    Might be some good news for our members up in the northwest corner of NYS. Defensor on Grand Island appears to be taking over the closed Niagara Gun Range on Niagara Falls Blvd. Let's hope they can make it work.

    I was at the show on Saturday. There was a good crowd. A mix of firearm dealers, ammo and knives. It was worth the drive.

    The Gun Show thread

    I just got back from the Rochester show. Plenty of dealers, but the place was a ghost town. Hardly anyone in the aisles. A dealer told me it was a lack of advertising. Usually Saturday is the busy day.

    Will gun ranges have to post "guns allowed" signs?

    Come September 1, will gun ranges be posting the signs? The whole idea seems comical. Let's hope the judicial system makes this moot.

    What is your dumbest or most useless firearm related purchase?

    *Handgun rugs* I like my handgun soft cases - rugs - for carrying pistols to the range. I keep guns in Bore Store cases in the safe. They are great, but a bit fugly for the range.

    Biden WILL Run in 2024!

    Remember 1980 when (then president) Jimmy Carter nearly lost the Democrat primaries to Ted Kennedy? Millions of party faithful saw the writing on the wall and tried to dump a standing president. They failed, and we got Ronald Reagan This dump-the-president movement will be back in 2024 IMO.

    38 wadcutter costs

    Recent reloads? About 30-35 cents a round. Plated bullets maybe a bit more. It depends mostly on the expense of the primers. Loaded back when primers were 4 cents each? 25 cents each if the brass was cheap.

    Time for a new leather gun belt

    I buy my belts from a guy who sets up at the larger gun shows in NYS. I've had the same belt for 3+ years and it's still in perfect shape. I think it might last me forever.
