They should save time and also consider the attempts by NJ and CA to circumvent Bruen.

His words “Rush to judge a Latino” if he was Polish, Would he be judged on that.
That's a head-scratcher, that he is claiming this is all racial discrimination.
He's been in public office continuously since 1986...is he of the opinion that people just now realized he's Latino?

We’ll get someone whose politics we hate, sure. But it’s highly unlikely we’ll get someone so criminal. Menendez is one of the most blatantly corrupt thieves ever to occupy a senate seat anywhere. He needs to be gone. He needs to serve serious time.
At least the first of these requirements finally seems to be in reach.

17 hours ago, Old Glock guy said:My wife and I went over to Riverside Square Mall (The Shops at Riverside) yesterday. Of course, I was armed. There were no signs saying no firearms, but there was a small sign saying "Code of Conduct." In small letters under that heading, among a list of other rules like dress code, polite behavior, and such, there was a line that said "no weapons." I told my wife that as there was no large sign, I was OK. She did not agree, so in the interest of maintaining marital harmony, I stashed my gun in the car.
Curious how others here feel about this. Do you agree with my assessment? How would you have handled it?
I've added this to the list at the top of this thread, noting that 'no weapons' is a line buried in an already-small sign.

I ran the smoker this weekend, for an overnight cook of two pork butts, and since there was a little room left on the smoker, I threw on some veggies for making a smoked salsa. The pork butts smoked 15 hours over hickory, both injected, rubbed, spritzed, and glazed, both with a sweet and heat profile, though one with apple as the dominant flavor component, the other using tart cherry. To the first, I added crushed pineapple and 6 diced jalapeños. Both batches turned out great.
The veggies came off after 2 1/2 hours, and the next morning I ran them through the food processor with a hatch chili, cilantro, scallions, and some lime juice, cumin, salt and pepper, and sugar, to taste. This was also a big. hit, especially for a first effort at making salsa.

I only learned recently that beer-can burgers are a thing. Turns out there are a bunch of recipes and videos online. This one-minute video from the BBQPitBoys gives you the idea. Hamburger is molded around a beer can to leave a cavity that can be filled with all kinds of yummy stuff before cooking. Beer Can Burgers
A full-size beer can burger requires 3/4 pound or more of hamburger, so I scaled mine down slightly, using a glass that allowed me to use half-pound balls of hamburger. Cold burger, and a cold glass sprayed with PAM makes the molding easier. All were seasoned with salt, pepper, and a little Worcestershire sauce, and each burger was wrapped in two slices of bacon. The folks we had coming for dinner all had very different tastes in fillings, so I made three varieties. From the top of the photo, there are sautéed mushroom and Swiss cheese; tomato, basil, and home-smoked cheddar; and adobe sauce, sautéed onions and jalapeños, tomatillo salsa, and Mexican blend cheese. I grilled them over indirect heat for a little under an hour. These don't get flipped, so you need the low and slow heat to allow them to cook through.
Folks dove in so fast I didn't get any plated pics of the burgers on buns. Everyone loved them--there were no leftovers!

There are a number of stations at $3.47 on Rt 23 just west of 287. A good bit cheaper than where I live, so I always fill up going to/from Cherry Ridge.

All of it is unstamped. The micro stamping would only happen when the round is fired, and since the technology isn't workable, we're right back to 'All of it is unstamped'.

I've no experience with e-Bikes, but years ago did have a roof rack with a bike mount. It was a moderate pain to get a lightweight mountain bike up on the roof and held in place long enough to secure it to the mount. I'd think it would have been significantly worse with a much heavier e-Bike.

Midsouth Shooters Supply is advertising (at least in the email I received today) a sale on CCI small pistol primers. $69.99/1000.
Shipping and Hazmat will run that price right up, but if you need a lot, or someone wants to set up a group order, you could amortize those costs to something more reasonable. At least, reasonable in the current sales climate.

The speculation is endless, but I’m of the opinion that the public doesn’t have a right to know cause of death. Doesn’t matter if the deceased was a public figure or not. The right to privacy doesn’t end with death.
Families leave it out of obituaries more often than not. Good for them.

The only problem I have is that I have 2 bad knees and I can't kneel down and get up under my own steam and I can't find out if GFH will (or can) waive the kneeling requirement.I can’t help with the getting up part, but a pair of volleyball knee pads worn under your pants make a world of difference when dropping down to kneeling on a concrete range floor.
I hope they accommodate you in some fashion.

Kinda non-selective. That’ll also take out any cats in the area…maybe other mammals as well, but cats reportedly love antifreeze

43 minutes ago, raz-0 said:"Life Hacker reports that your average incandescent bulb costs $2 to $3. LEDs price out in the neighborhood of $5 to $7 a pop. Life Hacker says that according to the DOE, LED bulbs use 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs and last 25 times longer."
What's everyone's experience with this?
I never had an issue with incandescents, but I really like LEDs, as long as I get the 'warm' ones (which mimic incandescent light), not the 'daylight' ones. I've never, ever had one fail, so they do last a lot longer than the alternatives. I tend to believe the energy efficiency claims, since they're not wasting energy as heat, but I've never made a direct measurement. I do wish they were more dimmable...even the ones marketed as dimmable don't have nearly the range of incandescents when used with a dimmer.
Mostly I'm happy that they've pushed the CFLs out of the market. I hated those things.

I'm afraid I don't know. It's not something I do, for liability reasons. The closest I come is letting my nephew reload to his heart's content on my presses, for just the cost of components.

After decades of wanting to go, this week I finally was able to attend the Experimental Aviation Association AirVenture fly-in--known to most people simply as Oshkosh.
It's a beast of a show...now in its' 70th year, 10,000 aircraft fly in, and they generally get about 650,000 people through the gate over the 7 days of the event. Daily airshows, night airshows twice during the week, thousands of vendors and seminars, and oh, so many aircraft to look at.
I got a ride with another pilot at Morristown; in his Piper Aztec (6 seat twin) the flight time was a little under 5 hours, though we did stop for breakfast near Flint, MI. Sunday afternoon was peak arrivals time, and even with them landing planes at the rate of 4 a minute, we entered the conga line of incoming traffic over 50 miles from Oshkosh. They land on two runways and one taxiway, and have colored dots painted at various distances down the runways so they can clear 2 or 3 planes to land simultaneously, by assigning each one a different dot as the touchdown point.
Coming back, we had a painful 3 1/4 hour taxi time just to get to the runway--a lot of planes were leaving that morning--then we flew first to Ithaca, NY to drop off a passenger . That route took us over lakes Michigan and parts of Huron, and Erie, plus a bit of Canada. We were pinned down by weather for a few hours in Ithaca, but eventually got to Morristown 12 1/2 hours after engine start in Wisconsin.
Tragically, today there were two accidents resulting in 4 fatalities...a rarity at Oshkosh. A T6 Texan went down with two on board in the lake near the Oshkosh seaplane base, and three hours later at the ultralight runway an ultralight helicopter had a mid-air with a gyrocopter, killing two in the helicopter and injuring two in the gyrocopter, while also destroying a Mooney on the ground close to where we had been camped with the Aztec two days earlier.
I've attached pics of the traffic pattern when we were on the approach, of the grounds when we were in the landing pattern, of NASA's SuperGuppy transport which landed shortly after we did, a Ford Trimotor that was giving rides all week, an Osprey, Boeing Dreamlifter, and the C47 (DC-3) we taxied behind on departure. Not shown were hundreds of other warbirds, past and present, including more Mustangs than I could count, a surprising number of Migs of various vintages, 14 Corsairs (over half of the remaining airworthy Corsairs left in the US), great classic planes from the 1920's onward, and lots of videos from the airshows. We had a U2 show up, one of the two flying B29's, F22's doing demos of what they can do with thrust vectoring, formation flybys with up to 40 old warbirds, lots of night airshow video with aerobatic aircraft firing fireworks from the wings and fuselage while flying in front of a very impressive ground-based fireworks show...the list goes on and on.
I'll mention only one of the seminars I attended...I got to hear the pilot who flew the very last flight of the SR71 Blackbird...the one that was donated to the Smithsonian Institution at the end of the flight. They got permission for a supersonic transcontinental flight, to set a new record for a coast to coast flight. They made it from LA to Dulles in one hour and 7 minutes. Damn...

Road Trip!! How to stash a rifle while on a car trip/staying over, etc.?
in Firearm Hobby / Sport Discussion
Posted
I'm watching the thread with interest, not because I can add to whatever has already been stated, but because eventually (gotta get this house ready to sell, gotta find the new house in Idaho) I'll be moving cross-country. That's usually a 4-5 day drive.
Movers won't take the guns or whatever ammo and components I might have left by then. So the car will be packed to the gills with my shooting stuff, though what I have will be legal in all of the states I pass through, and I'll be giving Chicago (maybe all of Illinois) a wide berth just the same.
It's not practical to take everything in to a hotel every night. I'd be a nervous wreck leaving them in the car if I'm not in it, no matter how invisible they are. I'm not excited about sleeping in the car every night and only getting meals at drive-throughs. And I haven't yet found anyone willing to share the drive straight-through in a single push. My wife is quite supportive of my shooting habit, but not quite that supportive. No good options, it seems.
