    I have PX4 Compact in 9mm. It shoots smooth and accurate. I like everything about it, except the slide mounted safety. It's ambidextrous, and I am a rightie, so I keep meaning to shave off the right-hand-side lever.

     

    I am in Bergen County, and I go to shoot to Paterson. PM me if you are interested in meeting over the weekend.

    I am still waiting, perhaps in vain, for a good deal on 9mm CX4 to come across, but I started putting together the pieces of kit I want to go on it -- a Leapers red dot they had on sale at Dvor.com the other day, Moerse shroud, rails and foldable foregrip..

    Quartering soldiers is dated...sure, but in the absolute worst case scenario for the future of our country, wouldnt you like to maintain the right to keep them from your home if your beliefs brought you against their reason for occupation?

     

    I think outlook on 3rd Amendment gives us an excellent example of how the views change not just within centuries, but just a mere decade. Case in point: if someone was arguing this kind of position mere 10 years ago, everyone would harshly ask him "why do you hate our troops?".

    I hope am not too late with my own little advice. The inspector we used about 8 years ago is Vincent Gorgone from East Rutherford. He's still in business, below is his website link:

    He was very thorough, checked for termites even though the owners really cluttered the garage, and checked for any work done potentially without the permits. He advised us of many issues which the seller was not obligated to fix, but which we should have fixed once moving in for our own good -- ungrounded outlets or no CGFIs where there should be, issues with insulation in the attic, A/C and air handler wiring and so on.

    Posted it in the knives forum, but thought folks here could be interested as well.

    I think all subscription services run like that. Be it a magazine subscrription, or National Geographics, or AAA, or as the case may be, NRA. They begin working you up for a renewal well up in advance.

     

    Plus, if you renew now, as a preferred customer you'll lock in amazing savings! :D

    This isn't likely to happen -- at least not during the lifetime of this voting generation.

     

    Issue one, there are far too many meal tickets out there depending on the persecution of the War On Drugs, which has conveniently started to intersect with War On Terror. Rolling that war back is almost akin to rolling back the military industrial machine. Not impossible, but very difficult.

     

    Issue two, the current generation of American voting public at large feels very comfortable with the "morality issues" being legislated. A party that would normally advocate the abolition of the Prohibition on the grounds of individual's freedom and personal responsibility has been overwhelmed and intoxicated by an influx of ideology that twists these notions into directions completely Taliban-esque.

     

    There would be some hope for the Prohibition to end if it somehow benefited the corporate paymasters of the current ultra-conservative surge, but there is simply no big profit to be made by them from the legalization of drugs. Any legalization would naturally be only palatable on conditions of stiff new regulations and taxation -- not something Big Pharma or Big Agro would appreciate. In addition, if you remove the additional costs and markups caused by they illicit nature of recreational drugs, they are actually cheap as dirt. There is no long-term big margin prospect in a product that could be would grow in backyards of most of 48 contiguous states all by itself, as a weed, or could be concocted by a bucketful for a cost of jug of laundry detergent.
