The indoor range near me has guns for rent. However, appearently the rentable range guns are not cleaned all that often. I had a less then operational 9 mm Springfield XD that I rented. IF the rented guns function, it is one way to try out the fit, and feel before buying. Depending on where you live, might be able to meet up with some members here and see if they will let you try what they have.

I went from not owning a firearm at the end of 2009, now I have quite a few. Guns seems to multiply.

Mine don't multiply as nearly as I would like though.

Think about what you want one for. Home defense, open, concealed carry, plinking, deer hunting, rabbit hunting, etc make a difference on what you should get. Like someone said, print out Vance's ad and take it to the gun show with you.

Every time they are up there they go quick.

The only "registration" Ohio has is the paperwork that you fill out at the dealer. They don't send this information to the gov't. It stays there. At gun shows, like eggs said, there might be a dealer there so it would be the same way. Private party sales would be like me selling you a gun, either at a gun show or at my house. I ask if you're 21 or a felon and that's it. No paper work unless I want a bill of sale.

It's funny how people say "Ozzy made me break the law" but how often do you hear "Jesus made me help that old lady across the street."?

Great to hear you'll be getting with your family, that's what's really important. Good luck buddy.

Now if they would only pass that legislation were we can legally carry a concealed gun in Hooters, and I'll be happy!

Here is a good place to read up on the laws:

Ok' date=' maybe silly question, what's a CHL? Back when I had my guns I think the

law was something like the gun and ammo had to be seperated, like ammo in the car,

gun in the trunk. Something like that.[/quote']

CHL=concealed handgun license. If you have one, you can transport a loaded handgun. The thing about ammo being separated is a common thing to hear. I have not actually read any law that confirms this. The ORC I copied doesn't say anything of the such so I have no idea. Funny thing is, before I had my permit, I always separated the ammo and firearm as well.

At a dealer, you'll go through an instant background check. Takes like 15 minutes. Name, Social Security number, address.... No waiting periods.

Gun show, no background check, no waiting period. If you don't have a CHL for transportation in cannot be loaded, magazines and speed loaders included and ...

I'm with ya cheech. When I was there I was checking out 9mms and was asking some questions and the dbag behind the counter says "Let me put it in terms you can understand: shoes ... blah bah blah" WOW!! Yes I'm a woman, that means that I need you to talk to me in terms of shoes instead of handguns - asshat.

Not impressed.

I think I remember you talking about this before. Sorry, but just because your a woman doesn't mean you don't know shit. I know some females that know more than all the fucktards behind that counter, combined.

Cleveland had challenged the state on grounds the law intruded on the constitutionally guaranteed right to home rule, which allows a municipality to govern itself. The city's ban on assault weapons was among those invalidated by the law.

Oh, and Blackwing has indoor and outdoor ranges.

I have heard some good stuff about Blackwing Shooting Center in Delaware. My dad has bought some firearms there and the people are great to deal with. Again, never shot there before but I prefer to shoot on private property, for free, at my own pace.

www.blackwingsc.com

I've never been shooting, so I don't know much about the local ranges or backyard alternatives.

No, I understand. Just wanted to give you a heads up on my experiences with them. I've never shot there, just my dealings with those that work behind the counters.

I've posted this up on OR before, but I won't go to NASR. I don't like the people that work there. They can be jerks with their holier-than-thou attitude. I just go to my dad's to shoot in Croton, 15 mins from NASR.

What a bunch of idiots. Hope the owners of the car got their hands on the video.

Any gun should be treated as if it were loaded. This is why.
