With the whole love, peace, and harmony mindset or the free love and mind altering experimentation? Hippies don't riot. They just sit in protest.

The MSM keeps pushing Zimmerman as a white guy.

When he is a Peruvian.  Hispanic.

Don't think that matters in some parts of the country. Not white = black/hispanic/asian and vise versa. But when it comes to the "new" Black Panthers and their plan? It makes me laugh. They're are a hell of a lot more good ol' boys, militia groups, and other scarier extremists in those parts that LA style riots are doubtful.

Like everyone was telling me ill probably get bored just shooting a AR, they were right lol.. I guess my next toy im looking to get is a single bolt .308. Off the bat my 1st choice is a Remington 700 series, like some of us were on a budget & ill be slowly upgrading it. I was looking at a Varmint or a SPS model, for sure I wont be doing any hunting just strictly target. All this is new to me, barrel length, heavy or lighter barrel, what do you guys suggest for a newb like me..

The overall quality of Remington's has declined since Cerberus bought them.  And it's especially noticeable in budget models like the SPS. I know you're only going to be shooting paper but I believe you'd be better off in the long run saving up for a better model in the series or following gsmgc's suggestion to get a Savage.

So, what, exactly is accomplished by obtaining the permit pre-training?  (the obviously baited question assumes you see some benefit derived from the process of applying for a permit)

I thought that part was pretty clear: because the majority of folks are taking the class to meet state requirements to purchase a handgun. Never said it should be a prerequisite for the class, just a sensible recommendation. Because if someones goal is to own a handgun, knowing that they can pass the background check and get a permit to acquire would certainly benefit them in the end. I don't think it matters if someone is going to get a long gun. It's about getting the printing/photographing/background check part out of the way and possibly finding out if there is something they need to resolve.

Ordinary cyanoacrylate adhesives will work but it doesnt store well or long and degrades rapidly after opening. If you keep some in your first aid kit you should check it regularly and have alternatives on hand. A suture kit would be great but regular butterfly bandages or a small sewing kit would usually work just as well.
