IIRC they say 60-90 days, and they take 90. patience! :) ChickenHawk

Sometimes it makes sense. I have a GunVault deluxe (2-gun size) handgun safe in my den. I got this so I could keep a couple of guns handy in our most frequently used room, while still having them secure from non-authorized handling. It is inside my custom made built-in cabinets which I paid...

Actually the eyebrows on 'B' are strictly a safety improvement. We're hoping to acquire additional adjacent land to build several 'B' sized ranges for IDPA and training ranges. Another alternative is adding a range behind 'E' (there is a large patch of land beyond the 100 meter backstop)...

Sponsors: None are required. That is an old rule and if you read further it mentions that. I believe I mentioned earlier that the web site is being renovated. Those comments will be gone afterwards. Notice that the membership form has nowhere for a sponsor to sign any more. Voted in...

Primlantah, OK, I'm forced to admit to you that I don't own a single rifle! :) I am a pistol shooter and have plenty of places to shoot at the Austin Rifle Club. We have 4 ranges which are excellent for either pistol or rifle. Our Range 'A' has 25 and 50 yard placements and can be...

You guys need to check out the Austin Rifle Club located in Manor, TX. It is a membership only range, but joining isn't difficult. We do require you to attend a Range Orientation class and a Range Safety Evaluation. These are held on the 3rd Saturday of every month. The next is April 19 at...

Most of you are addressing this issue from an extremely sensible angle of how much alcohol you can realistically handle while remaining a responsible, safe person. I wouldn't argue with that for a second and agree with every word so far as common sense is concerned. My point earlier in...

To me, this topic is very similar to the question of wearing helmets while riding a morotcycle. In Texas it is legal to ride a motocycle without a helmet. But, I'd be willing to bet that anyone who has actually been in a collision with no helmet (and managed to survive) took up wearing them...

Also the Austin Rifle Club offers some excellent education. The web site is a bit out of date, but the Classes and Schedules are accurate. There is also a new class about to be offered specifically for women, but I see that has not been posted yet. Check http://austinrifleclub.org and...

My parents bought me one of these when I was a kid, and I used to shoot in our basement. Believe it or not, that was in Valley Stream, NY ! :p http://www.dealerease.net/catalog/product.asp?pid=17746&ret_id=139995 Be Safe, ChickenHawk

If you are concerned then log on to the NRA web site and see what your membership type is. If it says "Life - Active" then you're all set. ChickenHawk

Yikes, this thread is from 2003-2004!

WooHoo!!! I just logged on to nra.org and checked my membership. Under TYPE it says; Life - Active. How cool is that?! Thanks again, Tucker! :)

Here's the thing. You pull the trigger it goes bang. Every time. No other controls to mess with or forget about under pressure. Also, extremely easy to clean and maintain. I think there are fewer parts (total) in a Glock than there are in some gun's trigger mechanisms. Tools required to...

My check just cleared, too. I'm amazed the NRA did the paperwork that fast. When I originally joined the NRA I recall making calls to see if they got my paperwork because it took so long for them to even bill my credit card. Cheers, ChickenHawk
