My turn to seek out the Prayer Posse
Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life replied to Blackwater 53393's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Praying for both of you Respectfully Gateway Kid -
First my private ownership of ANYTHING bears no “civic responsibility” to either inform the community of said ownership or to enable any government entity to collect data for any purpose whatsoever! Second the authors of this legislation are claiming that such registration is historically accurate (NOT!) and necessary in today’s society. (Unbelievable!!!!) I would really like to see their justification to charge a yearly fee for the citizenry to enjoy ANY other enumerated right and make a claim that such a fee is reasonable. A right that requires payment is a privilege not a right! Further it is absolutely none of the government’s business how many lawfully owned firearms are in the hands of the law abiding citizens in the state when the government has such a long standing history of incompetence coupled with outright malice towards persons who have neither been charged or convicted of any crime. As soon as these State totalitarian politicians devote themselves to following the Constitution, protecting the people and incarcerating actual criminal elements, rather than attempting to choke out the liberties of otherwise peaceful people then maybe just maybe they can begin being trusted to handle more complex issues such as trash collection or catching stray dogs. (Things that seem beyond their current mental qualifications!) Creating dossiers on the public….. not part of their purview. Regards Gateway Kid

Heck, I have one of those and would sell it for half that price! Regards Gateway Kid

tried it….. deserves to be knocked….. thanks for the pineapple! Regards Gateway Kid -
Got the call for donations two days ago. I have been a life member since 2008, yet have sent voluntary donations every year until 2022. After listening to the spiel I asked the caller if they knew how much Wayne was going to be paid to go away. They didn’t know. I then asked how much they could get back if they auctioned off Wayne’s suits. Didn’t know that either. Told them when they resolved their housecleaning get back to me. Caller said she had heard that a lot. Regards Gateway Kid

Maryland: Semi Auto Ban Review
Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life replied to Lawdog Dago Dom's topic in TEAM SASS
While I agree that SCOTUS needs to step up and review, then correct the idiotic legislation that is overwhelming the legal system, I hold absolutely no confidence that our country can be saved by the courts. So long as there are no consequences, jail time and massive fines on personal assets for legislators who come up with this garbage they will continue to pursue their own agendas and just keep creating more and more laws like this. They have no fear of repercussions and they ignore the court’s decisions in any case. Check out Hawaii, New York and Illinois and how they have taken SC decisions to heart (sarcasm) With a heavy heart Gateway Kid -
Yet another example of people talking out their rear ends about something they know nothing about! Perhaps they should focus on stopping the gambling money from corrupting their officials and ending their never ending thirst for hundreds of millions of public funds to support billion dollar PRIVATE businesses. Then do a little research on why they need to take care of their own business before telling the people how they are going to abrogate their rights. PS can anyone give an example of a crime at a stadium performed with an “undetectable” firearm? Tired of self righteous cr@p like this! Gateway Kid

Don’t know. That was one of my questions. The regulations book says “capacity” of six. Doesn’t specify permanent, temporary or factory so thought I would follow up. Also “capacity” is combined between chamber plus magazine, so only five in magazine. I am an RSO at our state owned range and called the senior field officer to get information on the issue. Figured if anyone knows he would. Haven’t heard back just yet so most likely will talk tomorrow. Regards Gateway Kid

What would you be using your guns for? And how would you accurately aim? In CAS if you were to need a Hold over by four (or more) inches to accommodate your chosen bullet that takes time, not a sound plan in a speed game like CAS. sights regulated to POA = POI with a normal sight picture would be inherently faster. And if one took the time to duplicate the factory cartridge (typically set to POA/POI at 50 yards or more) with the taller front sight, it still would not gain the shooter anything at the 6-8 yard targets we normally see. I agree that on a collectible gun of some type they should remain unmolested as much as possible but on a gun used in CAS they have zero collectible value beyond their use as a tool, and their greatest future value is to another CAS shooter. I don’t worry about what my hammers look like when I am building a shed and I don’t worry what my guns look like when I am using them for CAS, so long as they work correctly. Besides, I don’t buy guns intending to later sell them, I buy guns to use! after I am gone my heirs can deal with selling whatever they don’t want to keep. I would recommend, file away, until your guns perform for you. Regards Gateway Kid

Mudflat I will take it at $50 plus shipping if it will work in the 88. Can’t use it in my model 100 for hunting as six is max capacity between chamber and magazine in a semi automatic. Still waiting for call back on use in a lever model 88 but would be cool to have in any case. Regards Gateway Kid will send pm with info in just a little bit.

I just replaced several standard sights on my Rugers with the On Target brass covers. Love the way the brass picks up the light and attracts my eyes. I am now in the process of shortening them to conform to my POA/POI. As installed they were about 4 inches low and after some judicious filing they are about 1 inch low. Headed out today to finish the adjusting. YMMV Regards Gateway Kid PS I feel the golden look of the shiny brass looks good with the shiny stainless of my pistols!

YES!!! They are putting a bike path at the back of our property and have been using the drones to do imaging for their tree removal. At about 80 feet up you can hear them over 200 feet away. Now they are bigger than the ones used by jerks trying to get pictures of your daughters or wife but regardless of their purpose they are danged annoying! Regards Gateway Kid

Looking for a couple extra magazines for the model 100 or the model 88 Winchester rifles. Will be marked 243/308 on the end of the magazine. M-100 or M-88 on the follower. Only want real Winchester as I have had issues with the ones marked “W” which are “Weiser” not Winchester. Bonus if anyone has a model 100 magazine in 284. Thanks in Advance Gateway Kid

Done the same for a long time. I have been told my OCD has contributed to being a bit of a pack rat and my desire for a “deal” means I buy when on sale sometimes more than I really need. All of which means I sometimes have supplies others don’t. As several have suggested it is more fun to shoot with friends than by myself so sharing what I have with those who don’t is okay by me (hopefully somewhere down the line they can be returned). If they don’t come back, at least we had a good time shooting together. Regards Gateway Kid
