Like locusts, they destroy one place and move on to another and do the same.

Of course this ruling came from a liberal state Supreme Court, but still crazy. https://gatdaily.com/connecticut-supreme-court-rules-gun-manufacturer-can-be-sued-for-sandy-hook/?trk_msg=8HGAO2VTIAUK58L6IG7GE7K574&trk_contact=RTKK31HAIK7KJ69QU8BARHKU0G&trk_module=new&trk_sid=3L2GC0NG5EEG1PM10LEAU604EG

Hey Bob, sorry to hear about your friend. Very sad and difficult thing to deal with.

Agreed Screwball. There is no perfect place, everyone needs to decide what's best for them. Almost every place in the country has it's own weather hazards or any hazards for that matter. It's up to each of us to decide what matters most to us. Is FL the perfect place? No, but for me, the weather, lower cost of living and freedoms that NJ didn't afford me make FL a better place, even though I no longer work in my previous occupation. Sure, I miss flying and miss the money I made doing it, but money isn't everything and as they say, it doesn't buy happiness. Cheers.

Ditto to all above. Good experience.

There are trade offs in everything in life. It's not like we get a hurricane a week down here. It can happen just like a tornado has touched down in the town I grew up in in NJ years ago.

There are places here in Jacksonville and St. Augustine that I have found bagels and pizza on par with NJ. As far as hurricanes go, I remember reading a report years ago that more people died from the cold, snow and ice in northeast winters than tornadoes, earthquakes or hurricanes.

Depends what you do as far as income. My girl is in healthcare and got a pretty good raise when we moved here. Also, there is no state income tax, which can be a substantial savings and housing prices, property taxes and homeowners insurance are all substantially lower here than what we paid in NJ. sold a 1576 sq ft House with 2 bedrooms in NJ and bought a 2104 sq ft House with 4 bedrooms, on a pond for less money than Jersey house. Property tax is half and insurance a few hundred less. YMMV

Don't forget, there is a difference between a gun owner and a Second Amendment supporter.

I've always thought this, heather it's Gun laws or immigration, conservatives should file in a friendly court like, IIRC, the 5th circuit and get a pro-gun or pro-immigration enforcement ruling before the libs go to the 9th for there shit ruling.

When I still lived there, I voted against him in every primary. The guys a big gov't liberal who's been in Congress for way, way too long.

Same here, going in today's mail. Good luck Ant!

Lots of people pissed with them and talking boycotts. Seems they are good with knives, but not so much with guns. https://www.ammoland.com/2019/02/the-tactical-industry-and-the-erosion-of-constitutional-rights/?utm_source=Ammoland+Subscribers&utm_campaign=35153640a4-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_6f6fac3eaa-35153640a4-20726709#axzz5gH8PGpKW Seems like they used to make small donations to conservatives, but now give larger sums to anti-gun dems.

They also ceased contributions to Conservative candidates and solely donated to Democrat candidates. Benchmade donated to two primary state officials in 2017-2018. The first is Rep. Kurt Schrader. He is the rep for Oregon’s 5th Congressional District. He is not a pro-2a official. In 2012 he was quoted by The Oregonian as saying: If that 2012 date looks familiar, that is where Benchmade’s political contributions switched from small donations to Conservative candidates, to more substantial contributions to Democratic candidates. The second contribution is even more puzzling than the first. That donation was to Senator Martin Heinrich of NEW MEXICO. I scrubbed through all of Benchmade’s business listings and couldn’t find any business interests in that state. Martin Heinrich is an interesting name. He is not well known, but he was one of the names in the hat for Hillary Clinton’s Vice-Presidential candidate for the 2016 election. This guy has MUCH scarier views on the Second Amendment. In 2018 the Albuquerque Journal as saying: Yeah, this guy wants to forget targeting cosmetics and re-define language restricting firearms to function, capability and effectiveness.

You realize he's a "white supremacist" who wanted to establish a "white homeland"?

Yeah, heard this morning how he had a "stockpile of guns and massive amounts of ammo", then they said "15 guns and 1000 rounds of ammo. Typical stupidity and exaggeration. Hell, I have more then 15 handguns, forget rifles and if 1000 rounds of ammo is considered "massive", I think most of us would be worried about a raid.

Anybody here about this? Didn't see it posted. Pretty crazy a felon working at a gun show and can get away with stealing 65 guns including NFA stuff. https://www.alloutdoor.com/2019/02/15/men-arrested-stealing-machine-guns-silencers-shot-heres-atf-affidavit/?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_medium=Email&utm_content=2019-02-16&utm_campaign=Weekly+Newsletter

Although some people might like to see him step down, due to age, and have Trump replace him so as to not worry about another Scalia disaster, good article on why Thomas should stay. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/clarence-thomas-retiring-from-supreme-court-would-be-a-big-loss-even-if-replaced-by-a-conservative

Dirty Harry, Magnum Force, The Enforcer, Sudden Impact and The Dead Pool The Gauntlet wasn't Dirty Harry

Huh? You ever see Kelly's Heroes or Heartbreak Ridge?

Hang 'Em High and High Plains Drifter were good ones.

Hey Ray. Not much to say at this point. Too early to know. Everything is a guess. Some good suggestions so far, but as 10X said, need to wait for the investigation and report.

Ruger does, or at least did a .45 ACP/.45 Colt conversion. I have one with 4 5/8" barrel. 9mm/.357 Mag conversion too. Did have minor issues with each one early on, but Ruger fixed them both and no problems since.

Hey Matt, CONGRATULATIONS!!! Didn't know you moved til I just saw this. Happy for you! i generally pocket carry every day, usually my Ruger LC9 or the slightly larger and heavier S&W Shield .45. I'd carry the Shield everyday, but with pocket carry, it's a little big, but really like that gun.

Or buy an AAC upper. When I was looking to build a 300 BLK, I read of too many issues with trying to shoot supers and subs, especially suppressed. i bought an AAC 9" upper and I've never had an issue with supers or subs, suppressed and unsuppressed.
