      Advice needed on LTC appeal

      We took the approach of "bulletproofing" the revised application -- thus some of it was probably overkill. To me, it was worth it, because I wanted to minimize the possibility of losing on appeal. Also, Bryan's work was meticulous, and it took time to put together the binder full of info. I...

      Advice needed on LTC appeal

      I thought I had provided enough documentation; the psychologist was dead, the records unavailable. In the original explanatory letter, I described the reasons I went to therapy, that there was no diagnosis I could recall, etc. I came at it from the perspective that I had the right to an LTCH...

      Chickens

      One consideration about starting now vs. the spring is the winter. I've raised chicken for five years now, and you have to think about how to make sure they've got water and not ice to drink. In general, it's more of a hassle to keep them in the winter than the fall. I also agree that it's...

      Acorn "bread"?

      I looked into this a few years back. The problem with eating acorns is reducing the tannins enough usually by soaking and washing. The processing is worth doing if you're about to starve, but otherwise not. Some acorns are "sweeter" with lower tannins; chinquapin oaks, for example. Deer...

      Advice needed on LTC appeal

      OK, I'm going to give you the rest of the story on this thread. Back in September 2010, I met with Bryan Lee Ciyou, to get started on the appeal. He was excellent in his approach, and we put together a whole binder full of information for the Board to "supplement" my original application...

      5.11 Tactical gear closeouts

      Looks like some good buys there. I wear the 5.11 tactical pants daily and I really like them.

      What was your first Handgun?

      S&W 41. That was a sweet little thing. Envy of the local pistol team, many of whom just shot the pitted old revolvers the club had. I just sold it to get a Glock 19. Practicality issue.

      5.11 Tactical Pants Sizing

      I wear 5.11 tactical pants six days a week. My waist size is 36. The "large" 5.11 in the long inseam states it's good for waists that are 35 1/2 to 39 inches. I don't CC yet (waiting on LTCH) but I've tried IWB in my current pants on shooting drills all day long, with no problem. Make sure...

      Farm Shoot II AAR

      First off, a big thank you to Mark and Troy for this day. It was amazing, thoroughly enjoyable. John had looked forward to this day for many weeks and was more excited about it than I can accurately describe. What a great first exposure to live fire for him. He was able to use more kinds of...

      Carrying at the Dr's. office

      Many medical/chiropractic/mental health/etc. pratices will have a "policies and procedures" form or something equivalent to that, that you receive when you have your first appointment. This is the logical and typical place to look if there is any restrictions on carrying. My recommendation is...

      Marlin 1894 in 44 mag vs. 45 LC

      Thanks for the good feedback here. I particularly appreciated the grouping info you gave, whiskeytangofoxtrot. I had a chance to handle a 44 mag 1894 this weekend and was more pleased with the factory sights than I thought I would be. Thanks for the article reference, Dr. Falken. I may have...

      Marlin 1894 in 44 mag vs. 45 LC

      I'm seriously considering purchasing a Marlin 1894, and am looking for opinions about the .44 mag vs. the .45 Colt. It would be primarily for deer hunting. I may be able to get access to hunt some farm land in southern Indiana (open cornfields) and I have access to wooded land in northern...

      Advice needed on LTC appeal

      Per my own intuition and the recommendations of some on this thread, I've retained an attorney experienced in this area. I meet with him next week. After the appeal is resolved, I will post on the process and outcome, in the hope that others will benefit. The words I've gotten is that we are...

      Advice needed on LTC appeal

      I don't think I made a mistake on the application. The wording on the question is awkward, but clear enough: "Have you ever been treated for psychiatric health care [sic] or an emotional or mental illness?" This form is signed under the penalty of perjury. Giving false information or...

      Advice needed on LTC appeal

      Joshua_W, feel free to PM me, but know that I have to get my post count up to 15 before I can respond. Those that PMed me, I'm working on getting back to you; I'm not ignoring you, but being a newbie plinker on the site, and not wanting to just post for the sake of increasing post count, it...

      Advice needed on LTC appeal

      Thanks for the reply and the advice. Would you recommend my state or US representative? I'm in US district 7 (Marion County), and I'm having trouble imagining that Andre Carson is going to have a lot of interest in the cause, especially as it could easily be dismissed as a state government...

      Labor Day range trip AAR (pic/vid heavy)

      Shooter521, I second Troy's comments. That was a fantastic day and I appreciated your expertise on the range. I'm looking forward to the next time. The pics are really sharp. Thanks for being the photographer and videographer as well. Being relatively new to firearms again, I can see how...

      Advice needed on LTC appeal

      I'm new to the site, and I've looked over some of the threads on here. I'm glad you all are here, as I can use some advice. On March 1, 2010 I applied for a lifetime LTC. Got printed and finished the application on March 31. I marked "yes" to the box marked "Have you ever been treated for...
