1. Buy less ammo, handload more
2. Get concealed carry permit
3. No more than 10 days between range trips
4. Continue taking son to range, get wife out more (although she is quite good herself)
5. Get new range buddy or two
6. Continue my missionary work on firearms and hunting amongst my fellow liberal Democrats
In addition to the foregoing gun resolutions, I’ll be shooting a compound bow someone gave my son and fishing more. Also, teach son to tie flies.
Part 1.) just arrived, the shootin’ spectacles – Part 2.) is to get them workin’ right (may require an optical do-over) so I can see what I’m shootin’ at. Part 3.) Make Expert with the AR (I can dream).
Ordered a .50 BMG AR upper ( Look Ma! No federal paperwork! ), and built an AR lower to put it on.
Learning how bloody spendy .50 BMG is, even to reload ( I already own an OWS Rock Crusher press … ). Not quite as bad as 20mm Lahti, but getting there.
Need to learn to shoot it effectively at stupidly long ranges … will need another gun club, as my current range is candy-assed about .50 BMG. Maybe I’ll go to Douglass Ridge in Estacada …
– learn basic marksmanship
– get people to go to Second Amendment March (state and local
– get training with my .308
– get one of my TN reps to introduce a carry on campus bill
Shoot the hell out of my CCW piece(s). Buy a new gun safe. Buy a gun March 2nd for SCOTUS oral arguments. Buy another gun late June early July when SCOTUS rules on McDonald.

Doc Weasel: You can shoot .38 ACP safely in that model 400 … the brass will resemble 9mm largo afterward.
9mm luger is loaded to the same pressure, and will shoot in it, but with some feed problems.
I did shoot .38 super in mine once … not again, Kinda scary powerful load for a blowback pistol.
January 18th, 2010 at 6:36 am
Get a job.
Purchase more guns.
Maybe some ammo if I get lucky.
Shoot more.
