I usually will just be nice and buy a box of ammo from them, but you don't have to.
The last time I picked something up, there was another guy there, too. Seemed a bit slow, couldn't catch on that though the FFL was being nice about it he was getting tired of having both uppers and lowers sent to his house for the customer.

I'm looking on amazon right now and while there are many low price options, those options have a lot of reviews saying the batteries were DOA or they died prematurely. It sounds like those problems are mostly due to people being sent several year old batteries.

Didn't even know WTF Front of Center was until the other day searching to see if there was much difference in point of aim between a 100gr. and 125 gr. broadhead, since I only had one of each left.

I know Moe says they're the greatest thing but I've been back and forth on getting one for months. I feel like it would be pretty cool but I love the zero maintenance feel of the G-Shock I have right now. One main reason I want one is being able to change songs/see messages, etc. while riding the motorcycle.

Changing songs while you’re on your bike sounds convenient though. No texts you big distracted rider head.

Somebody posted something recently about the form 1 efiles coming back quickly for a change, and we know Trump would be all too happy to sign off on something like closing new NFA registration

Has happened to us before with brand new RMR's many times. They ship with Energizer. Sometimes they're gtg, other times they're doa, other times they last a couple range trips then chit the bed.

My range has strict rules. They watch the cameras 24/7. 1 shot per second. I double tap and they don’t say anything. Mozambique’s, target transitions etc.
One time I got there and there were all these Chinese tourists or something there. Doing everything wrong. Looked dangerous AF and would be surprised if they all lived. I decided not to shoot that day.
At the same range I wasn’t there but a friend was. Lady who never shot or very limited experience turned around with the gun. When the guy there with her started yelling st her she panicked and shot him. Hit his hand or something like that.

Another range I go to there’s no RSOs either. Old school place. Owner is a multi time state IDPA/USPSA champ and he lets you do whatever there.

How much do we need to chip in for MFC to get Blump a camera pointed at the bridge?
Bonus: the person delivering the camera would likely crash and we'd get some stills and stories to hold us over while the camera is getting set up.
