      Need some clarification please!

      Thank you, lonehoosier, for you observation. I've appropriately "hypothetical-ized" my post so as not to imply that I may have actually committed any incidental felonies. I appreciate the heads-up. To take this topic a step further, it seems to me that a high-profile public figure (like our...

      Need some clarification please!

      OK, now here's a follow-up question for any legal eagles that might be monitoring this thread. Clearly, they repealed the old "school function" rule wording (at least until next July) for school events held away from the school property itself. It would still be a Class D felony to possess a...

      Iowa issues handgun permits to legally blind citizens

      I must say I've really enjoyed this thread so far. If you would have asked me yesterday whether a "blind" person should be issued a carry permit, I have to confess I would have fallen right into the trap of saying, "What!? Of course not! Don't be ridiculous." Now that I've had some time to think...

      The Open Carry Argument

      Of course I read the first post, protius. I found the essay to be well thought out and articulate. Very convincing, especially for the average "walking the street" situation. However, as I mentioned, the decision for me depends on the venue. I spend most of my time in banks and other secured...

      Do you return fire?

      Absolutely! I can't imagine any version of this situation where it would be advisable to return fire against uniformed officers. The polices tend to take extreme umbrage at being fired upon & tend to respond with prejudice. No way would that end well for you. Best bet in that kind of crappy...

      MSNBC:" AR15 fires in three shot bursts!"

      Fair enough, but don't the ethics of journalism demand that these reporters take some responsibility for getting their facts straight before they represent falsehoods to the public? I think too many modern journalists have forgotten that they have a responsibility to factual representation as...

      The Open Carry Argument

      Or you could make the argument that having an obvious weapon displayed might make you the most likely threat to the bad guy and thus his first target. Just depends on the venue. To each his own.

      Active shooter at D.C. Navy yard

      It'll be hard for the gun control nuts to justify additional control legislation based on this one, I would think, considering it happened in the most "gun free" zone in the country.

      Groupon Resumes Firearms-Related Promotions

      Yes, when did Groupon mention that their ban was "temporary"? I certainly don't recall that being mentioned when we approached them earlier this year. Personally, I think I will avoid setting up any deals through them until they've been back in the game for at least a year (or more) and given me...

      The Open Carry Argument

      I can see the arguments for both sides and on very rare occasions I do open carry, but mostly I carry concealed, partially to avoid the extra hassle of freaking people out, but if I'm to be completely honest with myself, I think I just prefer knowing that I'm going to be underestimated. Sort of...

      Has anyone built their own range or converted a building into a range?

      Now that some time has passed, I think we're leaning towards a public range with multiple lanes. We have some great ideas to make it successful and hoping we may be able to find a venture capitalist.

      Has anyone built their own range or converted a building into a range?

      Thanks for all of the replies. We're still trying to decide if we want to just jump in and build a public range or just make a private one for local use with people we know.

      @wagyu52 -Should you change your user ID to Shawshank? Still......the thought of having a hidden one underground sure is tempting. mkbar80 - Would love to see pictures if you can find them!

      Has anyone built their own range or converted a building into a range?

      I was thinking personal to start with. I already have land, so an outdoor version for personal use would be pretty simple (I think). Though, if I had to build from scratch I'd probably want to buy land closer to me. My goal is to eventually open a small indoor range to reduce cost. If it...
