Grapeshot

Could not agree more...

In the 18th century, "well regulated" meant well-trained, and working with precision. I am so tired of people interpreting this "carte-blanche" to enact new laws. That was not at all what the founders meant, and anyone with an even rudimentary understanding of 18th century terminology should know that.

So we are back to pieces of eight?

I've got a Mossy 500 pump and I use it for everything - clays, turkey, and deer with slugs. Probably the most versatile gun I own. They are inexpensive, reliable, and actually fit me better than an 870.

I have this kit for my M9 and it works flawlessly. Great way to keep in practice, although I will warn you that it "feels" very different. And I don't mean recoil - weight and balance change too. I bought mine back in September of last year and they were running an amazing sale - $210.48 shipped with an extra mag.

And you thought firearms was an expensive hobby? You ain't seen nothin' yet! But with today's prices, you may just be able to afford this by selling off some ammo. I finally decided it was cheaper to just go get my SCUBA cert and go diving.

If you're looking to replace a CRV I believe the Toyota equivalent is the Rav4. Lots of Rav4s in Flemington: https://www.fredbeanstoyota.com/used-inventory/index.htm?start=16&make=Toyota&model=RAV4& Also a few Highlanders: https://www.fredbeanstoyota.com/used-inventory/index.htm?search=&compositeType=&make=Toyota&model=Highlander&saveFacetState=true&lastFacetInteracted=inventory-listing1-facet-anchor-model-6

True, but trying to find one used off lease is pretty much impossible. And it's a truck - he said she wanted an SUV.

And it's safe!

I can attest to this. The vehicle I replaced was a Nissan Pathfinder (my second one). That was the first thing I looked at. Nissan hasn't really kept up - a 3 year old Nissan looks like the interior of a 10 year old Nissan. Technology, electronics, aesthetics - just not up to today's standards. Plus, I needed a 6 cylinder to tow the boat; that crossed Honda off the list. Narrowed it down pretty quickly for me.

It's admissible in the UK (where that article was written (and it's a very good article - thanks!)), and in most of Europe and Latin America - just not here. Sit in the back of a police car. Ride around the block. Get out. Chances are very good that I can find gun shot residue on you - and that is all a defense attorney needs for reasonable doubt. This paper addressees that, but I haven't seen any trends in the US that would point to increased use. Just for background, I sell GSR (SEM-EDX), have given papers on it, and trained users. It's almost never used in the US anymore. The technology isn't cheap, and most police departments will spend that kind of money on DNA testing. That may change as technology improves, but I haven't seen any evidence of that yet.

May I suggest looking for something that just came off lease? These vehicles typically have 25 - 35K miles on them, have service records, usually are certified, and come with a transferrable warranty. I purchased a Toyota Highlander last year with 30K miles for ~ $13 - 15K less than a new one would have cost. It was clean, looked new, and runs great. I tend to keep vehicles for ~ 150K miles and keep them serviced and garaged, so 30K miles is just starting to be broken in for me.

You all do realize that GSR is not admissible in court? The police can use it to lead them to other analysis techniques that are admissible, but GSR by itself itself is not.

I used to do a lot of wreck diving off the Jersey coast when I was younger. Got my first dive cert in 1974 (YMCA!). Now that I am (much) older I am a warm water diver. Give me Florida, Cozumel, etc.

I've decided to find a cheaper hobby. Like Yachting. And here's a solar powered one: https://www.forbes.com/sites/nicoletrilivas/2020/05/11/solar-powered-yacht-serenity-yachts-tesla-of-yachts/?sh=169688a46471 "My name is Elmer J. Fudd, millionaire. I own a mansion und a yacht" Shootin' clays off the back of the yacht is looking better and better.

Whoah! I had no idea how expensive these had gotten! The last time I looked (at a buddy of mine's store in PA) they were around $400. I'll crawl back under my rock now.

Great - thanks!

I am also interested in getting one of these in camo. I am located in Ringoes, NJ in Hunterdon county. If any of our vendors on this forum have one (or can get one) please let me know. And pardon my ignorance, but who, exactly, is Shooters? If you do a web search in NJ you get at least 5 hits (Shooters Corner, Shooters Station, Action Shooters supply, etc.). I'm in central Jersey so if it's in south Jersey I probably wouldn't know about it.

Learned my lesson a few years back. As soon as ammo started to become plentiful again I started buying and stacking. I had specific price points for different rounds and if I saw them on sale for that price I would buy a few boxes even if I didn't "need" them. As a result (and with a little self-control) I am pretty good for the next 18 - 24 months for calibers I shoot a lot (9mm), and much longer for hunting rounds like .30-.30. I also bought a ton of .22 since it was cheap. After that we'll see, but I think the days of cheap ammo like we had in 2018 and 2019 are over for the foreseeable future.

So. look on the bright side. With the new mag restrictions, each full mag only costs $12.60. Without Murphy helping us, it would be $18.90.

Too funny. I should have known someone would do this.

So the 9 mm re-loads with silver bullets I made for the Zombie Vampire Apocalypse are now worth more than their weight in silver. Cool!

That's like posting a picture of an Opel GT in a Corvette thread.
