To the second, she is much better thank you! Rough night, but whatever it was seems to have passed. She is terrible with teething so it could have been that, again...

Same here Dan! Except born maybe 5 miles away, raised in the home my mom was, the home my grandpa was raised in and great grandpa built!!! lol I toy with the snowbird idea, you know, the whole Arizona for the winter like every other person I know around here, but the heat would kill me. I'll just visit now and again!

Fingerprints, background check, $60 and 6 weeks here. No testing in any way...stupid if you ask me.

Me neither, but love to go shooting with! My FIL is a cop, and several friends. Most my handgun time comes from them, and I've gotten quite good. Rapid fire, 3 shot, and target. My rifle experience comes from my cousin, Marine Recon sniper. He's fun to learn from....

Thanks Mike for asking about Claire and I'm sorry yours isnt much better yet...

Jim, who knew man, I thought I would see otherwise tonight. Sorry my friend.

im a pretty good shot with my rifle... had it as the range with the target all the way out.. and i was just playing around having fun.. id already taken out where id wanted to hit.. but still had plenty more ammo to go through... so i just started to "draw" things in the targets... granted i could see it through the scope... but i had a guy come up behind me.. (apparently watched a bit too) and "told" me i apparently couldnt shoot worth anything... i asked him why and hed "told" me i wasnt hitting anywhere near the center... when i answered back i wasnt trying for the center he commented back that it had to be because "i couldnt shoot"... i just smirked and brought the target back and he just shut up after that... id cut out the little 1"x1" guy in the corner and had been drawing a big happy face in the head of the bigger target... only thing the guy said before walking away was. "nevermind i guess you can shoot".. i just chuckled as i sent it back to the end and resumed shooting...

I like it down here. I can be in any of four states within no more than an hour or so and there's plenty to do nearby.

Years ago, I lived in Suffolk though.

Thats pretty funny about the shooting! he should have been quite. We shoot the AR at around 100-300 yds and do really well, the new MP5 .22LR at 75yds and the handguns at 25'-75', but thats getting very far out for a 4'' barrel.

nice... all i have for a rifle is an old J.C. Higgans 22LR... i love shooting that thing... need to replace the ejector spring though.. one in there is worn out.. but not bad for something older than me lol.. think its older than dad too cuz he got it from his dad...

got a shotgun im pretty good with but i dont like it much... thing kills my shoulder.. had it at the range once and after the 3rd shot i couldnt fire it anymore.. let alone anything else... but i do have a nice array of pistols though...

it's really accurate, at 75yds, which is about a .22 high velocity range to shoot in, comes with a 22 rd clip, and everything that fits a real HK MP5 fits this. As far as fun guns go this is great. Less than $500 from my dealer. They retail for around $550-$650 locally. Anything else youd like to know?

hmm I have no experience with a Tek 9, but maybe you need to move your head away from the ejection port?? Just playing buddy, Ive never shot one so I dont know...
