Off to DC for three days.
That would be great, except of course, since you will be in DC and if you don't have a place to store your firearms in VA while there, don't.

Off to DC for three days.
The NRA Museum is worth the trip, but it isn't in DC, but as stated, in Fairfax, VA. If you are into aviation at all and decide to go to the NRA Museum, then plan on Udvar-Hazy. It is just south of Dulles Airport, not too far from The NRA. Been about 10 years since I've been there, but they had the Space Shuttle Enterprise, an SR71 as well as many other historic aircraft. The museum entry is free, you pay to park, so if you took a bus there you wouldn't pay for the museum. Obviously if you have a few people in your family and go in one car, it's one fee to park, think it was something like $12 10 years ago. Also, as stated, the Smithsonian is definitely worth it. Just realize it's huge and can take days if not weeks to see everything. Of course you have all the monuments to see which is great for the kids, as well as the war memorials. Have a good trip. DC, with it's history could be a great place if it wasn't for all the criminals. Those on the street as well is in the Capitol and other gov't buildings.

ATF Documents Prove Fast and Furious......
was all about new gun control regulations. Wow, go figure. Doubt anyone here is surprised. Think anyone in the O admin would be willing to own up to the truth? Yeah, didn't think so. http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2014/12/sharyl_attkisson_docs_indicate_atf_was_using_fast_and_furious_to_justify_new_gun_regs.html#ixzz3N2hO0RZA December 26, 2014 Sharyl Attkisson: Docs indicate ATF was using Fast and Furious to justify new gun regs By Thomas Lifson Just as Second Amendment civil rights activists feared, federal government bureaucrats were supplying illegal firearms to Mexican drug cartels in the expectation that it would led to pressure for more regulation. Analyzing a 60 page document release in response to a FOIA action by Judicial Watch Attkisson writes: Justification for New Gun Control Regulations ATF’s internal Public Affairs Talking Points show the agency was using Fast and Furious to help justify new gun control regulations–without telling the public that ATF was actually facilitating the delivery of weapons to Mexican drug cartels. The talking points (p. 15) state: These cases demonstrate the ongoing trafficking of firearms by Mexican DTO’s and other associated groups operating in Arizona and the need for reporting of multiple sales for certain types of rifles in order to ferret out those intent on providing firearms to these criminal groups.” There is much more in her report, so read the whole thing. But keep in mind: Clues as to why President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder kept the public documents secret for so long may be found in one 60-page release examined below. Nearly three years after-the-fact, its news value is diminished. If these documents had been turned over when Congress subpoenaed them or when they were first requested under FOI law, they would have revealed damaging information in the lead-up to President Obama’s re-election in 2012. By exerting executive privilege, the President and Holder kept them hidden until the court challenge forced their release. Ms. Attkisson is a national treasure.

I have a Ruger Blackhawk 45 acp/45 Colt. I also have a Desert Eagle in 44 Mag Haven't shot the Blackhawk with the 45 Colt much, but don't remember the recoil being much more than the acp in that gun, Definitely not as much as the semi-auto 44 mag.

Going to Range 14 for the first time
Just make sure you do the speed limit near the range. I believe it's Cookstown (?) that has a reputation of ticketing for just a couple mph over the speed limit.

Question on finances, 401k stocks or whatever
It depends on the adviser. As was posted above, some make a commission on every trade, which gives them incentive to continuously move your money around. Not a bad thing to move money when it makes sense, but not just so the adviser can make money. Many make a fixed percentage. The more money in your account, ie you're making money, the more they make. The less in your account, ie you are losing money, the less they make as the account is worth less.

Question on finances, 401k stocks or whatever
Well, as you said, many, many major corporations have frozen their pension plans for people under a certain age. My last company did. I'll collect a couple hundred dollars a month when I retire. The government needs to as well. We are the ones paying for it and not only can't we afford it, most of us don't get it.

Agree, but then again, in this state, we see how well elections work with legislators.

Bridgegate scandal lawsuit
He can keep is gun rights for all I care, although I would bet he's more likely an anti than not, but using whatever logic he used to allow this suit to go forward, he must be mentally ill.

Bridgegate scandal lawsuit
Damn, can I sue Cuomo and NYS for the 2 hour and 45 min drive home from Long Island a couple of months ago? I guess they deprived me of my Constitutional rights. Stupidity at its finest. Whatever judge said this lawsuit could go forward should be removed from the bench immediately and committed to a psych ward.

Best Liquor Stores within 30 Minutes of Eatontown?
Check Wegmans, they have a good liquor section. Also, if you're a member of SAMs Club or know someone who is, they have some good scotch.

The pediatrician question
Yep, expect more intrusion now that the senate has confirmed that P.O.S. Anti-gun douche as surgeon general. Firearms are a public health hazard according to him.

Flying with a handgun
That's what I've been told. I've flown with my handgun probably 10 or more times out of Newark to Phoenix, Salt Lake, Las Vegas and Jacksonville and have never been asked to put the card in the case, just on top of the case. The only "different" instruction I've received was in Vegas and that was that the ammo had to be in the case with the firearm. Never been told that before and never did that before.

What to buy; 9mm revolver? I'm confused.
If you want to do that, you're better off buying a Ruger Blackhawk Convertible
