Okay, great! Thanks for the info.

Sorry for such a general question, but I'm trying to get back into shooting again after an almost two-year-logn hiatus (due to starting grad school). Can anyone recommend a Concealed Handgun License course provider in the triangle (Raliegh, Cary, Durham, RTP, etc) area of North Carolina...

note that they also mention pistol sports, not just sporting clays.

linky! http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,123134,00.html the article there is the brunt of the text, and they have the video you can watch.

Did any of you get one in Durham county, by the way? Any hassles? I'll be applying later this summer or in the fall.

Interesting! Which Wally World was this? (I live near the one at Breier Creek, near Hwy 70 and I-540)

It worked for me, but firefox had to open it using a helper application. I converted it to jpeg, so here we go:

You know, this would be a good role for one of those .44 magnum carbines which Ruger made for a while (they started making them again, I think, with a slightly different design?) Of course, .44 isn't near as cheap as .223, 9mm, or .22rimfire, but if that carbine has any role, it's this one!

O/U's and SxS's are expensive. period. sorry!

I thought he said "varmints" with low cost ammo -- to me, this means shooting small mammals at relatively long distances .. maybe 50 -300 yards. For such a purpose, the low velocity and low sectional density of 9mm is just silly. A fast rimfire or .223 seems much better than 9mm if this is...

Hmm.. interesting question. What size varmints? chipmunks, rats, coons, coyotes?? Unless you're shooting short-range (<30-50 yards?), why ever choose a 9mm for varmints? I don't really see the appeal of a 9mm truck rifle, as opposed to .30-30, .308, or .223. I've always thought .22...

don't be so quick They may be pro-destroying-evil and hence pro-self-defence, but isn't every adventure story this way by necessity??? I think it's an enormous stretch to call them pro gun. In one of the earlier books, there was a distinct note that the Muggles loved to use these loathsome...

Fed168, Thanks for your input. I gather you have more information than the rest of us regarding such incidents, and I find it rather suspicious that the original poster hasn't responded yet. I know nothing about this case at all, and I don't mean to comment on its validity or lack...

For the sake of a free press, I should note that my commander is in 9x19, so the full package with a 5" barrel seemed too big for the diminutive cartridge; however, the 4" commander length made the gun comparable in overall size to (and thinner than!) all the Wonder-9's out there. I've heard...

Longer sight radius is nice, but I like the overall size of the 4" commander more than a full size. It really depends on your purpose... for hunting, target shooting, or competition, 5" is likely the way to go -- more options, longer sight radius, perhaps marginally better velocities. For...

Thanks. Email sent.

I moved to the Durham, NC area last fall and hadn't had a chance to join a gun club until recently (when my first year of grad school at Duke ended). Consequently, I haven't shot more than a rubberband since last August. :what: :( Someone reccommeded DCWC as a good, inexpensive club...

Sounds good! I moved to NC from WI last fall (for grad school at Duke), and I'm still looking for a place to shoot and people to shoot with. What sorts of dates were you thinking of? next month? next 3 months? School keep me very busy until May 1, and I'm away, getting married in WI...

Zak: amusing, but flawed... You are assuming that the backlash will pull in a certain preferred direction, but consider the scenario. For a simple reference, consider the Libertarian political diamond thingy: http://www.theadvocates.org/quiz.html Just hit "Score It!" to bring up the map...

Both CO and NC got new CCW laws recently -- notably North Carolina now allows reciprocity, but the list is currently only these states: Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Idaho, Kentucky, Michigan, Montana, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Wyoming...
