Nope, Harvey Milk didn't rub off on me that much. Why must you do that to me? Again?

Somehow I knew I was gonna catch some doo-doo for bringing up such a topic. I haven't really seen it discussed around here, but I would have to assume there is a fair amount of anti-gay folks lurking around. The whole "gay thing" doesn't bother me, either way. If it will help my cause any, I do plan on cleansing myself by finally watching Gran Torino.

Hey, I'm definitely one of those who've spent more time bitching about someone trying to take away my 2A rights, and not a lot (other than joing the NRA) of anything productive. I do need to do something about that. But after a day or two, the warm and fuzzy feeling I got from watching the movie will be gone,, and everything will be back to normal. Carry on.

Not going to flame, but I would highly recommend you find a firearm you can trust. Afterall, you are trusting your LIFE with it. There are too many possible scenarios which you'd be unable to rack your slide, or unable to rack your slide fast enough. That 1 second can be the difference between life and death. It wouldn't be the first time.

I'm a big an of true stories and biographical films. Milk was a great movie. Extremely inspiring. Though I couldn't be further from being a homosexual, Harvey Milk had heart that many of us could only dream of having. He believed in something, and no one was going to stop him. If even a very small percentage of us Second Amendment supports had his kind of heart, we'd have very little worry of our rights being stripped away. We wouldn't stand for it. Not even a little bit.

No one?

Pistol ammo is behind the counter. The truck came a little while ago, but were just getting it on the shelves when I was there. They should have quite a bit now. I had to ask for the 000 buck, and they were nice enough to go in the back for me.

Yes! Is there any other way?

Just left Academy in Rivergate. They were rolling out carts full of ammo. Don't expect to find any .380, though. Someone came in 15 minutes after the delivery truck, and walked away with everything that came in. Lots of 38, 9mm, 40, 45. Several brands. No 10mm, 12 gauge 00 buck or slugs. I got the 000 buck that came in on the truck. One step closer to what I was looking for, I am. Can someone add "Rivergate" to the title? Thanks.

Thanks for all the helpful info, guys. I will look into some of the cheap and/or do-it-yourself upgrades.

I was wondering if anyone was interested in splitting some 10mm ammo. At a quick glance, Georgia Arms has "New Canned Heat" 10mm 180gr Full Metal Jacket 500pk for $200. If you know of a better deal, I'm open to those as well.

Since he mentioned Academy's brand, I would have to assume Academy Sports & Outdoos.

That reminds me. I'm not sure how much it matters, but she was shooting CCI Mini Mags. I did have some CCI Green Tags, but she didn't get to those.

Yea, I got her some of those triple spinner targets to make things a little more entertaining for her. Because they don't allow them, she wasn't able to use them at Owl Hollow, but I plan on taking them along to our next trip out to Gallatin Gun Club.

The Bushnell is mounted on a weaver-style base with Kwik Site rings. That's what they had at Academy.

I have a Bushnell 3-9x40 on it now.

Man, I'm having a difficult enough time supporting my own gun and ammo habit. My girlfriend will have to take up coupon clipping as her favorite pastime. Congrats!

We've been going over the safety aspect of the rifle since her birthday. She retained some of it, but closely supervised hands-on experience is what really helps her the most. I had to keep reminding her of a few things during the range session, but she was catching on. She will not have access to the rifle unless I'm next to her at all times. Thanks for the upgrade tips. I'll look into some of those.

What scope would you suggest?

Let's say that someone (no, not me) was busted for shoplifting an item with a value of roughly $50. They were charged with Theft Under $500. The theft occured while said person was legally carrying a firearm. Will the fact that this person was carrying a firearm while committing result in the loss of his/her HCP and/or ability to buy a firearm in the future? After all the paperwork was finished, the police returned the firearm to the owner, but mentioned that they were going to ask the judge to revoke his/her HCP. The gun was not used in any way during the shoplifting, only carried.

First of all, I am just now getting into the world of rifles, so I am plenty ignorant on the subject. As some of you know, I recently gave my 10 year old daughter her very first rifle. A pink Ruger 10/22. I also put a cheap (about $45) Bushnell 3x9x40 scope on it. Well, thanks to a gracious invite from a fellow TGOer, she was able to finally shoot her new rifle at Owl Hollow. Being far from a rifle expert, I thought she did an amazing job. For the most part, she was shooting at a target that had a "bullseye" that was 4" in diameter. Not the smallest, I know. I didn't want her to get discouraged first trip ever shooting a gun. At 50 yards, 97 of 100 rounds were in that 4" circle. She was using an el cheapo adjustable front rifle rest, and an even cheaper bean bag style rear rest. Nothing fancy about it. My quetion is; How accurate can I expect her to shoot with this stock 10/22? I don't expect her to be a markswoman right away, but I'd like to get a general idea of what to expect. She has a lot to learn (so do I) as far as the basic fundamentals go, but I'm sure some upgrades will be necessary in the future. I have high hopes of her taking a serious interest in shooting sports, and my main concern is her getting too discouraged with her progress, and decide to call it quits. I know it's very early in the process, but I'm trying to think ahead. Bottom Picture: Yes, I'm aware that the barrel is not properly placed on the rest. She was only posing for this picture. Also, I'm looking for someone who's willing and able to teach her and I about the fundamentals of properly shooting a rifle. If it helps any, I am a member at Gallatin Gun Club, and plan on getting a membership at Owl Hollow. Being so close, GGC would be far more convenient for her an I, but I'm open on locations.

Fancy? I prefer the term Bad A$$. Nevertheless, the Marine Magnum is now Head of Security around the house. And a fine job it's doing.

Can I join, just so I can learn all the cool handshakes?
