Mandeville, LA – It’s a bill to amend the Firearms Owners’ Protection Act, and the historical marksmanship group Project Appleseed, this week on Tom Gresham's Gun Talk® Radio, the original nationally-syndicated radio talk show about guns and the shooting sports.
The Firearm Owners’ Protection Act, or FOPA, passed in 1986, addressed regulatory reform of the ATF, machine gun ownership, registration, background checks, and interstate transportation of firearms. The last part is the focus of HR 4269, introduced by Representative Morgan Griffith (R-VA). Rep. Griffith seeks to define the types of legal travel, clarify that the act covers both firearms and ammo, and, in the case of prosecution, puts the burden on the state to prove the case, rather than the defendant. More information can be found here: http://www.nraila.org/news-issues/fact-sheets/2012/hr4269firearmstransportation.aspx and here: http://thomas.loc.gov.
Project Appleseed’s mission is teaching two things: rifle marksmanship and early American heritage, though the Revolutionary War Veterans Association. Indiana Project Coordinator Dave Goodrich drops by on Sunday to discuss just how this all-volunteer organization operates. For more information, visit http://www.appleseedinfo.org.
It’s also the last week to enter to win the Ruger 10/22 TakeDown! Grand Prize includes the brand-new rifle, carrying bag and two BX-25 magazines. Enter at www.guntalk.com/contest.

Hey mylife, you doing OK this evening?
BANG!
In for just a bit.
Doing fine Dave.
Nice weather.
TGIGT.
I find myself awaiting this thread as a quiet (well not always THAT quiet) lifeline of sense and sanity.
Commence firing!
Howdy 50!
Hiya Whitey!
Was shooting the CZ 82 recently, and it’s still shooting a bit low for. I just installed a #5 (the highest) rear sight, so that should do it for me. Haven’t had it to the range yet.
Hey 50, good to hear from you!!
You are the only guy I have heard report the CZ 82 shooting low.
I hope the sight corrects the issue.
Hey Dave. Any snakes?
My yard is now a grackle-free zone. Those flying turds learned a bitter lesson last year.
The guy on the phone needs to give me all that old 30 carbine ammo if he thinks its junk.
No, still no snakes, but I also have a grackle free zone.
I still have the football bat if I need it though.
Wow! 2” at 10 yards is way off.
I hake grackles, too.
They are flying noisy rats that crap over everything.
