  1. The nuance with this one is the location has to be club that submitted its membership list - you do not have to be a member. The only get out for the location is to be a certified instructor and the location is "suitable for training", or the person you are doing the temporary transfer to is your child.
  2. What weight bullet do you usually use? If you are used to 124gr or 147gr you will find the ogive to be quite different. If the seating surface of the die has a hollow center and it touching the head somewhere below the tip you will find the lighter head will sit higher than the fatter, heavier head.
  3. A minimum of 1 year of experience shooting IDPA and a current IDPA classification is required for this class. Course will run 4 to 5 hours. Required gear: semiautomatic handgun or revolver chambered in 9mm Luger / .38 Special or larger equipped with iron sights or slide mounted optics strong side hip holster and belt 3 magazines or 4 speedloaders belt pouches for 2 magazines or 3 speedloaders 150 - 200 rounds of ammunition eye protection and hearing protection - No exceptions.
  4. Bump - Any interest in this class?
  5. I talked with him about what I was looking for and he showed me his demo vests and plates. He then ordered new from Spartan for me.
  6. Is there a discount code? I don't see the discount on their site.
  7. Not at all. It just means you are smarter than average. You might want to worry if you were going to post the same thing, but didn't because I got there first.
  8. Perfectly sober, but my sarcasm gets the better of me most of the time.
  9. Very much tongue in cheek - I almost bit it off!
  10. Isn't it obvious? Here's how it works: 1 known gang member puts in for his permits. He has to name 2 references. You can bet at least 1, but probably both are also gang members. Now you have identified 3 gang members. Now they submit permits and identify 2 more gang members each. Now you know 7 gang members' identities - and you have their fingerprints to boot! This goes on and on until you have identified everybody connected with the gang. This is crime fighting gold! I think they should add a box on the form for the name of your gang.
  11. We actually mixed it up a bit today and the afternoon stages were shot with somebody else's gun - if you were willing to loan your gun to somebody else. I took my P320 as it was the cleanest gun I have at the moment and @Pizza Bob was the lucky guy who gave up his revolver to somebody else and shot my P320 instead. I'll let Bob tell you how he did, but he didn't drop it and there were no unexpected bangs.
  12. Due to an oversight on my part, I have had to reschedule this class to September 14th. It is therefore no longer on Labor Day weekend and maybe less likely to be a scheduling clash for people. The Eventbrite page has been updated accordingly.
  13. NJ law is that you cannot allow a minor easy access to a loaded firearm. Therefore if a minor is in your house by your permission, you can leave the guns laying around if there is no ammo available. You can leave ammo around if the are no guns available. You cannot leave guns and ammo around at the same time.
  14. I am running an IDPA Intermediate Skills class at EFGA on August 31st. This class is designed to teach some of the thought processes and techniques that will help a Novice or Marksman advance to the next classification in IDPA. To acheive the most from this class you should have at least a year of experience of shooting IDPA and have been classified in at least one division as NV or MM. This class will be oriented towards semi-auto pistols and will be less useful to revolver or PCC shooters although these are also welcome to attend. Some of the board members have attended my IDPA Intro class in previous years and have given positive feedback so I hope this class will be equally well received.

  15. Thanks Bob. You're not so bad yourself.
  16. It's not in the rule book, but at my matches new shooters are required to not wear a concealment garment. I need to see what they are doing and a concealment garment isn't doing it's job if I can see. If we have a no-light/low-light stage new shooters have to have the lights on...for the same reason.
  17. If you decide to come to a Somerset match I can certainly enter you in the scoring system under a pseudonym, but as Match Director I would need to know your real name. You can shoot 3 IDPA matches without joining IDPA but would need to join the organisation to shoot your fourth. They are completely online and other members would be able to see your name in the members section after they log in to the IDPA website.
  18. Not quite. The case revolves around JN, not the administrative steps. Nowhere in Rogers does anybody mention getting rid of the Judges' role. If SCOTUS isn't asked the question, it is very unlikely that they will answer it.
  19. They already have all these things. If (when) justifiable need gets struck NJ doesn't need to do anything. The rest of the process will still be there. You will still have a background check done (they send you back to morphotrack for $$$) , need to qualify with each and every gun you want to carry (which includes being signed off on knowing NJ laws), and you'll still need the permit approved by your CLEO and then a Superior Court Judge. The last step will be slow walked and queues allowed to build up. I don't want it to be this way, but I'll bet it will.
  20. When I was a kid my Dad had 3 types of spanners (wrenches) - BSF, Metric and Whitworth. The transition from English to metric was painful as many things from cars to household appliances had a mix of English and Metric on the same object for years.
  21. My 1997 Jeep Cherokee had Torx all over it.
  22. I'm very interested but depends on date. Could probably do a weekday. I have my kids every second weekend so that's 50/50 if I will be able to make the date you get.
  23. I'm not going this time, but I've been before. For range, it's likely to be 20 yards or less. For the gun, 30-30 is popular but .223/5.56 has been used plenty of times too as well as 20g slug. You can even use a pistol if you want but personally I have reservations about the humane kill aspect - 9mm is not enough for a sure kill, .44 magnum would be fine if you're sure of your shot placement. Bows have been used successfully in previous hunts too. If you don't have a pickup truck, don't forget tarps or a body bag for the trip to the butcher. There will be blood.
  24. I got my denial last year. It's too expensive to do again so soon. You have to do anothe Morphotrak background check ($$) and then qualify with the guns you want to carry at 50-60 rounds each (more $$). The staff at GFH blinked hard when I told them how many quals I wanted to run.
