Its hard for me too family house jobs friends ect ect. I live in the town i grew up in. Love it. Love the land, lakes mountains deep woods. Its all getting developed now, Things are changing and i dont want my someday kids living in this pussified hell hole called NY.
Its been above freezing one day in Feb? i usually shoot a few thousand rounds a month, nothing for this month lol. Been too cold and too windy. I still plow my shooting range tho!!
Took the AK snackbar to the range yesterday. Son and I put over 200 rounds through it without one single hiccup. It's my new favorite rifle out of the rest. I thought the ammunition I had was steal core (not allowed at the NRA range) so I bought ammo there. For 7.62x39 they were charging .50 cents a round, and that was for Tulammo. Ridiculous.
Yea that's crazy.
well my new ar build is coming along so far I've got a spikes stripped lower, aero stripped upper, psa lower build kit, psa buffer tube, spring, buffer, bcm charging handle, magpul stock, and b5 grip.

My new precision match rifle, took it out over the weekend and did some 400yrd plinking shooting under 1/2 MOA
Just picked up a sig p250 compact in .45. My new favorite gun at the moment to carry. Just need to get a new holster I'm thinking Foxx or alien gear. Its got a long double action trigger pull like a j frame but its crisp so its taking some getting use to.
I decided to read this thread some years after it was initially started, and more than a year after the post I'm quoting was originally written. I haven't yet read further into this thread, or investigated any of the belligerent parties' posts. So I will speak from that perspective, at least for now. I know that Larry is a cop, but before his career as a LEO he stated that he had little or no prior shooting or firearms experience.
I first obtained a CC permit at age 28. I was raised around firearms, grew up around hunting and guns and seeing firsthand the effects bullets have on living flesh. All before age 10. Learned to shoot a shotgun at moving aerial targets with some proficiency by age 12, and at a competitive level by age 15. With rifles I was hitting golf balls I scrounged at a local driving range with a .22 at 50 yards or further, 8 shots out of 10. Oh and let me add, for safety's sake. My grandfather was killed in a tragic hunting accident, never knew him on account of it. As a direct result of that and his training in the USMC, my father unrelentingly drilled gun safety into my head from the very beginning. From age 6 or so, I knew where every gun, loaded and otherwise, in our house was stored. None were behind locks, but I never even considered handling any without direct supervision until I was of age when my father directly authorized such. Because parenting, and being taught to be a man where it counted.
The reason I share all of this, is that the basically universal age for CC permits is 21. However, there are folks out there that are a MUCH safer bet to trust with a firearm at age 19 than many others are at age 25. It's not the age, it's the person.
Carry on.
Its true... absolutely no experience. So i started my gun knowledge and experience by trained professionals in Law Enfocement capacity with hundreds of hours before ever becoming a Police Officer In the academy.
Upon my graduation from the academy I earned

It was between this and a GSG-5. Dude wanted $400 for it plus a scope and four mags. I got mine for significantly less and it's brand new. Everyone I talked to said to go with the 10/22 so I did done so.
