    Shootout near Onondaga county, officers down

    It was an impressive and touching procession as they transported Officer Jensen from Syracuse to the funeral home in Rome today. Sad though.

    Sneaky Pete Holsters

    I have a Bulldog vinyl "cell phone" holster that is similar to the SP but is oriented horizontally instead of vertically. Was cheap, but fits my needs for my morning dog walks. I got it for hot weather primarily when IWB is more difficult to conceal IMO. First time wearing it a guy who I used...

    DONE Free tires

    Nice to offer them up for free, but also keep in mind that you may be able to sell them to Mavis or on Craigslist, or if you're on Facebook you can sell on FB Marketplace. I've been selling a few items on Marketplace lately, seems to work out ok.

    Businesses That Allow Carry in NYS - UPDATED By Counties

    Here's a few more for the Oneida County list: Runnings in Rome, Tractor Supply in Rome, and today I went to Nora's Candy Shop in Rome and she has several signs: front door, in the entryway, on the wall next to the counter, behind the counter, maybe even more that I missed. She also has a Sig...

    Best 1911 Under $1000?

    Do you have one from Oriskany Arms? If yes, what are your thoughts? Thinking of ordering one some day, I like the locally manufactured "vibe" if you will since they are so close to where I live. Spoke with a salesman there once & he offered that I could go there and tour the place, and if I...

    Visualizing change in ammo prices during covid

    Yesterday I bought a 150 round range box of Federal 5.56 NATO at Utica Bass Pro for $100.00 + tax so about $0.66/round before tax which is pretty close to that chart. Better than $1.00/round I paid mail order a few months back. I also learned about Lake City - I had never seen cartridges...

    Ammo supply is spotty

    Thanks for these links. The first one is broken but that site does indeed have some ammo in stock and ship anywhere in NY. Prices are high of course but at least it's a source.

    pp office limited hours

    I got to the Oneida county office building at 3:15 yesterday in hopes of adding my new sw22 but deputy who met me at the door said they close at 1 now. Albany fingerprint processing is currently shut down due to ppl out due to covid. I'll call Monday to try to verify their hours but deputies...

    My son caught a huge channel catfish camping this weekend

    That's a great spot in that park to watch the sunsets. Fishing right there from shore I presume? Using what for bait?

    Building an AR15 with fixed mag and a featureless AR 9mm

    Whatchu talkin about willis? Gun shops around here (Utica/Rome area) are operating. I think they are limited hours and maybe curbside pickup, but advertising on FB guns & ammo for sale just about every day. AR lowers left & right and are being snapped up quickly. And then there's Runnings...

    first time firing my AR15

    So took my few months old rifle out to the range yesterday, didn't get a round off due to not remembering how to load the compmag and rookie move of trying to manually feed a round into the chamber like I can with my pistols, ended up with a shell stuck up in the top of the upper somewhere that...

    More women with pistol permits

    I think it's a good thing to have them on one another's permit, if something happens to either of you then the other doesn't have to deal with possible confiscation of any that aren't on the permit. I've got my wife convinced that's a good idea but she's dragging her feet about taking the...

    Parts is Parts

    I'm referring to the lower receiver; are you saying Anderson lowers are crappy? That's not what I've heard/read. The gunsmith who is going to build my rifle suggested Anderson or Aero, said finish can be more consistent on Aero but either will do the job.

    Thanks for all the info on this thread. Got a bonus from work so I've earmarked some of that toward my first AR rifle. Shopping for a lower receiver now, want to support a LGS if possible but Runnings (semi local at least) has Anderson priced $45 (similar to online), but unfortunately...

    Some if not all of the guns are 25% off. I'm thinking of picking up a Savage A22 (regular model) which is now $187 & change. They have some larger rifles and some shotguns left too at the Rome store. Edit - adding in that I asked if they have a set closing date and the cashier said no, it's...

    Herb Philipsons sorting goods store

    50% off ammo when I went to the Rome store today. Guns I think said 20% off, not sure. No 9mm ammo that I saw, I picked up some 380 speer gold dot for under $18 which compared to online is a good deal. I may go get more. They have a fair amount of 22 ammo too, short and LR but I think their...

    Ruger Precision Rifle in NY

    Off topic but be careful if you drive down Rt. 26 in the winter, the ditch between my yard and Rt. 26 tends to suck in Fort Drum folks who aren't so used to driving in NY winters!

    Homeowner Arrested After Shooting Burglars With Illegal Gun

    The DA was on the radio this morning discussing the case. At this point they are still investigating but so far they've been able to verify much of his story as truth. If they don't find any other holes in his story then it could very well be that the killings were justified. At this point he...

    Letting Unsecured Gun Get Stolen Is Enough To Lose License To Carry, Massachusetts Court Rules

    When my permit was issued (Oneida county) they told me do NOT leave my pistol in my vehicle, because if it's in my vehicle I do not have control of it. In other words the vehicle could get stolen, etc. Our issuing judge would not look too favorably on that.
