Re: What you invest in?

I recently bought an annuity (and a coouple CD's) to try to stop/minimize the drain on my retirement mutual funds. I wanted to increase my monthly income, so this annuity via Fidelity gives me an extra 1K$ each month for 10 years. Between that and SS income, I can put a bit in the savings account ev...

Re: Looking at moving back to FL- any input?

Live Oak/ Suwannee county is a nice rural area. I must be right down the road from barricklow.

Not a whole lot of entertainment, which is fine by me. Lots of places for sale - at high prices. Lots of mobile homes.

Shoot in your back yard.

Re: New gun(s) day

Note to Dave: I have had more success when I load my magazines with the bullet in front, not pointing backwards.

But maybe they taught you that in cop school !! :D

Re: Does anyone have their own range on their property?

I am in Suwannee Cnty, living in the woods. Peaceful, quiet, cheap.

Did you have to get "approved" with the local PD?
Did they come and visit when you started shooting?
Neighbors call the cops?


No. none of that stuff.

I am on 15 acres, so neighbors arent too close.

I use a simple shooting bench on my slighty-elevated front porch. Perfectly legal. Steel is noisy for neighbors, ...
