here is an email list of the Public Safety Committee. They are meeting today to discuss HB 42 and HB5800. One is high cap mags the other is register your guns and reregister every 5 years. Sounds like some fun huh? We just got this list working last night so it may be too late but if you could send your voice of opposition to them anyways it couldn't hurt.

So, when are you coming down to MSI range at 281 garden grove st manchester, CT on a monday night between 5:30 and 7:30 but not in July and August, anyways? Lead or plated ammo only, no magnums sorry. The guns are ok but not the magnum loads. Whole big story. Anyhoo,,, 

This goes for anybody within the distance of my voice. Just sayin'...

[Devonai]

Thank you for the invitation.  What exactly is plated ammo?  FMJ?

[280plus]

No it must be marked "plated" on the package. FMJ and SJHP coatings are too thick and can form jagged frisbees and come zipping back at you there. Plated bullets you can cut right into with a knife just like you're cutting plain old lead. The thin coating keeps your barrels from leading. Newington Gun Exchange has Williams Cartridge Company reloads in plastic bags marked "Plated", those are ok.

Riverview on Rt 5 might have them I don't know. I think they are in E Windsor? But DON'T get the blue box "Bullseye" stuff. It is junk. Everything cheap Hoffmans has is junk too and they have a bad habit of selling guys the wrong ammo even though they know all about us. Pm me before you come just to make sure it's not the one night in every 3 years when I don't make it. I'll make sure I bring a gun or two, too.

Same for everybody else. You know who you are.

Gotcha.  Newington Gun Exchange is the only place I go these days except when I'm scouting for used pistols.

I'm working 12-hour shifts on Mondays right now, but when that changes I'll let you know.

Connect-a-cut?    Spent the first 18 years there and hope to never go back.  A place of idyllic  beauty, lovely old colonial homes, pastoral fields, rolling hills and bubbling brooks, filled with East Coast Ideas........ Come to think of it, that is sorta like where I live now-except not so many hardwoods.    Anyone one remember the days a kid could walk down Manchester Rd. with a .22 and get nary a glance?

Who, me?

One of these days I'll surprise you. But definitely not until it warms up enough for my Jeep to have at least a 50:50 chance of starting. I reload using Berrys plated lead bullets. I assume those would be okay, but how do I prove what they are? The bullets come in bulk, in plain cardboard boxes that are only marked for caliber and weight (Berrys doesn't sell any FMJ) ... and I package the reloads in recycled Winchester USA boxes for storage and transport.

I sent my e-mail to the committee, by the way. Are you active in the CT RKBA group? If so, kindly inform them that Woodbridge has a town ordinance that prohibits carry on any Town-owned property. They snuck it into the ordinance that prohibits unsafe discharge -- and then added a clause that carrying a loaded firearm, air gun, or air rifle is "prima facie" evidence of a violation.

Neat -- I can be guilty of illegally discharging a firearm on town property even if no firearm has been discharged anywhere within the town for ten years.

If it comes right down to it, scratch one of their noses with a knife?  I've got my reloading stuff sorta packed away right now, so I can't test it with my Ranier plated bullets, but it seems to me this ought to work.

Yes?
No?

Si senor, if you can easily gouge it it is plated.

Yep, they like to sneak stuff though like that. 2 years ago they snuck .22 LR into the hunting rules instead of .22 rimfire effectively eliminating the use of .22 mag. I was just about to buy a .22 mag Henry. Good thing I caught it before I did. Problem is hardly anybody hunts with .22 mag so there was nobody to put up any kind of argument.

So go down to the town meetings and make a stink. Think of it as an exercise in your public speaking skills and have fun with it.  Did you catch me on CCTV wrangling the DPUC board over the $1000 the gas company owed me?

I got a reply back from one of them this morning saying he agreed with my standpoint 100%. I'll figure out who later and let you know.
