      Face to face gun purchase

      I've always used McDonalds. Wal-Mart seems like too big of a parking lot to be able to find the buyer/seller. McDonalds is just the right size IMO.

      Hobbies???

      Personally I love my legos. No pictures at the moment but the ships (star wars) and pirate ships are my favorites. Luckily my wife loves them too!

      Eagle Creek Pistol Range review

      I've been meaning to make my way out there. How is the wait? I'm about sick of going to popguns and waiting 4 hours to shoot.

      WTHR news on trayvon martin

      I still don't understand how he could possibly get a fair trial with so much of this case in the media. A change of venue will help a little bit, but not much. Maybe they should have an Amish jury.

      We just got back from NRA convention

      Is this something that is open to any member of the NRA or do you have to be invited or something? I am a member but I never really read through all of the junk they constantly mail me.

      keeping mags loaded?

      I've always been told that leaving pressure on a spring does not wear it out. The moment of compression (putting rounds into the magazine) is where the wear is. I have no idea if this is true as I'm not a physicist but it makes sense to me. I've shot magazines that have been loaded for 2 years...

      Titanic's Rendezvous With History: 100 Years Ago This Evening

      The only thing left of the bodies on the sea floor are pairs of shoes. Sea life ate the people and then the bones decalcified into the sea, so there's just a bunch of shoes down there. Kind of creepy!

      5 Shooting Range Mistakes

      Bit off topic but I had something strange happen at Wilbur Wright a few years ago. I was sighting in an AR on the 25 yard range and the range officer shows up to put up some new backstops. He just ignored me and walked out into the range and started working as I'm firing. I stopped and unloaded...

      Have you ever yawned and had a HUGE cramp under your chin?

      Haha yes the same thing sometimes happens to me. On a side note I hate those middle of the night leg cramps!

      ISP Fail

      Sad that you cant scan while mobile or sad that I'm not into amateur radio? Honestly I do enjoying learning about all of the aspects of radio, I'm just not a big talker. I tend to be quiet in my daily life so talking on the radio would be a bit strange for me.

      ISP Fail

      You can have a scanner in your car if you have an amateur radio license. I really don't have much interest in amateur radio but I studied and got my license so I could scan while mobile legally. ETA: http://www.in.gov/legislative/ic/2010/title35/ar44/ch3.html IC 35-44-3-12

He said at one point in his carear he was in a house with his partner and someones grandma had died. He told the grandson that they had done all they...

      Range safety - shooting with strangers - ND

      I just try to avoid it all together. I tend to only go to the range during off hours. I broke that rule yesterday and was reminded why I have that rule to begin with. The guy in the booth next to me at Popguns kept having issues with his 1911. At one point I looked over and he was standing at...

      Carry on a ride-along

      Maybe people go to court just because of the "if the cop doesn't show up, the judge will throw it out" thing that always gets thrown around on forums. :dunno:

      Job Search Rant

      What ticks me off the most is having my time wasted. I applied for a job with AT&T installing uverse. The first step was to apply, then a few days later I got an email to take an online test, a few days later ANOTHER online test. I was then finally given the privilege of driving to downtown...

      Carry on a ride-along

      For IMPD, head to one of the district headquarters and fill out the form. They will tell you when to come back or someone will call you and tell you when your ride a long is. IMPD has a no firearms rule unless you are Indiana Law Enforcement Academy certified. If you choose to ignore this rule...

      Where did you OC today?

      OC'd my Sig P229 in a serpa retention holster all day yesterday. I had not open carried in some time but I was in business clothes (suit pants, shirt, tie) due to some job interviews. So I thought hey why not open carry since I'm dressed so well. Had lunch with my wife at Penn Station in...

      Troopers have an e-ticket system now. They scan your drivers license and then click a button and it prints your ticket. No writing required. Maybe he was just a nice guy? :dunno:
