BLM is a terrorist organization, that needs to be dealt with. I would also argue that before Obama took office race relations were better than they had been in a long time, he has done nothing but tear this country apart in every aspect.
I carry to protect my family and myself and what I've worked for, and now days with terrorism popping up everywhere I feel it's smart to stay that way.
My youngest daughter 18 just applied last Wednesday 11/29 and she received her lifetime carry yesterday 12/6, not even a full week. My oldest daughters was probably very similar 6 or 7 days. I already had a lifetime and just paid for the new laminated card and it took a month or better.
New to the forum but I own the Savage Model 10 FCP Marpat Digital, three of my buddies own 700 in 308. There very close but the Savage edges out the 700 in accuracy. Either gun would be more that accurate for most applications, even though I own and Savage I wouldn't mind owning a 700.
