I'd like to take this opportunity welcome our two new admins to TCCarry today -- Joe Penaz and Gary Shade. I know you'll all treat them with the great respect that they deserve.

Darn! I was so excited to be able to ask the experts about bail bonds and extreme shock ammunition!

Well, I gotta say that I've got a few questions about -- no, I'm not making this up -- the " FangFace AntiTerrorism round". Seems to me that a specialty round, suitable only for shooting terrorists in need of orthodontia, should have a very limited appeal. Which may explain the price, come to think of it. This may help: Quote: It fragments in logamarithmic(sic) proportion to the hardness of the target it strikes.
Gee. Some things are kinda easy to make good, clean fun of . . .

For my mocking needs, I personally prefer:

Might I show you a fine "revered Mullins R&D Facility in Clintwood" or an authentic "R2LP, Accuracy, Environmental Safety, Range Friendliness, "Shaped Charge" performance, and Subsonic Perfection!", as well?

( After he put a link up to it on his eye-bleeding webpage, which I thought was a foolish thing to do, and told him so.) He said that one of his consultants told him to link to it, and said that it had worked out very well for him, and that he was getting a lot of students from that link.
(I don't make this stuff up, you know.)

You had to bring it up again and I was stupid enough to go look. The things I read on his web site just bug me.
Quote: Ask you potential instructor if he has in the last year invested the money and had 10 full days of tactical pistol training so he can train you at the level we can! No one can claim this but PCSD OK, did he graduate, or receive a certificate of attendance? or - Quote: Obama is in, we have no idea what will happen with carry. Get grand fathered in now by taking a course before he changes things! Grandfathered in for what? If the Minnesota permit law was to be rescinded, I don't think that anyone would be grandfathered in, unless you think that the expiration date on your Minnesota permit means nothing.
Several places on his web site he says that his training is good for a New Hampshire permit, what kind of BS is that? And doesn't the scuba diver's license, instrument rated pilot and a class "A" commercial drivers license tip people off that he is full of it?

If the Minnesota permit law was to be rescinded, I don't think that anyone would be grandfathered in, unless you think that the expiration date on your Minnesota permit means nothing. I think it's, err, more of an, err, marketing ploy rather than the sort of well-thought-out, detailed analysis that one might wish for.

JP wrote this in one of his responses,
"I have done CCW classes for many Law Enforcement professionals. Again, are you calling the deputy a liar? What about retired police officers or departments that do not encourage off-duty carry under their licenses, positions like jailers and prison guards? What if an officer wants be able to have a glass of wine when he is out to dinner? That's why they get a permit. They carry under it as a citizen when allowed. "
It kind of sounds to me like he is saying it is leagle to consume alcohol while you are carrying if you have a P2C.
forgive if i am wrong but it seems to me that one of the base rules of haveing a P2C is that you may not consume alcohol while carrying----
let alone of the base rules of firearms handling, you dont (at least safe and reasonable hunters dont) drink before they go out hunting or while they are out hunting, so why on earth would you while you are carrying a gun for other reasons.

Well, a stopped clock is right twice a day. It's lawful to carry, in Minnesota, with a BAC under .04. I don't see any compelling reason why, when I'm out to dinner with my wife, that I can't have a single class of wine. If I feel like knocking back a few -- or more than a few -- more, it can be her turn to carry for both of us, and drive, as well.
