Firearms

Did not mean to hijack another thread talking about guns, so I thought I'd start a new topic.  How many out there enjoy shooting, by yourself or with a gun enthusiastic spouse? 

I have shot guns, but not too often. My thing is bows, actually. My reward to myself for hitting my goal will be a brand spankin' new Hoyt Easton (probably a Pro Edge Elite) and a membership in the local archery club.

Having nineteen years in law enforcement, fifteen pre-op therefore four post-op, a duty rig and vest are a lot more tolerable now.  As to concealing off duty, pre-op it was next to impossible and I'm talking a small/medium sized .380.  Now I can carry a full sized 1911, my gun of choice, without any problem.  Except keeping my pants pulled up!

Yes I'll bet the standard equipment is a lot more comfortable with your weight loss.. and an added benefit.. no more doughnut jokes :)  Can I ask what state you reside in? 

In wisconsin there is no proficiency required at all. Hunters education is enough to qualify for ccl .

Florida also has "stand your ground".  Plenty of idiots like George Zimmerman going around with a gun that should have never had a gun.  Then again, Texas has the "castle doctrine" and is home to nut jobs like Joe Horn who should never had a gun.  

There should be stricter guidelines to both own a gun and have a conceal/carry permit.

Too many nutjobs have access to guns today.
