Did they give you the receipt portion of the application? I printed and submitted the application you posted. They gave me a copy of the receipt portion o...

Applied 8/5, Permit issued on 8/6, Permit mailed from sppd on 8/11 to my SAH po box. SAH envelope mailed to my home postmarked 8/17 and received today 8/19. T...

OP, did you finalize your budget already accounting for ammo, cleaning supplies, and a safe if you do not have one yet? I have a buddy that was dead set on a 1911 in .45 for his first gun and ended up with a VP9 (in 9mm of course). Overall, do not stress too much and get into analysis paralysis - t...

Thanks for the suggestions. I just stopped at Gander because I was in woodbury and had some time to kill. the 23 was $699.00 +tax. :| Im not too bent on price but Joes in Roseville just had a 10 percent sale a couple weeks ago and I believe they were at 649.00 and with 10 percent off that would hav...

I know the topic is F&F but this is the politics section. Id express that Muslims are peaceful people who I know and have worked with (mostly somali) But they mostly despise our western way of living. They are supporting our freedom of religion but many I have spoken with believe Allah is great...

[/quote]Ha immigrants... correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the Somalis living in the Twin Cities area legal documented immigrants?[/quote] Correct I used the wrong wording was tired. Anyway ya theyre legal here on visa and most gain citizenship. Still who really knows their history. Like said I hav...

the overwhelming amount of children they are having here in Minnesota. Yah? So what's the problem? Or if having a lot of children is the problem, what do you propose for a solution? Having alot of children is the problem when you (they) cannot afford them. Over half of the Somali community in Minne...

That building that started on fire in South Minneapolis on Cedar was an accident but should not have happened. There was a cover-up there. There is suppressed information regarding terrorists living in South Minneapolis. Ok, let's hear some details on this. http://www.frontpagemag.com/point/219680/...

I am going to go to Bills with my neighbour to rent a few guns and use his to cut down on rental. Will be going next week hopefully when our schedules work. Renting a few definitely sounds like the way to go according to the majority here so thanks for that. :mrgreen: Also looks like quite a few ins...

I buy and sell stuff all the time but mostly auction stuff so im always looking to make a quick dollar. Ill have to look at this ammo thing but its hard to believe theres not enough 22 go around. I would think youd have to peddle a ton of it to make any money with the time involved. There again im n...

A bit inexperienced here. I should have my permit this week and will be buying a handgun for home protection and possibly while working since we have the option to carry.
