    What distances do you guys normally shoot at?

    Man, I wish I had access to some of these open spaces you guys have. That's the one drawback of living in the mountains. I have a 25 yard pistol range in my backyard, but the terrain doesn't let me go further than that (it goes steeply uphill). Our local public forestry range is 100 yards max.

    Going through an FFL for local sale (plus question about permits)

    Yes, that's right. I still have it in fact. :) Good luck with your trade.

    Curious about "Gun Girls"

    I know and have known many women shooters. I think it is true in all cases that the women I've known were shooters, not tech geeks. They liked shooting (in some cases, a lot), but were not very enamored by the guns and gear other than how it made them shoot better. A lot of guys on internet...

    Going through an FFL for local sale (plus question about permits)

    OP, I live in NC and have made many face to face purchases (pretty sure I bought a gun from you once). There is no requirement to go through an FFL if both buyer and seller are NC residents (Oh no, gun show loophole!!! :barf:). With NC's pistol permit requirement, there isn't even any benefit...

    Universal Background Checks

    The difference it, while you do have to go to a Sheriff's office or FFL now for private sale, there is no background check. HR 8 will require a NICS check for all firearms transfers. And you will need to go to a dealer, not the other options open to you now. I have done many private transfers...

    Universal Background Checks

    Whether it is constitutional or not aside, here is my concern with it. Between HR 8 and HR 1446, they are making it illegal for anyone to purchase or transfer a firearm without a NICs check. (no private sale or transfer). Then they are requiring that the FBI give a firm OK in order for the...

    Partially concealed carry ?

    Is "brandishing" described in your state statute? These vague terms are disturbing catch alls. In NC, even though open carry is legal, we also we have a common law offence describing "going armed to the terror of the people". I once saw a police officer ask someone open carrying to leave a...

    Universal Background Checks

    There is no legal interstate commerce of Marijuana for private citizen consumers. In theory, the states are in an economic vacuum where it is concerned. Ironically, if the feds legalized it and there was legal interstate commerce, then they could tell the states what to do. Restrict growth...

    Universal Background Checks

    Justice Thomas is spot on. It's a federal power grab. And a blatant one at that.

    Universal Background Checks

    Wow. So the court's opinion on Interstate commerce is based on the economic equivalent of the Butterfly Effect. Yeah, that's a fine string the Feds are just going to cling to with all their might. Power corrupts, and absolute power....

    Home Range Build

    Assuming you have solid walls, suppressed handguns would be quiet enough. My suppressed 9mms sound about as loud as a 16" semi-auto shooting 22lr supers. You'd likely need ear protection shooting suppressed indoors, but I doubt your neighbors would even hear it if the range was properly designed.

    No more guns coming?

    Yeah, it really seems like you have to buy online right now. I've already purchased three guns from three different places since the beginning of Dec. All were in stock, shipped immediately and not overpriced.

    Is it bad I want a M1 Garand in .308?

    Nice M1s Ron! 7mm-08 is a new one on me. I've never seen a Garand chambered in that!

    Discussion on H.R. 8 and H.R. 1446 passage

    So you are saying we shouldn't bother contacting our congressmen and senators, letting them know we are unhappy with they way they are representing us? That is defeatist and one reason why we are in this situation in the first place. You fight and keep fighting. If they knock us down, we get...

    Is it bad I want a M1 Garand in .308?

    I know the purists might hate me, but I'm not even a little sorry. I absolutely love my 308 Garand. This gun is a mid WWII production Springfield that was send to Denmark after the war. They eventually returned it to the U.S. and I purchased it as a Service Grade from the CMP. It was already...

    Do you think the gun manufacturers and ammo manufatures are doing enough?

    Don't blame the sellers. Blame the buyers. Everything is getting sold out as soon as it hits the shelves or website. It's a sellers market. This is what happens in a sellers market. It doesn't matter what the product is. Simple Econ 101 stuff. A lot of the stuff we buy in the US gun market...

    Just received my $1400

    Actually, since I used the stimulus checks to buy wish list items, I was able to divert more regular funds into maxing out my Roth IRA last year. So they did help me save.
