This may be trivial, but what are the steps I need to take from start to finish to legally buy, own, and install a suppressor on my Bushmaster M4? What total cost am I looking at here.

Your lease says no guns? See: http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=572&highlight=nashboro Your landlord can't prevent you from lawfully owning guns.

I have been shooting at the MJPD range in the past with the past chief. Have they expanded the range any or is it still a relatively small area? http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=36.245965,-86.500715&spn=0.001006,0.002511&t=h&z=19&om=1 - few year old pic. -
You're a homo. Tell your mom I said hi. I'll tell mine the same.

I took my fiance shooting for the first time ever

Well, stop the presses. She wants to get her handgun permit I haven't taken her to shoot handguns yet, but I'm going to teach her with my XD-9 and .357 686. I'm going to make that happen this summer. This is a tremendous day. I don't see her carrying all the time, but I can see her with a nice .38 J frame or Kahr 9mm. -
How much is just the permit class?

You're correct. Your instructor is wrong about bank carry when it comes to private banks. When it comes to federal banks though, I don't really the law there since carry is prohibited in "federal buildings."

If one waves a brown flag, is that considered a b.s. flag -
I could not imagine what that feels like. I hope he is ok.

I had a dream last night that I was inside a gun store, and he was going out of business so he gave me a couple of these guns I kept thinking, "How come the hammer spur is so low?"

I'm trying to decide if I want to use my 5" Kimber 1911 .45 when I take the class or my XD-9 Service. XD-9: -5 x 16 rd mags so less time reloading -Cheaper ammo -In brand new condition and I don't want to mess it up. Kimber: -I just love to shoot it -As much as I know it could handle the class, the fact remains that it is a $700 dollar gun that is pretty much brand new. I'd hate to beat it like that because I do like my guns to stay nice and keep their value. Maybe I will just buy a beater G17 or G19 just for stuff like this, a rugged gun with some wear on it (police trade-in?) that I don't have to worry about marring if I drop it, slide it across some rocks, or what have you. KY Imports always has good deals on used and factory rebuilt Glocks. Does TR have guns available for rent? -
They have threatened us with ICBM's before. It's reaonsable to assume they could just as easily threaten us again. It's an interesting article to say the least, especially considering how much money we have given Russia in the past in financial aid. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,276014,00.html MOSCOW — Russia on Tuesday test-launched a new intercontinental ballistic missile capable of carrying multiple independent warheads, and a top government official said it could penetrate any defense system, a news agency reported. The new missile would modernize Russia's stockpile at a time of rising tensions with the West. The ICBM was fired from a mobile launcher at the Plesetsk launch site in northwestern Russia, and its test warhead landed on target about 3,400 miles away on the Far Eastern Kamchatka Peninsula, a statement from the Russian Strategic Missile Forces said. President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly said Russia would continue to improve its nuclear weapons systems and respond to U.S. plans to deploy a missile defense system in Europe. First Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov said the ICBM, as well as a tactical cruise missile that also was tested Tuesday, can penetrate any missile defense system, Russian news agencies reported. "As of today, Russia has new (missiles) that are capable of overcoming any existing or future missile defense systems," ITAR-Tass quoted Ivanov as saying. "So in terms of defense and security, Russian can look calmly to the country's future." Ivanov is a former defense minister seen as a potential candidate to succeed Putin in elections next year. The U.S. has said its missile defense system is intended to deter Iran and other so-called "rogue nations." The "United States has made clear to the Russians that this missile shield is directed at other nations that could conceivably affect the peace of Europe. We will continue to make sure that Russia fully understands our intentions," National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe said Tuesday. The ICBM, called the RS-24, is seen as eventually replacing the aging RS-18s and RS-20s that are the backbone of Russia's missile forces, the statement said. Those missiles are known in the West as the SS-19 Stiletto and the SS-18 Satan. The statement said the RS-24 conforms with terms laid down in the START-I treaty and the 2002 Moscow Treaty, which calls for reductions in each country's nuclear arsenal to 1,700-2,000 warheads. The RS-24 "strengthens the capability of the attack groups of the Strategic Missile Forces by surmounting anti-missile defense systems, at the same time strengthening the potential for nuclear deterrence," the statement said. The statement did not specify how many warheads the missile can carry. Ivanov said the missile was a new version of the Topol-M, first known as the SS-27 in the West, but one that that can carry multiple independent warheads, ITAR-Tass reported. The first Topol-Ms were commissioned in 1997, but deployment has proceeded slower than planned because of a shortage of funds, and aging Soviet-built ballistic missiles remain the backbone of Russia's nuclear forces. Existing Topol-M missiles are capable of hitting targets more than 6,000 miles away. Alexander Golts, a respected military analyst with the Yezhenedelny Zhurnal online publication, expressed surprise at the announcement. "It seems to be a brand new missile. It's either a decoy or something that has been developed in complete secrecy," he told The Associated Press. The new missile would probably be more capable of penetrating missile defense systems than previous models, according to Alexander Pikayev, a senior analyst at the Moscow-based Institute for World Economy and International Relations. He said its development was probably "inevitable" after the U.S. withdrew from the Soviet-era Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty in 2002 in order to deploy a national missile defense shield. Russia adamantly opposes U.S. efforts to deploy elements of a missile-defense system in Poland and the Czech Republic. The United States says the system is aimed at blocking possible attacks by countries such as North Korea and Iran, but Russia says the system would destroy the strategic balance of forces in Europe. Russia's military chief of staff has suggested repeatedly that Russia would regard elements of the system as potential targets. Asked about the controversy Tuesday at a news conference with Portuguese Prime Minister Jose Socrates, Putin said, "We consider it harmful and dangerous to turn Europe into a powder keg." On Monday, Russia called for an emergency conference next month on a key Soviet-era arms control treaty that has been a source of increasing friction between Moscow and NATO. The call for a conference on the Conventional Forces in Europe Treaty follows last month's statement from Putin declaring a moratorium on observing Russia's obligations under the treaty. The treaty, which limits the number of aircraft, tanks and other non-nuclear heavy weapons around Europe, was first signed in 1990 and then amended in 1999 to reflect changes since the Soviet breakup. Russia has ratified the amended version, but the United States and other NATO members have refused to do so until Moscow withdraws troops from the former Soviet republics of Moldova and Georgia — an issue Moscow says is unrelated. Putin warned that Russia could dump the treaty altogether if Western nations refuse to ratify its amended version, and the Foreign Ministry said Monday that it lodged a formal request for a conference among treaty signatories in Vienna, Austria, on June 12-15.

Nah, it's a Fobus paddle. -
Damn, how long ago was that? **** is $26 a box at the Hermitage Wal Mart now. I've been buying the CCI Brass .45 which comes in around $22 for 100. The only gun store within reasonable distance from me (Reloader's Bench in MJ) sells reloaded .45 ACP at $26 for 100...

My Glock 36 weighs about 27 oz, and I can wear it around with swim trunks relying only on the tie around the waist without any problems. I am 6'1 185. I also wear it with jeans and no belt. -

shaftbass replied to a topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
Well I hate anything that limits me to wearing a belt just to carry a gun. If you want to get one for a belt, fine, but I would also have a nice paddle holster such as a Fobus or Comp-Tac for times you don't necessarially need to wear a belt. -
I want an M1! My uncle has four of them but I probably couldn't persuade him to sell one to me
