  1. Don't forget the ammo factor.... I'm not just talking about caliber, but bullet weight vs powder. Here's a bit some don't know. A lighter round, say 115gr 9mm loaded for PD will be snappy-straight back harder, than say 135gr loaded to PD. It's all about pressure, if the bullet weight (gr) goes up, the powder (also in gr) must go down to keep pressure under control. (Or chose another powder to compensate) The higher gr bullets will be less snappy (less straight back) but will have more of a tendency for muzzle rise. This is all perceived as something we call, "felt recoil." Also, powder burn rates will have the same effect, but they are still tied to bullet weight and volume of the case in reference to pressures. The weight/mass of the firearm, lighter much more felt recoil, same with shorter barrels. My advice is to get a friend who has everything and go shooting. It helps if they have solid knowledge of ballistics. If you are in my area, I would be happy to spend some time with you in the range. PM me. JQ
  2. You could turn the threads off a barrel. I'm, not saying to do this, but if someone had one with threads and removed them, as long as all else was compliant, no more AW. I see nothing in the law which would prevent this, and there is precedent in the magazine section, if you make a permanent 15 round mag, out of whatever, this is lawful, so it would follow that the barrel would be the same way.

  3. Just an FYI, you can't have a loaded firearm on Fed property, no safe passage clause there. Also, the glove and console are NOT considered carry containers under federal law. :0 Example: You pull into a Post Office parking lot with your loaded firearm, you are in violation of Fed law. Likewise if it was unloaded and placed in the glove or console. You can ship long guns from the USPS, but they need to be unloaded and in a case and declared at the time of shipping. Handguns may not be shipped and have to go through a private carrier, and again, must be declared at the time of shipping.
  4. It's not your problem, if there is no sign carry-on! If the business doesn't post then you are good to go regardless of whether they make more or less than 50% over the last three months, from booze. The law requires them to post, and if they do not, they could have their license suspended or revoked, but that in NOT on you. JQ
  5. Mab has it right,,, the poly used will lose cohesion at 400-420.
  6. The waiver is only for the purpose of the CC background check. It wasn't at first, but we kicked up a storm and the wording was put in that it was only for this purpose. DO I think they would abide it...? Dunno, also I haven't seen that clause in a long time, and am not looking for it. Perhaps someone else will chime in. JQ
  7. Do these bills have a chance in heck? I sure hope not.
  8. I think I get it.... Your address has not changed, you now have more than 10yrs at your current address. If that's the case, you should only need your current address.
  9. He's not central, but very good. If you don't get something closer. https://marksmanshiptraining.net/brian JQ
  10. I'm confused, this is for LEOSA, or current LEOs, how does a carve out for LEOs, apply to us? There's also nothing for private firm which could be used to secure schools, etc. I'm not being snarky, I'm just not sure why applies to us.
  11. I had heard of several instructors who were denied until the uploaded a certificate. Silly, I know, but there it is.... I did a recent renewal and the box for instructor was checked and the area to upload certs unavailable without deselecting the box. I decided to test what I heard about having to upload a cert as an instructor. I left the box checked and did not upload a cert, just my picture. I was approved in just over 30 days without question or pause for cert issues. FYI JQ
  12. No, we do not. I have listened to another point, and it takes one of theirs away. If nothing else, they can not say the slips were in their favor.
