Five years ago when I renewed and my son originally applied, Sheriff Hutton turned the applications around in less than a week and a half. Recently this time around both of our permits took approximately three weeks. I have a feeling that Washington County is very busy with new applications as well ...

Sheriff Joel Brott is pro gun:)

Then he should reopen that palace of an indoor pistol training facility that the Sheriff has in Elk River to the public like it was originally intended when built.

In case you are not aware of it, Legacy Sports International, the Howa importer, sells magazine conversion kits and magazines for the 1500.

And if you really want to reach out there they also sell a 20 MOA scope mount rail made by EGW.

Howa 1500=very accurate bang for the buck.
3/4" 5-shots groups with a 20" bull barreled Howa .308 over sandbags at 100 yards with good ammo is not uncommon.

Ditto on an adjustable gas plug or ported gas plug for shooting economic commercial ammo such as Core-Lokt. Be sure to also join the CMP forum if you haven't done so already. There is a wealth of information available on that forum. http://forums.thecmp.org/index.php http://www.garandgear.com/ has s...

Early August 2007.
Came hear when Joel started his walk off the cliff at the other board.
Mostly lurk and frequent the board to stay current when the orcs are in session at the legislature attempting to ban guns.

ERSC has all that and more on 300+ acres of rolling oak covered sand hills. 22 shooting points and two concrete shooting benches on 600yd KD range with pits and intermediate shooting at 2,3 & 400 yards. Informal High Power shooting league and a Very active F-Class program on the KD range. 12 cov...

I was in to hunting with my dad in my late teens, then got away from any interest in guns 'cause of college, other interests, the chasing tail thing, marriage, kids, etc, but now that I am in my fifties guns are an obsession. My son has a carry permit but would rather shoot an Airsoft gun than his r...

The Liberal Media also DEMONIZES the NRA.... PR is needed....like bus stop adds with a single mom and her kids saying 'I am the NRA' A senior citizen saying " I am the NRA" etc etc. On the order of Oleg Volks posters showing real families and their need for self-defense with firearms.... ...

Here's the reply I got from my email to Sen. Stumpf of the Rules Comittee earlier this morning: "Hello Scott Thank you for taking the time to e-mail the senator. LeRoy does support the Second Amendment. By the way the bill was pulled from the agenda this morning!! Jeri" That's a good sign ...

Yes there was at least one guy there with a video camera on a tripod. Most of the gun control fireworks occurred in the first 15-20 minutes of the meeting. I saw several GOCRA T-shirts and a few NRA hats. I was wearing an Oakdale Gun Club hat. I asked representative Keiffer after the meeting what sh...

Attended today's town meeting in Woodbury. The meeting room was packed to overflow out into the hallways. During the introductions representative Keiffer wisely asked the room for a show of hands for all of those who were there concerning gun rights. I'd say 2/3 to 3/4 of the people raised their han...

I'll be at the Woodbury town meeting.
Going to remind state senator Kent that restricting gun owner's civil rights is a very hot button issue and that her 2012 election victory was the narrowest of all races in the metro area.

XDM45, The reason why I say "afraid" is I believe .fed can't attempt to successfully confiscate guns without essentially turning the country into a police state. The end result will be protracted asymetrical civil conflict. Think Northern Ireland where a couple hundred Irish Republican Arm...
