CCW Signup - Semper Fi

Kind of a hassle with five nights of class but it does get done quick. They're also looking at two 8 hour days - Saturday and Sunday, but have not committed to anything yet on that schedule. They're already approved for training and are trying to see if they can move ahead with the training before all the forms and such are published. At least that way you'd have the classroom and range done. Might be worth a look at for some. Jeremiah at Semper is a really good guy to deal with.

1. We're told NOT to judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics.

BUT...

2. We're encouraged TO judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics.

[QUOTE=Quick Silver Z;1584947644]Man dies after Lyons gun range incident

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/l...,1246292.story

WOW, that sucks, Midwest Sporting Goods is a Gun Store I frequent quite a bit, and I know the gun employees there well, and came really close going shooting there last week (ended up at Article II in Lombard instead). One of the Co-owners at Midwest is a really nice guy and I hate to see this type of stuff.

Initially they are calling it an accidential shooting but don't know how it can be an accident with multiple shots to his neck and head.

Only time will tell exactly what happened I will be glued to this local tragic story.

Well it certainly could be an accident with an unexperienced shooter shooting through the wood material that seperates the shooting stalls, but this is a bizarre tragic situation and time will tell exactly what happened.
