Was there much of a wait at BPR today? I was going to take my parents shooting and they prefer the gander range(why I don't know) but they were full with reservations till 7:00. We drove past BPR and the lot was pretty full so we just went home. I will stop derailing now. I very much appreciate the...

Brought the kids out Sunday to see if anything caught my daughter's eye. She wanted a 10-22 with a purple stock. Go figure.

Walked out with a cleaning mat and bought the last three black AR mags John had on the table. Overall not a bad show.

Re FL fingerprinting. I can't recall the specifics , but they are strict in their requirements, which may not be the same as what's practiced locally. Read / follow their instructions. You should use THEIR card. Go on the FL Dept. of Ag site, request one for free. To do one in Dakota County: Go to ...

Lead will never be scarce, but that doesn't mean government won't create a crisis and ban it. I suspect when that happens we'll be shooting solid copper/bronze bullets like those produced by Barnes. This. However I doubt (although anything is possible) that the use of lead in personal protection ro...

It may also be worth noting that the OP may be employed by an organization who's presence spans several states, so "weapons permit" and "concealed carry permit" may be their universal terminology. My point was that in an at-will state, who cares. It's you choice where you are emp...

As long as MN is an at-will employment state, it doesn't really matter, does it?

I'm prohibited from carrying at work. Whether or not I ever have isn't for discussion here, but I have and am allowed to store in my car on company property.

Sounds like you want a single action revolver.

If there a particular reason you don't want to deal with the slide on a semi-automatic?

A single action or SA/DA will have a hammer, a double action only will not.

Lakeville FF had a bunch this last Saturday as well.

Another vote for the SP2022 here. I just sold mine last week and I regretted it from the moment I left the buyer's house. At least it went to a friend, so I'll still get to shoot it. I only sold it because I was out of storage space, and the wife thought I had too many handguns. In an effort to keep...

I had Jim do some custom design and machining work for my BMW a few years back and was blown away by his work. He turns out some top notch stuff!

GMJ/FMJ are essentially the same, just made differently. FMJ uses a pre-formed jacket that the lead slug is pressed into. GMJ is plated, and cheaper to manufacture. I'm assuming all these bullets were made by CCI/Speer in Lewiston, ID (and assembled in Anoka), since Federal doesn't have a plating op...

You can find more ******** here: http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2013/11/last-u-s-lead-smelter-closes-will-this-affect-bullet-production/ They discuss how lead used in ammunition hasn't come from US suppliers for years. While I can't really say who supplies who, I CAN tell you that major manufac...

You can thank me by purchasing ammunition from CCI, Speer, Federal, anything made at Lake City, or even (gulp)...Winchester.

I should also mention, since the article does not, that the EPA NAAQS standard for ambient lead concentrations goes into effect in 2016. The previous limit was 1.5 micrograms per cubic meter of air. The new limit is .15.
