This mentality to just go out and vote is insane. Go out and educate yourself before you vote. Too many stupid people vote, they know every Dancing with the Stars and American Idol winner and runner up from every season but can't articulate a single legitimate reson for voting for or against a candidate. It is like telling someone to just go out and buy a gun because it is your right, don't bother to learn how to properly and safely handle it, just go buy one because it is your right. Both may be your right but both are equally dangerous if not properly educated. Remember for every well informed voter there is an ignorant and uninformed voter ready to cancel out your vote. Now go out and vote for the least sucky candidate. ;-)

Glad to have gotten my vote in a few weeks ago using the Vote By Mail system. I'd happily pay the two stamps again for the convenience of not having to go to the polling place. I hope voting via Internet becomes more prevalent within the next few years, would certainly make more people get involved.

If you are interested how we vote here in KY.

 

Here in KY an ID is required to vote (drivers license or ss card or I think birth certificate) and it is a combination of paper and electronic voting. My local voting place is the Firehouse. You get a paper and fill in with a black pen a box next to your candidate that you vote for, there are spaces for the, party lines (vote all rep or dem ), individual spaces for the candidates, spaces for the 'write ins', ballot initiatives and so on.

 

When you are done, you go to this machine (looks like a copier/fax) , feed your ballot in (like you would a fax machine or printer) and when the American Flag comes up on the screen ..your vote is counted. And you get one of those 'I voted' stickers. KY polling places runs from 6 am to 6 pm.

 

KY has its strange laws, one of them is that alcohol can't be sold while polls are open. The Kroger supermarket has the beer section roped off during this period. I think South Carolina is like this too.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in

      I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html

      The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam

      Softer Holster

      I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.

      Light primer strikes

      By Mr.Stu · Posted

      Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
