      Shipping a .22 rifle

      Thanks for your advice. Does it have to be in a separate lockable case on the plane or is it ok to have it in a regular lockable suitcase along with your shirts, pants etc in it too?

      Shipping a .22 rifle

      Thanks for the info. I'm doing the reverse -- from an 'unfriendly' state to a friendly one. :) How do you declare the gun in checked baggage? Is there a form to be filled out -- or do you just tell the checker verbally?

      Shipping a .22 rifle

      . I want to ship a rifle I own from MD to me in Florida. Questions: 1. Can I take it with me by commercial plane in checked luggage without a big fuss? 2. Is it FedEx or UPS which is the most user-friendly for such a ship? Thanks, pat

      I found a use for my HQL

      Just did my class for the Florida CWP (carry permit) the other day. The laws here are so much more sensible than the PRM's.

      Don't wait until the 23rd! It is seven business days.

      I was in On Target this morning and they are very busy. They were saying they expect a 4-5 hours wait for pick-up on the last few days of the month -- and they aren't going to stay open past their normal closing time on the 30th.

      what's in your safe that you might trade?

      An LCP, perhaps.

      Changed my mind on the HQL!

      For me, he may have won a battle but he's lost the war. I am moving to Florida and taking my taxes with me. No HQL, no income tax, carry permits no sweat, and no snow shoveling.

      AR-15 Polymer 80%, AR-10, and 1911!?

      When can someone who placed an early order expect to receive the 15 lower(s)?

      FFL denies hand-delivered transfer

      I've had high regard for CF. I suspect that the problem may be that he has a full-time job and has others man the store most of the time, and it's inconvenient for him to come in for you rather than deal with it at his convenience.

      Woman Saves Family's Life

      Of course, the fear factor and the adrenalin can make a huge difference, but there is another reason, especially with double-action firearms. Target shooting will soon get you 'staging' the trigger, because of the long, heavy pull. In a combat situation, staging is slow and will often be...

      So what "final purchases" are you making?

      Won't buy anything.....until I complete my move to Florida. .

      Fox45 news piece on background check delay and one store's response upcoming

      There may only be one officer doing applications at any one time. That is one way to discourage gun purchases. .

      stop all the leaving and moving nonsense

      I'm heading out of here to Florida -- lots of salt water there....a carry permit is doable.....no income tax....and real estate prices are great. Sorry for those who have to stay, but pi$$ing into the wind is not my thing. .

      Castle Doctrine

      Well, shooting someone breaking into your car is going to give you a raft-load of trouble, that is clear, because your safety is not threatened. If you go out to the car, and your safety is threatened by the thief, and you shoot, you are in a gray area and will need a good lawyer and a good story.
