Re: How many of us will be renewing just after Sept 1?
My chl expires in January. I envision there will be such a backlog along with the
rule changes that I might not get my renewal before my license expires...
However, It might be close enough to Sep 1 that I may not be able to get into a
class before then... Catch 22?

Re: Trade gun across state lines
Sending a gun to be repaired is not a transfer of ownership. As I understand it,
I can send my gun to be repaired (pretty sure the factory is FFL). It came back
straight to me as the owner.
I think the problem comes when trying to trade weapons or sell one to an individual
living in another state.

Crossbreed holsters has some velcro-backed holsters as well (which is where I got mine)

I keep a gun in a holster that is velcroed under my desktop within easy grab. Not noticeable unless you get on your hands and knees...

Re: Shooting out of a boat
If they're not actively coming into the boat, leave em alone. My property is surrounded by wetland forest and snake are often on my property. I simple run them off with tapping the ground with a shovel if they appear in my yard. Have I killed any? Sadly, yes. A few of the venomous types that presen...

Re: City revised park rules, success!
"Firearms are strictly prohibited unless otherwise permitted by state law. " I think the highlighted phrase is the key. To the uninitiated masses this means no guns. To us as CHL holders, this is a nod to the state law that allows us to carry, and thus should prevent arrest on that city-ow...

Re: What to practice to improve score
+1 on the dry-fire. I've heard to balance a coin across the front sight and practice without dislodging that coin. I've never tried that, so it may or may not work. I also like an airsoft gun for easy practice indoors - cheap, safe and good "dry-fire" with a feedback on the actual results....

looking for reload data - 45 acp
Well, I have been scrambling to find components and powder where and when I can. I bought some 200grain FPJ (Flat Point Jacketed) bullets that are .4515 in diameter. (Sierra Tournament Master, Match. Bullet # 8825) The closest load data I have is Lyman load data for a 200 gr Jacketed HP and it calls...

Re: 1911 Range Gun - WTB (maybe)
My first 1911 was a Rock Island Match-Grade 1911. It has ambi-safeties (I'm a lefty) and a fiber optic front sight and a moveable rear sight. It has been a blast to shoot and I look forward to many more years of shooting it. Forgot to mention that they are not super expensive. For daily carry I repl...

If I dropped about 40 pounds on my toe, I know my neck would suddenly stop bothering me. :-)

Re: Video: GG, shooting from driver's seat, fells carjacker.
Was that a second carjacker that beat a hasty retreat, or an innocent pedestrian? I think it was the former...
Edited to say, after looking again I think it was an innocent pedestrian. They came around the corner after
the shooting began.
