Definitely state. Definitely California. Our state wasn't satisfied with
just having some of the most ****ed gun laws in the country, they had to
make them worse this year. As you said, nobody but cops get cut any slack.
Everyone else, including hunters, veterans, etc, are all taking it up the
ass. CA needs money, and it's your money they're gonna get!

For some reason I thought you were in AR or TX. But, when you started
describing the bullshit you had to go through, I knew you were in CA. Sure
enough, a neotrace of your IP shows you live in sc. I'm in SFBA too. Which
store had the Springfields on sale? What range do you shoot?

Oh c'mon! I love SJ. Worked in the silly valley for 12 years, been in the
SFBA for 30. But, it's never going to be the SJBA. Sorry. SJ just doesn't
have the history and/or name recognition. That's just reality. For us
SFBA'ites, it's a none-issue (at least for me)

Cool. Let them decide. I taught my daugter to shoot at a young age. And,
while she showed some real promise, she was not really interested after the
first 2-3 sessions. Hey ...her choice. I respect it.
