Middle TN: Another vote for Guns & Leather in Greenbrier. 20 or so minute from Rivergate, nice shop, nice people.

Ha, nothing to add really. When my kids were young I used to do the "dead dad drill"...I thought I invented it. When the road was deserted I would yell "DEAD DAD DRILL!!", groan a little then keel over & make them drive the truck...just for fun. And I wonder why they never call...

Something that I haven't seen mentioned yet...Wrestling. You're in a big city, in a state with a lot of wrestling programs so it should be easy to find a rec. league wrestling program (Future chamions, AAU...something like that, some start as young as 5). It's a very exciting sport and...

Hey, thanks for the replies. Sharp gun there Furncliff. Just left a Sig forum, they don't seem impressed with the Mosquito. Now, of course, the wife is leaning toward the Mosquito because it's sorta like mine...Guess I'll break it to her later. Thanks again, very helpful info here.

Yeah, I was a little surprised by the "toy" comment too. She thought it looked too much like a toy & that "If the boys are going to shoot it, it needs to look like a real gun". She's thinking along the lines of >if it looks like a toy, it might be treated as a toy<. The boys are 14 & 16 so...

Hey gang, Quick question: Any experience/recommendations on a .22 semi-auto handgun? I’m trying to get my wife & kids into shooting too. The boys did sorta OK with my P239 (.40) but I did see a lot of flinching in anticipation. Took the wife today & she really didn’t like it. Didn’t...

Toadman, Pacers was another good hangout, thanks for that memory.

Hey, thanks for the replies! Old Fuff: We're shooting a Sig P239. Bill2k1: Yes, "pushing" is a better description. I think he's anticipating the recoil and bracing against it a split-second before the shot. The shots were mostly centered up but low. I gave both boys the same...

Old Dog, It was a bubblehead bar, I was a bubblehead but used to go there with a neighbor/friend of mine who was USMC. We lived in the military housing (no not together...this was long before "don't ask, don't tell") just across the street from MCRD. Oh, MtCowboy...stay safe. If you get...

Hey, just outside the MCRD main gate (on Lindland or something like that) there used to be a Horse & Cow. If it's still there, have a beer (or several) for me...for old times sake.

I’m fairly new to this but really enjoy shooting so I took my sons (14 & 16) to an indoor range. I was giving them the “safety speech” before going in, both so that they could hear me and so I could point out a couple things not easily seen when you’re between the walls. Just the standard...

Thanks for the replies. I'm just gonna let it drop. I was thinkin' maybe he was just a turd anyway. No biggie, his loss. I know what you mean about separating your friends though, I tend to have "work friends", "motorcycle friends" "shooting friends" and "hunting friends" - which oddly...

Hey gang, Occasional lurker, VERY infrequent poster with a question. Forgive me if this has been done to death. Short version: How do I introduce a newbie to firearms/shooting? Long version: I’m a contract millwright (industrial strength mechanic, LOL) that travels quite a bit to...

Hey bud, I can't even begin to answer your question but after reading your post I do have a couple for you. 1. What the hell kind of volleyball are you playin'? 2. Did you get mud in the gun too? :D

Damn, You sure are a helpful bunch! Learnin' a lot. Thanks to everyone.

Hello again, I’d like to bounce something else off you guys… I know that many of you have several handguns from different manufacturers. Does switching between brands/models give you any trouble? I ask because I’m thinking…Why not two guns? One small for CCW, one large to shoot...

Thanks for straightening me out on the school property rule. OEF_VET: I'm just outside of Gallatin. 1911Ron: How many and when do you want to pick them up?

Hey, thanks for the input! I was kinda thinking he might be wrong on the Glocks. My understanding is that many police officers carry them…surely they wouldn’t carry junk. Anyway, you guys brought up a couple more questions. 1. Could someone define good or bad triggers? I’ve seen...

Hey gang, Forgive me if this has been done to death but I did do a search w/no luck. Anyway, I travel a lot for work, sometimes into not-so-nice areas of some cities, so… I’m thinking about the CC permit. Limited handgun experience: Had a .357 20 years ago, shot a .45 once a year in...

Hey gang, Thanks for the warm welcome. I’m always hesitant to post on a new board - Sometimes you hang out & read for a while to get a feel for the general tenor and still seem to offend people just by being “newâ€. I’m sure you’ve all seen it. Anyway, I didn’t shake it at her...
