LIF is Long Island Firearms (www.longislandfirearms.com). I just became a gun owner a couple of years ago, and I found the site when I was researching how to get my pistol license, etc. It’s an really good site for info on all gun-related (and other outdoor-related) stuff, and if you join as a member, then there’s additional benefits like range meetups, ammo alerts, etc. It’s also become a good source for gun-related political info (as I’m sure all NYS gun organizations have) since the unSAFE Act was hatched. They arranged a bus for the 1/19 Albany protest (and they’re getting another together for the 2/28 one).
I didn’t realize you’re a female gun owner. So am I (and my sister, still upstate, just earned her 1st-level NRA instructor training this past summer.) Now we’re trying to get our other sister to give it a shot (pun intended:-)
You know, I thought LIF might refer to Long Island Firearms. We haven’t joined that one, but I will discuss it with hubby — can’t imagine why we WOULDN’T join, actually.
He’s been telling me for years that I should get a pistol carry permit, but I refuse to get the ones available to me in Suffolk County The only one I would be legally able to get would be meaningless to me. It’s that “sportsman” permit, where I would only be able to carry on the way to or from a gun range. I would have no need to merely carry it to and from a gun range. What the hell good would THAT do me? I’ll tell you what good: Zippety-Do-Dah good.
No, if I’m going to carry, I want to be able to CARRY and not have to answer to anyone about where I’m going or where I’ve been.
I hate NY. Can’t wait to escape.
Regards,
PS: Thanks for the information on LIF, BTW. I appreciate it. And congrats to your sister! What a great accomplishment for her! I’m sure that between the two of you you’ll be able to convince your other sister to “give it a shot!”
