Check out videos on YouTube, and some forum threads (AR15.com and snipershide.com, both have good information).

I don't know if there's a limit on how many you can get at a time. The last time I got some, I picked up 5 purchase permits and they last for 5 years. I'm actually about to get into a conceal carry class split into two days next week so I won't have to sit through 8 hours of non-stop lecture. 4 hours is much more feasible. I'm doing the pre-qualify part at the gun range tonight.
Yeah my neighbor mentioned them too. I was worried about the weight cuz I wanna put it on the 2nd floor at my house. I would ask a neighbor but I wouldn't want them to know where I put my stuff either. They barely know I have a gun much less how many I have.
I just had one of my boys help me move mine. For second floor moving, you need a decent handtruck with pneumatic wheels, and some muscle.
But yes, I am leery of my neighbors knowing about my shit too.
Bro, I've learned so much from YouTube, it's crazy. These white guys aren't bullshitting when it comes to anything dealing with guns (I don't give a fuck if some of them are predjudiced, good information is good information). I've learned how to clean and lube AR-15s, Glocks, Bolt-Action Rifles, and Shot Guns. I've learned how to put ARs together and break them all the way down. I wasn't in the military, so this stuff helps me out a lot.
I've learned about DOPE (Data Of Previous Engagement), how to properly sight in/zero your rifles. There's a wealth of information there. Just search. I would say, look at more than one source, because different people have different ways of doing things. Verify all of the information that you gather though.
I'm going on an Elk hunt in Arizona this September (If COVID doesn't mess it up). Yesterday I sighted in my 300 Win Mag. It's zeroed in at 200 yards. I don't plan on shooting past 300 yards, but if I have to I know how much to "hold over."
All I usually hear about is people saying, "I got this gun." But, I never hear them talk about maintenance, bullet selection, ballistics, or training. You're doing yourself a disservice if you don't learn all you can about your weapons.
I love this thread, because Brothers are sharing information about firearms, and we can check each other if something isn't right.
In NC you can get five of the paper permits at one time. You can get all five especially if you are going to buy that many at one time but once you have your conceal license you wont need the paper ones anymore. Just know its about 3 months from the time you submit your paperwork from when they actually send it back to you. (I say send it because they are mailing them now due to covid, but if they reopen you will have to go pick it up)
I looked at the VA route but ultimately went with a 1 day class for 8 hours in Greensboro. It wasnt that bad and they gave plenty of breaks. I did the shooting portion the day before so once it was done it was done. I learned a lot in that class and I found it interesting to see who was IN the class....a bunch of white women...and I mean a BUNCH.
How do you like that hellcat? Its my everyday carry and I havent found a flaw with mine yet after about 800 rounds plus.
They reopened the sheriff's office to pick up your conceal carry again. I was just downtown about 3 weeks ago to pick up my permits and they had a separate line for conceal carry renewals as well as ppl on the same line as me for new conceal carry licenses.
I haven't fired the Hellcat yet. I'll be doing that today when I go to the range. I'm bringing it along with my VP9. I really enjoyed shooting with the VP9
Not needed on 80% lowers...well for now
Just came back from the range and I definitely like the Hellcat. I'm looking forward to having it as my EDC once I get my conceal carry. My VP9 is still my favorite gun and will probably be my gun of choice for the range but the Hellcat will definitely see some more range time as well.
When I was at the range, they had a brand new Desert Eagle available for sale.
The sight of it in person had a brother like
and then I came back to reality when I heard it would cost $1900. The weight definitely reminds you how serious it is and makes you imagine flying across the room equally distant to the person you shoot with it

So many Bros love the Hellcat. I can't shoot sub compacts to save my life (wait...), but yeah. I done buying anything smaller than a compact.
It feels very comfortable to shoot with despite it's smaller size. Even my instructor was surprised at it and the fact that it can hold 11 & 13 rounds in a clip.
Slight upgrade to the VP9. Can't wait to use it at the range
Let me know how it goes... I have the "inserts" on my VP9 as well, so I can also add optics too. I'd be interested to know what you experience.Slight upgrade to the VP9. Can't wait to use it at the range
Was close to picking up a Springfield XD-M Elite too but didn't like the way it felt holding it. Almost as if the grip was too narrow and I'd have to oversqueeze to hold it. The grip on my G3 definitely feels better but damn this gun is sexy
I, too, almost purchased one of these until I held it. I'm so happy I went with the VP9 instead. Now, for weeks, I've been trying to unload my XDs .45ACP to get the Walther PPQ.
If you already have the base plate then the optic install is very easy. Work permitting, I'm taking it to the range this weekend.
If the grip on that felt better then I might have walked out the store with both that and the Hellcat. Probably still would've got the VP9 later on though. Either way, I was disappointed with that Springfield after falling in love with how it looked.
I had the chance to run a few of my subs today.
G43 + P365 + Hellcat
I shot way better today. As a result, the P365 will be auditioning as my backup EDC. The G43 is a steaming pile of shit. I need more trigger time with the Hellcat.

Have you ever shot a pistol with a RDS?
I only ask because, I just started shooting RDS on pistols. I have been having quite a time unlearning some core shooting techniques to allow for RDS shooting.
Any tips you or any of the Bros, would care to share?
No this is my 1st RDS. My VP9 & Hellcat are optical ready so I figured lemme hook the VP9 up since it'll be my primary range gun
I do have a brand new Springfield XDs .45ACP mod2 that I bought and have not put a single round through (because I'm just loving my VP9 too much) and I'm willing to let it go for a reasonable price. Would you be interested?
It's bad enough shooting with some compacts (the extended mag helps) but to shoot with a sub with my hand is a no. Had a friend of mines with a sub as his only firearm. Once he shot a few of mines (full size and compact) he wanted to throw away his sub.
Me personally I have no formal training, just picking up knowledge through reading, videos, and guys around me with some form or another of formal training. Any decent range will have some form of training that you can take part in.
Does anybody know of a good online ammo store?
These are the main ones I use.
Ammo is low everywhere so if you see something you want to get that shit right away or it will be gone just like that.

I trained with "Firearms Training Associates" here in Southern California... The instructors are made up of ex-policemen and military personnel. They go from hand guns all the way through 1000+ yard rifleman skills. The best money I've ever spent in my life. I got the certification for Long Range Rifle Shooting.

I took a small class at the range with a private instructor to check my posture and correct any obvious mistakes I make. There are classes that are held there as well for basic gun safety as well as conceal carry. I found out about more via the NAAGA group I'm in on Facebook for the NC Triangle area.
