If you're not familiar with him, you should be. Mr. Elder is seriously considering a run for political office. If you would like to comment, his email is: LarryAElder@gmail.com - I first became aware of him, many years ago, through his book - "Ten Things You Can't Say in America" - highly...
I bought 3 pistols. They were put on my permit. Gifted 1 to my son. Gave my son a paper saying: - Pistol transferred to ... ... ...., - (just as you would in a normal sale/transfer) - he registered it on his permit, - then he received the pistol from me. - I don't really see a problem here...
A local Runnings store had 6 or 7 brands of 9 mm. (115 gr. plain vanilla) a couple days ago. - Most I've seen in a long time, all priced at 19.99 per 50. Reasonable prices. According to a news item I heard yesterday, - on shipping containers entering the country, - shipping container handling...

Oneida county - you HAVE TO complete an accepted pistol-safety course BEFORE they will give you an application for a pistol permit. Wait time seems to be about 6 months, after submitting paperwork. Their number is 315-798-5821.
Tickets aren't out yet, Glenn. Not sure yet exactly when the raffle will be, either Sept. or Nov. -- Don't worry, I'll make sure you hear about them when they're finally out. -- You've been kind of scarce around here lately - good to see you're back.
A small zip-tie attached at the hole on a Spyderco will accomplish the same thing. It's a neat function, but if you use it all the time - your going to wear out the edges of your pants pockets...just saying.
Bought a bulk pack, 800 Federal .22 LR. yesterday. Price was $65.00 - an increase of $20 from 3 months ago. This price was from a big-box store that has been keeping it's prices very reasonable. Ten months ago, same ammo was $ 70 for a case of 1600.
Steel Will Scylla, listed as a 'top opener', drop point has become my new favorite EDC, - around a $50 price on the net. D2 steel, which is planer blade steel. The top opening feature also allows it to deploy instantly when pulling it from your pocket, you just catch the edge of your pocket...
Whoever is responsible for this should be horse whipped, - flogged until dead, - in Clinton Square. With food vendors and bands there, make it a damn festival.
The benches at the rifle range are close to the road. Only a 20 foot carry from car to bench. Us old retired gators like the convenience. Outdoor ranges are not supposed to be used before 9:00 a.m. -- As for the 'rapid fire' - most guys I know don't have enough ammo to do that right now...
Legal to smoke weed TODAY - APRIL 1, 2021 in NYS. That's the headline story in newspaper tonight...just saying. It's OK right now, - to carry up to 3 ounces, have 6 - 12 plants cultivating, - possess up to 3 or maybe 5lbs. - (I forget which) - and smoke it in public, sidewalks, streets...
a local Runnings store had SOME primers last week. They split up the cartons, and were selling the primers for $ 3.99 a hundred, limit 200. This isn't anywhere near 'gouger/scalper' pricing. Seen them at $30 a hundred locally, and also at $ 300 per thousand, locally.
Article in local paper on 'backups' of unloading ships at ports. Said untold numbers of ships are waiting unloading, - with some ports having 50 - 60 ships backed up. - Normal numbers are maybe 4 or 5. - It went on to say that a large container ship can take 8,000 trucks to unload it's cargo...

A book by Jim Cirillo - "Guns, Bullets, and Gunfights, - tales of a modern day gunfighter" - covers this topic of learning to shoot WITHOUT using your sights, - excellent book. Jim had the dubious honor of being the NYPD officer, in a special undercover unit, with the most 'shoots' in his career.

You can bitch about the big box stores, but I haven't seen any that are asking really outrageous prices for ammo. But, it's New York state - and every day in business may be your last...just saying.
Some of you seem to sometimes forget the most basic human right - the right to be left the fuck alone. - And, while you're pondering that, ask yourself - do we REALLY need over 5 million federal laws on the books?
