Brother I got my FID back in 2013. It took 96 days before I was handed the license by my local PD. AND THEY GOT MY ADRRSS WRONG.How long after fingerprints do you think I should wait before calling the FRB? Did prints one week ago. Also does the new gun laws just passed in MA affect new applicants?
There are no new laws(yet) and there isnt a grandfather clause for LTC's in regards to purchasing guns or ammo.How long after fingerprints do you think I should wait before calling the FRB? Did prints one week ago. Also does the new gun laws just passed in MA affect new applicants?
Yes i agree it means more new people getting Into the sportWe need another “How long does it take?” Thread.
Just make sure if you go to the range without an RSO when they declare the range clear tell every idiot that they’re not supposed to touch the guns when you’re down range because for some reason they always seem to. We’re going to see an uptick of “gun violence” from idiots being idiots.Yes i agree it means more new people getting Into the sport
Eh that happened after sandy hook too, things got militant at the range for a while but nobody got hurt and the idiots were weeded out pretty quickJust make sure if you go to the range without an RSO when they declare the range clear tell every idiot that they’re not supposed to touch the guns when you’re down range because for some reason they always seem to.

I wouldn’t say they got militant, I’d say they got retarded. i’m not gonna post any more photos. Why you don’t wanna go down range with retards. That’s why I like my steel targets. You don’t ever have to reset them.Eh that happened after sandy hook too, things got militant at the range for a while but nobody got hurt and the idiots were weeded out pretty quick
The media will always counter a positive (more Americans exercising their 2A rights) with a negative (shooting deaths are up a tick due to Americans taking more interest in 2A)
Lies and deceit are the only thing they have when we’re an armed population
So what are you saying? We need less new people in the sport?I wouldn’t say they got militant, I’d say they got retarded. i’m not gonna post any more photos. Why you don’t wanna go down range with retards. That’s why I like my steel targets. You don’t ever have to reset them.
But at the same time, it’s not the best for practice because when you shoot things that aren’t metal, it doesn’t make a sound when you hit it so that way you have to know you hit it for training purposes.
Plenty of people get hurt at the range, but it’s one of those things that most people won’t talk about. I’ll tell you firsthand other than the nes shoots.. there’s always risk involved like even the bigger one that I won’t call out by name up north they had to bring the helicopters in the rescue somebody from stupidity
I’m not saying that all what I’m saying is we need more RSO… as much as I don’t like the priceSo what are you saying? We need less new people in the sport?
I’ve yet to see an accident at the range in my years of shooting, yet to even hear of one
The only one I can remember is the machine gun shoot at Hanson.
And when I shot at Hanson, after panic #1 they (we) got militant
Not saying it doesn’t happen, but it’s a risk that has to be worth taking or you can kiss the whole shooting sports thing goodbye
Ahh public rangesI’m not saying that all what I’m saying is we need more RSO… as much as I don’t like the price
S of shooting at let’s say West Springfield “hot brass” at least all the stalls are bulletproof.
And there’s always an RSO
I would welcome more RSO's if that's what they actually did. There are to many that use the position to exercise their authority, to pat themselves on their back, and offer unasked or unwanted advice. If they just focused strictly on safety, then I have no problem having more.what I’m saying is we need more RSO
No. No we don't.what I’m saying is we need more RSO…
I wonder why.Brother I got my FID back in 2013. It took 96 days before I was handed the license by my local PD. AND THEY GOT MY ADRRSS WRONG.

I am not saying I am in a rush I know things take timeBrother I got my FID back in 2013. It took 96 days before I was handed the license by my local PD. AND THEY GOT MY ADRRSS WRONG.
That’s another huge problem with one of my clubs I used to join. The f***ing RSO would say hey you’re shooting too quick. Then I said hey did I hit the target at 300 yards every time.I would welcome more RSO's if that's what they actually did.

That’s the exact shit I’m talking about. You’ve got a guy on scaffolding with a loudspeaker saying hey a**h*** don’t walk down a live range.We don't need more RSO.
If you are a member of a club that is such a sh*t show, go to another club or volunteer to be the RSO, make sure you are reliable, or, if people are doing stupid sh*t, report them. I am not saying be a Karen. Example: I once saw an idiot walk out to change targets with a hot range while I was shooting, f*ck that moron.
The Old Colony RSO was annoying AF. I was a member there for 10 years. I stopped being a member during COVID when they wanted people to schedule time and make sure there was an RSO present ... f*ck that noise.
This is the kind of sh*t an RSO will lead to. You don't have enough volunteers so now you have to check a schedule and all sorts of other junk.
Sounds like the RSO got confused and thought of the job as an "authority position" rather than "Safety position".That’s another huge problem with one of my clubs I used to join. The f***ing RSO would say hey you’re shooting too quick. Then I said hey did I hit the target at 300 yards every time.
Then shut the f*** up and go back and have a coffee. My membership was revoked.
It probably didn’t help that. I said shut the f*** up old man. This is a range where they let some kid micro Uzi his face off, which would never happen with the rest of us.Sounds like the RSO got confused and thought of the job as an "authority position" rather than "Safety position".
I have seen that happen once in over 12 years.That’s the exact shit I’m talking about. You’ve got a guy on scaffolding with a loudspeaker saying hey a**h*** don’t walk down a live range.
We got the quad 50 and tanks and this guy is walking down range while we’re all unloading, full auto.
Yet you are asking for more RSO.That’s another huge problem with one of my clubs I used to join. The f***ing RSO would say hey you’re shooting too quick. Then I said hey did I hit the target at 300 yards every time.

lol. I got nervous. It was part of the directions. The guy was basically like hey you’re on your own.Yet you are asking for more RSO.
