    I'm one of those that complained about their price structure. I feel some of you are misstating my opinion on the matter, either because you don't get it or are doing it on purpose.

     

    I'll make it really easy:

    It's their place.They can charge whatever they want.

    It's my money. I'm free to spend it wherever I want.

    I'm free to think that their fees are completely unreasonable.

    They are free to think I'm a cheap ass bastard.

     

    At the end of the day, both of us walk away happy: them, with a brand spanking range with all the memberships sold withing hours and me, with a couple dollars in my pocket.

     

    With all honesty, I wish them well and I have no doubt they will be wildly successful. I may even stop by once in a while. I will not take a large second mortgage for a full deal membership or small one for a stripped out membership, though.

     

    But that's just me and life is good.

    Pretty much spot on brother.

     

    One thing to add about the Vienna Convention (1968), its only allows for a country's representative to agree to the treaty's wording. It still has to go through that countries legal process to become official to them. So, technically there is no back handed, illegal way to get a treaty passed here unless there is a super majority vote to change the constitution. Which won't happen. Ever.

     

    That's right.

     

    Quoting from the US constitution, Article II, section 2:

    http://www.senate.go...ion.htm#a2_sec2

     

    ...

    He [the President]shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments...

     

    Now, all those decrying the partisanship, the gridlock in Washington, care to rethink their position?

    I don't know if it needs to be locked up, but it is probably a good idea and it should be stored preferably in the rear of vehicle, in particular the trunk and away from access by people in the front. It cannot be stored in the same case that a firearm is stored in and should not be stored in a magazine, etc. And, there is no reason to call attention to it by making it visible, etc. It would not be a good idea to have in glove box, etc.

     

    Are you citing law or is this your reading of the law?

    As long as they are not hollow points, why does it matter where you're transporting from/to?

     

    Yeah, this. I always thought that transporting ammo has no restrictions (or better yet, it doesn't have to fall within any of the exemptions) unless it is hallow points.

    I mailed to a buyer a complete upper via USPS insured. The box gets delivered empty to the purchaser. I filed the insurance claim and it was denied. They said the upper receiver, which isn't a firearm, wasn't mailable. One I thought USPS would transport firearms and secondly this bit wasn't even a firearm.

     

    Now get this, they won't return the upper receiver either! No part, no insurance payment. They won't even refund the insurance premium since they delivered the empty box.

     

    I'm dumbfounded by this. I don't even know where to go next.

     

    What are you saying?

    Are you saying the USPS opened the box, removed the upper receiver, delivered an empty box and are fixing to keep it?

    Are they admitting they're keeping the upper receiver?

    So do we know exactly why they thought the AR was an assault rifle? Sorry it may have been touched on but i didnt want to search 9 pages. Was it really a pinned 30 round mag that caused it??

    We. Don't. Know.

     

    This. The bottom line is that we don't know. I haven't seen a detailed list of what was found in the apartment. I haven't heard Mr. Nappen nor Mr. Pantaleon claim everything found was NJ legal. They may very well have, I just haven't heard it.

    All I've heard is that the search was illegal and the judge seemed to have agreed since it released Mr. Pantaleon on his own recognizance.

    No reasoning with this closed minded ignorant mentality here..moving on

     

    I'll ask you because you are an officer and have that frame of reference:

    Assume you pulled somebody over and asked:

    1-Do you have anything I should know about?

    2-Do you have anything illegal like drugs, guns?

     

    How should one answer to cause the least amount of grief to both parties?

     

    Now, I understand that for those questions to be asked, things moved beyond a piddly traffic stop but please play along with me.

    I'm not trying to put you on the spot or provide fodder for anybody. I'm just curious.
