    Liquidating collection

    I've been doing the same but piece-mail through Gunbroker. My LGS / range does free transfers with membership so cost is minimal. Plus Gunbroker fees are reasonable.

    So at the range today.....

    Try Tenoroc in Lakeland. If the maniac range officer (pistol, shotgun & short range rifle section) is still there, you'll be fine. He's a stickler and rides the hell out of anyone who demonstrates such idiocy (and for much more minor infractions). Plus it's outdoors & under cover.

    Is it just me or are AR-15 rifle becoming ridiculously cheap?

    There was also an inventory buildup last year in the run up to the election due to the "expected" result. Twas not to be & now the fearful are out of the market. Don't think that impacted Delton (they've always been affordable) but I've seen prices generally coming down to burn off the excess...

    Best All Around Gun Company

    I've had my 870 for 20 years. Still my turkey gun. Still, I know people who have had problems with it but mostly newer versions.

    Ruger & SIG.

    Short Barrel Question

    Think length, manufacture date & ammo mod (per AlexanderA's post). They rule the day. Or, whatever ATF may decide on any given day. Best to be overly cautious.

    Florida specific silencer question.

    Megatron (or Galvatron depending on your timing) - I tried to figure this out last year, especially since we are allowed to hunt with them now. I like to get things "set up" first so all I have to do is grab my rifle and walk to my spot when I get to camp. I could not find any specific...

    NPR Story on Hearing Protection Act

    Listened to this yesterday - agree Flynt that it was a decent piece. Not the usual carping but the anti arguments were just talking points - the usual Rorschach test. I use suppressors all the time (I still can't abide the term "silencer"), especially with the kids. I hunt with them too...

    Do women really buy into the pink everything thing?

    My daughter loves the Muddy Girl stock on her Patriot Youth .243. Merry Christmas!

    Ignorance on display story

    Ignorance and arrogance are never compatible, so she just is what she is. Only concealed here. IWB = concealed = none of anyone's damn business. Always enjoy those lovely signs on the doors. A Beretta 92 FS with a cute little red circle & slash? I'm good; I carry a SIG.

    Naval rail gun, mv 4,500 mph

    Exactly. That's why they're mounted on Naval vessels.

    guess I finally need to join the NRA...

    Agreed 1K. Every time WLP trots out I clench a bit (plus I'm with GHWB on some of the rhetoric). But I had the same experience in Central FL - every training facility worth a damn requires membership. I look at it like my hunting license - lifetime is cheaper long term than annual. I always...

    Transformation to shooter

    Concur with much of the above. Bought one, got "good" with it (whether hunting or plinking), then another, then another. When I started to store guns muzzle down in the safe due to constraint, I decided to get "proficient" with what I had before buying a bigger safe. Then I bought another...

    NH get's constitutional carry

    Wish we had it in FL. A few open carry initiatives but doubtful.

    Bumper stickers I'd like to see ...

    I have one small obscure sticker on the corner of my lift gate: a block image of aligned iron sights with a small red dot above the front sight with no text (logo for my local gun club). Only the people who actually know what it is acknowledge it, usually with a nod or smile. No words needed.
