They're expecting high tide flooding through tomorrow's AM high tide. For all of you shore guys, stay safe and if it looks bad, get the hell out of Dodge.

Happy Birthday!

I have the slip-on style on both of my 12 gauge shotguns. Makes the guns much softer to shoot. I've done as many as 8 almost consecutive rounds of trap without even feeling it. No soreness, no aches, no bruises. Adds about 1" to the LOP, which is just fine for my disproportionately long arms. I recommend them for everyone. About $20.00 at WalMart.

Concise and to the point.

When did we become Minnesota? Aren't we the brunt of enough jokes? That's like the stripper running for Governor of Nevada.

Maybe a run for Lautenberg's seat??

Condolences to the families.

Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray, especially with a nice thick pastrami sandwich and a knish. Everything else pales in comparison. Cel-Ray Mojito... yummy.

Looks like I'm sitting this one out. Too many things going on this Saturday that can't be moved to Sunday or put off for another week. I'm already creeping up to a couple of deadlines. I feel bad about missing the last one of the year, but I can't help it. You guys have fun and stay safe.

Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others. Groucho Marx

That's is VERY unlikely to happen. he'll put it off till he's out of office. Let Texas have him. They've already made his reservation.

... sitting down, with a roll of toilet paper in one hand.

I'm guessing clown pants.

pics! Sorry, I ate it all without thinking, but it did look just like the posters in the store. I could snap some pics at home later if you're interested. :obscene-tolietpush:

QuickChek 12" meatball parm sub, small tomato-basil bisque and an Arizona green tea. Should hold me 'till dinner.

From the list... This guy must have missed that particular lesson.

I've seen an expanded list like this, with over 100 items, but I can't find it now. Outstanding examples of hypocrisy and faulty (Liberal) thought. Banning guns works, which is why New York, DC, Detroit & Chicago cops need guns. Washington DC's low murder rate of 69 per 100,000 is due to strict gun control, and Indianapolis' high murder rate of 9 per 100,000 is due to the lack of gun control. Statistics showing high murder rates justify gun control but statistics showing increasing murder rates after gun control are "just statistics." The Brady Bill and the Assault Weapons Ban, both of which went into effect in 1994 are responsible for the decrease in violent crime rates, which have been declining since 1991. We must get rid of guns because a deranged lunatic may go on a shooting spree at any time and anyone who would own a gun out of fear of such a lunatic is paranoid. The more helpless you are the safer you are from criminals. An intruder will be incapacitated by tear gas or oven spray, but if shot with a .357 Magnum will get angry and kill you. A woman raped and strangled is morally superior to a woman with a smoking gun and a dead rapist at her feet. When confronted by violent criminals, you should "put up no defense - give them what they want, or run" (Handgun Control Inc. Chairman Pete Shields, Guns Don't Die - People Do, 1981, p. 125). The New England Journal of Medicine is filled with expert advice about guns; just like Guns & Ammo has some excellent treatises on heart surgery. One should consult an automotive engineer for safer seat belts, a civil engineer for a better bridge, a surgeon for internal medicine, a computer programmer for hard drive problems, and Sarah Brady for firearms expertise. The 2nd Amendment, ratified in 1787, refers to the National Guard, which was created 130 years later, in 1917. The National Guard, federally funded, with bases on federal land, using federally-owned weapons, vehicles, buildings and uniforms, punishing trespassers under federal law, is a "state" militia. These phrases: "right of the people peaceably to assemble," "right of the people to be secure in their homes," "enumerations herein of certain rights shall not be construed to disparage others retained by the people," and "The powers not delegated herein are reserved to the states respectively, and to the people" all refer to individuals, but "the right of the people to keep and bear arms" refers to the state. "The Constitution is strong and will never change." But we should ban and seize all guns thereby violating the 2nd, 4th, and 5th Amendments to that Constitution. Rifles and handguns aren't necessary to national defense! Of course, the army has hundreds of thousands of them. Private citizens shouldn't have handguns, because they aren't "military weapons'', but private citizens shouldn't have "assault rifles'', because they are military weapons. In spite of waiting periods, background checks, fingerprinting, government forms, etc., guns today are too readily available, which is responsible for recent school shootings. In the 1940's, 1950's and 1960's,anyone could buy guns at hardware stores, army surplus stores, gas stations, variety stores, Sears mail order, no waiting, no background check, no fingerprints, no government forms and there were no school shootings. The NRA's attempt to run a "don't touch" campaign about kids handling guns is propaganda, but the anti-gun lobby's attempt to run a "don't touch" campaign is responsible social activity. Guns are so complex that special training is necessary to use them properly, and so simple to use that they make murder easy. A handgun, with up to 4 controls, is far too complex for the typical adult to learn to use, as opposed to an automobile that only has 20. Women are just as intelligent and capable as men but a woman with a gun is "an accident waiting to happen" and gun makers' advertisements aimed at women are "preying on their fears." Ordinary people in the presence of guns turn into slaughtering butchers but revert to normal when the weapon is removed. Guns cause violence, which is why there are so many mass killings at gun shows. A majority of the population supports gun control, just like a majority of the population supported owning slaves. Any self-loading small arm can legitimately be considered to be a "weapon of mass destruction" or an "assault weapon." Most people can't be trusted, so we should have laws against guns, which most people will abide by because they can be trusted. The right of Internet pornographers to exist cannot be questioned because it is constitutionally protected by the Bill of Rights, but the use of handguns for self defense is not really protected by the Bill of Rights. Free speech entitles one to own newspapers, transmitters, computers, and typewriters, but self- defense only justifies bare hands. The ACLU is good because it uncompromisingly defends certain parts of the Constitution, and the NRA is bad, because it defends other parts of the Constitution. Charlton Heston, a movie actor as president of the NRA is a cheap lunatic who should be ignored, but Michael Douglas, a movie actor as a representative of Handgun Control, Inc. is an ambassador for peace who is entitled to an audience at the UN arms control summit. Police operate with backup within groups, which is why they need larger capacity pistol magazines than do "civilians" who must face criminals alone and therefore need less ammunition. We should ban "Saturday Night Specials" and other inexpensive guns because it's not fair that poor people have access to guns too. Police officers have some special Jedi-like mastery over handguns that private citizens can never hope to obtain. Private citizens don't need a gun for self- protection because the police are there to protect them even though the Supreme Court says the police are not responsible for their protection. Citizens don't need to carry a gun for personal protection but police chiefs, who are desk-bound administrators who work in a building filled with cops, need a gun. "Assault weapons" have no purpose other than to kill large numbers of people. The police need assault weapons. You do not. When Microsoft pressures its distributors to give Microsoft preferential promotion, that's bad; but when the Federal government pressures cities to buy guns only from Smith & Wesson, that's good. Trigger locks do not interfere with the ability to use a gun for defensive purposes, which is why you see police officers with one on their duty weapon. Handgun Control, Inc., says they want to "keep guns out of the wrong hands." Guess what? You have the wrong hands. Guns are used in self-defense over 2 million times a year. However, this makes the attempted crime a "non-event," which necessarily complicates the Police investigation. Without civilian ownership of guns, these Police investigations would not have been compromised. Civilians should leave crime prevention to the Police, who are properly equipped to investigate following the crime's completion. Some .004 % (4/1000 of 1%) of guns are used in crime each year. This is way too high. All guns should be banned Guns are unnecessary. In 98% of civilian gun defenses, no shot is fired. If you are not going to fire a shot, you clearly don't need a gun. This proves that the guns are unnecessary. Banning guns will prevent these unnecessary defenses. Guns cause criminal migration. In tough gun-law Washington, D. C., violent crime rates are very high. This high crime rate is caused by the migration of criminals from gun havens like Virginia. This migration is caused by the criminal's cowardly avoidance of armed householders and concealed-carry civilians. This criminal migration is detrimental to helpless unarmed citizens in no-gun areas and must be stopped. Guns should be banned everywhere. Most gun crimes are committed by inner city gangs and drug dealers. These relatively small and geographically restricted groups consistently commit the majority of gun crimes, which usually peak as turf wars erupt over Drug War changes. The best way to prevent this is by denying guns to all law abiding people everywhere. No woman needs to protect herself from rape, assault or murder. The Police will protect women by investigating the crime after the fact. Remember, Police paperwork is all the protection anyone really needs. Guns owners are disrespectful of authority. Good citizens should completely rely on the authorities. A failure to do so is an invariable sign of improper and overly independent attitudes. Failure to completely and absolutely trust and depend on the authorities is excessive democracy and sends a bad message to children. Guns owners engaging in self-defense are taking the law into their own hands. This is wrong. Only the Police and Criminals have the right to take the law into their own hands. It should be kept out of the hands of citizens. Children and young people should remain ignorant about guns. Real guns and real gun knowledge dissipate the fantasies created by violent video games and TV. Ignorance, once lost, can never be restored and needs to be protected. Not to mention the lost sales of all the violent movies, TV shows, video games, etc! Guns reduce people's reliance on the Police and Government. This fosters a mistaken belief in "rights". No person has the right to question authority. No person should be less than 100% dependent on authority. This is fundamental to social order. Banning guns will help to establish the Order the authorities want. This is good.

Nor should he have to. When we, as a nation, become so tolerant that we happily tolerate intolerance, we've stepped past the freedom and inclusion that have made America the greatest nation in the world into a nation of fear, paranoia and self-loathing.

The Marines are 234 years old today. Happy Birthday to you all, and thank you all for your service.

Thanks, guys.

The OP's original question wasn't about demonstrating ownership, it was about transportation and possession. If you can prove that a pistol you're in possession of doesn't belong to you, how is that useful?

I have guns, and Lynn has guns. If I go to the range alone, I leave her guns home, and vice versa. I'm of the belief that bringing her guns would be considered an "illegal transfer" under NJ laws, and would rather not take that chance. If I want to shoot something of hers, I bring her along. It usually doesn't take too much convincing.

Congratulations. Now get out there and make your clients some money (and a bit for yourself, too).

Be vewy, vewy quiet. We're hunting capitawists.
