Here's an interesting looking old pistol. (It looks like it's had some DIY gunsmithing done, especially on that side rail.) But does anyone know what it started life out as? I'd love to know.
LSU, this thread has some good first-hand reports of what an Appleseed class is like. (Long answer short: it's great!)

Wow, that was fast! (These boards are incredible.)
The Remington 7600 top-folder was an interesting lead.
But I do think it's the Spas 12 -- with a top-folding stock. Check out that perforated metal stock. Sure looks like a match. Also, the Spas 12 is from Franchi, an Italian manufacturer...

I'm about to take the class for a Louisiana conceal permit, and I've been doing a little reading in advance. Today I came across a great article that I wanted to share: "Practicing Concealed Carry With No Fear," by David Woodbury. Many of you have had these thoughts already, and what he says...
thanks!
Many thanks to everyone who wrote me with suggestions -- and especially to Ryan, who met me at the Honey Island range for some hands-on instruction. I am off to a good start thanks to the community on this board.
My dad recently gave me an AK-47 as a birthday present (he is ex-military and has a great sense of humor).
I have not fired it as I'd like some training on it first. Can anyone recommend an outdoor range that would accommodate an AK AND that offers training? I see some people have...
