Question Wireless Earbuds for Shooting

7 Upvotes

I have been getting bombarded with ads for Ravine Fieldops wireless earbuds. I did a little research and it turns out they are Chinese garbage. If anyone thinks otherwise, I’d love to hear why they are good. I’ve been using a pair of Walker’s Razor Electronic Muffs for a few years now but they’re a bit bulky and hot under some circumstances.

Are the Axil or Walker’s ear buds worth it? Good quality? Do any of you use them hunting for sound amplification?

Just got a Trust Form 4 approved in 4 days

10 Upvotes

Long story short, I had a suppressor on backorder before the court order and had Freedom Outdoors as the selected FFL to ship to. When it finally came in, lucky me Freedom Outdoors is still "waiting on their lawyers" so I still have to do a Form 4 even though New American Arms across the street is just doing 4473's. Decided to submit with my Trust to keep things organized. Submitted it last Thursday and got approved this morning, soo really it took the ATF only 2 business days. Just picked it up!

It appears that due to the significant drop in Form 4 submissions that the Trust waiting period has caught up with the individual waiting period, at least for Silencer Shop submissions. So if you still want to use a Trust for family inheritance purposes, go for it! I'm just annoyed that it's now registered on a list when it isn't required, but trying to haggle with Freedom Outdoors to ship it to a different FFL sounded like too much of a headache.

Question YES I READ THE MEGA THREAD

10 Upvotes

Has anyone in Virginia Beach been able to purchase a can through a dealer with just a 4473? I scanned the mega thread and didn’t see anyone mention Freedom, or The Armory.

Or are y’all just ordering through silencershop and shipping to the FFL, and then picking it up via 4473

Looking to get a kimber 2k11

I'm looking to get a kimber 2k11 but I'm confused as they come with 20 round mags and I know they have the magazine ban, would it still be possible to get it one or is it impossible because it comes with the magazines?

Thanks in advance.

I built an iPhone app that maps firearm-law references along a driving route — looking for honest feedback

13 Upvotes

Full disclosure: I’m the developer of CarryRoute.

I built it because ordinary reciprocity maps don’t show everything encountered during an actual drive—county and city boundaries, tribal areas, transit properties, stops, and overnight stays.

You enter two addresses, and CarryRoute:

  • Maps the route using Apple Maps
  • Breaks it into state, county, city, tribal, and special-jurisdiction sections
  • Lets you tap each route section
  • Shows concise research summaries with links to official government sources
  • Accounts for your resident state, permits, age, and selected carry/transport mode
  • Supports offline itineraries and optional jurisdiction alerts

The route colors identify jurisdiction changes only. They do not mean legal/illegal or safe/unsafe. CarryRoute is a research tool—not legal advice—and users should verify the current official text.

I’d genuinely appreciate blunt feedback: What information would you want before crossing a state or local boundary? What would make the route view more useful?

iPhone/iPad: CarryRoute: CCW Navigation

It’s free to download. Optional Pro is $2.99/month or $12.99/year with a 14-day introductory trial.

I want to get a Gen-12 upper receiver from Genesis Arms, but I don't know if they're shipping to VA, or if I'll have to have it sent to another state and pick it up there

Question VA Resident Carry with MD CCW

3 Upvotes

I am a VA resident with both resident VA & or of state MD CCW permits. I understand that VA currently honors the MD permit. Would it be advisable to keep the VA permit at home and only carry the MD one? I go between states a lot and would prefer to minimize what's in my wallet.

Tom Grieve video

23 Upvotes

Saw this in today's VCDL alert.

I don't know much about Mr. Grieve, but this comes across a bit fear mongering to me. He doesn't attribute anything and doesn't give concrete details about the enemy's alleged plans.

Anyone else have thoughts? I don't want to outright dismiss this, or bash the man if Mr. Grieve has been reliable in the past.

From VCDL:

Tom Grieve has trusted inside information that some of the anti-gun employees of the DoJ and ATF are planning a “revenge tour” against those individuals, groups, and companies who are taking advantage of the current injunction that allows Form 4473s to be used to purchase suppressors, SBRs, SBSs, and AOWs.  The Revenge Tour members are biding their time until a new administration that supports gun-control is in power.
