It seems like the anecdote predates the sale? I'd think anyone in this type of business would have looked over the previous direct retail effectiveness and built around it.

Well yes, but in the gun business that rarely seems to happen.

Ballard arms now in Michigan? Not much going on there.

Duane weibbe sold his accessories business to an experienced CNC operator. I have tried buying product from him but he does not return email.

Seems like many guys buy a gun business after they retire from work and find that it is just not worth it. I'm sure exceptions are out there.

A lot of guys who take up golf come to the same conclusion.

I never did understand chasing a little white ball around but that is just me.

To obtain that level of excitement in my life I would need to buy some paint and watch it dry.

After passing many golf courses in my travels, I always imagine what a nice sporting clays course they would make!

I'm not the first to note that sporting clays have many similarities to golf. Numerous holes and stations, each with differing distances and distractions. Many use different chokes on differing shots which is similar to changing clubs. The focus and concentration needed during the shot(s) are nearly identical. Flinches are another similarity, though not limited to sporting clays as related to skeet and trap. In golf it is called either flinches or yips. One person "performing", while the rest on the squad or in the foursome are spectators, is the same as well.

I played golf for a few years in my younger days and enjoyed it. Not as much as sporting clays, however. But, if sporting clays had never been designed and implemented I would most likely be playing golf these days.

What is the new, or old, California rule regarding purchase of ammo? I just noticed a new notice on the RSTshells website:

>>CA residents will no longer be able to order online individually and will have to order through an Approved CA vendor<<

Re CA ammo law, Judge Benitez (federal) issued an immediate injunction to halt state enforcement of the ammo law. I think that was last Thursday, so we were able to once again buy ammo without a background check (and paying a fee for that check for each purchase), and we could again start buying ammo online without going thru a local FFL. That lasted until just before 10:00 Friday night, when AG Becerra got a three judge panel from the the 9th Circus to stay the injunction. So our 2A rights were restored for maybe 30 hours before the state screwed us again. Online orders that had not yet shipped were cancelled by the vendors. Don�t know legal status of orders that made it onto the truck before Friday night. Next step may be a hearing by the full 9th Circus, then maybe to the Supremes. Lots of strategizing now on both sides about how to move forward given the risks of possible precedent. FYI, this was the case brought by Kim Rhode with help from the CA Rifle & Pistol Assn (CRPA), with a little support from NRA. Local scuttlebutt says the NRA was mostly MIA on this one and CRPA did all the heavy lifting. I hate this state government. Lovely place ruined by the politicians and the fools who vote for them.

And I thought purchasing ammo via a drive thru @ a local gunshop was difficult.

Many thanks for the clarification.
