Awesome!

In reference to 1gewehr's post (which is most excellent)... I was at an indoor range with several friends a while back. One friend was shooting my pistol and another friend was in an adjacent lane. I noticed that my pistol was tossing brass in a beautiful arc, up and over the divider and down onto the other friend's head (wearing a hat). The recipient could feel the brass hitting his head because he kept stopping and looking around. Only when he turned around and saw us laughing did he figure out what was going on. Completely unintentional, but funny.

I have these.... Allen Low-Profile Folding Shooting Muffs, Shooting Supplies, Allen at Sportsman's Guide Sometimes they'll bump the rifle stock and I have to push the up a little, but it's never been a significant problem.

While the fancy electronic earmuffs are the shiznit, I use standard foam earplugs with basic earmuffs on top. No problem having a conversation with someone nearby.

The title of this thread is all wrong... low necklines are quite good! You might notice most people at the range are wearing a hat. Now you know why. Put one in your range bag.

Why not avoid the (perceived) complication and just get him/her a gift certificate? The universal gift card with a few brochures thrown in should get the point across.

"More punch" is highly over-rated. Carry what you can shoot most effectively. A miss with a .22 has the same effect on your target as a miss with a 20mm.

I went to the local DMV first thing on a weekday morning. I waited about 10 minutes and it took another 10 to complete. I think it took that long because the girl processing HCP's was new (I was her first ).

Cool toy!

Grit in the action? If you don't want to take it apart, hose it down with CLP and blast it with compressed air.

I've never had any work done locally, but I've also heard good things about Predator and CCA.

mmmmm..... FAL carbine goodness. Build it or buy it?

"Take the gun, go see what it is." "Wait! Leave the gun, he might get past you..."

My experience with LLBean stuff has all been good, it's very high quality and lifetime warranty. My wife used the same LLBean backpack all through high school and college and it's still in decent shape. I'm on my 3rd fleece coat... broken zipper after 5 years then frayed stitching 6 or so years. They replaced the coat free of charge both times, no questions asked.

I've always thought they were dumb. The biggest turn-off for me (other than all the legal nonsense) is the "ripped from the headlines" episodes. Or as I call them... "our writers suck so bad, they can't come up with an original story on their own" episodes.

This bit of information might help explain both Jose and his wife's reaction... From here: Jose Guerena Killed: Arizona Cops Shoot Former Marine In Botched Pot Raid

Interesting. Quite affordable too. hmmm....

As stated, the issue is primarily the high power green lasers. The likelihood of hitting a pilot directly in the face is quite low. However, the laser beam can hit the multi-pane glass and refract and "dazzle" the cockpit (think disco ball). The cockpit windows can act as a beam splitter. I doubt you'd appreciate it if the pilot was trying to blink the spots away and trying to recover his night vision on final approach at 500ft and 150mph with your family on board.

So if I understand, you wear it like a normal IWB belt holster, only it's not actually attached to anything? Friction alone holds it in place?

I put it in the console or the glove box. My understanding is the HCP covers having a loaded handgun in your vehicle, however it does not cover a loaded long gun (nothing does).

I received the following via email and thought it pertinent to share here as lots of folks have lasers mounted on their weapons. You might be tempted to shine the laser at a passing aircraft. The FAA thinks that's a bad idea.

What they need to do is understand that the average American reads on an 8th grade level. If the regulations aren't clear to a middle-school kid, they aren't clear enough.

Heh. Amen to that.

The situation was quite different for President Eisenhower. Times were good, the economy was booming after the war. Things like OSHA didn't exist. Not saying abolishing all those things is necessarily good idea, but Eisenhower's context was very different from today.

The F1 race was pretty good. Watching the rookie hit the wall on the last turn at Indy was disheartening.
