I will be in Louisville, KY next weekend for a wedding and will have some free time. I had thought about spending some of it at the Bluegrass Indoor Range. Anybody know anything about this range? I have been to their website and know the location, hours and rates but nothing more. Do you...

Join GRNC Elected officials pay more attention to groups than they do individuals. Join GRNC and add your name to what they are already doing. While the permit to purchase is onerous, there are far bigger fish to fry in NC. Spend the money to get your CCW permit - it is good for 5 years...

Of course! I see no reason to hide. I have an NRA member sticker and a VCDL "Guns Save Lives" sticker on the back window of my HHR. I have never had any type of problem nor do I anticipate one. John Charlotte, NC

PP - don't know exactly what you are seeking but, I live in Charlotte and I order from Widener's - they are great people with which to do business! They go out of the way to provide good service, ship promptly and allow you to combine powder and primers for one hazmat charge. If I were...

Truly a tragic accident! Prayers are in order for the girl, her parents and the grandparents! To put this accident into some perspective we should also remember that every summer some parent (or guardian) leaves their child alone in a locked automobile - only to have the temperature inside...

Copy it an mail to your elected representatives We should share this article with those who do make the laws. Who knows, one or two of them might learn something. John Charlotte, NC

Mr. jcwit - please PM me with the necessary data and I will pay for your NRA membership. I appreciate your service to our country and would consider it a privilege to pay your dues in memory of my father who is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. If the money is all that is standing...

New Age The Internet and rapid communication with groups has altered Neighborhood Watch groups and made them even more beneficial. Our local PD even communicates with those who sign up, on an almost daily basis. CMPD provides a link where you can get all the latest information on crimes...

Not to point out the obvious, but... mr72 - I hate to point it out but few of us have an option as to the power company (but we can lobby them to change policies); some of us must go into the post office (and for that matter courthouses) as part of our jobs. We do not, however, have to eat...

You do that which you can DO! mr.72 - I think the idea is that you fight the battles you can fight and you win those you can win. I believe one of our Founding Fathers said something like - we shall all hang together or surely we will all hang separately. No one is suggesting you do...

Bogie, thanks for posting this and for your passion on the subject. I obey the law; I do not spend my money with places in which I am unwelcome and I do let the management know about it. I make it as courteous and as factual as I can and I request a reply. Does it do any good? Sometimes...

Keep it Short - Stay focused My suggestion is to send your response addressed to the newspaper with a copy to the person to whom you are responding. Most newspapers do not print each letter they receive and some only print those that either agree with their point of view or make the opposition...

Well Stated!! Excellent post and suggestions. To make this even easier at least one group has somc business card size messages that are available to give to the manager. I believe that is the Buckeye group in Ohio - but I could be wrong. Most of my shopping is in Rock Hill, SC and I...

Take the High Road Organizations usually have contract companies handle their direct mail. The odds are fair that the person opening the mail (and expecting to find a check) is NOT an anti or a nutcase. Take the high road - copy the armed citizen page from American Rifleman or print one of...

FBI Uniform Crime Report - 2006 - Washington, DC (listed as District of Columbia) - 29.6 - by far the highest number of homicides per 100K; next is Puerto Rico with 18.8 - also a place with lots of "gun control". You can very well argue that states with the death penalty are safer than those...

I believe the law allows 90 days and some departments use the full amount of time. Sometimes, on the initial application, the medical checks take longer due to the applicant moving frequently from state to state. At renewal time, remember - it can also take 90 days so apply early! John...

Great Job, Guys! And Thanks! Our normally very liberal and very anti-gun daily newspaper, "The Charlotte Observer", actually had a pretty fairly presented article on the "Protest" in today's edition. Even a picture of a nice looking young lady with her empty holster. This long time...

Listen to El Tejon - he has it right Although I did not read all of the posts but I DID watch a good bit of the McCarthy Hearings. I may have been the only high school student that hurried home to sit with his grandmother and watch the black and white TV! Unless I have lost them in moving...

I've ordered from him and was satisified. At the time I ordered, his website stated that when your order was processed, i.e., booked into their system, your credit card would be charged. I think it took about 3 weeks before my order was shipped. I can understand his reason for oddball...

I normally use only Federal as my revolvers have very light triggers and only Federal goes bang every time. Could not get Federals and tried some Winchester and CCI then bought some Wolf. In my guns, Wolf is almost as reliable as Federal - much better than CCI and slightly better than...
