Re: Where can I find Percussion Caps?

Try Bass Pro. Supposedly, you can check their store inventory online.

If you are near Orlando, call Buffalo Bill's Shooting Store.

Re: (2016 Lexus LS 460) Clicking / knocking sounds when turning the wheels

Good thing it's not a Land Rover. He'd not only have to replace the Muffler Bearings but as soon as he reconnected the battery he would have to top off the wiring harness smoke. Very expensive stuff & only available thru Licensed Lucas Electricians. Labor alone would be a couple hundred bux. :m...

Re: Traveling to Deerfield Il.

IIRC, your locked up gun also has to be unloaded. I think this meant the ammo had to be in a separate case. NRA has some info, but it is not very clear. https://www.nraila.org/gun-laws/state-gun-laws/illinois/ When I was growing up downstate, switchblades were illegal. Probably still are. Blades lon...

Re: Miami-Dade Requires BG Check on Private Sales?

Orange County home of the tourist trap, Orlando fun show mandates UBC. Contrary to popular opinion, the fairgrounds aren't owned by the government. The property is owned by a non-profit corporation, The Central Florida Fair, Inc. The property is not "public" so I am pretty sure the county...

Re: Miami-Dade Requires BG Check on Private Sales?

BG checks on private sales are completely unenforceable and not something you should comply with anyway. God, maybe 10 years ago they were running stings on them at the Miami gun show.
