2wheelfiend: Yes. With a little practice it doesn't slow you down at all.

I've been reading the thread and wasn't going to comment. But it got so convoluted that I forgot the OP subject. So I'm just gonna interject what I usually do, but it varies from situation and mood. I usually carry a 22 target pistol while hunting deer and black bear with a rifle (30-06)...

Scaatylobo: The restrictions you refer to are locally imposed by the issuing authority. They are administrative restrictions, not restrictions imposed the the penal code. So you're correct that the judge can revoke you license, for that or any other infraction of his restrictions. Or for...

You'll be surprised to learn that despite New York state's onerous gun laws, CCW license allows you to eat in any restaurant while carrying. You can even have a drink.

Springwalk: If it were not for the NRA, you wouldn't have a gun to talk about on this forum. You need to read more. If you don't like the solicitations, throw them out. I figure you're a young person and don't remember the major attacks on your rights. It's too bad. I feel sorry for...

Brown is either an idiot or a con man. He seems too smart to be an idiot. :D

Whitehouse.gov is the wrong venue for such a petition because it will get NO positive response. Set up a petition that all Congress Critters and the press will see.

Vermont gets my vote. Only gun law I know makes it illegal to carry a gun while commiting a crime. NY, DC, MA are the worst. California will make that list soon. :banghead:

When discussions get testy like this ridiculous argument, I usually leave the thread. I find neck shots (sometimes head shots) are sure stopping shots. I use them almost exclusively. Doesn't matter to me whether it's shock or not that does the job.

He should apply as soon as he can. Most counties recognize military service as adequate training in lieu of a safety course. Oneida county for example recognizes it for 3 years. Other counties may vary.

Here in upstate NY on ruffed grouse I use #4 shot from my 12ga model 12 Winchester pump. Improved cylinder. I found the smaller shot pesky for cleaning, not as much knock down power as the #4. They drop fast with the #4.

Seems to me it's a lot easier and more practical to fireform the cases. Don't need a full charge of powder.

BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE, BE ABSOLUTELY SURE IT'S NOT LOADED. Best way to check is to put a dowel down the muzzle and mark the dowel for the depth. Then take the dowel out and put it along side the barrel to be sure it bottomed on the barrel and not a load. It's a simple check, but easy...

The petition is a good idea, but there's no way I will be registered member!!!! Sorry

At first I thought 822 was a good idea, but after thinking a day or so, I am now opposed to the bill. My fear is that once the Feds are involved, they will start making requirements for the state. Soon you will have the Feds controlling CCW nationwide. That can only lead to a complete...
