Getting Into Tactical Shooting With Lucas Apps

Today we welcome on Lucas Apps from the Triangle Tactical Blog and Podcast. Lucas Apps started the blog and podcast  at triangletactical.net back in 2012. He’s an avid concealed carrier, competition shooter, and outdoors enthusiast.  He has been  shooting for as long as he can remember, and won his first competition at a young age shooting a .22lr standing rifle match with his Boy Scout troop. Lucas is an Eagle Scout, and learned the basics of shooting, and outdoor skills from his time in scouting.

We focus the first half of the show with Lucas Apps explaining how to get into tactical shooting. Things to expect on your first time out to a shoot. We talk about safety concerns. Like how you should never go to a match wearing your firearm loaded. I had a buddy get disqualified for that once. So make sure you are familiar with the rules of your range.

  1. To the guy who thinks you can buy a full auto mini-gun without proper paperwork and blessing by the ATF, you are completely 100% wrong. You really need a gun guy on the show!

    1. I had to check into what Mike said. I had never heard that before. It seems that a manual crank Gatling gun is simply considered a rifle by the ATF and as for mini guns I found this.
      The National Firearms Act states that any fully automatic weapons constructed before 1986 are legal for a civilian possessing a Class 2 permit to own.
      So yes a tax stamp but it is legal to own. He read a poorly written article on Cracked

      1. Right on! Good to know you followed up. Manual crank firearms are considered “normal” firearms regulated by non-NFA laws. I think you did mention that the price of those pre-86 mini guns is historically around $250k, but that’s only if someone will sell it. There are only a few transferable mini guns on the registry, which only has around 186k machine guns to begin with. If you want to see one in action you can attend the Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot in the spring and fall and watch a mini gun shred cars, appliances, boats, etc. It’s a great show!
