The hardest part of this for me has been the breaking of the illusion of "Land of the free and the home of the brave".
I relation to other countries around the world we are allowed more freedom than average. Certainly not as seen by the founders and certainly not controlled by "the people"...
Going to be there this weekend and wondering if any matches were going on? Looked on the USPSA club finder but didn't see any. If you have a club name to look up on Practiscore I'd appreciate it.
Shooters!
Sentry Defense, JPGar, and I are hosting a “Beat Cancer!” fundraiser match at Sentry Defense in Youngsville on Wednesday evening May 2nd. We will start with a Jambalaya feed at 5:00 for all paid shooters then 3-4 stages of indoor fun.
So far we have the following items donated...
So it seems that I've jumped into USPSA and am pretty hooked. Looking ahead for the year and a level 2 match to attend. I have not been able to find any info on the Louisiana Sectional. (Checked USPSA and practiscore) Please let me know if I'm just not looking in the right place and thanks in...
I'm planning to start hitting some USPSA matches (production) and am looking to upgrade my gear. Mainly switching to an inner/outer competition belt and good mag pouches vs. the 5.11 belt and paddle pouches I've been using. Are there shops in BTR that have much in stock?
I may be the only one that noticed or that it bothered, but did anyone else have their ears perk up when Trump made the comment about the military ""listening to him" in regard to going after the families of terrorists?
In case you missed it, they asked Trump about whether his comments about...
I am looking to get an auto thrower for occasional use shooting with the family. Doesn't need to be fancy. Just something reliable with a battery and remote. If any of you have any feedback on one in the $300-400 range I would appreciate it. Again, I know you get what you pay for, but this will...
I watch him occasionally and really like his delivery. Today I saw on the news that he was removed, but had been returned to youtube. Just went there and no Hickock45 channel. Anyone know what the deal is??
Asking for a quick opinion here. I have the typical entry level AR (S&W). The plan has been to get some more time on it, then move up and purchase as second AR that is considered better quality. I have been researching for a while and had pretty much decided it would be a BCM.
With the...
I need to put together a gunfighter type belt for classes and to use for the home protection set up. Nobody in the Lafayette area has anything of that type (as far as I know). Is there a store in the BTR area that has some different ones to check out? Would also need a Glock holster, dump pouch...
I went to the VATA Level 1 tactical pistol course this weekend. I have been to courses from 2 other groups previously and wanted to broaden my exposure a bit. Here are few thoughts about it.
Class make up was a mix of very new shooters, husband and wife duos, and some guys who have been to a...
I am in the market for a safe. I have found what I want, but am not sure about the lock. The convenience of an electronic key pad would be nice, but I have that nagging concern about it being over ridden and/or the always looming EMP. A dial would be a bit less cost and would have not battery or...
I normally carry a G 19 IWB appendix. Being from the Lafayette area, recent events have me thinking about adding a light. Is any of you guys carrying AIWB with a light? How feasible is it appendix? This would be with my 19 and a TLR1 or 3.
Thanks in advance for the feedback.
Just bought my first weapon mounted light. A TLR1-HL for the house G21.
I plan to shoot a good bit with the light on and have heard that the lens can get dark from power residue. My practice .45 ammo is pretty smokey and I don't want to degrade my light capability. I saw on one forum that a...
Anybody know of any clubs around the area that host matches? I go to the Bossier fairly often to see friends during the summer and thought I might try to squeeze in a match of some sort. Let me know if you have any info on the area and thanks in advance.
There is a provision in the law where carry is allowed in churches if certain criteria are met. (Congregation is notified, 8 hours of additional firearms training, etc.) I attempted to look up the specific language on the state web site and the link to the provision, RS40:137.9(U), says that...
I am a PT and use Rock Tape with my patients. If you aren't familiar, "Rock Tape" is one of a type of tape products that can be used for pain relief, muscular re-education, swelling, etc.
We just got a new order of tape delivered today and was pleasantly surprised to see Chris Costa on the...
Hickock 45 and other places on the internet have talked about a 2nd amendment rally at State Capitals around the country on Feb 8th at 10:00 am. My wife and kids were going to go as a capital field trip along with supporting the cause.
I have been looking for information on this for...
