  1. I’ve sold many guns that no longer serve their purpose. I don’t have any of the guns from my childhood because while they had sentimental value, better options existed. For instance the 10/22 I grew up shooting that my dad gave me, or the model 70 I shot my first deer with, both were valuable to me for the memories, but the memories are mine even without the gun. I didn’t want to have a huge safe full of guns I don’t shoot, so they get sold off when they no longer have a purpose. I expect my son to do the same with his guns as he sees fit.

  2. Life member of both the NRA and SAF.

    The NRA won’t get another dime from me for a long long time.  They primarily communicate with me asking for money, selling me fear, and spamming me with junk. 
     

    SAF is a totally different deal.  Just this week I got a mailer from them and I thought “Oh no, better not be similar to the crap the NRA sends”.  I was pleasantly surprised when it was useful information about what they are doing to help me, a gun owner.  
     

    I should look into the GOA or that TN group.

    Well my Trijicon mro is back at Trijicon for the second time in 3 weeks. I've fired 5 shots with it on the gun. I love my  Reap IR, but the mro is getting it's ass handed to it by my buddy's $25 Chinese junk red dot. I don't think they understand what 18.5" of parallax at 100 yards means. 

    Better watch those Trijicon repair teams real close.  They sent my MRO to the wrong address about 6 months ago.  Didn’t even have the decency to tel me it was shipping.  

  4. Here’s an anecdotal example.  With RMR I can make head shots at the farthest distance most indoor ranges go to.  I don’t shoot indoor much, but every time I swap the battery in my RMR (yearly) I go to an indoor range to confirm my zero.  I shoot at many different distances, but I almost always end the session by running the target out as far as it will go and shoot for head shots.  The RMR makes it pretty easy.  By comparison, with my work pistol (iron sights) I have a tough time keeping all the rounds in the upper chest at 25 yards.  
     

    Can I do that under the stress of an active shooter scenario?  Probably not.  Can I put rounds in the upper thoracic cavity from a long way away?  Yup.  All day everyday, thanks to my RMR and lots of practice.   

  5. King County is a very tough place to live free.  Every time I drive through on my way to the range I see that "Entering King County" sign and the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.  I don't buy anything in King County and I'm certainly looking forward to moving back to TN when able.  Even still there are plenty of like-minded people out here trying to do their best to live in accordance with these laws while also trying to repeal them through the NRA or similar organizations.  The gun control people got most of what they wanted in the recent I-1639 legislation, but they are still wanting to ban assault rifles and high capacity magazines.  2020 might have those initiatives on the ballot.  We need to learn from these laws being passed in WA and work to prevent them being passed in TN.  

  6. A few good lessons to learn from this are that showing up to vote in the midterms matters very much and political activism is needed.  People here get their ballots mailed to them and voter turn out was still rather low from what I expected.  Plenty of folks are very upset over 1639, but not many lifted a finger to work against it.  I will be glad when I'm done living in WA and can return to TN.  Hopefully, TN will still be a good place to live.
