  1. new concealed carry classes

    in Dumpster

    Posted

    To be 100% honest i don't personal believe in mandatory training. I'm a big personal accountability, personal responsibility guy.

    That being said if I am selling something I want to make sure people are getting their money's worth. Especially something this important.

    I would actually prefer to do a two day 16 hour class. We feel we have that much information we want to share. Sadly people complain about the 12 hours, and I don't think many people would do a 16 hour class with a "nobody" like me.

    Speaking to the person who didn't get much from their ccw class... Sadly that is the story I have heard from a lot of people (myself included). You have to look at like this though. We have to teach a course to the lowest common denominator. That way those people who didn't have the fortune of growing up shooting up can have a good base.

    The CCW course really is just that. A good baseline. It's for people who can't spell "gun" as say for those who take our class. At least 4-5 hours is. Then we go into practical application of the fundamentals of marksmanship, and CCw specific topics (which I think are hugely important hence why we won't cut to 8 hours).

    Most CCw courses are not going to be sufficent to teach you how to survive with a gun. I STRONGLY urge you to seek additional advanced training for this. Just be able to carry a gun isn't going to make you better able to protect yourself than owning a guitar makes you a musician.

    To further harp on the baseline training... I have taken probably 200 hours of additional training on the last two years, and I can say nothing is more frustrating than taking an "advanced" class that you have paid $200-600 for + ammo, + gas, + hotel, and have someone derailing the class due to lack of a good baseline.

    Sorry for the extended rant. Go out, get good quality training from good quality instructors. Being in OH we are very lucky to have a ton of really great ones.

    Also sorry if this is jarrbled. I'm posting from a phone.

    Be safe,

    Howard

    We have a 12 hour class scheduled for 1/28 in Johnstown.

    I don't think we will be cutting back to 8 hours even with the law change. I feel that would be doing a disservice to our customers.

    Pm me if you have any interest or need more information.

  6. 350 rds Sumbro 9mm

    in Dumpster

    This is a lower quality Macedonian produced 9mm. It has the harder military spec primers. I shoot only striker fired pistols, so it does not work well.

    I have also had one squib load in the ~700 rds of this I have shot.

    7 -50 rd boxes. $10 a box.

  7. 1975 Honda CB750 Cafe Project

    in LBTS GLWS

    Posted

    Non running project.  Fairly close to completion.  Had an intermittent spark issue.  Replaced all the points/condensers and it did not solve it.

    Because of this I was going to upgrade to modern ignition/new coils etc.  In the interim a friend needed a coil for his bike so I gave him one off this.

    Other than that it is fairly complete.  Comes with a whole mess of extra parts.

    $1500 firm.  I have twice that in it with all the power coating, and refresh of the frame, bearings, chain etc.

    I'm moving and would rather not have to move it.

    I looked at the linked pics for the pants and started scrolling to others, i am using google chrome and it freaked out, dl'ed a java update program and froze everything.  I know it was not done by you purposefully, just a heads up.

     

     

    Sadly I don't really have any control over how photobucket interacts with chrome.  I typically use firefox, and have had no issues.

  16. OR Indoor GP Go Karts track day Jan 24

    in Events

    Posted

    so now that i'm home and had some time to type some of this out

     

    1. thanks to all the staff that was very... laissez faire (in a good way) with some of our contact during the heats and races, and for patiently taking care of the timing issues

    2. thanks to mojoe for putting this together and handing out the goodies

    3. it was most excellent to see you guys again

     

    the "qualifying" heats/practice were good times, despite the timing issues that messed some people up in the placement for the races.  I was second in my group(s) the during the practice (I think howie was 1st, probably cause of that epic beard), and got moved into the 1st group for the race.  During the race, I was getting chased down like some sad plump puppy in the streets of korea by Mikey B and eventually I either caved under pressure and spun out or got tangled up with someone and never saw him again after he passed me.  My times during that race was still good enough for 2nd in the last race which was to be determined by placement rather than times (unlike the last 2 events, which was strictly by fastest lap time).  We did a nascar style start which is basically the format where we get paraded around to the starting line by the pace car and then we go on the green flag.  Mike and I got away pretty clean, and we were involved in our own little race until we ran into lap traffic and he got tangled up with someone.

     

    After that, I was out front for a while until Mojoe in his beastly kart came up on me.  He and I exchanged some kart fluids and went back and forth for the front spot until he fell away at some point (I'm not sure what happened).  He had the slightly stronger kart and I had the slightly under powered one (from what people told me that had driven it before) and we went back and forth changing positions in the braking/accel areas.  After my battle with Mikey and Mojoe, I didn't get to "race" with anyone other than lap traffic and then the race was over all too soon.  My laptimes started at 44.8 in the first session, 44.4 (or something like that) in the second session, and my best during the last race was a 43.99 or something similar.  I think the only one that had a faster laptime than me (in our group anyway) was Joe (vw151) with a best lap time of 43.97 despite a 80ish lb weight disadvantage compared to me which is pretty damn impressive.  For me, the track was really slick so my fastest time was with the slowest kart, which helped me to not spin out like I did the last 2 sessions.

     

    Anyway, it was fun winning the race.  Never happens to me when it matters lol.

     

    Everyone should buy the pre-season membership package thingamabob as it's a good deal.

    I wish that first heat time was mine. There was a mistake on who got what times. Mine was really like a 47 for that first round.

    I felt so dirty standing up there on the pole :).

    I had a lot of fun. I'd do it again for sure.
