      Bison Hunting

      Haven't actually hunted Bison but spent the summer in Montana this last year and talked with a number of people about it. Basically there is a Bison farm...the one I was told about was outside Missoula...and you go, pay your money, and walk out into the field and shoot your Bison. They clean...

      Build private shooting camp?

      Well, just to be clear it is the OP's project, I have only offered to volunteer. I am getting worked up about it so if he doesn't go forward I might pick it up and run with it!

      Build private shooting camp?

      Got you. That makes complete sense. The idea won't be attractive to everyone for sure.

      Build private shooting camp?

      Regarding litigation risks, the way I dealt with it was to put the property in one entity, all other hard assets in a second entity and then have them lease the assets to a third entity which then contracted with a forth entity to provide turnkey operation of the range. If the range were to get...

      Build private shooting camp?

      If I recall right, our initial insurance quotes were about $2,500 per month all in and by dealing with the membership vs paying customer vs donation structure, I believe the rates came down to under $1000 per month for a $1,000,000 umbrella policy. I will pull the client files tomorrow and see...

      Build private shooting camp?

      I spent 6 months building a business plan and structuring funding for a very similar project in Colorado. It has not been opened yet but I can give you some thoughts we had to address: 1. Consider whether you want to do this for profit or not-for-profit. In a for profit model, a paid...

      22LR for self defense

      My primary concern with 22lr is betting my life on a rim-fire cartridge, not necessarily the caliber. I read the study he was referring to in the video and it made sense to me. Not advocating ccw with a P22 but it is a good reminder that a 22 is absolutely an option if that is all you can...

      Should I be weary of gen4 Glock in 9mm?

      Yes, as long as you don't want / need the mag release on the right side of the pistol. All 9mm G3 mags will work in any generation 9mm Glock. The one caveat is if you want the mag release on the right side, you can only use Gen 4 mags in a Gen 4 pistol.

      The state of Indiana requires any person working in the security sector as an armed security guard to be licensed. This license requires the person to provide the Indiana Public Safety Department with personal information and to attend state certified courses under the state legislative...

      Ever hurt yourself or have any close calls while shooting?

      I have had 2 VERY close calls. The first was when I was a teenager. My buddy was showing the the Armalite AR15 that his father had recently passed down to him. I was sitting on his bed with him showing off his gun in front of me. Sure enough he sweeps me with the gun and it goes off...

      Beech Grove Firearms

      Stopped by there today for the first time. Had the opportunity to fondle a few items and talk with 2 different people behind the counter. I was beyond impressed how friendly and knowledgeable the staff is. My wife (non-gun person, just along supporting my "habit") commented walking out that...
