Hey, everyone! Citizens Safety Academy (CSA) is offering two back-to-back pistol courses at the end of this month at a nice, comfy range in Ripley, TN. For those who would like to teach Tennessee permit classes, Mississippi enhanced permit classes, or NRA pistol classes, we're offering the NRA's two-day pistol instructor certification course. And if you haven't already had NRA Basic Pistol (now a prerequisite for instructor certification), we have that class the day before, so you can cover everything in one weekend. Details are listed below, including links to register. NRA Basics of Pistol Shooting When & Where: Friday, June 29 (Ripley, TN) Name of Training Organization: Citizens Safety Academy Name of Instructors: Tiffany Johnson and Aqil Qadir Cost of Training: $85.00 Course Info: No prerequisites; No experience necessary. This course covers the universal safety rules, the fundamentals of marksmanship, and pistol operation, selection, storage, and maintenance. Great for brand new shooters, veteran shooters looking for a refresher or training documentation, and everyone in between. Participants will need a reliable handgun, eye and ear protection, approximately 100 rounds of ammunition, an open mind, and a positive attitude. Please let us know in advance if you think you'll need to borrow a handgun.

We keep our classes small to ensure low student-teacher ratios and lots of one-on-one instruction. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. We look forward to training with you. Aqil Qadir and Tiffany Johnson Info@CitizensSafety.com www.CitizensSafety.com

I was surprised I hadnt seen a thread on it here already so I was worried people may not have heard about it yet. Figured I’d post as a heads up since planning for opening day comes months and months before the actual day. I hope you get a monster!

I had not heard about this hunt. That is pretty cool. I will be out there sweating as well. Thanks for posting.

Uncle Capone has me guarding this... Touch it, I dare you!

I will also offer a full endorsement of Aqil and Tiffany.

I took the Rangemaster instructor certification course last year, and Aqil was one of the assistant instructors. He's a squared away guy who knows what he is doing. Cheers, Whisper

I agree whole heartedly! Check them out !

The longer I carry the more deeply I move into the “concealed means concealed” camp. It’s all about risk aversion for me.

I bet it is an attempt to garner goodwill and head off getting named in the lawsuit. Especially since the fbi won’t be paying dick.

Publicity... Always about publicity...

This story from today reminded me of this thread. A Texas man is recovering after he claims the head of a rattlesnake bit him — moments after he had just cut it off. Jennifer Sutcliffe's husband was reportedly bitten by the beheaded snake on May 27 at his home near Lake Corpus Christi. Sutcliffe told KIII-TV the two were doing yard work when she came across the four-foot rattlesnake. She said her husband used a shovel to behead the snake, but when he went to dispose of it, it bit him. The snake, Sutcliffe said, "released all its venom into him at that point" because it no longer had a body, and her husband reportedly began immediately experiencing seizures and internal bleeding, and lost his vision. The man was transported via helicopter to a hospital, where doctors said there was a chance he wouldn't make it. "A normal person who is going to get bit is going to get two to four doses of antivenom," Sutcliffe told the news station. "He had to have 26 doses." Her husband is now in stable condition but is suffering from weak kidney functions, Sutcliffe said. While it's rare to die after being bitten by a poisonous snake, roughly one to two people die each year in Texas as a result of the venom, according to the state's Parks & Wildlife Department. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/06/06/severed-rattlesnake-head-bites-texas-man-nearly-kills-him.html

Those drink coasters should work great. I used to "borrow" the wifes. Clear nail polish is also great fo fly tying.. Good luck!

While I do hope you stay with us, members do come and go. Please send a PM to me with the number so that I can sit on it in case others have similar problems and we aren't able to reach you.

Use poster board, or the heavy cardboard from the back of a legal pad as wads. Apply a heavy roll crimp and seal the over shot wad with nail polish. The powder needs back pressure to burn properly.

I would hazard to guess that styrofoam ain’t gonna work at all. You might study on how brass shot shells are loaded and the various cardboard type “wads” folks use for bee loads. What are you shooting out of? I would be inclinded to pack that stuff in tight, but I would be experimenting with an old S&W 28 that is built like a tank, lol. BTW, I saw CCI 38/357 shotshells at Walmart today, just saying.

Was able to pick up the suppressor this morning. After we finally got in touch with the guy we met and got it all took care of
