From someone who lived in lower Manhattan during 9/11.... get over it. =) You will be fine, or at least the odds of something bad happening are just as bad as any other time.

Just over on feed... possibly shutting planes down @ Logan.

Very interesting stuff on the feed. Seems I heard 3 "suspicious packages."

I think they mean Black Powder.

You can probably turn on the Boston PD scanner. Plenty of free apps to listen to it online.

How about a USPSA/IDPA/SAS membership card? You draw from a holster at all of those events.

Nick, or for anyone in NYC... any black SUV's on the ground buzzing around?

So with the map, and now 2 unexploded devices..... Do you think someone's timing was (and fortunately for everyone) way way way way off?

Plus one. If it is a bomb..... how is that not terrorism. Just the liberal media doing their job to protect their own. Had this been a school shooting, they would be screaming for gun rights and republican heads. Horrible event and I hope no more fatalities. Glad it was not worse, and hopefully no more bombs out there.

But on the flipside.... after they know it is bombs, MSNBC, CNBC, others were still saying could of been an accident.

Lets not all put on our tinfoil hats. Stock market closes at low of day.

Fox News.... terrorist attack. MSNBC, CNN, CNBC - We do not know what it was, we do not want to call it terrorism yet.

Except for the most part.... this is not yelp... but people who actually know each other. But in all seriousness, before the internet, same thing happened... except the reach was not as bad and bad stories did not come out AS quickly. Any business is free to come here to respond to concerns.

How much are you looking to buy? Send me a pm, I know of a few coin shops.

Part of an issue here... people were leveraged long.... I know of a place you could of bought gold coins on only 10% margin.... and now those margin calls are coming. I think we have quite a ways to go on Gold. Silver is a better story as well, there is actually use for silver. What does gold do? Nothing, it sits pretty in your shelf. I would be a Long Industrial metals, short Precious. or....Long precious metals, short gold. To OldGlockGuy... yes debt is an issue.... but not a horrible issue right this second. Will discuss this after market close. In short... go look up the fall of Oil after it hit $143 and change.

HAHAHAHAHA.. Just had a laugh. Last week I met with a wholesaler for an ETF company that amongts other products, does commodities. We were having a discussion and I told him my stance on gold/silver, etc. Today... he calls me just now, asking for my advice. Got to love it. I do think Gold stabilizes around 1300. then will slowly go back down. Silver I like more... and around $20, I would be a buyer for long term stuff. Once again, commodities are not really a long term investment, much like housing etc, unless you can pick them up below historical average, or sell short when they are above... like Gold $1,800. Through the gravepine I am hearing though Goldman is buying up Gold as their own clients are selling it.

As much as I love to pick on slow squads, this month we were the one. I think we were larger than others as well as that we had 3 new shooters, out of 5 total, had a few shoot throughs and a few reshoots. Then, as we were the first squad on two stages, made adjustments to stages for a few potential safety issues which took a few more mins. Alec, nice stage again. Frank... missed you bud.

Knock on wood Wifey feeling ok, so will be able to make it.

I want to shoot it...... I just need to find a glock or have my permits in by then.

Dude... Awesome Idea.... Why don't all ranges do that?

Btw... I give Anthony major props.... because as busy as he is doing everything, he is here and always addresses any issues that come up.... be it on the forum, on facebook, or in any group.

I personally don't think it will matter much, however I hope they prove me wrong. They essentially got a free ride here on the forum, then decided to drop being a vendor without letting anyone know, did not reply to one message I sent to the 4 or 5 accounts they had on here. Through Troy I find out that indeed they no longer wanted to be a vendor. I guess it is great being the only game in town. The story I got, and well, they did not send me an email or a reply still.... is that they were tired of getting people "complaining" about them, so they no longer wanted to support the forum. I am just glad Anthony's range is now open and will put a large dent into them. It is only when people have a choice, poor businesses will have issues. Employee with a tongue ring chewing tobacco in front of customers. Classy. I really hope they do start paying attention to customers.

Gold is done... as I have been saying for the past few. Been short gold and triple short gold stocks since mid $1700's. It is a bubble as much as the tech bubble, real estate, and oil were. Edit... Silver is a better alternative. By far, long term it was under valued. You can pick up 40% coins at or below spot from almost any coin shop. 90% is a bit more collectible. I do have a roll of 64 halves if someone really wants. I just feel bad I did not sell $5 ago. =)

Ok.... cleaned it up In any case, I do see a benefit out of this... replacing the stupid FID system. Essentially your DL becomes the FID, and gets rid pistol permits. Great so far. My main issues are the requirement for training. Don't get me wrong... I think EVERYONE SHOULD have firearms training, I don't believe it should be a legal requirement to do so. In effect, it is a per-requisite to exercising a right. I am sure if this passes, ANJRPC and NRA will sue and win. I do not see anything in the press release about mandatory universal background checks. It does not effect me, however I think the 50 BMG ban, or it can be the 50 caliber ban in general, depending on how they write up the bill..... is another feel good Piece of Garbage, right there with OGAM. Having this come out, and being VERY VERY close to the NJSAFE report, I expect Christie to sign it into law.... not even having it go into law by not signing it and sitting on his desk.
