Why?

I didn't mean I wouldn't draw, just that I didn't think we could do the "hands up!" thing. If the perp turns to flee before I can get a shot off I'd have to not shoot of course. It's the giving the police-style commands that I thought we couldn't do.

Can non-LEOs do this? I was under the impression that non-LEOs are either defending ourselves with deadly force if we fire or we're brandishing if we don't.

The upper range is for groups. I don't think there's an additional charge for it, just need to clear it with Charlie and reserve it. $40 for a year. $5 for non member per visit (must be with a member) Early on a Sunday wouldn't work for me, but don't let that stop you from meeting. I'll just have to pass.

Just got home and saw my copy of the paper. Front page. Congratulations, Brian.

nah. He's picking his nose with his thumb. It's the 2nd most popular digit to use.

Why should you have to have paid a couple of hundred dollars into a training course and a permit fee to participate at an auction to buy an item that you don't need a permit to buy any place else? It should work like any other purchase from an FFL. Pay the TICS fee and off you go.

I'd thought about it for a while. Sort of a "just because I can" thing. I passed on taking the class with a couple of friends. It wasn't very importnat to me. I didn't own a handgun and was more interested in spending my money on other things. Then my mother-in-law was home when a couple of low-lifes kicked her door down, robbed her at gun point, and placed her on her knees in the bedroom with a gun to the back of her head, execution style. She kept begging and pleading with them to just leave. Finally they did. That's what it took. My wife and I are now both permitted. I shoot as often as possible and now have the rifle and shotgun disease too. I need moooorrrrre!!!!

Kahr FTW. I love my PM9.

Was it a dream where you see yourself standing in sort of sun-god robes on a pyramid with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you?

The polar bears can eat them. Problem solved.

I see them in western Davidson and northern Williamson county all the time. At least 2 or 3 a month now. Used to be 1 every 2 years.

And they have big bags of beef jerky by the registers. Bonus if they've just received fresh jugs of water used in the Culligan cooler by the Pro desk. Oh...and the Blue Rhino propane tanks out front with all the gear you need in the grill section to convert those generators on Aisle 14 to run on that propane.... Don't forget the hidden power-up... vending machines in a lot of the employee break rooms.

Yeah, but don't walk into the middle of the class dressed as a zombie. Some dude with an ink-still-wet HCP might get jumpy.

Bellevue checking in. Basic skills till lingering in the back of my mind from old Civil Air Patrol and Boy Scout days: How to patch a sucking chest wound with a credit card. But you'd better hope for a real medic after that. And Armed Aviator.....what's this "air recon" crap? We're putting some zombie-splattin' cannons on that Banana!

I need to practice drawing more too. An instructor suggested that I pick up some snap-caps for home practice. Is there any point in that? I know it provides a surface for the firing pin to strike, but I've also been told that dry firing won't hurt a modern firearm. Normally, I'm using striker fired arms (Springer XD, Kahr PM9), but also have a Walther P-22* that my wife likes to use (and needs to practice more with). Does that make a difference in the use of snap-caps? Which advice is is correct, and does striker vs. hammer make a difference? *I'd rather her carry something larger, but it's her choice. I'd rather she take the Walther with CCI Stingers than nothing at all.

I know it's not the right choice for everyone or for every gun, but this makes me appreciate my Remora holster that much more. I can disarm without the firearm ever leaving the holster, and rearm without having to slip it back in the holster. The whole thing, gun+holster, always stays together. Same as what nysos describes, but without having to work a belt clip.

Here's the Joint Staff Report from Sen. Grassley's office for those who like to read government documents. http://grassley.senate.gov/judiciary/upload/ATF-07-26-11-Report-on-Impact-on-Mexico.pdf

I love that one of the commentors wants to know when the police seizure auction is.

Why did you repeat yourself?

I stand corrected. Thanks. But either way, the point is the same. It's required by law. The employer can't decide to not pay it to lower costs like they can with 401(k) matching, health insurance, long-term disability insurance, paid vacations, etc.
