"Let's go break into that big mansion out there in the open up on that hill. Yeah, yeah, the one owned by the richest SOB in this part of the state, that NRA director guy. Should be a piece of cake." Yes, kids, there is a drug problem in this country.

I have an idea how this may be enforced. It has already been stated to the county clerks that, once the recertification period (whatever that is) is over, the NYSP will send a list of those people who did comply to the various county clerks. I think the simplest way for the clerks to deal with...

Oh hell, just work off of what you have trained your body to do all those years. That stance will work well for you. Under pressure you will revert to your most ingrained training anyhow so just work with it. High speed shooting is just a matter of efficiency, economy of motion. Figuring out...

Yeah, that is pretty much it but let me elaborate a bit to be clear. And keep in mind that this is just what has worked for me and you will have to experiment to see what works for you. In my normal two handed shooting my feet are about shoulder width apart and my right foot (I'm right handed)...

From what you say here it sounds as though you were using a two hand grip but holding the gun in your left hand rather than your right hand as you would normally do. If so, let me run a few thoughts by you............. If someone told you that you would be expected to shoot with your weak hand...

He had the correct lead, though. Right in the heart. Wonder what kind of truck it was. Ford vs. Chevy vs. Dodge vs. Jap in 3......... 2......... 1...........

Hell, I bet you're close to retirement if your dad is 84. You don't need any allowance. And we can negotiate on the rest. But seriously --- you get some mega points for doing that. He must have been a helluva a dad to you as you were growing up.

dub, once the adoption is complete and you start work on my stand, I'd appreciate it if you kept these thoughts in mind. An ergonomic swivel captain's chair with reclining back would be great so I don't strain my neck looking out the side windows. Electric and cable are a must, of course. And...

^^^ Gotcha

I'm curious, what did I say that made you cringe?

I appreciate the offer but I really don't want to assemble it myself. I don't do the brakes on my car either. LOL I'm reminded of Oddball's line in Kelly's Heroes when the tank broke down --- I only ride 'em, I don't know what makes 'em work. I'd rather just pay someone for their time and...

Damn man, you built that box stand for your dad?????????? Can I adopt you for a year or so? That looks well built and really, really nice of you. Good son.

I'm just spitballing an idea here and am not having a lot of luck finding an answer online to part of it. I'm thinking of a flat-top 7.62 x 39 upper with 18" - 20" barrel = probably crowned, definitely no flash hider - keeping it "compliant". I'm not seeing anything like this listed with any...

LOL. We have 2 guns in common, I see. Damned old IPSCers. Is that a 4" 610?

^^^^^ Page 15, lines 11-13 ‘‘(46) The term ‘pistol grip’ means a grip, a thumb-hole stock, or any other characteristic that can function as a grip. This is pretty all-encompassing, isn't it?

This guy checks off all the boxes............ Conservative Church going Christian NRA member & former instructor Coached a youth shooting league Whole family rides Harleys Grabs an AR to protect others And he's growing his Santa Claus beard for his church's annual program to help the needy...

Sorry, double posted.

Miles, you're damned right I live in fear. I live in fear of the ineptitude of bureaucracy. Whether that bureaucracy is the US Postal Service that routinely loses or misdirects mail or the government employee that misplaces a form I sent in or the NYSP that just does as they are told or the...

"Sir, the reason I pulled you over is your vehicle registration sticker appears to be out of date. I ran a records check on your license plate and our records show that, indeed, you failed to renew your registration." A - "Officer, the state is supposed to notify my when my renewal is due and I...

Just an FYI................ I don't know how it works with a paper recertification but if you do it online there is a link to check the status of the process. It will either be "your recertification is being processed" or "your next recertification is xx/xx/xxxx". Now, it is possible that this...

Nope, really didn't. Never owned a bow. Thought all fell under "firearm" definition and the same distance requirements. Thanks for that info.

I read somewhere that this town ordinance restricts the hunting to at least 150' from any dwelling. I wonder how that can supercede the 500' distance set by the DEC for discharge of a firearm - and under DEC regulations a bow is a firearm, isn't it?

Keying off this thread Stop the Bleed - free seminar at Paladin Center, Carmel, NY - 11/01/17 I thought I would put some questions out there. Do you have a trauma kit? (being defined as something used to stop the bleeding from a "serious" wound ie. gunshot, knife wound - something more than a...

I have seen reviews by guys like us that have taken this course and they recommend it highly. I'd like to take one as a refresher.

Aaaahhhh, GCL Wednesday nights. A friend used to call it the primordial pool of competition shooting. Just be careful who you associate with there -- some bad influences. Especially the tall guy with lots of grey hair & beard. Tell him the NICE guy asked if he knows anyone named...

@Edwardteach72 here's my advice based on many years of competition experience. First, you might want to stick with just handgun competition to begin with. You might be better served to learn the ins & outs of 1 discipline before branching out to multi-gun. I say "keep it simple" and learn and...

Ooops -- missed one...................

How to convert your ghost gun to full auto ---- Not following the full auto directions --- Body armor --- Is the military right for you --- Automatic ammo and new gadgetry --- Enjoy

He also offers very good advice to those young men considering joining the military. New truck, paid American war-fighter, stripper wife -- vs. -- video games, no prospects, callused hands. Straight talk for every lost young man out there.

Set your bench up by Pioneer Road so you can drive right up to it?

Gotta do a slight hijack to do a shout-out to a late friend. Back in the olden days ('80-90's) there was a USPSA club called Geneva Practical Shooters and at the end of the season they would hold a "Junkyard Dog" match which was 3 gun in a way -- bring a pistol, a rifle, a shotgun as there...

Does anyone have contact information for the Lieutenant that heads the NYSP Pistol Permit Bureau? Email address preferably but I will take a phone number if that is all you have. I know I have seen it published somewhere but damned if I can find it. I assume a FFL / NYS dealer would have it. I...

ATLANTA, Georgia -- Police say a boy found a gun in a dressing room at an Atlanta mall and it fired when the mother pulled the trigger to see if it was real. Police: Mom fires gun found at mall to see if it was real I can't think of anything to add to this except...

What are the strangest, stupidest, goofiest things you know of that caused someone to be disqualified from a competitive match? I'll start with one, sorry for the length. I didn't actually see this - I was on the arbitration committee after the shooter appealed his DQ. This was a national...

Some frustrated SJW in Detroit searched the city and could find nary a single Confederate statue to deface. Undeterred they eventually found another famous white supremacist to protest.................... Dozens demonstrate in Detroit against white supremacy, Christopher Columbus

218bee --- that's a nice set-up. That mount is slick.

+1 on the Burris. The FF3 has 4 intensity settings - high, medium, and low plus one that adjusts to ambient light. You can turn it on to the ambient setting, holster the gun under your shirt or whatever, and forget about it for the next 7 hours or so. (Burris says 8 hours to the automatic...

My experience with the old GI mags is the same. Clean them up and they will work just fine. And I find they give a smoother reload than any kind of 30 rounders due to their straight design. To me an AR is just a big pistol with a longer reach. When it runs dry keep the gun shouldered, hit the...

I wish they were doing monthly matches like this but the only one they have listed on PractiScore at this point is Aug. 12th. One of the guys on my squad is a member and did say they do 3 stage matches in the evening on the first Tuesday of the month. I got the impression these were unofficial...

Disclaimer: I wasn't really watching the time so take this with a grain of salt. Shooting started about 9:30. Registration was open when I arrived at 8:45. I think we were done shooting about 12 o'clock, maybe a little after. Might have been 12:30 but no later. A huge plus for the club is they...

It has been a lot of years since I shot a match at this club. I tried to shoot one of their Steel Challenge matches last year but, unfortunately, the match got cancelled due to a scheduling conflict. Last Saturday there were no conflicts and they put on a great match. A new bunch of guys have...

Damn. Asked a simple question and look what happened. Just kidding. jlnjake your contribution here is simply awesome. Thank you.

Sounds like you were in a typical NC pawn/gun shop. LOL Most of the pawn shops down there are half gun shop. And you're right about their skittishness. I talked with one shop owner down there and he wouldn't even consider shipping to a NY FFL. Said he had no idea what was NY legal and didn't...

Looks like you nailed it. Must be the 15 round mag. Thanks for the info.

I don't know how many of you have been watching the Son on AMC. It's a pretty interesting show so far starring Pierce Brosnan as Eli McCullough and is set in two time periods --- Eli in 1915 as the patriarch of a cattle ranching family in South Texas and Eli in 1849 as a teenager captured by the...

Half a century ago I spent a lot of time helping to control access to an area where we did not want entry by unauthorized foreigners. Our methods and equipment were pretty crude by today's standards. We had bunkers and watch towers every so often. We had field telephones for communications. We...

For those of you who have already received a pistol permit recertification notice in the mail --- did the envelope it came in have "Do Not Forward" on it? Thanks

Glenn - thanks for posting. Like kev74 I just did a Christmas gift subscription. One of those "perfect" gifts that jumps up once in awhile.

Thanks, Greywolf
