[Flip]

A few people as well as myself have expressed interest in setting a date to all meet up at Ed's in marietta on canton road to go shooting. What date do we want to do it? This saturday or next saturday around 3:00?

[quickdodge®]

Hold on a second.

*walks outside.............pulls out .380.............fires off a couple of shots................comes back to computer*

There. No need for me, lolol. And I really did just fire it off. Because I can. Later, QD.

[ShooterMcGavin]

[Flip]

LOL good idea :)

[Flip]

Maybe we should give people a little more time to plan and set it up for either next weekend (May 6th, or the weekend after that). What do you guys think?

[A.P. Photography]

Not many from this site will be up for May 6th. You have DGTrials that day as well as Pablo's Birthday party.

[quickdodge®]

Fuck Pablo and his party. Later, QD.

Hey guys i had fun out at the range. We'll have to do it again. Maybe we we can make it a monthly or bi-monthly thing...

I know some of you were curious about the laws on carying a firearm in your car. Here are the laws... Paragraph D is the one you want to pay attention to.

16-11-126.
(a) A person commits the offense of carrying a concealed weapon when such person knowingly has or carries about his or her person, unless in an open manner and fully exposed to view, any bludgeon, metal knuckles, firearm, knife designed for the purpose of offense and defense, or any other dangerous or deadly weapon or instrument of like character outside of his or her home or place of business, except as permitted under this Code section.
(b) Upon conviction of the offense of carrying a concealed weapon, a person shall be punished as follows:
(1) For the first offense, he or she shall be guilty of a misdemeanor; and

hey philip, the passage in bold is what was confusing to me, to me that sounds like you can have it loaded and sitting on your car seat or something (as long it's not covered); or is this only if you have a ccw?

I think i had forgotten about this part when i was talking to you about it before. That does mean that you can cary it loaded as long as it is in plain view. I take this to mean if an officer walks up to your car, when he shines his flashlight in your seats he will see it. If you're carying it anywhere else in the car (besides glove box or similar compartment) like on the door, or in it's case, it must be unloaded and seperate from the ammo.

Make more sence?

[Crowml]

you gusy going again sometime soon? How about Autreys in Fayetteville? Some of the nicest lanes around

yep makes perfect sense and that's what i had thought all along, guess there was just a misinterpretation of what my thoughts on it were. :goodjob:

probably not for a month or so, at least that goes for me. and fayetteville is too far for me to go to shoot =/

[Flip]

Yeah i'm thinking another month or so like you said... Fayetville is kinda far, maybe we could find one somewhere in between? :) I was thinking hotshots in lawrenceville square for our next one. I heard some interest expressed in going to that one.

[Flip]

I think I interpereted the part about having it in a case seperate from it's ammo meaning anywhere in car besides the specified places it must be in a case. But I forgot it said or in plain view... You were right all along :).
