LOL Harry, and how much did you give for that 'custom shop' CZ?

I wonder if the holes in ESAD's famous target sheet were from the CZ or a #2 Pencil?

The custom CZ is probably another Hatteras sportfish or lobster boat.



There's our boy W'hine, engaging in the same sort of snarky behavior he
exhorts others here to avoid.

Here you go, W'hine...enjoy:

I am not biting at that price. 9mm should be 15 cents a shot.

Me neither. But even WalMart is getting around $.28/round for Federal FMJ 9mm, in the 50 rd boxes.
In the 100 rd boxes it drops to $.22/round.


So, have you accumulated 100 boxes of 100 round each yet?

There are lots of guys who burn through that much in 6 months or less
of target practice or competition.



Not in this newsgroup.

Forgot to mention the trigger...bet you don't know why, without looking
it up.

Ambitious bill on gun control in Md. advances
By Aaron C. Davis, Published: February 28

Maryland Senate Democrats passed sweeping gun-control legislation
Thursday that would make the Free State the first in nearly 20 years to
require residents to submit to fingerprinting, training and background
checks to obtain a license to buy a firearm.


Is this going to be retroactive?

Probably not. Probably won't reduce the homicides in the state either. But, it'll make a few
liberals think the Democrats are really out to protect the population. Since August, 1982, 20
assault weapons were used in mass (4 or more fatalities) shootings. That's it folks, 20 assault
weapons used in 30 years. The mass shootings in the country during that time accounted for about 525
fatalities. That's just about what Chicago had in 2012, and Chicago doesn't even make the top 10 of
America's deadliest cities! (And now that Washington DC has relaxed it's gun laws, it doesn'tmake
the cut either. The new Maryland law should make a *huge* difference. We'll see how it reduces the
homicides in Prince Georges County.



Perhaps you'll have a flat tire in PG County while towing your boat or
trailer down to the Navy rec center at the Pax and you'll give a snotty,
racist answer to a PG County Mountie who stops by to help.
Hope so.

Seems fair enough for 115 ball ammo in aluminum cases...

That is what I saw 1000 round lots going for a year ago. Some was even
brass cased offshore manufacture.

The stuff I'm getting at WalMart is all brass cased.

I don't reload, so I don't care much if the cases are aluminum for
informal shooting. The results seem the same to me...the paper targets
and beer and sodapop cans are dead.

Buy 5000 rounds and it should be nearly free :)

Ammo is a mass produced commodity product...paying $30 instead of $8
because of an NRA-induced panic is...stupid.

------------------------------------------

The NRA induced an ammo buying panic?

Actually it was stupid, knee-jerk reactions like this, I think:

When are they going to require a license for the first amendment?

Let's see Herring whines and bitches about jobs going overseas but has
no problem buying Walmart Chinese stuff. Interesting.
