thanks guys, I'll certainly try everything that everyone suggested. this is a little disappointing.

well, this is a little embarrassing because just recently I posted in a thread where I ranted and raved about my 870. I took it to the range today and the pump kept seizing up every few rounds. in other words, I'd fire, then the pump would just be stuck, and would only break loose after messing...

this actually makes me feel a little bit better. I'm still going to follow up on this on monday, and ask about it, but I see your point. if they were interested in me, they sure are making it obvious, lol. it's just that out of all 4 times, the previous 3 seemed a little more legit, then this...

well, I don't have a CCW permit so I don't have a worst case for that scenario, but my personal worst case for when I open carry is when my hands are full, like at the check-out counter at a gas station or something like that, and someone behind me in line nabbing my gun. I'm not trained in Krav...

exactly why I'm nervous. everyone around here is TERRIFIED of the police because they NEVER follow their own rules, and thanks to the "good ol' boy" system that's firmly entrenched in the local government/law enforcement around here, it's rare for dirty cops to be prosecuted for their crimes...

deadin: nope. the worst (and most recent) thing on my record is a DWI, and that was several years ago, I also already had that on my record before I ever purchased my first firearm. RobNDenver: the only thing in your list of possibilities is bumper stickers, but nothing drug related. I haven't...

fallout mike: not long, only since January. jimmyray: yes, they're all the same department. I'm in the New Orleans area. I used to live in the city, and the crazy police in the city were one of the big reasons why I moved to the suburbs. ironically, I've had more strange run-ins with the more...

@ deadin I don't know how to define probable cause anymore. the line is getting blurrier and blurrier. the only thing I can think of is the fact that I go shooting pretty often. I wonder if one of the neighbors got nervous after seeing me hauling rifle cases to and from my truck on days that I...

so I have reason to believe that I'm being scoped out by my local police. in about 3 months, I've had 4 random visits from the police, all 4 were: "oops! I guess we got the wrong address! sorry, have a nice day.":confused: 2 times they said they were responding to a home security alarm at my...

funny thing is I went to the gun shop for this used Walther PPK that they've had up for consignment for a while, or something similar, and I ended up with a brand spanking new 1911. it was just laying there whispering "buy meee.... buuuyyyyy meeeee..." haha. EDIT: I also made the mistake of...

just my .02: I think XDs are ugly as all hell. I know alot of ppl say the same about Glock, but Glock is my preference. I've never owned an XD, but I have buddies that do, and I just could never get into them. in terms of reliability, I don't know anyone else who has a Glock. that being said...

wow, thanks for the quick responses. exactly what I needed to know. :D

how can you find IDPA matches in your local area? on the website they list all their big pro-matches, but do they have matches for ametures to just show up try your hand? I've never shot competitively before, but I've been wanting to do it for a good while now. all I could find near me is a...

JTQ - what about being parkerized makes it like oil more? I'm pretty sure mine has a parkerized finish..

heck yea I'd be willing to buy a LE trade-in. I'm not splitting hairs on the price.. as with anything else, the price has to be right for the quality and condition of the product in question. a more appropriate question (for me personally) would be, would you carry/trust your life to a police...

what the heck is MIM?
