It's a bit of a hike for me, and I'm not a member, but always up for meeting new guys!

I did a bad thing last night...
Yep, double checked the last time mine expired. They want them AT LEAST a week before the expiration for them to do anything about it. I hate when that happens! Next time I'm counting out the 90 days instead of doing the math quickly in my head. That'll keep that from happening again! The girlfriend was home dishing out candy... I spent all day with a bunch of kids yesterday giving out candy, so I needed a day to get away. Coming soon... waiting on the permits before I can take possession. Then I'm really glad I pulled out the credit card for this one! I wasn't confident it would still be around long enough for me to get a permit, so it's sitting in the back room waiting for the town to issue my permits.

The funny thing is if I went on the 90th day and it was still good there wouldn't have been anything I wanted. The Cheetah showed up in the case that day!

I did a bad thing last night...
So I went to shoot at RTSP last night to avoid the trick or treaters. I grabbed my last P2P on my way out the door just in case I found something. Anyway, on the drive over I counted the days and today was the 91st! Long story short... I shot my current guns with some buddies and sitting down to chat in the cafe I popped over to BS with the guys behind the counter and caught something out if the corner of my eye... A well worn and well loved Beretta 84F Cheetah. I've always been weirdly fond of the .380 cartridge and always liked "little brothers" of full sized guns. I've been looking at Cheetahs for a bit and couldn't pass this up. Used Cheetah with 4 magazines and Galco holster. I called the girlfriend... Told her I did a bad thing. Her response? It had better be a Beretta. I guess I'm safe this time! Applying for more P2P's as my town won't extend after 2 weeks before expiration. Photos and range report to follow.

Choosing where to buy..
All of my handguns have come from RTSP. Great inventory. Great service. Nothing but positive experience there.

Good experience gone bad at RTSP - Resolved!
Nothing but positive experiences at RTSP. Very happy with my membership, shooting regularly, and sometimes bringing new shooters to the range. The environment is great for new shooters, and experienced shooters as well. Great bunch of RSO's and staff. Three guns purchased from RTSP and there will be more. And good on you Pete for responding to and correcting customers' problems. Not very many owners will do that these days!

WHAT REACTION DO GET WHEN YOU TELL PEOPLE YOU OWN FIREARMS?
I'm definitely selective with who I share that info with but those who know are interested and fascinated and either have gone shooting or want to. That being said, while I don't offer the information to just anyone, I also don't deny it. Even in the great state of New Jersey where guns are taboo, it's apparently ok with someone "normal" like me owns them. I have a greater than 50% conversion after taking newbies to the range. And it's easy when they only need one other reference for their paperwork. When I tell someone I'd happily take them to the range, my guns, my ammo, just to see if they like it. They seldom say no. And when they do, they're concerned about safety until I tell them about my RSO credentials. Long story short, they're probably interested too. They're just like you and are waiting for someone else to bring it up first.

Brand New Walther PPX - $279
And don't forget the rebate on top of that... $100 in free Walther goodies -- extra magazine, holster, and magazine holder (only applies to the .40 in NJ due to magazine limits... the 9mm isn't eligible in NJ) If I didn't have my PPQ, I'd be jumping all over this deal!

I'll Show You Mine if You Show Me Yours - Targets
That's a really nice setup! If I ever get a chunk of land big enough to shoot on, I may try to copy that!

Midway USA clearance items....
Me too but I got off easy. Only $149 this time. Last time I ordered an orange mag follower for my 870. Finally back in stock and cost me $200 by the time I was done in the clearance section.

Zastava M70A
Might not be too bad if I reload... that's how I'm feeding my other fun ones. My .32 PP and my .380 PPK almost always eat reloads!
-
Zastava M70A
Very cool! I've been interested in those for a while (I've wanted a TT-33 ever since Enemy at the Gates came out!) According to the Zastava website, the M57 is Single Action... still the case with the M70A since the website doesn't mention?

Jerry Miculek + the Weapons of The Walking Dead
He sure had fun filming this one! I'd love to get my hands on an AUG to try out too!

Your First Shot
Probably 10 or 11. Boy Scout summer camp. Single shot .22 LR. Still have the targets downstairs and I wasn't too bad at that age!

Very cool! Happy birthday to your daughter!

Proud dad in San Antonio
Congrats, you should be proud. As the son of two Air Force veterans, they urged me to stay civilian, join the corporate world, but I have much respect for those who serve. That being said, had I known about the PJ's as I was growing up... my life would be very different right now. Props to your son!

Free shipping again from Freedom munitions. All orders.
Took a little while but my ammo is on a truck for delivery today. Always a pretty good deal if you're not in a hurry.

Open Carry Proponent Robbed of His Gun at Gunpoint
I wouldn't OC my P22 let alone CC it. It's a great fun for plinking but that's about it!

Curious to what you support?
I'm all for choice. Forcing her to live through it until the disease wins is absolutely inhumane.

IDPA introduction session
Just want to post another thank you to Mr.Stu and IrishPete'sBoss... today's course was great! I learned a LOT about IDPA and honed some skills. I met some great people along the way and definitely anticipate some matches in my future. I've definitely found a new way to enjoy shooting! Thanks again, the program was well run and very insightful!

Very cool! I've always wished I'd taken the time to learn how to really USE Illustrator. Some very cool things can be done!

Online Ammo Sales Question
Never had to send a copy of my D/L. A scanned copy of my FID has been enough at all the retailers I've used in the past.

American Sniper movie trailer
Cooper said in an interview that he had only "met" Chris Kyle via a quick phone call. But his heart seems to be in the right place.
