I haven't made any comments in here for awhile, but this one caught my attention. I bought the wife a model 85 (the heavy, shiny one), 4 years ago for her birthday. She and I both love it and practice with it often. I even have on my carry permit (good old California and their MUST LIST ALL THAT...

Why I CCW..... 35 years ago (I was 22 years old), I never locked my front door or my car/pickup and sometime I even left the keys in the ignition. Anyone from a rural area can make that same claim. Although I owned guns at that time, I would have considered it a nusance to carry any of them all...

Now I understand you. You are a metric loving, cafe racer that probably drinks his brew at the suggested temperature of 50 F. But if you like guns and the second amendment, and Biker hasn't flamed you yet, you can't be all bad.;) But I STILL won't drink and carry. If you are forced to use...

Besides, Biker being a Harley guy, it's probable those 24 "beers" he is talking about are the chemical concoctions only loosely connected to anything that the reinheitsgebot would recognize as real beer, so the count doesn't really matter that much Beer worthy of that name does not come in cases...

I recently recieved (about a year), my NRA, Home Safety Instructor and Basic Pistol Instructor certifications. I agree it's difficult to get started but don't expect anyone to beat down your door until your name (and hopefully a good reputation), starts to get around. I am currently volunteering...

I never drive after two and I never carry after deciding to have the first one... I love you Biker.......can I have your liver when you croak? I need an anvil for my gun bench....:neener:

I'm an NRA Basic Handgun Instructor as well as a qualified CCW instructor. I doubt that the person that told you that was really NRA affiliated. I least I hope he's not. You should practice with your carry gun as much as feasable. Not only to hit the bad guys but to NOT hit the innocent ones.

Two of them......Mother of pearl grips......in a display case.......over MY fireplace.... Sorry PBP......

I have three I rotate these depending on the situation 1-J-frame .38 Spcl.--4 years old 2-CZ Rami in 9mm--3 years old 3-Para, Hawg 9- Brand new

Day job - Safety manager for trucking company Side jobs (to pay for toys) - HazMat Safety Instructor-NRA Instructor

Sorry-I won't jump on this bandwagon About 12 years ago a very close friend of mine was killed doing that exact same thing. Had she been spotted, brought to court, scolded and fined like that, we could be having a beer and laughing about stupid stuff we did 12 years ago rather than me visiting...

My last purchase(s) I bought two guns almost simutaneously last month, so I will list them both: Para Hawg 9 Ruger Model 77, .223 Next up, will be a Ruger MkII, with the bull barrel or a Ruger 10/22T

Where do live, Troy? In my area (California), you must shoot 6 rounds, drop mag, insert new mag and shoot 6 more rounds at 3 yards, 7 yards and 15 yards. You must place at least 28 shots in the black (paper BG ). Some certifiers make you go through single hand shooting at 7 yards with...

dm333 I'm in the same boat here. WallyWorld doesn't sell guns in this state, that I know of. Lot'sa ammo though. I can get S&W .40 JHPs for $24.00/100

The real issue here ......is gun costs in my area. My neighbor is the only FFL in town and he sells to me for 10% above cost. Now, how HIS prices are (the price he pays), I have no real benchmark other than the cheapest prices I've seen on the internet. He always beats them.
