Editor’s Comments:
In light of current events it appears
there is panic buying of firearms and ammunition. I noticed on the Cheaper Than Dirt web site that they had suspended firearm sales due
to heavy demand. Our local dealer also tells me that he has gotten many “out of
stock” responses from his suppliers on purchase requests. Be patient and write
your congressperson.
Slide Fire Rifle Operation:
Our club officials recently observed
a member operating a slide fire (or bump fire) rifle on one of the practice
ranges. This device is not illegal, but mimics full auto operation. Our concern
is rounds exiting the property due to muzzle climb, and the perception of our
neighbors when the sound is heard. The board of directors voted to require
approval of the use of these devices prior to operation. If you are planning to
do so please attend a board meeting.
Information On
Firearms Legislation:
We have had several members voice concerns about getting information to our
members regarding pending legislation.
A good source is: www.isra.org
