I was worried about that. I started my NRA membership at the beginning of this year but haven't received my card yet. I have emails with my membership number, though.
I'd greatly appreciate that, sir. PM me?
That's a fantastic offer, thank you! We should definitely arrange a time for that. I'll actually be at the March 1st meeting of OTGC to start up my membership. Dad's been a member for years.
Looking into Parabellum.. The rates are reasonable and we'd like to go. But very few of the available rental firearms are of interest. Kinda on a limb here, but is there anywhere else in the area that would have some of the more obscure items for rental (PPS, S&W 3913, etc)? As it stands, we'd...
Thank you all. And thank you for the recommendation on Parabellum. We're planning a trip to head up (over) there in the next month. The deal is, I cover the trip and I'll pay half of whichever she picks out for her birthday. (No straw purchases or anything.. and she's a proper person. I'll just...
I hadn't thought of the Walther, thanks! And I agree with both of you that would be ideal. I'll have to see if I can arrange a trip. We're on the Ohio border, so getting a babysitter for a trip to Indy or Cincinnati is a lot harder than to the local range. But it could be a fun day out for us...
Good afternoon, INGO!
I've infected my significant other with the shooting bug. Not much more than a year ago, she had never owned a gun or been to the range. Now she encourages ammo purchases and, when the box starts to get full, gets excited about a trip to the range.
More than that...
I've been following this thread since I heard the news on Justice Scalia. I have been trepidatious to throw in my :twocents:. There's a lot of anger here, and I get it. I'm scared for our country, too.
I've been on the fence as to my vote for our next President. I can't in good conscience...
Here's where the law and I get into problems.. Not to derail an already off the tracks thread ;)
Six years ago, I also made the idiotic decision to get behind the wheel of a vehicle after drinking. Unlike the situation the OPs narrative lays out as a minor offense, I was blasted. I had...
Thank you all for your varied responses. This situation has definitely given me, and the staff at that store, a lot to ponder.
To continue with that thought, Jetta (et al)... I have personally been robbed at gunpoint 5 times at a completely different location (some couple of years ago). In...
Owner's policy is full compliance and no interference with a robbery. However, they do allow CC with permit. No clear company policy on use of said weapon, but I would assume in defense of your own life, hostage situation, etc. I tend to agree with what's been said so far.. Just curious as to...
I work in a retail environment run very much like a small business. Typically 1-2 personnel on the clock at any one time. Often you are out on the floor helping customers or performing some cleaning task, rather than standing behind the cash register. At another of our stores, recently, a...
I was reading through this thread just to see if this had been mentioned yet! I'm glad it had been, but here's my +1 to that. I thought it was really well done for as small of a movie as it was.
Ah, I gotcha now. Bit slow on the uptake this afternoon, I guess. Fair point. Just another mark against the exercise as unrealistic or unscientific. I don't disagree.
I still found it to be an interesting watch and I'm glad that the adage is being tested, even if imperfectly, and holding true...
