I thinbk the class was adequate for it's purpose. IMO, the most important qualification for a permit is the fact that you're law abiding. The video is pitiful, but serves its purpose. I even think the range test was adequate. Certainly not a challenge for somebody like me that's been shooting all their life, but it's good enough to tell if somebody can hit a man size target with the first gun they've ever held.

I have a Browning X Bolt .243, and I love it. I have the hunter, which is light enough. The trigger is great out of the box. Great recoil pad, and great removable mag. I had to put a Jewel trigger in my 700 before I was happy with it. That added 200 bucks to the cost of the rifle. I hear that Savage has the best stock trigger, and they tend to be real accurate.

You can't kill a zombie with one shot. That's what makes them so much fun

I have a Mini that came from the factory with the ATI stock. It has the shorter barrel. Couple of things... You may want to take a look at this: The Original Barrel Strut for Mini-14s The blued version of the Mini can lock up due to corrosion around the gas piston. I discovered this after a long session at Stones River on a rainy day. Brought the rifle home and didn't clean it. Got it out a few weeks later and the bolt was stuck shut because of powder residue and rust around the gas piston. I'm not sure this happens with all blued Minis, but you can find discussions about it on some of the forums. So... when I take the Mini out, I lock the bolt open until I can give it a good cleaning. With the ATI stock and a scope, you have to remove the phillips screws in the hand guard to disassemble the rifle (you knew that).

I should have said that I like all the JD products too, but it gives me serious heartburn. Black, Gentleman, and Single Barrel.

Woodford used to be my regular whiskey. I still love it, but now I'm a Booker's guy.

It depends on the situation, but probably my Mini 14. 12 ga. ammo is too bulky.

Pretty convincing case for ball ammo. I don't carry my LCP, but it stays loaded with Gold Dots. I'm going to load it with FMJ's, and save the Gold Dots for my next frog hunt.

My 1911 and my CZ P01. I'm having a tough time deciding which one I like better. I like my P22 as well (if I'm being attacked by a rabbit).

I agree with all of the above. If it is something more than a visible problem with electrolytic capacitors, it will challenge your electonics skills. Keep in mind that all electrolytics are not created equal. There's more to it than matching value, working voltage, and physical size. For example, some capacitors will overheat in switching supply circuits. I've never had any luck finding a decent parts supplier in Mempho. May need to go to a real parts house, like DigiKey Corp. | Electronic Components Distributor | United States Home Page. Digikey is like Midway. Same day shipping, and should make it to Memphis in a couple of days with UPS ground.

MEMPHIS!!! The douchebag needs to fix Memphis

Well, it looks like he has found a few like-minded idiots that are cheering him on. I'm gonna say it one more time... I wish he would pull some of his crap in Memphis.

If that's true, he should be a Walmart greeter instead of governor

I put wood grips on my 637. The hated factory rubber grips

Nobody has been a jerk to me, but I've bumped into a couple that didn't know what they were talking about. Again, I normally know what I'm looking for when I walk in. I buy my handguns elsewhere.

Spoolie, I think it's a mall thing. I carried in there a couple of weeks ago, and I always look for signs. I always use the front entrance.

I have bought a few long guns and a bunch of scopes there, but always did my research before I went in. Some of the guys are shooters, and some know very little.

Posted to my Facebook profile. Doubt that I'll hear many comments from the Left side of my friends list.

This is great!

I agree. No matter how you feel about Obama, he knows that gun control is not smart politics. I bought a bunch of guns last year to help drive up the sales numbers. 14 million guns was a statement. The ammo shortage was a statement. I think he'll sty away from it, and stick with the stuff he has a chance of winning.

The first generation S&W autos (like the one in my avatar) can go off if you drop them. One of the main resons they designed the second generation. It's 30 years old, but still works real well. I've never dropped mine, but they had some incidents with LEO's when it was the current generation. There's no firing pin blocker. It has a half cock.

Sure, if there was a price advantage. There really was a shortage, so I can't fault anybody for stocking up. If you're talking about opportunists, the current market prices will take care of them.

That's what I was getting at. If the law didn't exist, it would be easier for an attorney to take the case on a percentage of the winnings, and the poor shooter would have to pony up cash for the defense.

I'm thinking practically, but not exactly in that way. They need a lawer too, and one may be less likely to do this kind of suit in typical ambulance chaser fashion. Going to be interesting to watch. The law was written for a reason, and one would think that it will most likely have the desired effect in a lot of cases.

It also says that the court will award all the costs to you (the shooter), so at least the stakes will be a lot higher for a person that sues. if they lose, they gotta pay for the whole shebang.
