Re: Any other 1911 addicts here?

I was introduced to the 1911 while serving in the U.S. Navy in the mid 70's. That rattle trap was the first handgun I had shot, having had rifles and shotguns in my youth. Qualifying and carrying a 1911 while on duty made a distinct and reassuring impression on me. Although the first handgun I owned...

Re: CWP Renewal

Sent my renewal package in on February 6th. Check posted to my bank on February 13th. Haven't seen it in my mailbox yet. I'm not too worried as my license doesn't expire until late April. Even though I work in Orlando, the traffic around here sucks enough to not want to chance driving over there and...

Re: Morning Edition is celebrating the NRA...

Once I signed up for Lifetime Membership the mailings dropped off considerably. About the same time I got a call AT WORK from them. Once I told them to not call me at work I haven't got a call from them at all except robocalls during the election(s) reminding me what's at stake.

Re: Dicks sporting goods / hunting gear

I see no need to wish them to go under. I do like the thought that their actions are having a negative result on their bottom line. I know I am avoiding doing business with them because of it. I go to Academy for things I used to shop at Dick's for. Market forces will decide whether they go the way ...

Re: What Ranges allow 50 BMG in Central Florida

A few years back, I shot a 50 BMG at the Titusville Rifle & Pistol Club west of I-95 off SR 46.
Address: 2299 Gun Club Ln, Titusville, FL 32780
Phone: (321) 268-1312

It wasn't mine so I'm not sure what the hoops/restrictions are. I've only been there on non-members days (Monday).

Re: FL voter registration trends

I'd like to think folks who register "no party affiliation" would favor us at least a bit, being that they are presumably objective and analytical (at least they fancy themselves as such) and don't blindly follow any particular platform. If logic and reason drives the vote, it favors us -...
