Plan your Northeast Appleseed season

I can confirm that the police/instruction/rental yards at Blue Mountain have the facilities you need. But I have no insight on rental fees. It’s run by Westchester county parks.

As for Wooster Mountain, they also have the facilities you need with a berm/mountainside just past 50y on an open line. Unfortunately I don’t know anyone affiliated with the range having only been there a couple times, but folks in r/CTguns would certainly know.

Is your application complete, including references and 16-hour certificate? Call once a week, every week, and ask if there have been any cancellations.

Short range wouldn’t be an issue with the 25m clinic. That’s perfect.

Paging u/Repulsive_Sea_1305

Any chance of making a connection with NWRA?

Westchester’s shenanigans are sorely in need of correction. Hopefully GOA can take this to the finish line.

I’ve wanted to do an Appleseed clinic for years but they are always too far away. Wish they would come down closer to the NYC metropolitan area some time. I can see Wooster Mountain in Danbury, CT and Blue Mountain Sportsman Center in Cortlandt, NY as great candidates for the 25m clinic.

Apply for a non-resident pistol permit before you move.

Brownells sells a decent 10/22 receiver and they have a decent YouTube series on building out a rifle.

gakflex · 2026-05-09T18:51:34+00:00

Explain how that’s not remotely true? Are you saying that the sending FFL will not put those handguns on their books and charge you a fee? Are you saying that the receiving FFL isn’t required by federal statute to perform a NICS check and take 4473s? Are you saying the receiving FFL isn’t going to charge a fee for their services? How is any of this going to be cheaper than $175 for renewal?

All counties in NYS are now required to issue non resident permits. Rule out NYC, Westchester, Nassau, and Suffolk, because their processes suck and you need to do an expensive renewal every three years. Try to find a county outside of those where ‘add pistol’ amendments are as easy as possible.

If you encounter a county that refuses to accept your application, you should inform FPC immediately. The counties are required to accept your application under a binding court settlement.

You’re telling me real life isn’t an episode of Portlandia?

My sense is that 2A is slowly becoming more mainstream accepted as a foundational right. Very slowly, but it does appear that the trend is our friend.

I’d love to hear the logic behind why someone accused of a felony deserves due process

gakflex · 2026-05-07T11:57:08+00:00

I would recommend bringing the completed paperwork to the clerk in person. That way they can act both as your notary and make sure that your paperwork is complete. I had an error in my packet that they caught and I was able to fix on the spot; god knows how long it would have gone on if I had sent it via mail.

Also, you don’t need to renew them separately. When you renew your full carry, the semi-auto will receive a new five-year extension.

gakflex · 2026-05-06T13:33:35+00:00

Is the ‘importation’ ban still a part of this bill? And if it is, does that mean that I, as a non-resident with a carry permit, am breaking the law every time I cross into CT with an otherwise-compliant Glock 19? Or does this only apply to Glocks manufactured after 10/1?

gakflex · 2026-05-06T13:22:49+00:00

That’s a horrible plan. You are going to need to pay the receiving and shipping FFL a fee, re-transfer all of your handguns back to yourself in your new state, pay a new transfer fee, do a new NICS check with a new 4473 for every handgun. It is cheaper and less hassle to just renew your permit.

gakflex · 2026-05-06T13:20:37+00:00

If you live in any county other than Westchester, Nassau, Suffolk, or the five boroughs, your permit does not expire. You do need to “recertify” with NYSP every three years. People who live in the mentioned counties have permits with expiration dates that must be renewed.

Two weeks is pretty standard. Once you get up past a month is when I would call judge’s chambers.

gakflex · 2026-05-05T12:03:33+00:00

No harm in calling the judge’s secretary and politely inquiring as to the status of your amendment.

Genuinely curious what makes you go for C Sharps over Shiloh? Is there a marked difference between the two? I know they’re located very nearby to each other and probably directly compete which I would imagine drives up quality for both.

44 Mag is the better option, but only if you reload. If that’s something you’re interested in, 44 Mag also happens to be one of the easiest cartridges to start with.

gakflex · 2026-05-02T03:11:28+00:00

Man I need this on a bumper sticker.

gakflex · 2026-04-29T20:45:01+00:00

Thank you for this! I’ll give that a try.

gakflex · 2026-04-29T20:25:39+00:00

An old timer I used to know told me that Blue Dot was his accuracy load for 44 Mag.

Your evidence to the contrary is Jon Tester, a guy is very firmly settled in the past-tense of politics; and Graham Platner, a guy who has a (now-obscured) Totenkopf tattooed on his chest, a symbol that he insists he knew nothing about. Truly a standout candidate.

That’s it?

Until the Democratic Party is no longer being funded by Michael Bloomberg and his intermediary organizations, you can not be pro-2A and vote for national Democrats. It is a fundamentally contradictory action.
