    Why would a fixed mag be considered a range toy?

    This particular one and mean arms brand, yes. Practice reloading with this at speed every time I go to the range, potentially weekly, along with dry fire drills with light and laser daily.

    Why would a fixed mag be considered a range toy?

    And with speed loaders ( BF10, Mean arms) yes, regularly around 2 seconds or so

    Well thought out and explained. Truly, thank you.

    Why would a fixed mag be considered a range toy?

    True, there is no doubt about your ammo statement. But I've timed my loader reloading at around 2 seconds or so, I would believe similar to a mag change. And as to its going against the original design of the rifle, I also somewhat agree, but a featureless could be considered the same thing...

    Why would a fixed mag be considered a range toy?

    Fair point. I have had 3 jams early on, within the 1st month, and none since. To me, easily attributed to user errors. None since mid may, and I shoot weekly if possible. What would be the other reasons?

    Why would a fixed mag be considered a range toy?

    Again, new and still learning, but a serious question. Specifically speaking of fixed mags in AR Safe Act compliant rifles. All the information/ statistical data I was able to gather prior to my purchase has stated that the average self defense encounter tends to discharge between 3-7 rounds...

    Be on alert in Rochester - Video released in black mans death

    If I recall correctly, the last true protest was intended to shut down one of the major thruways on a Friday during rush hour. It rained, and the protests shriveled, hiding under a bridge to keep dry. It turned into nothing, and hope it does again.

    Uncle Joe does it again (saying something dumb about covid or something. Stop using bad generic titles. Say what it's actually about)

    This is truly sad. My condolences. My wife and I went through a nearly identical situation with my FIL with dementia before he passed, but ended with him and I on an oddly positive note. My FIL and I rarely saw eye to eye, disagreeing most of the time. He was a former Buffalo police officer...

    Protests occurred yesterday, nothing came of it. Wouldn't be surprised if nothing occurred today either.

    Be on alert in Rochester - Video released in black mans death

    Work in Rochester. Thought the same thing, today would be difficult. Far front it. Potentially the prompt actions of the commissioner and mayor ( not my favorite, but she still is mayor) could make the difference in rioting outcomes and lack thereof. The delayed release of the video is due to...

    Steel cased ammunition pros and cons, experiences?

    My bad for not clarifying. Brass recycling is a revenue stream for a range, not strictly sales of ammunition.

    I would honestly check Runnings first. They always seem to have 22 in stock everytime I've been there

    Ammunition found locally today

    Sportsman's warehouse in Henrietta did receive ammunition today, but haven't received 233, 5.56 or 9mm. As of yesterday, Runnings of Brockport has none of these either.

    Hey folks. Moving to NYS soon.

    Pre application. Have to wait out reference requirements ( 3 years, only known people in county 2 1/2). Patience is a virtue I guess.

    Hey folks. Moving to NYS soon.

    Yeah its funny that way. I understand. Originally from erie county, and its different from Erie to Monroe. Wait time is vastly different across counties also. My understanding is that pre covid, monroe was running anywhere from 6-10 months. Conversely, I was told Allegheny County could be...

    Hey folks. Moving to NYS soon.

    I'm good with waiting. Not too much longer anyway. Feburary for me. Paperwork in hand, no worries. Waiting is actually beneficial in my situation.

    Hey folks. Moving to NYS soon.

    My issue isn't with being a resident of NYS for 3 years, I'm well beyond that by decades, but having 4 references from within the county I live in that have known me for 3 years. Sure, one could hire an attorney, layout tons of $$$, potentially lose and just be back at square one, or just...

    Hey folks. Moving to NYS soon.

    Know this is an older thread and post but wanted to post a small correction. Your references ( for Monroe county) must have known you for a minimum of 3 years. Have the permit applied in hand, and stated on it. Playing the waiting game myself.

    Since there isn't a load a header a vertical header isn't neccessary. The horizontal 2x4 is sufficient, and more cost effective

    Used to live in Buffalo. How have the "protests" been? I can say from what I've observed, I may be wrong, but almost non existent in Rochester.

    So I'm still unsure about what the arm hole guy was doing. Was he there in support of the rioters, or was he there in support of the shooter, just wrong place, wrong time thing?

    Multiple rioters shot in Kenosha by armed citizens.

    Agreed. @Chevusa might have further insight as to the legal views on it. I believe justification falls within " what a reasonable person believes is an imminent threat of serious bodily harm or death ". Took a handgun class in Rochester taught by a former Sheriff. He stated that in NY case law...

    Multiple rioters shot in Kenosha by armed citizens.

    Wouldn't anything that could cause great bodily harm or death be considered a deadly weapon? Baseball bat, hammers, all included amongst the FBI statistics in homicides. I think a skateboard could be construed as a deadly weapon along with a pool cue.

    Honest question as I have never served- isn't there an old saying in the military that "you have a handgun so that you can fight your way back to your rifle "? Kids have/ currently serve/served. They have said that to me several times.
