he's probably going to go Darth Vader Scorched Earth for his next-and-last legislative season.  All-in, for all the marbles.  No guts, no glory, nothing to lose, burn all the bridges.  DGAF mode.  Going for that Legacy.

Or worse yet he might be willing to make small compromises so that he can pass as many infringements as he can before leaving, rather than going for “All or Nothing” like they did this last session.

General Discussion / Re: has anyone been pulled over with their CCW?
« on: November 03, 2025, 08:27:23 PM »
The closest I got was going through a DUI roadblock while carrying. I wasn’t too worried since I don’t drive or CCW if I have any alcohol at all. But I definitely was a little puckered/heart beating faster thinking in my head how it would go, and exactly what to say if they made me pull over and have a long interaction. But they just asked where I was coming from and I said dinner at my grandma’s and that I was taking my 2 toddler children home to bed. They just waved me through without asking another question.

Just for info I think my last few orders freight forwarding invoices from Kaleo Arms were around $1.60-$1.70 per lb. Although the prices may have gone up since then.

Just for you to estimate.

Buying local for standard/common bulk ammo can have some good deals. Especially around gunshow at places like HGS and Dangerclose.

But for specialty bulk ammo (that local companies don’t bring in) or crazy good special online prices, then I highly recommend Kaleo Arms. I have used them many times and they are awesome to deal with and the freight forwarding prices are reasonable.

General Discussion / Re: Grease - for guns that sit a while between trips to the range
« on: November 13, 2024, 03:24:08 AM »
I have been really liking SLIP 2000 EWL-30

The -30 is thicker than the normal slip 2000 ewl which is on the thin side. It seems to stay put better on slide rails and bcg better. And seems to last a while for dryfire.

I am like you and haven’t been going to the range much lately. But dryfire practice has been pretty smooth with the ewl-30.

And when I need grease. I have had good luck with Slip 2000 EWG. I have only been using it about 2 years. But seems to work good so far.

Mossberg MVP might be an option. A tad bit over 6 lbs. but they have iron sights built in. Magazine fed, a variety of calibers. 223 or 300 blackout would work good, and not too much recoil.

General Discussion / Re: How's the line at HPD?
« on: July 24, 2024, 03:46:33 PM »
I was there yesterday (Tuesday) at noon. There was nobody in line or showed up the whole time I was on the permit to acquire side. Then I went to registration side to ask a question, and there was only 1 person ahead of me, and one person showed up as I was leaving. Super fast.

General Discussion / Re: Palmetto State - freight forwarding
« on: January 23, 2024, 11:01:37 AM »
I just ordered from them around Black Friday, and the website had that shipping policy about freight forwarder on there. But I gave it a shot and they shipped directly to my house.

But I only ordered 2 scopes. No actual gun parts. So idk

For budget grade, best value and bang for your buck get a nitride Palmetto State Armory AR.

For a solid easy option that is one of the best values in what I would call the higher level of mid tier and very reliable I would recommend BCM Recce 16” with an ELW barrel.

just FWIW, got an email from Jen, they've lined up transport again, should be about $2 per pound.  She said they're planning a shipment in January, trying to avoid the holiday shipping flurry.  Same ND address.

I got the same email. I am stoked they are back up and running.

I picked up a killer deal on the second day.

$10/box of 50 rounds for newer production factory brass case 357 magnum JHP.

He only had 5 boxes but I bought all of them for $50.

Comes out to 20 cents a round.

General Discussion / Re: Fastest CCW Permit Approval
« on: September 20, 2023, 01:34:07 PM »
A few of the guys who took the class with me mid December 2022 got their permits in under 45 days. I had to wait until start of January to submit everything because of some paperwork technicalities. And that delayed me all the way until the end of April. So waiting 15 days longer to apply made my approval time take 80 days longer.

Firearms and Accessories / Re: what barrels on your AR(s)?
« on: September 14, 2023, 11:48:41 AM »
I like the ballistic advantage Hanson barrels. They are good barrels with corrosion resistant nitride finishes. And they come with a pinned gas block.

I bought my barrels from Bking. Best deal around for Ballistic advantage barrels.
