Florida Shooters Network

Real figures are even higher. While they are only counting background checks, should a customer purchase 4 guns, there’s only one background check done. And of course, private sales don’t count too. GARY.

I understand. But sometimes life is a compromise. On one hand you have ranges that will not allow steel case ammo, or any ammo you didn’t buy from them that day. On the other hand you have range Nazi’s that will allow that ammo. Please post here the range that allows him to shoot his ammo so we can ...

They don’t care at Markham Park. Take him there. GARY

I only work shows now, but when I worked at the stores, all ammo was inspected before being allowed on the range. So I would tell your friend to be prepared to buy ammo that is “range friendly”. Try calling the local ranges, & asking them what their current policy is. GARY.

I have worked at several gun store/ranges where steel cased ammo is not allowed. It has nothing to do with safety, but has to do with the empty cases that are swept up off the floor.

They are the first to be sold at the gun shows. By noon Saturday, there’s none left. GARY.

Many people with CWP’s didn’t want to wait. We told them to come to the shop Tuesday to pick up their purchase. Ira’s closed Monday. Most were OK with that. An hour later the backlog cleared out, & we called them to come back to pick up their new toy. GARY

This past weekend’s gun show was the busiest I ever worked, for anybody. Not much inventory to bring back to the shop. It was like being a bartender on South Beach this past weekend. But next weekend, IRA, & I do it again. GARY.

I handled a new Shield today at the show. The new double stack version was barely a CH wider than the original single stack version. They’ll probably sell a kabillion of them. GARY.

I’ll be working at that show today with IRA. It’s a pretty good show, & has been quite busy since the rush. It’s smaller than WPB, but with a show this weekend at Miramar, Orlando, & WPB, I don’t know what FFL’s will be at WPB. GARY. How's Ira doing? Been a while since I've worked his table...
