    I would drop dead with a heart attack if my wife ever gave me a gun! The closest I ever came to that was a $50 gift card for Cabelas!

    The 500 was the first gifted . two years later I got a gift card for Dicks sporting goods. So naturally I had a shotgun in mind . I ran across the maverick 88 for sale at $ 179.00 + nics. I was very happy.

    My brother in law just got his permit and was searching for a pistol and specifically a Glock 19 (probably a gen 5). We got a lead on a used but near new condition Gen 4 with new night sights and the guy wanted $500. He mentioned this to his mom, who is in her mid 70s and she said “$500 for a used gun? That is ridiculous!!” Then she said, according to my bother in law, “I have a gun in my closet in my bedroom. I bought it a long time ago. You can have it...” Here it is...unfired!

    I picked up one of the police trade in 92s and have to say, it's a blast to shoot. I thought about one of these as well

    That's what I'm thinking too. I actually like the wear on it. I'll post pics with the new grips and go from there. Thanks man.

    That gun has history we probably can't imagine. That wear is also called character! Often, such character adds to the value and look of the gun. I would replace the grips and enjoy shooting and owning a piece of history!

    @Greenday So, you're OK with the current system, where 45% of taxpayers pay zero taxes, but get access to all the same government services that the $250K person pays $25K for? You think that's a fair system? (Actually, that $250K person pays way MORE than 10% now, closer to a 24% effective rate, or $60K.) Shouldn't everyone have skin in the game, if they want to receive government services?

    There’s a little back story behind this gumbo... I can’t believe this was 40 years ago, but starting when I was a young man of about 14, I spent my summers working on the Mississippi river, aboard the towboats, pushing barges full of petrochemical products up and down the lower river. I started off as a deckhand, and after a while, I sat for my ‘tankermans’ license. I was in charge of loading liquid cargo, like gasoline, toluene, and other petrochemicals into barges. I think I was about 16. Later, when I turned 18, I sat for my inland pilots license exam. I worked as a relief pilot on and off for a few years, mostly holidays and summers, while I was in college. While I was working aboard the M/V Dixie Power, there was an old Cajun cook aboard the boat. He was from the bayous of south Louisiana. For the life of me, I can’t remember his name, (hell, I don’t think I could pronounce it), but he used to make this gumbo for the crew about once a week. I loved it..and he taught me how to make it. While he didn’t teach me ALL his gumbo secrets, he taught me enough to be dangerous. So, in the spirit of that old Cajun, let’s make a gumbo!!! Just like most all Cajun cooking, first, you make a roux. Not just any roux, for a proper gumbo, you want a nice, chocolate colored roux. The best way to do this, so you’re not stirring it forever, is in the oven. It’s a (mostly) hands off process. Heat your oven to 350°. Take 2 cups of AP flour, and 1.5 cups vegetable oil, and whisk them together until smooth in your cast iron skillet. Stick this in the oven, and give it a good stir every 20 mins or so. Should take 2 to 2 1/2 hours, but the result will be a nice, chocolate brown roux. Time consuming, but you pretty well can’t screw it up using this method. While the roux is doing its thing in the oven, it’s time to get chopping the veggies for the holy trinity, another gumbo essential. About 4-5 stalks of celery. 2 large yellow onions 2 large bell peppers. Chop em up, and sauté them with a little oil (or bacon fat if you’re felling froggy). Cook the veggies until the onions are translucent. Toss in some chopped garlic, a tablespoon or so, or more if you’re so inclined. When the roux is done, add it, and the holy trinity into a large stock pot. Cook them a bit together until they are nicely combined. Add 4 quarts of stock. I usually make my own seafood or chicken stock. I didn’t have enough homemade stock, so I used 2 quarts of homemade shrimp stock, and 2 quarts of store bought chicken stock. Let this simmer for awhile, add some Tony Chachere’s Cajun seasoning to taste, and now, you have a good base for a pot of gumbo. By definition, gumbo is an amalgamation of different things. Sometimes it’s made to clean out the refrigerator, or the freezer. Sometimes it’s made with the catch of the day, from a from a fishing trip, or fresh kill from a duck hunting trip. I was chatting with @Bighungry618 the other day about it...and I think he put it best. “Gumbo has no rules”. A gumbo is anything you want it to be. Well, mine, has some ‘guidelines’. I never add okra to a roux based gumbo...because that’s the way I was taught. That doesn’t mean you can’t...I just don’t. On that note, I DO like an okra gumbo though..... For this gumbo, I’m throwing in a bunch of chicken wings, and about 2 lbs of cooked smoked sausage (before Big Hungry loses his mind...I would NORMALLY use andouille sausage, but Mrs Tex said it was too spicy for her). So, smoked sausage it is. Gotta keep the boss lady happy. I also had a couple of smoked turkey legs in the freezer Mrs Tex was after me to use. I cut that meat off the bone and tossed that in there too. That’ll add a touch of nice, smoky flavor to this little batch of loveliness. After it simmers for an hour or so, when the chicken wings are nice and tender, it’s ready to add seafood. I added 2 lbs of shrimp, and about a pound of jumbo lump crab meat (since my local fish monger didn’t have any crawfish). You can add anything you like. Oysters, scallops, fish...you do you. You can turn off the heat at this point...the shrimp will cook in the pot and turn nice and pink. Serve it in a large bowl, with a scoop of white rice in the middle. Top it with a little green onion, or chopped parsley (or both!!). If you like, a little gumbo fil’e powder (which is dried sassafras). Maybe a little Crystal hot sauce, or another dash of Cajun seasoning. Don’t forget some warm French bread, for sopping up the bottom of the bowl! You’re gonna wanna, that’s for sure!! Good eats, y’all!

    It's legal to purchase a *LONG GUN* (not handguns) out of state. The transfer will have to be *FROM AN FFL* (not a private seller) and will have to adhere to legal requirements of both the state the transfer is taking place in (PA) and the transferee's home state (NJ). Just because it's legal doesn't mean each and every FFL at the PA show is obligated to do a NJ transfer. Some may not want to deal with the hassle. You'll have to ask. Take your NJ FID card and several NJ COE forms (https://www.njsp.org/firearms/pdf/sp-634_20180914.pdf) with you in case you do find the long gun you want from an FFL who is willing to do a transfer to a NJ resident. Also take a case so you can transport it back home legally (or lock it in the trunk). There is still a NICS check - you'll go through the NATIONAL instant check, which really is near instant, as opposed to the NJ NICS check which is routed through the NJSP office which usually only has a couple of people handling checks for the entire state of NJ.

    Every store can make their own bidness model. It's their right to do so. Some want to drive people thru the doors for paperwork (transfers) hoping a real sale will take place while others set their transfer fees to drive transfers for non-members & guns having to be shipped to them AWAY. The REALITY CHECK: Joe Blow orders a gun from "Bud's" & has it shipped to LGS. Joe Blow, all excited, calls LGS to notify them that his gun is on its way. So when the pink card holder behind the counter has to chat with Mr. Blow about a gun they make next to nuthin' on, everybody else at the counter trying to spend $, on the phone looking for an in-stock item (trying to spend $), or a person that rented a lane that needs more ammo (trying to spend $) HAS TO WAIT while Joe Blow relays tracking info he could have just emailed to the LGS... With all the Newbies buying guns needing shown how to insert a mag into the grip & drop the mag for a reload, now magnify the amount of time a pink card holder has to invest with each new customer that might be one of the 135,000+ complete Newbies that NEVER RENTED OR HANDLED A FIREARM and just woke-up to gun ownership. Gun stores aren't 7-11's. Pink Card holders don't grow on trees & there's only so many of them to go around...and it takes a while to get approved and receive your card (just like a FID), so you can't take a Wally World door greater & put them behind a gun counter in Jersey... Some Pink Card holders are still A-Holes that tell customers that hollow points are ILLEGAL and that gun owners have to TRANSPORT via FOPA Rules while transiting solely in NJ! Que the "better safe than sorry lecture" Pink Card holders are famous for... Supply & demand is at the root of all bidness decisions. Some bidnesses decide to not invest the time in dealing with Joe Blow's excitement, multiple phone calls, messages and then the actual transfer when their counters are 6-deep with customers waiting. Things will settle-down eventually and current transfer fees might be adjusted on an as-needed basis. Strictly BIDNESS... Being a capitalist I can understand it all, and I lack the shortsightedness required to bitch about it on a forum ~R

    Not only do they not pay in, in some circumstances they are able to get money "back." Don't think they don't contribute to society, though. They are promoting business in the building trades by burning down cities.

    so we're not equal under the law; glad you see that to be honest, it's the best possible thing because the more people feel the pain, the more the ridiculous spending and borrowing by the gov't will be in check. Let people suffer under it, then the gov't will have to act accordingly as the very parasites that live off the teet have to pay for the teet and they bite the hand that used to feed them tax should be fair across the board, regardless of income.

    Yep, threw the chicken in the stock raw, and let it cook for a few hours. It falls off the bone. Shrimp doesn’t take much time to cook. Pretty much when it turns pink, it’s done. Most people overcook seafood. The biggest piece of advice I can give you; good gumbo is ALL about the roux. Don’t skimp on giving it the time and love it deserves, or it won’t have that rich, dark flavor. Use the oven method. Stir it fairly frequently, and the color will change to that lovely chocolate color. Don’t be scared that you’re gonna burn it, the oven method works perfectly! Remember....always add the liquid to the roux...never add roux to the liquid. You’ll end up with a mess.

    Ok, ok, had to take some over to the neighbor. I had a bit of a change in plans. The wife did not want me to make the entire packer, so I ended up cutting off the flat. Roughly 5 lbs trimmed. I trimmed it at 7pm. Rub is light layer of mustard as a binder. Maple BBQ rub and kosher salt with course ground black pepper Wrapped in saran wrap, went to bed later. Got up at 3:55, fired up the pellet smoker at 225, waited until the temp stabilized. Added my smoke tube. Using applewood pellets. Brisket went on at 4:15. I know others do it by feel, I'm not that confident, so I stuck my temp probe in. At 6:15 I spritzed with apple cider vinegar. At 8, I also spritzed. At 8:30 it hit 160. Wrapped in butcher paper. About 1pm it was still stalled at 171 so I turned up the temp to 250. At 1:20 PM, it was 178, now I'm worried. Lol. I turned it back down to 225. At 2:15, it came off hitting 203. I put into a cooler, still wrapped with temp probe still in for rest. At 4:30, it was at 160. I put in oven at 163 to hold temp until 6pm chow. At 6, I carved. Moist, tasty, juicy! Wonderful. Great bark, nice smoke ring. As good of a flat as one can expect!. The foil is simply because I had already put it away. Wife and I ate, I also gave the neighbors some too. I took back out of fridge for picture.
