Re: Sandals or flip flops while shooting

I don't know what FITASC is, but assume it's a sanctioning body for some kind of match. Their match their rules as far as I'm concerned, but I think it's crappy that someone didn't point it out to the shooter before they stepped up to the line. I learned this from a Youtube video, FITASC . F édérat...

Re: Sandals or flip flops while shooting

I get flip flops and maybe sandals if you are in a competition where there is movement but why no sandals if you are shooting at a bench?

Re: Governor Walz and Burnsville shooter

Actually, I was hoping that the tragedy would underscore how pointless the anti-gun legislation is. Can we say the same thing about anti-abortion legislation? Owning a firearm harms no one. Can we say the same thing about carjacking, fraud, homicide, or any number of other immoral acts we outlaw?

Re: Governor Walz and Burnsville shooter

One theory I've read about the firearms is that they were the property of the woman he lived with; who, If I read things correctly, cannot be too bright. She had previously filed an order for protection from him, and then had the guy move in with her.... If true, she allowed a felon access to firear...

Re: 2024 "Ban Everything" Legislative Thread

You really need to look into Minnesota Gun Rights ... I hadn't, but I got a random email from them a few days ago, looked at their website, and donated. I guess that's why they send out emails; every now and then they find a good intentioned but ignorant individual. However, my posting this, gettin...

Re: 2024 "Ban Everything" Legislative Thread

Given that the left controls the MN House, the MN Senate, all the gate keeping committees, and the governorship they are able to exercise a super majority writing whatever they will and passing their own bills. I'm starting a thread to keep track of what's going on: HF3628 (per the moment) https://...

Re: 50 BMG ammo at Scheels

I reload it to my MATCH Quality standards for $3.00 per round. (My cost - even less if once fired brass is considered free.) There is of course a secondary market among competitive shooters ( re-loaders trading their existing inventory of components between themselves), but if you look at present d...

Re: Curios and Relics question

Which leads me to another question: how much can a C&R be refurbished or repaired before it would no longer be considered the same gun; i.e. the "Ship of Theseus" question? That is the first question addressed in the FAQs of the linked document I previously posted. The short answer is...

Re: Curios and Relics question

It needs to be listed as an C & R Firearm.
