't pay me so too bad http://youtu.be/Pp0ytVM4ha0

They have plenty of 5.56 and .223 in stock, time to place another order

I ordered those exact same calibers, but I need to hope more than you do as I ordered over 3 times that amount !!!

It's good clean ammo. I have had no problems with it not going bang /)

I've used their generic hollow point and never had an issue with it not working. Have not done any ballistics tests to see how it expands, but it goes bang when I pull the trigger.

Just keep up the pressure. There are many of us that trash Sweeney every single day on Twitter. Don't lay off until they say uncle. Once they sense the pressure is off they will move forward.

Just got an email that Freedom Munitions is selling Ammo with free shipping for next 48 hours. Use this code at checkout fr33ship.

Wow even sounds like a violation of the commerce clause.

While its not officially supported I stream prime from my PC via my Chrome browser to a $35 Chromcast HDMI dongle on my TV.

Welcome. I am confused with the two counties not next to each other, care to explain.
