@MilesTeg, Irons, glass or lasers? Any which way, that is a great shot.

I printed out a couple, did not look at them, when I got to the range the image was at best 6x9, shrunk on the paper. At 10 yards I would've needed to stand at the 5 yard line to see the birds. I tried shooting it but my eyes don't work down to that resolution. Came home and printed a few more...

I'm still too embarrassed about my big screw up to post anywhere. :smash:

And when you are on the strip in Waikiki, there are hawkers trying to get you in the gun ranges to shoot. So nothing wrong with a frigging tourist from Asia possessing and shooting a gun on the range, but massive hassle bringing your own gun in, or heavens forbid, getting a permit.

I completely agree that we should look at groups. I disagree that individual shots don't tell us anything. It's hard to find that proper distance between hitting the target, not getting powder burns, and not having the gases from the gun shred the target. If I hold the target beyond 4-5 feet I...

Full disclosure before I do: 1. It's pretty awesome if you are already an intermediate to good shot. 2. I re-sell the product, because I have found utility in it, but my opinion is not changed because of that. I have no financial interest in the company. 3. We became informal beta testers...

Heh,:) The post it note on the target is what I usually shoot at 45ft. I think there are at least a dozen people on this forum that have seen me shoot that can attest to how well I lie (notice the powder marks!!!!). I was testing a piece of hardware/software (full disclosure, I am a reseller...

I'm guessing all you guys missed the powder burns... :D Did you see the "99.3" on the iPad screen? That was the 3rd best score I ever got on Mantis.

I was pretty pumped to get to the range, had all my gear and stuff, got set up, had all my electronic tools as well. Fired one shot at 45 feet, smack dab in the middle of the target. I looked at the RO, he looked at me, grinned and said - "you might as well pack up now, it's NEVER gonna get...

I am not nit picking sir. :) So folks get a complete picture, can you tell us under what circumstances, if someone is unlawfully in your domicile, deadly physical force is NOT justified?

Hey, you never know. :) A few folks from here have been in some of our defensive pistol courses, knife course, and NRA instructor courses. I have been in courses from a few people here myself, I am still learning every day, and I am so old I forget a lot of stuff (that's what I tell my wife...

Ok Atuoman21, We'd sure appreciate if you can make it. We run a very thorough but fun course.

Hello fellow forum members. We are running the NRA Range Safety Officer Course on Sat Feb 11th, with three slots remaining, in Yonkers. More information on the NRA RSO course here : Range Safety Officer Specifics on the course / registration is here : NRA RSO Course Feb 2017 If you are...

Oh Lord sweet baby Jesus help us. I don't usually wish harm on other people, but if Hillary, DeBlasio, Schumer, Obama, Pelosi and Cuomo were all together in a room, and a small meteorite small enough to erase the fecal stain that they are, but not so big as to cause any collateral injury or...

Thanks for posting this. We know FOR CERTAIN this happened in NY - she probably ordered the gun from Sears or Marshalls, paid for next day shipping, and uh :) ( just a slight jab at the convoluted gun laws that exist in this state) Many years ago, when I had way more enthusiasm than patience...

Holy smokes. I had not read the story. 105 mph...I've gone that fast but it was me being strapped into a passenger seat of an airplane on take off or landing.

You would have had to been there Calculon. They all turned out to be ok in the end, he was fairly way out there on the curve due to previous solid exposure and training. :)

:). Yes, guilty as charged! The course was harder than any of the four participants thought it would be. One I had previously certified for Pistol Instructor and RSO, and it showed, he was up to speed, really very polished on his public speaking skills and knowledge of management of shooting...

Hello Karpteach, We are about to publish our Jan-Jun schedule. Next course should be in Jan.

Unpossible. NY says it takes 6-9 months to check a person out to make sure they paid up all of their library cards back when they were in Elementary School!

Cliff notes: I kept this NRA Chief Range Safety Officer course intentionally small, as it was "sandwiched" between a NRA Basic Pistol Instructor course I was doing, and didn't want a 10hr day between two other 10 hr days. It turned into a 13hr day, and worth every minute of it. Had a trio of...

Article does not say if he started off on the US side or Canada side. He is in for a whole new life ahead of him.

ahem.... Atty running for NRA board files lawsuit in NY re: tasers. :)

:D If I took the same tack the pundits do, clearly HILLARY, by a 3:2 margin over everyone else. They would NEVER, EVER put that horrible, despicable misogynist on the cover. Would they?

Stamboulieh Law, PLLC Complaint is here : http://media.wix.com/ugd/c601ae_2fdbaacef3d540a788118c482fcd32e9.pdf Overview - Today we filed a Complaint against New York over its Taser ban December 6, 2016 On behalf of Matthew Avitabile, Firearms Policy Coalition and Firearms Policy Foundation...

:D:D:D My first inclination is "No way!!!". But I read it, and he makes a whole lotta sense. I don't know what else he's said or done over the years, and I suppose I might not agree with many or any of those positions, but this time he is on the money. Mark Wahlberg says celebrities shouldn't...

I know I am preaching to the choir, but we all need to realize NY, and in particular NYC was built on sleaze, corruption and graft. The majority of what we have for gun laws today were spawn from a criminal out of Tamminy Hall. Corruption used to be a way of life here, and in many ways, it still...

RBean, Good work. I will shake a few shillings from the trees as well to send to you. If you could, please PM me your business name and address.

You meant like solid poo falling from a plane and leaving a smear where she used to be? Is that natural enough? Or natural like in a bolt of lightning, leaving just enough of a toe in a boot so they can run the DNA to verify? Or did you mean natural like swallering her tongue on CSPAN and going...

Hi, I have a third generation Glock 19 for sale. This gun was purchased by me new 8-10 years ago, never shot (on the wild hope my spouse would get into handgun shooting). This gun has "Warner Robbins PD GA" stenciled on the right side of the slide. Gun has steel sights, and everything shown...

Generally, the state tries very hard to break one off into you. Most counties will not accept the reference form if the notary stamp has expired. Some counties will not accept anything (proof of training, references, money orders) that are more than a year old (most bank money orders are only...

Actually I have not, but I heard something about flying unicorns, and all that. On a serious note, I know one person who had legitimate and published threats against their person who got their permit upgraded from BUSINESS PREMISE to full carry. Guy lives in CT, has a store in WC. Phazer...

Ah, I didn't say such a thing about wanting to cover it up. Any logical thought demonstrates that if someone ineligible is on the voter rolls, they are more likely to vote Democrat vs Republican. A recount does not help Trump, or Hillary, or the country. Painful as it may sound, uncovering...

It is a lose lose lose situation for all of us. 1. If the machines were hacked, there is no faith in the USA election process. And we look like a bunch of middle school kids who can't properly secure a computer network. 2. If there is fraud, it would most likely be on the D side, so that comes...

Yep, my early morning coffee deprived math was waaaaay off!

Not how it works Tog. I thought you were in a more northerly county? Or was that Ladder 13 from the other place? Under most circumstances the judical process frowns on judge fishing - it happens, especially when it comes to hearings and trials...and they try to give the appearance it does...

(troll alert)...When I go to bars, I try to limit my drinking so I don't get impaired, as I usually end up being the designated driver. If the law allows, I always carry. I can honestly say I have NEVER been tempted to drink to intoxication while I've been carrying - I've always been able to...

Judge Murphy? Wow, I had no idea - he looks closer to 70 than 80, and I consider myself being able to estimate the age of the elderly based on a bunch of factors. Looked him up, he got his BA in 1963 and his JD in 1966, 40 years ago. In my head if he went direct from high school to college to...

That would depend on where you are. There is no federal requirement for state/local police officers and it is not all LAW ENFORCEMENT officers that carry a "badge". Many only have a LE ID. The article does not say "off duty", it says "plain clothes" which is very much on duty. Some...

Correct. Non NJ residents can bring handguns into NJ for competition, to their hotel rooms, and even move to NJ with those handguns, without notification to the state or action required by the firearms possessor. Now,....assuming as reported is all accurate - 18 USC 926A requires (I feel like...

Easier if I just like this entire thread. I have more than one handgun, more than one shotgun, more than one rifle, more than one muzzle loading rifle, more than one piece of glass, more than one optic, and lord knows more than one holster. Could really do with a new suit, to flesh out the...

I thought this was pretty neat. I have not fished since I was a kid, and even then not a lot, but read the articles and fantasize about when I hit the lotto and being on the boat in the Caribbean 4 months a year. Cuban Fishermen Inflate Condoms to Catch Trophies Necessity is the mother of...

A very great story, and one you can tell for years and years to grand nephews, nieces and kids!

A few towns in NY require retail sales to specify if they are selling new, or used items. Harrison NY is one such example...I know this because the gun store that opened there recently cannot sell used items as they are not licensed to do so, and must make an application to conduct sale of used...

So now he can return to NJ with the gun on his person, and from Exit 1 of the Turnpike to the Port Jervis he would be fine. In fact fine from one end of the union to the other, except its not a union anymore, and different rules for different animals and all that. Turkeys only really need to...

The really funny thing is, everything one of these threads come up I type some stuff that is mostly true, and end up erasing all of it! :)

Is that how it works? I dunno. My understanding is a NICS check is run on the prospective buyer, not a serial check on the gun. Furthermore, guns stolen are not always immediately reported, and often times when reported not immediately entered or entered correctly. In NY the system is set up...

If that gun was acquired illegally by the person sending it to the FFL.

This right here is the best combination of lawful, and efficient.
