Fletch

I just got my permit and my first pistol. After much hands on and research I went with a Glock 19 Gen 4 9mm. Cheapest findable ammo out there. I am 6-2 so I wanted a gun that did not disappear in my hand but not be too big to occasionally conceal. I am not disappointed. I will get a 22 after I hoard up a few thousand rounds of 22. But unless you can be at a store at 9 am every morning good luck on that!!

Thank you!

Sorry I was not too clear. I meant do they perform training that is required to get Utah permit, do they tell you what you need to do to get Utah permit or do they actually start your permitting?

So it is just basically telling you what you need to do, not doing it?

Has anyone taken the class offered by Concealed Carry USA for the non resident permits for Utah and Florida? Is it worthwhile? Any input?

I doubt that would happen with Syracuse being in the middle of that county. They act like it is the population of NYC! I live way farthest NW corner of that county and am out in the sticks so I would sure like it!

Yea the Sig Sauer Nightmare is a 1911. Around $1100 buckaroos! ouch

I am pretty sure it need to go back to the judge.

Yea I need to order too. Slacked so long I need to check on shipping. Need to get done soon before it is all green out!!

Next may be a 22 for plinking if I stockpile enough 22 ammo! Or a Sig Nightmare or a.....so many choices!

Oh I had one picked out already! Down south I played around in a lot of gun shops. I got a Glock 19 4th Gen for my base gun. Not big, not small, love the feel and dependable as all heck. And 9mm ammo is the most affordable out there in pistol rounds.

I deal with a lot of security, money and such for a nationwide company. Thing is I am upper management and on call 24-7 so I am always working! I asked at the sheriffs when I picked it up what the parameters were pertaining to that and they said it was up to interpretation! What the eck that mean!! lol So I can use sportsman- hunting , hiking, camping... Employment- when working....

Well 16 plus months later I have my pistol permit. What a bunch of hooey that was! Still got restricted employment /sportsman but it is a start. Now to take my Utah/Florida course and be good to go in 35 or so states! Does anyone know if the restrictions just apply to my county, Onondaga? Or all?

And my county Onondaga 14 months and counting for a pistol permit! That and has about a .01% chance of being unrestricted.

New York could learn a few things! Specially my stupid County. TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas legislators gave final approval Saturday to a bill that would nullify city and county gun restrictions and ensure that it's legal across the state to openly carry firearms, a measure the National Rifle Association sees as a nationwide model for stripping local officials of their gun-regulating power. The House approved the legislation, 102-19, a day after the Senate passed it, 37-2. The measure goes next to Republican Gov. Sam Brownback. He hasn't said whether he'll sign it, but he's a strong supporter of gun rights and has signed other measures backed by the NRA and the Kansas State Rifle Association. Kansas law doesn't expressly forbid the open carrying of firearms, and the attorney general's office has in the past told local officials that some restrictions are allowed. The Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kan., has prohibited the practice, but the bill would sweep any such ban away, except to allow cities and counties to prevent openly carried weapons inside public buildings. The measure also would prevent cities and counties from enacting restrictions on the sale of firearms and ammunition, or imposing rules on how guns must be stored and transported. Existing ordinances would be void, and local governments could not use tax dollars for gun buy-back programs. Supporters say a patchwork of local regulations confuses gun owners and infringes upon gun ownership rights guaranteed by the state constitution and the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. "Do you know what the gun laws are where you live?" said Rep. Jim Howell, a Derby Republican and the bill's main sponsor. "If you want to exercise your Second Amendment rights, you'd better be very careful in Kansas." Opponents of the bill in Kansas argued that local officials know best what policies are appropriate for their communities. "We don't want the feds imposing their will on us. We shouldn't be doing that to the local jurisdictions," said Rep. Carolyn Bridges, a Wichita Democrat. Both the National Rifle Association and the San Francisco-based Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence say 43 states, including Kansas, already significantly limit the ability of cities and counties to regulate firearms, though they vary widely in how far they go. But an NRA lobbyist said this week that this year's legislation in Kansas would make that state a model on the issue for gun rights supporters. The center says California and Nebraska have narrow pre-emption laws that leave substantial power to local officials and five — Connecticut, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York — don't expressly pre-empt local regulation. Patricia Stoneking, president of the Kansas State Rifle Association, said she's already been approached by gun rights groups in other states about the legislation and predicts it will spread. "This bill was comprehensive, and it covered every aspect of firearms," Stoneking said. But Jonathan Lowry, director of the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence's efforts to defend gun control policies in court and oppose the lessening of existing regulations, called the Kansas measure "undemocratic." "The gun lobby likes to prevent people who believe in sensible gun laws from having a say in protecting their own communities," Lowry said. "It's cynical, and it's dangerous public policy." Kansas last year enacted a law to allow people with concealed-carry permits to bring their hidden weapons into public buildings — including libraries and community centers — after 2017 unless local officials post guards or set up metal detectors. ___ Online: Information about the gun rights legislation: http://bit.ly/QPAC04 Kansas Legislature: http://www.kslegislature.org ___

Fillet it up into strips, dip in flour mixed with pepper and salt. Fry and eat yum!

I am a bit anti zoo. I realize for some animals it is necessary to maintain populations and it is neat for kids and adults to see animals they may never see. I just hate seeing things in cages. As for the giraffe, I see no issue with it and the meat was used well. They could have maybe not done it in front of kids.But then again, mine would understand. They understand animals die and other animals and us eat them. In the wild I am sure big cats eat giraffe!

I do the Vermont Moose draw every year. I have a few years worth of points. I think you lose them if you miss a year. I did the PA Elk for couple years but the odds.... I gave up
