I'm biased but would recommend service rifle competitions. There is a monthly match at the sheriff's range behind Cabelas in Gonzales. Those matches are 200 yards for service rifle and 300 yards for f-class.
Service rifle shooters are a friendly group and are always willing to help a new...
There was also a group of us that would meet for build parties. We called ourselves the SLAKERs (South Louisiana AK ERectors). Once again, I've lost touch with all those members.
Back in the early days of BayouShooter (circa 2008), we would meet at Sherborne WMA for some shooting & camaraderie. Some of the Baton Rouge crowd would also meetup for lunch but I've lost touch with everyone. There was also a riff between the original owner of BS and some members. All I...

How about a lot harder to find. I wouldn't consider either of those as "best in class" but at least everyplace from BassPro to Walmart has .30-30 ammo.
It has been a year since I was in there but Baton Rouge Police Supply has been my first stop for Blue Label Glock stuff. I usually call to confirm it is in stock, drive over, and then I'm out of there in 20 minutes.
As of this post, no, Jim's Firearms does not offer veteran / military discounts. They are a SilencerCo Speq dealer which can save you a couple c notes if you qualify.
