  1. Yes. We both took the CCW course and will both be getting our CHL in time. She will most likely be getting the LCR-22 for herself when I can afford to get a second one.

    Dry Firing

    So, for the record... the manual for this gun says that it CAN be dry fired without damage to the firing pin or internal components. This gun however is a centerfire, the original one I posted about was a rimfire.
  3. Gonna be rough getting going that early on a Saturday morning but I'm anxious to shoot it Call me once you get close so I can guide you into the neighborhood, which reminds me I never texted you my address, will do that right now.
  4. I don't mind the stiff trigger, for now since that is the only real safety device it has. I'll let you guys know how i like it once I get some shooting in tomorrow with it. As for the +P rounds, didn't pick any up yet, got a box of target ammo and one small box of personal defense hollow points.
  5. So now starts a new and expensive journey Picked it up tonight. Taking it out to shoot tomorrow.

    We got the .38 tonight! Taking it shooting tomorrow with a friend.
  7. Try leaving an open can of coffee in the car for a few days. I had a customer tell me thats how they got rid of the burned electronics smell inside their fire panel when it had caught fire. They poured coffee grounds in the bottom of the panel for a week or so then vacuumed them out and the smell was gone. And if you don't know what burnt electronics smells like, well its the worse!

    I'm probably going to stick with the LCR-38 (the 5401), it's made for +P rounds, that's plenty for me. And yes, a .22 is definitely better than nothing Thanks. Oh he let me fire it, once. And you guys will probably be sick of hearing from me in the next few months, I have lots of questions

    His price is almost $100 below MSRP and is $20 less than Vances, and he has them in stock, Vances doesn't.

    Page 74 and 128 of the "NRA Guide to the Basics of Pistol Shooting" book we got during our CCW course talk about dry fire training. No mention of any harm or potential harm to the weapon

    Dry Firing

    How bad is it for a gun, seriously? In this case a revolver. I've been researching online a couple Ruger revolvers I'm interested in and I stopped at Gun World in Hilliard yesterday to see if by chance he carried them. He did, he had both I was interested in, the LCR-22LR and the LCR-38SPL version. Both are Ruger hammerless lcr series revolvers. Everything I read online about these guns keeps talking about the really hard trigger pull since they don't have a safety, tested at 11lbs (according to the internet). So I asked the guy if I could test the 22 to see how hard the pull really was cause I want that one for my wife and want to see how hard it really was. Dude got all pissy with me about it, but let me pull it once. Seriously, is it really that bad for a gun to be a dick to someone interested in buying two guns?
  16. I like this one... https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=178684802273819
  17. I use Huntington checking. No problems. No fees

  19. Did anyone else get a spam like this today? Got this today at an email address I seldom use. It was too long to include in just one post, had to break it up into two... From: patriot@usa.com Subject: Sen. Dianne Goldman Feinstein Is A Loaded Gun Out to Destroy People talk of the one-percent elite who are out to own and control everything in the world. Let’s put a name on one of them: Dianne Goldman Feinstein (D-Calif.). This powerful U.S. Congresswoman is the 9th richest on Capitol Hill, according to reports about the b/millionaires in Congress. Feinstein’s first major attempt at gun control occurred when she ordained a citywide handgun ban as mayor of San Diego, Calif., in 1984, where an attempt at recall failed. Feinstein, 79, called for more gun control measures after the “Fast and Furious” ordeal. While only verbally slapping the hand of the irresponsible government officials by saying mistakes were made, she tried again to infringe on American’s Second Amendment Right. Currently, she has her sights on becoming the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which oversees gun control legislation. In the wake of the Sandy Hook school massacre in Newtown, Connecticut, Feinstein will ride the tide to usher in what elitists want, to grab Americans’ guns. These elite can afford high-tech security systems, bullet-proof vehicles and bodyguards, whose guns will not be sought, but they want the common man’s. Why is gun control vitally important to them? It’s a tried and true formula that worked for Stalin, Hitler and Mao to control the masses. Why bring up communists? Communistic-socialist ideas work for rich and powerful Americans, who are mainly counterfeit-Jewish. Actually, they are Atheist Marxists but call themselves Jewish. These “fake” Jews originate from Khazaria and went to Russia and its surrounding areas, as did Feinstein’s grandparents, immigrating from Poland and Russia to the U.S. Jews, like them, were told by the Sanhedrin to migrate to the U.S. and make their children doctors, lawyers and politicians to eventually destroy the Christians. Her father, Leon Goldman, became a renowned surgeon. Fake Jews also have instructions through “The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion” to obtain control through the judiciary, banking, real-estate, media and politics, which most of them own companies in all areas addressed in these protocols. For a detailed account of “fake” Jewish elite, review the free documentary, “The Nazi Banksters’ Crimes Ripple Effect” available online. Feinstein is easy to identify as a fake Jew because of her roots. She is even easier to spot as a Marxist, because of her connections with Communist China, along with her fake-Jewish husband, Richard Blum, an investment banker-power elite. Both are intertwined with Communist China through “business” deals, investments, and connections. They say they keep their business-affairs separate, but only a fool would believe their long-standing marriage has such secrets. It is more likely they are partners who help each other. Feinstein’s ethics have already come under fire. She has received criticisms of conflict-of-interest due to her husband’s interest in companies awarded U.S. governmental contracts, such as Perini and EG&G, which was bought from the Carlyle Group. Another unethical example is she introduced legislation to provide $25 billion in taxpayer money to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which is an agency that had awarded Blum’s real-estate company Coldwell Banker Richard Ellis (CBRE) a contract to sell foreclosed properties at rates higher than the norm. Feinstein campaigned for trade relations with Communist China, citing that China should be granted “most favored nation” in terms of trade, meaning it would get the best terms and lowest import taxes. Trade with China has destroyed many American companies, American livelihoods, and a big part of the American way of life. Jobs and technologies were outsourced through NATFA, pushed by the Clinton administration. Today, products sold in America are made by oppressed Chinese children and adults whose labor funds their country’s military expansion. Loads of Chinese products are sold at Wal-Mart, another destroyer of American small business. In fact, Wal-Mart is the number one importer of Chinese goods through the China Ocean Shipping Company (COSCO). COSCO, owned by the People’s Republic of China, oversees and controls the Long Beach Naval Base in California, not to mention involvement at other ports. President Clinton awarded this arm of the Chinese military the lease and also loaned it millions of U.S. dollars. He did this even after much debate was given on allowing a Communist country to control a port on U.S. soil. Feinstein is said to have opposed its lease, but it appears she only questioned it. There are major issues with COSCO: 1. A COSCO ship was involved in smuggling 2,000 illegal Chinese immigrants into the United States in Oakland, CA in 1996. [Feinstein says she wants to fight illegal immigration, yet how did she tackle this concern?] 2. COSCO was caught shipping 87 pounds of heroin in 1993. The Clinton Administration admitted COSCO was caught, but defended the company’s officials. [Feinstein says she wants to fight illegal drugs, yet how did she tackle this concern?] 3. The COSCO ship, Empress Phoenix, had attempted to smuggle in some 2,000 AK-47 fully automatic assault weapons. But the U.S. keeps doing business as usual with them, and politicians don’t go after these criminals with as much zest as they do Americans. [Feinstein says she wants to fight for gun control, yet how did she tackle this concern?] 4. COSCO was placed on a list of shippers to monitor by the U.S. Coast Guard after COSCO ships were stopped six times within a year and accused of breaking international safety regulations. 5. A COSCO ship crashed into the boardwalk in New Orleans, injuring 116 people and causing massive damage. 6. A COSCO ship was suspected by U.S. intelligence of carrying chemical weapons in 1993, although no chemical weapons were found when the ship was searched. [Feinstein said Iraq had weapons of massive destruction, yet how did she tackle this concern?] 7. On January 24, 1996, the New York Times reported warnings by the former Ambassador, Charles Freling, quoting a Chinese official that China would intimidate Taiwan because U.S. leaders would care more about Los Angeles than they would Taiwan. As the U.S. fleet started to go through the straits, when communist China started shelling Taiwan and missile attacks, the Chinese responded that the U.S. withdraw and threatened nuclear warfare on the city of Los Angeles. 8. The Chinese made donations to the DNC in hopes of gaining influence. Johnny Chung, a Chinese American businessman from California, gave $366,000 to Democrats, but it was later returned on suspicion it illegally came from foreign sources. These donations coincide with Clinton’s decisions on leasing the naval base. 9. Communist China underhandedly obtained the bid to run both sides of the Panama Canal. An Alabama company made a bid on them and it won the contracts for both. It was selected by Panama. After selection, after announcement, the Chinese government went in with bribes and the decision was reversed. 10. COSCO was fined for paying kickbacks to shippers instead of abiding by tariffs. This is, again, a Chinese-operated company that was cited for giving kickbacks, payoffs for access. 11. There was concern that given the political and military nature of China that the COSCO deal relates to the strong possibility that China can establish intelligence-gathering capability at the former Naval base. It is known that the former Soviet Union established a number of Signal Intelligence sites at strategic sites throughout the U.S. These issues get very little notice by Feinstein, or for that matter the U.S. Government, except maybe to keep them hush. Feinstein goes after American individual rights guaranteed by the U.S Constitution, but she does little to protect them from her Chinese comrades. COSCO in America remains a consumer-front and the U.S. treats it and its subsidiaries as normal business partners. The truth of the matter is the American economy was traded for Chinese goods. American jobs were traded for shiploads of cheap products whose sales have built up quite a massive military presence with control of almost 150 acres of America’s West Coast. Few Americans benefit from COSCO, but the ones who do are the power players like Feinstein, Blum, the Clintons and more. Feinstein isn’t good for America, yet she is allowed to be a policy-maker. She lied about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction and was supportive of the Iraq War efforts. She co-sponsored PIPA in 2011. Given her support Chinese “industry” and growth, she cannot be for Americans. ----------------------------------------------- continued in next post...
