Gun parts and accessories at gun shows

Texas Gun ShowsThis weekend there is another Gun Show in my area that is one of my favorite places to go.   I hear a lot of gun  shops complaining about how the internet is taking away a lot of their business because people just go online and buy stuff and have it shipped to their homes.    The reality is that this is true, but sometimes you still want to feel something in your hands and a gun shop or a gun show is the best place to pick something up and hold it in your hands.   If you bring cash with you, you  are more likely to get a better deal on ammo prices or gun accessories.   One hint I would suggest is to go on the last day for the best deals.

Last year I was with a friend that was looking to get a Glock, but most of the gun shops in his area didn’t have many.   He knew he wanted a 9mm, but wasn’t sure what size was best for him.   He tried out a G17, G19 and a Glock 26.    He realized that the G26 was just the size he wanted for CCW and did not feel under powered with the magazine capacity.   There are various generations of Glock pistols and there are plenty of opportunities to pick up Police tradeins for under $400  for hardly used handguns.   It’s best to open the action and see how much where there is an not judge them by the outside wear.   Holster wear seems to be very common on police tradeins, but the barrels are often in very good condition, find out about Texas Gun Shows in  your area and see TheRallyPoint.org for other State shooting range info.

Pennsylvania shooting range listing

Pennsylvania Shooting RangesPennyslvania is one of the largest gun owners States in the Country.   It amazes most people to hear something like that because it’s not viewed as one of the most rugged places in the Country, but the reality is PA has the 2nd largest number of NRA members, 2nd Largest number of gun shows in the Country and it is home of some of the most Pro-Gun Blue Dog Democrats in the Country.   The majority of Pennsylvanias political squabbles revolve around Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

Philadelphia has plenty of indoor shooting ranges, but for those wishing to shoot shotgun and rifle, you have to get about an hour out of the City to find a decend Pennyslvania Shooting Ranges.   There are  a few gun clubs that are 200-300yd ranges within about an hour of the Philly boarder but they are private ranges.   Check out the listing we have on our forum and kelp keep us up to date with any training or range activities and range facilities.

New Jersey Shooting Ranges

There is a need for State and Regional organizations, but many of these are for political purposes and not for a hands on application educating and increasing our (Responsible Gun Owners) numbers. Any NRA Certified instructor may post training classes on our forums and we hope that eventually there will be more gun clubs organizing Rally Points around the Country.

We also realize that many gun clubs do not have the money or the man power to maintain websites and to get the word out about what is going on there. It is also very difficult to try and locate where gun clubs are. We realize this may take several months or years to get the word out about TRP.org, and we ask that our membership help us do this. The firing line is where teaching the next generation occurs and TRP.org wants to be the conduit on the internet to get this done.
