  1. Okay. Others have said it and I'll say it again. If the FBI had a search warrant they can look everywhere whatever was listed in the warrant could be hidden. Providing the code was a way to prevent damage to whatever was in the safe.
  2. Okay I'll take it but can't meet up with you until next Monday or Tuesday. Out of state now. You pick ffl near you.
  3. Santander is almost totally paperless. They do.give you a paper receipt for transactions.
  4. They do all this in the name of "gun safety". A term invented during the Clinton Administration. After the mass shooting at a Colorado high school (you look that up) Janet Reno. the US AG was asked what is your response to people who say enforce the laws that we have? She said, paraphrasing, "we just need more laws. It doesn't make a difference if we enforce them".
  5. There are also casino reports. Casinos were (and still maybe) used to launder drug money. You get 10 accomplices. Give them each 5k to buy chips. They hang around for a few hours and half of them give the other half their 5k in chips. That half cashes in those chips so now 25k can be claimed as casino winnings. Oversimplified but you get the idea.
  6. Correct. Law requires currency transaction reports over 10k. However, bank can report any amount as suspicious. This is how Hunter Biden got caught (but not convicted yet!!!). Whilst cash businesses are fewer now this is the reason for suspicious activity reports. Many gas stations offer a discount for cash. Many consumers take advantage of this. The owner of the station has 20k in cash to deposit. He's trying to conceal it as he doesn't want IRS knowing how much he's making. So he goes to the bank and deposits 6k in the morning, 6k in the afternoon, and 8k the next morning. This is called structuring to avoid the reporting requirements and is illegal. Has been for some time. Like over 30 years.
  7. 3.35 coming out of the Holland Tunnel tonight. 3.70 on Staten Island. There are no.gas stations left in Manhattan.
  8. Maryland used to be one of the states requiring microstamping. Some of you remember buying a handgun and it had two fired cases come with it. The head of the MD State Police notified.the legislature that they had been keeping fired cases and comparing them to cases left atD crime scenes. MDSP did this for like 10 years. This costed MD several million dollars a year. MDSP requested the microstamping law be repealed so they could spend the money for something useful. The microstamping law was repealed in 2015. Platkin wants a law that...does nothing.
  9. I met Buffett in Key West in 82 in Sloppy Joe's on Duval St when i was working there. We bought one another beers. He thought his career was over. #1 songs. Come Monday 1972 Margaritaville 1977. He realized everyone was making money off Margaritaville. Opened a tshirt shop near Sloppy Joe's. That was the start of his empire. Fast forward to 2016. My casino host got me free tickets in the Vip section when he played on the beach in AC. Ran into 2 Canadian women, true Parrotheads, walking down the Boardwalk we conversed. They told me he was doing a benefit for Hillary on Long Island the next day. Burst my bubble. Always thought of him as a Libeteran. But he never brought his politics to the stage. I respect that. I also remember the guy who turned me on to Buffett. I was a major, he was a Captain in National Guard. He died in Iraq.. Read his story here. A true leader. Leading from the front. https://thefallen.militarytimes.com/army-lt-col-michael-e-mclaughlin/1456380
  10. Not outdated for your main carry. The problem with ankle carry is accessibility. It is the longest reach to get your hand on your gun. I described earlier. I'll talk about that later. You're also limited to the size of the gun you carry. Much easier in the 70s when you could wear bell bottoms. AFAIK a Glock 26 size is about as big a gun you can ankle carry although I knew people who carried a Glock 19 on their ankle. I've used it as my main carry, carrying one when: 1. When attire dictates that's the only way you can effectively conceal. and/or 2. I'm in a low threat environment where the likelihood of needing a gun is extremely low. Going back to #1 do you think these criminals that hug one another are so happy to see one another? No, they are surreptitiously patting one another down. Going back to #2. Many feel that you must CCW ready to fight off a terrorist attack. You must carry a full size handgun preferably with 3 15-17 rd magazines available for reload. There are people that need to do so. I'm not one of them anymore and when I was I would prefer a shotgun, sub gun, M4, or AUG. What are the stats of how many concealed carry people ever need to fight a bad guy? Nearly all of us that carry only need something that stops our attacker and enables us to get away from danger. Considering gunfight statistics, you can do that with a j frame or 380 both of which fit nicely in an ankle rig. Going back to accessibility. Even if you're wearing an OWB holster with your full size handgun you'd be stupid to try to outdraw an attacker who already has their gun out and pointed at you. You need to practice situational awareness and have your gun out before the bad guy has theirs out. This is not always possible however not impossible. Ankle holsters are an option at times even for a primary carry. If you say their outdated and think they're worthless you're only giving up many of the options you have available. You said there are zero reasons to use an ankle holster. You've also said with today's holsters you can conceal carry.just about anything without using an ankle holster. You're wrong on both counts.
  11. Okay. You're convinced ankle carry is useless. Ankle carry can be discreet. Use your imagination. Needing to retreat is not an issue here. You are confronted and must act to save yourself. Ankle carry may be one of the options you have.
  12. Couldn't afford the rifle at the time but have a box of the John Wayne commemorative ammo.
  13. That goes for a lot of other commemorative. Smith and Wesson would crank out a commemorative for whoever and whatever you wanted as long as you made the minimum order in the late 70s, early 80s.
  14. I like the DeSantis Old School rig. I've DeSantis holsters I bought in the 80s I still use. Buy quality.
  15. Another thing to learn. Butt to the rear weak side ankle inside is like drawing from a OWB. Don't overthink things. Keep them simple.
  16. I've known a lot of experienced shooters and none of them would use this method. Awkward draw using this method. Inside weak side ankle, gun butt to rear. It's like drawing from a owb very natural. Easy get seated or driving. Many options (with an ankle holster) I don't think so. Requires additional movement to cover the distance between your hand and your gun.
  17. I'm far from a first timer. Only been carrying for nearly 50 years. Ankle carry inside of weak side ankle. Draw by dropping to strong knee. Who are these "experts" who carry outside of ankle? Which ankle? How do they draw?
  18. A lot of hurdles in front.of you. Can't give you much advice but good luck.
  19. @Mrs. Peel I knew someone who prevailed in a gunfight with his sub sandwich in his left hand!!@
  20. Repugnant to the COTUS is an issue for courts to decide. We can discuss it but it's up to the courts to decide what's repugnant.
  21. The kneeling part is contrary to the Americans with Disabilities Act. It will get tossed but not until someone argues it.
  22. Okay there are no training requirements listed in the 2A or anywhere in the COTUS. Training requirements, if any, are RESERVED TO THE STATES RESPECTIVELY. There is nothing that denies states the right to make training requirements UNLESS a court finds them unreasonable. System sucks in so many ways but I don't think there is better.
  23. My mother's Maytag was still going after 30 years.
