Probably, Lets assume this wasn't an option for whatever reason. That's what you got to think about. No right answer, but interested in hearing what then?

A delicate situation for sure. I would have liked to know how it ended. Their approach (kids on bikes) was well thought out and practiced. Every unique Situation dictates unique response. Mental gymnastics, scenarios must be played out in your head until it becomes second nature. I wont comment other than having a presence (not tough guy approach that may provoke a challenge from stupid I dont care what happens kids), but a confident stern are you sure you want to do this approach may work. The bad guys arent used to someone not automatically caving in to their "Asking for donations" Definitely thought provoking.

try ar-15.com , but it seems like you will do ok here first, the rest of the country with the exception of a few states is free america

I need to redo a roofline, either conventional or truss framing. Dont want to open the phonebook and start playing that game. I dont mind paying reasoanble costs. Also going to need insulation guys, hvac, sheetrockers electricians, plumbers, wood floor guys

true when working etc, I dont think about it, when i get stressed out bang, somone once told me it forces you to take a few minute break from the madness, amazing what one does to justify it. Too bad everything I like is bad for you. Smoking guns fastcars motorcycles women, all will kill you eventually. Haha

Got a buddy who vapes, but I dont want to do that, its like decaf coffee. I tried this like 5 times to quit, Wish I had the will power to just have one at night ,but you know thats not happening. Hey sincerely for what its worth I do appreciate this, not trying to make a federal case out of it, but I needed to hear from others who been there done that

thanks fellas, quit day tues, today cut dowm by 3 by usually amount. goal is cut by 5 tomorrow until tues then 0

impressive shooting there. does the gun feel faster on the draw out of holster on target? i know its s strange question but I think you get it.

Man this is gonna suck, but its worth it, quit date will be tues, tues because I work that day and thats 8 hours of no smoking even if I wanted too. so a forced cold turkey head start. I promise to let you guys know even when I mess up. It will keep me honest and admitting screwing up will be harder in front of an audience. from now till then I do a pack a day thats 20. I got a few days and cut it down to 15 then cold turkey from there. I really appreciate the responses and advice. Hard part is going to be driving thats the ultimate habit, get in the car and light up. Gentlemen I know its up to me but the encouragement helps. Well at least I can put the money saved towards a truck payment.

I got a wounded officers support group I have to goto but i promise , this is the most important post i ever wrote, i look forward to any and all advice when i get back. Thanks fellas I REALLY APRRECIATE it. Crazy thing was I didnt start smoking well into my 20's. I know stupid right I was working construction in NYC, stressed out grabbed one and that was it.

Lmao a buddy of mine was on chaantix, he was standing in the kitchen and just took his pants off, when we were like WTF are you doing he said I dont know. lol

well after many failed attempts, the worst thing I ever did was pick up a cigarette. I enjoy with coffee or dinner the rest is pure habit, any suggestions from former smokers here? I really want to stop. Please no lectures on dangers etc, I know already. thanks

anybody get a hold of and shoot one yet, how does it shoot?

I think so, name sounds familair

I am ex- leo sergeant. and ER nurse. Many leo's are pro second amendment, as am I. Go for it apply, don't get too dissapointed if it doesn't work here in NJ . if you have time and money push with a good attorney. Maybe a call to an attorney like Evan Nappen would give you some insight as to what is in front of you. I as many people here want to see you succeed. Good luck.

It depends on what scenario is front of us. Mad maxx type stuff, (I dont think very likely to happen)- then nothing matters but food skills and lead/ really bad bear market even for a few years. More likely scenario. its a good chance you can make a few bucks on your buy. in 1979 I saw my dad cash in his junk silver and buy our house, it hit 50 an ounce back then, it did again in 2011. say it does same from today's price you got 300 percent on your money . back then there were buyers for PMs at that price. There are a few pieces I collect for my kids, that I would not sell but the rest is just like any other investment. Don't fall in love with it, it could just be a means to end. either way I agree with you , we could be in for a ride much worse than 2008, I hope for my kids sake it isnt, its just insurance I hope to never use. My father in law is Italian but lived and had has family in Argentina. I know its different economy from Us but just an example. Their currency hit the skids twice in 10 years. People would cash their checks and run to the store supermarket and as you shopped the price went up by the time you hit the register. The few that had pm's fared much better. In fact they made it illegal or impossible to obtain Pms as a way around their currency shortly after the second crash. In Venezuela for example silver got you food, paper didnt mean crap. just saying. Huge black market developed for pms even the US dollar as you couldnt get them. Smart big money, the guys in the know will always make their moves before we even get a hint, we just hope to catch a couple crumbs they drop along the way. If you own some hedge like metals for example you are ahead of 95 percent of folks out there. When the average guy figures out whats what, its too late. Dealer premiums will be through the roof if any available, so that leaves you that they can buy from. The window to sell may be relatively short is my guess. Same with firearms and ammo, when you should have got some was way back when you could, not when you are under threat of ban or unavailability etc. Money moves always looking for yield. the stock market is high because not many alternatives out there and the people have been conditioned to invest there. I hope to GOD im wrong and just have some shiny metal etc, that my kids can look at but I think im more right than wrong here. I have homeowners in case my house burns down but I hope to never use it. Btw I like a good natured discussion nobody gets their feeling hurt and some ideas I didnt think about come out.

Yes, its been creeping a few dollars and cents here and there. Picked some up on the dip last week. If things in the market get really hairy, I see an upswing initially followed by downwards because if the market really really tanks as in 2008 style, people (average joe) will sell to make ends meet, and then back up hard. just my humble two cents. Then again If I knew for sure id be rich so. No you cant eat it I get it but it has its place along with lead rice and beans. all do different things

Got it , thanks for that.

Mj in the canadian sector? I think has good growth potential. I don't daytrade stocks anymore. Got my ass handed to me in 1997 to 1999. Expensive and hard lesson. But I do know several people that have been killing it in that sector . There is a good youtuber called the chart guys they are heavy traders in that sector as well as crypto They dont give advise they give set ups to look for and try to teach you what the charts mean. Charting is not a crystal ball it's just about reading charts and gives you probability thats all Day trading you either have to well educated and know what your doing or lucky but luck runs out quick. Learn all you can on trading or just dont do it. If you feel good about a certain sector than consider investing only after you educate yourself you dont want to out money in at what could be at or near a top. Just my hard learned lessons. Dollar cost averaging also a consideration. Of course this is not financial advise.

last paragraph was interesting. there is always generally a 2.0 of everything worth doing. I didnt know this was discussed previously, next time i will do a search.. I understand the risk, just waiting for a bigger downturn of it comes, then a couple bucks in for the long haul. thinking 5 years or so. interesting that some larger players have entered the market, but I suppose if Shit on a stick were a tradable commodity and money could be made then I dont blame some for taking a chance. If this subject has been beaten to death before, mods feel free to shut it down. thoughts change over time, just trying to get a general feel to what a cross section think. Full disclosure I been dabbling for over a year now, won and lost some.

yup very well ware of that.

Not sure if this is the place but curious what the general consensus here is re crypto curencies. i know 99 percent of them out there are nonsense but there are a few that may have some potential. Not looking for which ones are better. nor am I trying to start whats better than what. Just want to see what you guys or gals think? Do they have a place in the future? Either way I plan on owning a few just because you never know. Diversification

Hondas make great engines , trans is the weak point on some models. research the year and model for issues, most money made on the car lots are from used cars. Research sales cross reference, car gurus, true car, ebay craigslist, etc like a homework assignment

Glock is very good at separating me from my money. going to apply for permit this week.

this is very true
