I was very surprised at the sketchy training required in MA in
order to obtain a LTC. It should be much longer and cover more.


My wife just completed a five hour course in gun safety and firing.
How much more time should be
spent in telling a person that every gun is loaded, point only down
range, and don't put finger on
the trigger until ready to shoot.

What kinds of things would you add to the course that should require
a lot more time.

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

Much more time in handling, loading, firing and cleaning of different
popular gun types.
Much more on general awareness of things like how far a round travels
for different gun types.
How to properly and safely "carry".
How to safely deal with jammed guns or "stovepipes".
Review of pertinent laws related to gun ownership and transfers.
Much more range time and instruction, especially for those who are new
to guns.

Finally, there should be a test. A real one, not a phony self
correct, self grade type thing like the one I took.

I can probably think up a few dozen more.

My oldest son and his wife both received their LTC in Massachusetts
before relocating to South Carolina.
Neither of them had any experience at all with guns. They took a
course that lasted for a month, meeting two or three times a week. 20
hours of instruction, then they spent 3 Saturdays at a range shooting
under instruction for a couple of hours each day.

When I took the course, it was one morning ... four hours of
"instruction" and one hour at the range. He covered the basics that
any idiot would know. The state has a checklist of items to be
covered, from handling guns to road rage. In many cases the
instructor just read the checklist off to us so he could claim he
covered them all.

I've learned more by reading by myself and from talking to experienced
gun owners at the range I belong to.


Whoops - she was taught how to clear a jam.

==========

Clearing jams, inspection, cleaning, unloading. A high percentage of
accidental discharges occur during one of those four operations.

From there you could go on to strategies for developing speed and
accuracy, range practice, different types of guns, etc.


She's got me for the cleaning. And, if the gun is not loaded, then the cleaning is not a safety
issue. She was taught how to check for a round in the chamber or in the cylinder.

Could she have been taught lots more? Sure - but she's not being taught to be an Infantryman. She's
being taught how to safely use a firearm. She's sure not worried about speed or different types of
guns. She needed the instruction on the guns we have - not someone's else's AR15.

Experience is a great teacher. You covered a lot of items there...many
of which she has no need to
know, like 'safely carry' (she's not), cleaning (which would have to
include disassembly), dealing
with jams (call the Range Safety guy), and 'much more range time and
instruction'. If she wants to
be a good shot with various weapons and be able to disassemble and
reassemble then perhaps you're
right. But, she certainly doesn't *need* all that to be comfortable
with loading and shooting a
weapon - safely. The pertinent laws were part of the class. She fired
a revolver (.38 Special) and
an M&P 9mm. She has no need to learn about a lot of different weapons
and ammunition.


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

Well, we'll have to disagree. If you think your wife (or anyone for
that matter) "doesn't need" to know how to disassemble, clean, deal
with jams (just call the RSO ???? ... I can't believe you said that)
..... then I'll have to make sure I never visit the range she shoots
at.

I bought some .380 "Snap-Caps" and spent an hour or so trying to
intentionally cause a jam in both the Walther PPK/S and the S&W
Bodyguard. I bought them purposely because they often don't work well
in some gun models .... just like some manufacturer's live rounds
don't always work well with certain gun models. I succeeded with
the Walther, causing a Snap-Cap to become wedged and stuck in the
chamber and the next Snap-Cap round in the magazine to jam up and out
of place behind it. In this situation, the magazine could not be
released (it was also jammed) and holding the slide back and shaking
the gun or pushing at the jammed round would not clear it. I finally
managed to get the jammed magazine round out, release and remove the
clip, but the chambered Snap-Cap wouldn't drop out. It was jammed
solid within the barrel. Finally got it out by lightly tapping on
the "lead end" with one of my cleaning rods.

I did this because a similar jam occurred the first time I used that
gun, except it was with live ammo. It took two of us to clear it, one
holding the slide back as far as it would go (it wouldn't lock) and
the other pressing the magazine release button while tugging on the
bottom of the magazine at the same time.

I learned that the Walther doesn't like ammo manufactured by
Independence. Since then I buy Winchester, Remington or Federal and
have not had any problems.

So what if something like this happened to your wife "on the range"
and the RSO wasn't around?

I have no desire to get into a ****ing contest with Scott. He has a

the current ammunition shortage. He responds with, "Why do you
think DHS is buying up *all* the ammo, some 1.6 billion" .....
insinuating that *that* is the reason for the shortage. He then
provides a link to an article that doesn't support his statement at
all. Yes, the DHS is buying up to 1.6 billion rounds over the next 4
to 5 years, but that is *not* what has caused the current shortage, as
the article points out.

But now he's focusing on the 1.6 billion purchase as being the subject
of the thread. Whew.

The ranges at which we shoot have extremely knowledgeable safety officers. And, she doesn't go to a
range without me. We have practiced with snap caps at home. She can disassemble the M&P 9 because I
taught her how to do so. For the instructor to have taught each student how to disassemble and clean
their own weapons would have been unreasonable.

Anytime my wife is shooting someplace besides a range, I'll be there. I don't expect her to be an
expert in firearms.

The question is why there are that many discrimitory laws benefiting
married people? It sounds like those evil churches influencing the

Since there is very little uniformity among the states about who, how
and what marriage even means, it is silly that we have that many laws
about it.


Those are federal laws, relating to taxation and fed benefits.
Ever see the tax code? States generally follow federal law as to
taxes/benefits related to marital status.
Churches have nothing to do with it, except as they influence society.
It's society's desires, forwarded via elected representatives, and the
weight of the public sense on the SC that determines what's
"discriminatory." Not you.
Let me know when the SC deems the marriage exemption unconstitutional.
So you can just forget about a simple flat tax and other wacko ideas.
The country has never worked that way and never will.
Just concentrate on waste and corruption.

I agree DOMA is a violation of states rights and disrespecting the
will of the people in those states who have decided that gay marriage
is legal. Marriage is a state issue and has always been. The word is
not even mentioned in the constitution. The federal government never
had any business passing DOMA.


Nobody cares about DOMA in relation to state rights except airheads.
That's all bull****, no matter how the SC rules this time around.

The real question is what happens when DOMA is struck down as I think
it will be and the SCOTUS simply punts on Prop 8, letting the appeals
court decision to strike it down, stand.
That would leave such similar laws in other states in limbo.

We may not be done with this.


Of course not. The SC will eventually be forced to step up and declare
discriminating against gay marriage unconstitutional under equal
protection. Because that's what society will demand.
The states will just fall into line, every single one of them.

Shhhhh, he and harry are having too much fun... Let them wallow in their

facts, they just want to, well.. Either way, it is what it is.

I saw the interview with the Congressman and a couple clips of the
questioning and the time line for release of information to his
questions. The "five year" stock and buying plan not only came late in
the investigation, but although it sounds great, is far from any usual
buying pattern the agency has, and... beyond the typical budget for the
term... kevin, harry and Dick will of course run with the DHS
explanation, simply because it suits their agenda. Fine, they have their
opinion but they need to remember, probably 48.8% of the population
stands with the Congressman who simply isn't buying it....

But you have to go beyond Jon Stewart and Rachael Madcow to get this
stuff, you have to want to know.

I understand that DOMA has nothing to do with STATES denying equal
protection.

Striking down DOMA means that the states can decide for themselves
about marriage. That was the case in other situations, and that will
be the case here.

Hence the 10th amendment.


Dickbrain... DOMA is a FEDERAL law.


The 14th amendment has NOTHING to do with federal laws. Try to keep
up.


Holy Christ! It has everything to do with federal AND state laws. Try
not to be particularly stupid.

You don't need a lawyer for marriage or divorce. Unless we have it your

There's +1100 gov laws that take marital status into consideration.
You want that all changed, as Greg appears to want?
That's just radical libertarianism.


The question is why there are that many discrimitory laws benefiting
married people? It sounds like those evil churches influencing the
government.
Since there is very little uniformity among the states about who, how
and what marriage even means, it is silly that we have that many laws
about it.


Those are federal laws, relating to taxation and fed benefits.
Ever see the tax code? States generally follow federal law as to
taxes/benefits related to marital status.
Churches have nothing to do with it, except as they influence society.
It's society's desires, forwarded via elected representatives, and the
weight of the public sense on the SC that determines what's
"discriminatory." Not you.
Let me know when the SC deems the marriage exemption unconstitutional.
So you can just forget about a simple flat tax and other wacko ideas.
The country has never worked that way and never will.
Just concentrate on waste and corruption.



The only question at hand now in DOMA is whether it violates equal
protection. Of course it does. It was discriminatory and
unconstitutional from the getgo. Nothing new either. Laws and actions
denying equal protection to blacks, women, Japanese-Americans come to
mind. Those were also corrected.


I agree DOMA is a violation of states rights and disrespecting the
will of the people in those states who have decided that gay marriage
is legal. Marriage is a state issue and has always been. The word is
not even mentioned in the constitution. The federal government never
had any business passing DOMA.


Nobody cares about DOMA in relation to state rights except airheads.
That's all bull****, no matter how the SC rules this time around.

The real question is what happens when DOMA is struck down as I think
it will be and the SCOTUS simply punts on Prop 8, letting the appeals
court decision to strike it down, stand.
That would leave such similar laws in other states in limbo.

We may not be done with this.


Of course not. The SC will eventually be forced to step up and declare
discriminating against gay marriage unconstitutional under equal
protection. Because that's what society will demand.
The states will just fall into line, every single one of them.


Gretwell needs to read the 14th again. Perhaps he'd like to tell us
how the specific sections do or don't affect both fed and states?

My wife has no desire to even hold or look at a gun, let alone shoot
one. If she did, and wanted to get a permit to own one, I'd recommend
she take the course that my son and his wife took that was far more
extensive. In anticipation of your next question, all my guns are
kept in a safe in my house and the only other person other than me who
has the combination is my son in South Carolina (in case something

My point in my original post was that I found the simple, 5 hour
course required to get a LTC in MA is marginally worthwhile,
especially for people who are not familiar with firearms or have
little or no experience with using them. I think that is a little
ironic for a state that otherwise has some very strict gun ownership
laws.

Good grief.

So you can just forget about a simple flat tax and other wacko ideas.

As long as special interests still control congress, we will never

Nor should we. It's very regressive. It hurts those who can least

That is exactly the issue in Winter. The state of New York honors
their marriage and federal law doesn't.
The thing that complicates this is they were actually married in
Canada but they did live in a gay marriage state.
If tossing DOMA assured universal gay marriage in all states, we would
not need the prop 8 case.


Who's saying getting rid of DOMA would do that? I haven't heard that
argument. Are you making that argument or are you just blowing smoke?


The real question is what happens when DOMA is struck down as I think

Of course not. The SC will eventually be forced to step up and declare

We come full circle back to the idea that marriage is a simple

we?

course required to get a LTC in MA is marginally worthwhile,

little or no experience with using them. I think that is a little

laws.


There is a whole list of courses available for my wife (and me, possibly) to take if we desire. They
include advanced handgun, personal protection, concealed carry, pistol cleaning and maintenance,
Utah/multi-state concealed carry, and a pot full of rifle courses. She took the basic pistol course.
Good catch on my next question. We do keep a loaded gun in the house, and have for many years. When
I saw the class given by a woman for women, I thought my wife would be interested. She was. Now
she's wanting me to take her to the range. It won't be in the woods shooting at stumps. Last night,

she take the course that my son and his wife took that was far more

What has caused the current shortage Scott, the government (via the DHS

public buying and hoarding more ammo than they normally need?






I don't know for sure Dick, but I am not writing anything off simply

Carried to its logical end point, your view leads to the inescapable

Since there are way too many people who would be all too happy to
press for eliminating all guns, the NRA serves as an effective
counterpoint to that line of reasoning. I think that if you actually
knew any rural gun owners, you'd find that they are almost universally
opposed to *any* increased gun control measures, mostly because they

BTW, has your wife taken the course which teaches all the items you
covered?

===============================================


My wife has no desire to even hold or look at a gun, let alone shoot
one. If she did, and wanted to get a permit to own one, I'd recommend
she take the course that my son and his wife took that was far more
extensive. In anticipation of your next question, all my guns are
kept in a safe in my house and the only other person other than me who
has the combination is my son in South Carolina (in case something
should happen to us.)

My point in my original post was that I found the simple, 5 hour
course required to get a LTC in MA is marginally worthwhile,
especially for people who are not familiar with firearms or have
little or no experience with using them. I think that is a little
ironic for a state that otherwise has some very strict gun ownership
laws.


There is a whole list of courses available for my wife (and me,
possibly) to take if we desire. They
include advanced handgun, personal protection, concealed carry, pistol
cleaning and maintenance,
Utah/multi-state concealed carry, and a pot full of rifle courses. She
took the basic pistol course.
Good catch on my next question. We do keep a loaded gun in the house,
and have for many years. When
I saw the class given by a woman for women, I thought my wife would be
interested. She was. Now
she's wanting me to take her to the range. It won't be in the woods
shooting at stumps. Last night,
while going out for dinner, she mentioned getting a carry permit. So,
she may be taking the next
courses sooner than I thought!

Oh, boy! Be sure to keep us posted...I don't often watch the local news
on TV.

Why do you have to be such an asshole, all of the time.

Tell the little woman who manages your life and pays your bills to find
something for you to do that makes you happy. Otherwise you'll sit there
pounding on your keyboard, chewing your fingers and becoming more
miserable.


It's called 'bitterness'. Damn shame. But, it happens.

Bitterness? I'm not the aging white guy whose beliefs and phobias are
confronting him...you are. In anything or everything that matters, I'm
very pleased not to be a hateful old fart like you, and scared stiff of
blacks, latinos, strong women, gays, whatever.

Fortunately, you right-wing assholes are dying faster than your breed
stock can replace you.


Yup, that's what I'm talking about!

So you would like to overturn the constitution and Bill of Rights??

It's important to remember that there is a reason for the way things
are.


Why do you think DHS is buying up all of the ammo, some 1.6 billion
with
a B rounds as well as armored vehicles, drones, and other hardware
until
now thought of as military gear, not "peace officer" gear?

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

Where did you hear that Scott? The DHS is *not* buying up "all" the
ammo.
The bulk of the ammo is being bought by private citizens in an
unrealistic belief and panic that the "government" is going to outlaw
it or make it unavailable. It's a bunch of BS.

Why does the DHS need armored vehicles? Why does the DHS need more ammo than what was
expended in Iraq and Afghanistan combined?

They heard there was a shortage and decided to stockpile for a rainy
day. ;-)
