Ok here is a better analogy, would you buy a 1963 split window corvette to drive back and forth to work every day in the city? Or would a new fully loaded Honda Accord be a better choice for an everyday driver? To me the Corvette = 1911 and the Honda = Glock or similar. Just more practical. I would be pissed if someone rear ended my vett at a traffic light during rush hour. The Honda would be an ohh well S*#t happens deal. To me a 1911 is a range toy or competition gun, not a self defense weapon. Better choices now exist for EDC since its inception over 100 years ago. That's really my point. I will also admit that I personally shoot better with a 1911 in hand than any other semi auto I've ever handled. John M. Browning was a genius! Old article, but still good info on the subject. http://blogs.militarytimes.com/gearscout/2011/06/08/read-this-before-you-buy-your-first-1911/

Although I love to shoot 1911's, I believe it to be a poor choice for and EDC weapon. Any striker fire hand gun would be a better choice IMO. Also think about this, should you have to use it to defend yourself chances are your going to be without it for a long long time. Maybe in a year or two you will get it back from an evidence locker. I wouldnt be as upset to loose a Springfield xds, Glock, or S&W M&P. For $550 you can just go buy another. A Wilson Combat, Kimber, or Les Baer would suck to loose, so why risk it? Also it is much heavier, nothing like having a heavy gun holstered pulling your pants down all day. 1911=great shooter, but bad CCW firearm. Just my opinion though.

so buy one complete, when you get it home take it all apart. Then re assemble it, that way you feel like you built it...

I would say "not sure myself? Just bought them from a guy in a van with a Russian accent behind the WaWa on my way over here." " would you mind checking them all out for me?" And that my friends is how you get the RO's to load all your mags for you while you enjoy your time shooting, instead of loading!

I have a P22 as well. Fun little gun. Good quality for the $.

I'm not sure if any other states or highways have that speeding system in place. That was the one and only time it ever happened to me, inside that tunnel between Baltimore and Washington DC.

lol in 2010 I got a ticket for 97mph in a 70 in SC on I95. I had my shield in the window, family member gold card, and mini shield in my wallet. That trooper didn't care at all wrote me for exactly the speed he clocked me at and the guy in front of me. He pulled both of us over at the same time. That was almost a $400 ticket, add the other speeding ticket that was mailed to me from Baltimore a week after I was home for speeding through the tunnel and the fuel bill. I could have flown first class. I don't drive to Florida anymore. I'm actually down here now and I flew. Way easier to just check your gun in your luggage.

I'm definitely going to try and make it Sunday afternoon. I'm in Florida right now but I land in Newark Sunday at noon. Hopefully I can burn rubber home throw my luggage in the house and shoot over to the range. I believe 3pm shouldn't be a problem so this is my RSVP. I will also probably bring a cased firearm in my range bag so I can grab a port afterwards.

One thing I have to say positive about this case win or loose for us is, following the proceedings so far has really taught me an abundance about how our federal justice system actually works. I really hope things go our way. But even if they don't at least I can take the good from gained knowledge.

you don't have to lock your gun up driving through SC. Its perfectly acceptable to just remove your holstered firearm from your person and put it in your console or glove box loaded. You just cant carry it on you. On another note, I have heard of people renting a $400 yearly tent or RV site from a campground in SC. Then using that address to obtain the non resident. As long as you can provide a signed/notorized lease agreement they will issue the non resident. One other method of obtaining a SC CCW permit.

I applied for my Florida on Feb 24 got it back on April 14. just in time for the vacation I'm on right now. My Utah took 54 days exactly applied Dec 10.

Glock 27, I'm in Florida right now carrying it as I type this, in a Galco IWB. Its nice to be in Free America, even with 90* temperatures. I'm sweating out freedom lol...

Quote No need to feel that way. I'm the only isles fan here I thought this was going to be their year at the beginning of the season. But then they made a terrible trade, & it was over. My Brother-in-law is an Isles fan, I feel sorry for you guys. I usually bring him to the Devils Islanders games if I have my seats those games

I bought my 15/30 round mags from my range. The only thing they ever asked was if I wanted them in a plastic bag to carry out or into a port.

Yep my town started this a couple months ago also. Instead of $18 money order, its $20 online with your credit card. The town will still collect the $2 per permit. So really I think it was worth it, $2 I don't have to deal with the post office. & my permits came back in 17days instead of 3 months. Its way faster for the town = way faster for you!

I only sit in club section 8 at the rock, couldn't tell you what the rest of the seats are like never sat anywhere else. I have plenty of foot space, & padded wide seats with unlimited buffet. But then again I'm also an Oompa Loompa at 5'6" 140lbs. Chris are you blaming the architect's because you had an abnormal pituitary gland as an adolescent?

This is why I'm pro euthanasia for geriatrics.

I prefer Frankenberry!

Tommy at Motorcycle Madness in Newton/Lafayette, can work on Ducati. Great shop.

It wasn't my jersey, just saw the guy in front of me walking into the rock so I snapped a picture. BTW Rangers suck! but I don't hate them. Out of all the teams in the east still alive, I would prefer to see them sweep the playoffs. If you go to Prudential Center its worth it to spring for level 10 VIP parking. That way you can drive inside the attached garage, and walk directly inside to your seats. Your feet never hit Newark streets. I usually take 280 there its only a few blocks off the highway to the stadium. That I don't mind. Actually the streets around the stadium aren't bad. But don't stray too far.

Just for the record, anyone refers to me as Count Dracula and its on!

yep! No one ever accused our law makers of being capable of making obvious decisions though lol... waiting sucks!

Thank Christ! Had me nervous when I read it!
