New Guy

I have seen a few Retro Grade shotguns out there, but just for recreational use the price is a bit steep. Just wondering if anyone had any experience with the Turkish made shotguns? Seems like reviews are all over the place. thanks

Going to chime in for Wilson Mags as well. After all why skimp on Magazines.

Well I am looking into trying a wedge. Most of my pants sizes are indirectly more than two to three sizes too big in the waist now so that is covered. I Ordered a crossbreed holster, so I am going t9 give it a try. Biggest th8 g seems to be getting the Grip closer to my side.

Just wondering if anyone has had any success with it? Seems to me it would be a tall order to fill unless it was Fall or Winter. I am just not a fan of even giving the slightest hint that one may be armed.

Well we had our home study visit tonight it went well. It was not nearly as invasive as I was expecting. She still wanted to see inside the safe but we set very clear boundaries upfront in that she was not going to come into our home and have free run. My wife is a teacher so she gets to see a lot of foster kids which seems odd for being in a middle to upper class area. We came to find out that the initial home study writer was not comfortable in rural areas. I have had professional interactions with our case worker in the past, so we know each other and have a good rapport. She is a good person and is one of the few that cares about the kids.

Sounds like you have seen a lot. We keep asking our selves if it’s going to be worth the headache and we hope that we can make a difference . We most likely will be getting a placement that is a middle school age child. We are told that is the biggest need right now. Have to say it’s a bit odd talking about fostering on a Gun Owners forum, guess we are destroying the narrative that all gun owners are evil terrible people.

Thank you we have put up with a lot of …. From having to listen a rabidly anti trump podcast that was playing in the background while she was teaching the materials. I was the only one that asked her to mute it because I was not here to listen to her politics I was here to complete the class. I don’t care if she wants Bugs bunny for President it’s not relevant. i think the only reason the local dcs worker reached out to us is because I was a pia, and did not tolerate coming home early from work two times for the home study meeting in which she cancelled 5 minutes prior to start time. Her response was we will reschedule and understand Fostering is a privilege! That was the last straw

Thank you.

So normally my risk profile includes avoiding social media. However after a brief introduction I would really appreciate some assistance. As my research is yielding little productive information. so here goes we live in unincorporated Wilson County and raise livestock . We are fortunate enough to have a range on our property. And enjoy plinking as well as serious training. My edc is a STI Lawman which has had Trijicon HD sights put on it , ridge cuts in the top of the slide and ceracoted black slide and OD green frame, bug is a P365 ankle carry weather permitting and pocket carry in the summer, I refuse to be that guy that ankle ,carries wearing shorts. Now my question if anyone would care to offer up advice or perhaps may have some experience with dealing with DCS. We have recently jumped through extensive hoops and a rather extensive invasion of privacy to get this far. We had an initial home study writer that was demanding not only were the firearms to be locked in a safe, no problem there we do that any way, however she was insisting on recording the actual number of firearms we own and recording serial numbers. At that point we were like ok you won you have not only missed appointments with us failed to show up for meetings etc now we were at our breaking point and said no we are out. Youn have successfully driven us away, we can help in some other way. Well about a week later we get a call from DCS wanting to know why we withdrew. Well we told them that we were not going to participate in a an illegal gun registry! We were then informed that the former Study writer had gone completely off the reservation and other than looking in the safe there was no requirement to record serial numbers. They asked us to reconsider . Understanding that both my wife and I have clearances that involve far more invasive background checks , than the cursory checks done by dcs. We had our follow up phone call with a new study writer and she wants to come out to visit in person as we have done the online interviews. We were thinking of simply leaving the two shotguns and our Henry 22lr in the safe. To be exact she asked how many firearms we owned, I don’t see the relevance to this question? And technically other than my STI my other 1911 is issues not owned so there is that. any advice would be appreciated
