Gun Owners of America is one of the larger non-NRA gun groups. I don’t know if they offer classes. The U.S. Concealed Carry Association certifies instructors. However, the USCCA instructors I know are also NRA instructors.

He’d been making videos under that name for a few years prior to being picked up by the NRA.

Because it’s being sold as another way to raise/waste tax dollars. If a non-governmental organization wants to fund and administer it, make opium dens great again. 

Senior refers to their USFSA (US Figure Skating Association) test level. It goes Pre-Preliminary, Preliminary, Pre-Juvenile, Juvenile, Intermediate, Novice, Junior, and Senior.  

But remember, someone was diagnosed and properly treated right away, never gaining any weight, so you’re just making excuses. That was sarcasm. It took a decade before my diagnosis changed from lying to fat, then 2 more years and some facial hair for the diagnosis to be upgraded to depression because of fatness.

This. I was too nauseous for anything other than water for 2 weeks after a procedure. I gained 5 lbs. I don’t think I could have eaten any less.

Going blind is blamed on fatness too.  

Do they ever. I got my only speeding ticket from a deputy driving an unmarked truck with out of state plates when I passed through.

The last time I was asked for ID at a grocery store was over 15 years ago. It still pisses me off that I could buy whatever the hell I wanted on the pedophile and Communist filled internet without needing ID to have my credit card stolen (all sarcasm) but not some fruit in a grocery store. Whether that’s earlier or lat…

Congrats!

Kudos to you and your awesome username.

I’m so glad you found something that works for you. Keep it up!

Only certain types of PFDs will keep your from drowning if unconscious. For example, the bulky type Is you see on cruise ships keep most unconscious people face up. The type IIIs are what the average recreational boater keeps onboard and those are meant to keep the wearer vertical. Type IIs are in between I and III in …

It was a shotgun.  

If I’d gotten married at 18, I might have considered a name change. I got married in my 30s and am not interested in going through all the hoops to set up a new identity. Any time I try to use his name for reservations, appointments, etc., I look like an idiot trying to check in because I default to my name. Doing…

From the other side, it’s equally crappy. I was using a local property management company so that my tenant wouldn’t have to try to catch me across the country. The amount I paid for A/C repair was just about as much as A/C replacement because the repair was never made correctly. I finally got my own HVAC guy in…

We’ve been heading this way for a long time. Now that we have President Camacho, I want to know where I can watch Ow My Balls and who will be producing Brawndo. 

I’ve carried a full sized handgun in a Smart Carry holster. I found it comfortable and discreet. I haven’t attempted gymnastics with it but hiking resulted in neither accidental/negligent discharge nor injury to the crotchal area.

Back in 2012 the evangelicals had a problem with a Mormon. Amazing how it’s changed.
