    New pistol shooters wanted, Sun Nov 13, Blue Mtn Sportsman Center

    When I was taking Pistol 102 up at Sig, I figured everyone would be around the same level of experience. One dude was just an awesome shot, very fast, very smooth, etc. I asked him about his shooting background, and he said he was a cop, something else LEO, and now he's a DEA agent. I asked him...

    Permits cover all counties (Except NYC), correct?

    Since I started carrying, I'll often throw my wallet on the seat next to me, or the center console, because the muzzle of my gun makes it hard to get to my wallet when sitting. Fortunately this time, it was sitting in my cupholder

    Permits cover all counties (Except NYC), correct?

    I wasn't going to mention the gun originally, since we have no duty to inform. However, I didn't want to outright lie though and get him upset. Even if I did nothing wrong, he could still make me get out, breathlyze me, etc and basically just cause me more trouble than it was worth. And if...

    Permits cover all counties (Except NYC), correct?

    I had ZERO idea this was a law, thank you. He did straight up ask if there were guns in the car. It seems he tried to bait me with the "were you shooting" hoping I'd say "Yes, I have my gun with me" but failed, so he asked outright He was younger, maybe 30, 35 at most. And I definitely agree...

    I think I will start with 9mm to avoid having to trim cases, plus I shoot a casual IDPA type event every week, so that's probably 500 rounds of 9mm a month right there. I also have a .357 Sig but I'm not sure I want to deal with trying to reload that..... Next will be 5.56, and definitely .308...

    Time/effort to reload .223/5.56

    I actually figured I'd start without any feeders, so I could treat it like a single stage, and manually load the cases and bullets. This way I'll be more involved and keep an eye on things, rather than just pulling a handle. So I'd basically load one case by hand, go through the stages, load...
