Picked up a twelve inch ar500 steel gong today and went shooting. We tried spinning it and shooting the back side when it was reversed. Good times and a good waste of ammo.

Nice score Hal!

Dang buy me some thats almost as cheap as I can reload it and lot less time consuming!

Does anyone have a .22 lr conversion kit for their AR? I can't decide on a kit or just a new gun. I can get an M&P 15-22 for $350, so is it worth it to get a $250 kit or just a new gun. Any opinions?

I bought one for my dad about four years ago but Im not sure if he's ever used it. I will ask and get back with you.

Spoke to my father and he didn't recall the brand he has and has never used his. Im on the phone with him right now and he said he will dig it out of his safe and get back with me on the brand. On a positive note, he said he forgot he had it and will try it out.

I have a S&W E Series 1911 that I carry daily for the last 4 years. I bought a M&P Shield about a year ago in 40 S&W. I love it cause I can carry it even on my job with no one being the wiser. I also do Private Investigations on the side and work as armed security part time too. With the Florida G license I have to qualify once a year for every caliber I carry. I need to go soon and re-qualify for the 1911 and I have put off doing it with the 40. I am selling the 40 to a friend and buying a Shield in 45. Most say the 45 isn't any more felt recoil than the 40 and some say it's less. Anyhow it will save me about 70 bucks a year on not having to qualify with two guns. I would only have to qualify once with a 45. And I can do a smidgen better than Steves target than whoever shot that one with a 45. LOL

I am thinking this would go better here than in joke pics .. .

Carry and Conceal Canines!

LOL, I would carry a hi capacity corgi.

Not sure if anyone cares or not, but it would appear that campus carry and open carry is probably got a very good chance of passing in Florida this year.

The session starts early in 2017 and if it passes the first session then it would go into effect July 1st I believe. The bills have already been filed. I believe they had the votes to pass it last year in the senate. It passed the house, but was held up in committee by a republican chair believe it or not. That senator lost his re-election to a democrat (probably thanks to a lot of conservatives voting for him to get rid of the republican) and a different republican that is very pro gun now chairs that committee.

Thanks for explaining. In Ohio, bills from the previous two year session die if not passed, and the process must start all over. Most annoying to lose out that way. To make it worse, the first week or two of each new session is all about resolutions that do things like rename roads and bridges for recently dead politicians.

I am def not an expert on how it works in Florida by no means. I learned what I do know last year mostly from a forum I belong to and following open carry. The house and senate have various committees that any bill first has to pass a vote and pass all the committees before a full vote is taken. The Senator I mentioned refused to hear campus carry or open carry in the committee he chaired, effectively killing the bill. Which as you can imagine enraged gun rights people. He lost his re-election mainly (opinion) because of it.

Havent looked at new guns in a while but im wanting another sub compact single stack 9mm to CCW. I gave my Kahr PM9 to the wife when she got her permit, so i want something similar for me. I like the Kimber micro or ultra carry, i have the midsize Kimber 1911, but find it tough to conceal. Also considering another Kahr and the M&P shield. Not a huge glock fan, never could get used to the grip and trigger on my 22 or 27. Open to just about anything else.

I find the Kimbers to be a little difficult for concealed carry. Not a fan of Glock either. great reliability but natural aim point is way off for me. The M&P Shield is a good choice and one you may not have considered but I really like is the Taurus Curve

it is only a 380 but a great weapon in my opinion.
