    Getting licensed.

    ...what I needed to do when I was starting. Their web address is http://www.agguns.com/ and there is a link to their Instruction Institute website. I *think* it is one course for an FID, and a different course for the LTC. I only took the Basic Pistol Safety Course to get my LTC. I could be...

    Getting licensed.

    I actually just applied for and received my LTC Class A. First, I would recommend reading the FAQs here: http://massgunlaw.com/ Second, you don't need an FID first, you can take the 'NRA Basic Pistol Safety Course' without a permit. Also, most classes provide a pistol to use for the class...

As far as the politics go, Vermont is quite liberal on social issues, and *generally* moderate to conservative on fiscal issues. Most of the liberal support comes from Burlington, which contains 1/3 of the population of...

    puppies

    Nibbling on ears is a sign of affection, so if she chomps on it she must really like ya! I found this guide to training retrievers on the Ducks Unlimited site: http://ducks.org/Hunting/RetrieverTraining/171/RetrieverHome.html And another THR-er recommended "Water Dog" by Richard Wolters...
