Re: Restoration of my rights ??

Let's please not let this discussion disintegrate into any kind of name-calling or personal bashing. The OP has a legitimate question (which I believe has been answered), whether or not you believe the motives or the methods that have been implemented up to this point.

Re: Restoration of my rights ??

I appreciate everyone's comments and suggestions, except for Flavet's ... whose comments reveal him to be - in my opinion of course - just plain weird and an frigging idiot to boot. Sweetpea, I appreciate your comments and can understand your point of view. However, I beg to differ: there is a HUGE ...

Restoration of my rights ??

I went to purchase my first gun at a local Gander Mountain last weekend, and my application was denied. I'm 53 years old, and was convicted back in 1981 of "sale and delivery" of marijuana down Florida. I thought that conviction was sealed but obviously it was not. I have not used any ille...

Newbie needs advice please ....

Hiya folks ... I shot a couple of pistols last week down in Tampa with my brother; it was the first time I've ever fired a gun. I shot a Hi Standard 22 long, and a Ruger 380. We had a lot of fun, and I'd like to buy a 22 pistol for myself. I'd use it mainly at the range down in Roanoke and out in th...
