Burned Out (10/11)

Very sorry to hear this. Major loss for WI and A5.
-
Pretty sure that long guns can also mail out of state to an FFL.
-
Sorry, missed the part about them sending you a label. It's perfectly fine to do it that way w/no FFL.

Both UPS and FedEx have implimented policies that restrict unlicensed individuals from shipping firearms. USPS also prohibits nondealer shipment of firearms through the mail. So, although federal law specifically allows unlicensed individuals to ship firearms to a manufacturer or gunsmith for repair or modification, and to receive the item back without going through a dealer (meaning no new 4473), that's no longer possible with the big carriers. It has to be shipped by someone with a special account and they won't give you that status unless you're an FFL.

Fall Classic in Rolla MO the past couple years they had volunteers from Ft. Leonard Wood reset stages. Cost them nothing and military folks got community service credits for doing the work. Good deal for all involved.

It's a ten month old thread, and OP hasn't been back since. Just sayin'.

Sorry, I just don't see either of those justifying an entire separate division, which is exactly the same as an existing division, except for a certain type of gun that offers no real competitive advantage. Particularly when we have too many divisions and too many Nation championships already. Personally, I think the best suggestion so far is still four division: Minor Irons, Minor Optics, Major Irons, Major Optics. -

No idea why this is a problem. If it's not 2011s, it's gonna be something else. And if people like to shoot 2011s, and they do, why would you want to discourage that? You're right. Forgot about that. Well said. -

They did the .40 min for major mainly because they knew if they didn't people would load 9 major for their Limited guns, which they thought would be a safety issue. As for .40 being a dying caliber, I think that's overstating things a bit. There's still a LOT of brass out there for relatively cheap, and although it's not nearly as popular for a carry round, it's still in use and commercial ammo is still available. It's not anywhere close to .38S situation. Just seems there are plenty of divisions to shoot minor pf already, so some of us just don't see the point of adding more. Like I posted above, CO and LO are essentially the same thing, except for SA in LO, which is no real advantage. So, what's the point of having two separate divisions? Haven't seen a legit argument for that yet. -

I'm referring to your comment that new divisions should be geared toward cheap off the shelf ammo and cheap highly available production guns. That's not what most CO shooters are running these days. At least not in these parts. -

Yep. Let's just dumb it down so everyone has to play by rules designed to attract those who are the least committed to the sport. That's a great plan. -

The whole point of having major power factor relates back to defensive rounds. People here seem to think that because nobody carries 40s or 45s any more, we should move everything to minor pf. In reality, most defensive 9mm rounds are well above 125 pf and many are actually closer to 165 than 125. Also, part of the game was learning how to manage recoil, which is a non-issue with minor pf. At least for anyone with a moderate amount of training and experience. If people want to do away with that, whatever. But, it's kinda like Ironman saying we're not going to have a swim segment because some people don't like it. -

Maybe check ISP round and similar, which are pretty typical LEO issue for 9mm. Pretty sure those are north of 150 pf. -

Well, I would say the same for your suggestion that the organization do away with one of the three pillars of the sport, just because some people don't like it.
