and stand at parade rest (sans weapon) or at ease, depending on your service or generation, at least 2 paces back from the benches. I used to enforce that rule when I had guests with me, before the club remodeled the range from wide open with benches to actual shooting stalls. that way...

Ok. Ours is electronic lock with key cards, and also self-managed. I've never heard of anyone loaning their key card, as i'm 100% confident that not only would that be an immediate membership loss, but I'd bet there'd be some legal consequences. We don't **** around like that at my range...

I'm curious how they got on the range without the member there. Or does the range not have any security?

I bought sooo much, not necessarily unnecessary stuff, but at least stuff I didn't necessarily need at that point, just to make those deals happen.

http://www.armoryracks.com/ I have a pair of those. I also have the S hooks that I still use for 1 or 2. I disliked them after a while, as it meant the hand guns kept getting bumped when I pulled a long gun out.

If anyone has any good experience using any of the above in say a Junior Pistol type casual match with a Beretta M9-22, please PM me? Kid is thinking of joining, that's the pistol I have for him to shoot currently, and I'd like to get a good bulk lot of something known to shoot POA/POI...

FED 725/745/750/787 (exact same ammo, just different packaging. gold, blue, red, bucket, respectively) has been my go to bulk purchased ammo for years. I also have an SR22 and it eats it up.

Actual enforcement is what causes the subjects to comply. Power flows from the gun, or the noose; hangin' of traitors needs to come back.

This is the predominant reason OC shouldn't be restricted. Too many places made OC illegal, and that included printing and unintentional display. With regards to the latter, I'd say it highly depends on the exact locale. I've OC'd in more dense population areas and saw at least no overt...

Two is One. One is none. Three is better than Two. If you're "poor", buy Hi Points.

I can only speak for me, but with prices (at least formerly) being excessive, and the uncertainty the times caused, I paused or canceled a tremendous amount of non-essential spending, across the board. Given that that uncertainty hasn't waned much, if anything it's getting worse, I'm still...

Funny. I always did. You never know when they'll change something and trip you up. Also my FFL has ALWAYS made a point of saying he cannot help with answering a 4437 EVER.

I was going to say, that looks like the same lock as on my safe, and it came supplied with a giant skeleton key, as a backup.

I checked out this scenario with my FFL when a friend of mine wanted a specific pistol. I found what he wanted, he gave me cash, I paid the seller, he sent it to my FFL, we and my friend went to said FFL, and my friend filled out the 4473 and took possession of the firearm. I was told that, as...

This. My S&W 442 is already hateful to shoot with +p 125gr, I can only imagine how much worse hot loaded .357 would be out of something that size and weight.
