Thanks for the B-day greetings.

Thanks for the well wishes, guys. The visual of Matt jumping out of a giant cake will now haunt my darkest nightmares. Thanks, Wolfy. K

I keep trolling gunbroker, but nothing less than $300 right now. I would prefer to find her a Remington 1100 lightweight. I've looked at Mossberg Int'l SA-20, #75770 24" long - any opinions? Christmas and birthday aren't too far off. Last time I was in Silver Bullet, I saw a Charles Daly 20 ga. youth semi. I don't know anything about it, but it seemed like a nice gun. Very lightweight with a really smooth and easy action. $349 IIRC, but it may have been less. I'm thinking of it for Lynn. I feel bad shooting trap and either she gets to watch, or worse yet, stay home while I'm out at the range.

Thanks. Now I want to try one.

Welcome to the group. I shoot at Cherry Ridge, and a lot of the Northern guys are members there. There's also Shongum, which may be closer to you if you're in Warren County. It's a nice range, but they have limited membership and there's a waiting list. More about that here: http://www.njgunforums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3519

... and the sun hits him from a different angle than anything else in the photo.

If he's wearing kneepads, it could be Matt.

He must have left his Ninja face mask in his other vest.

Sorry Dan, I gave up on this thread when Matt started doing the "Should I, shouldn't I, should I, shouldn't I, should I, shouldn't I" thing for the umpteenth time. Typical woman, small soft hands and can't make a simple decision, and depends on real men to guide the choices.

Tim, I'm confused about the advantage of an SAO compared to a DA/SA. If I pull and lock the hammer on my DA/SA, it's SA, but it's slower than just DA for the first shot and SA for all of the subsequent cycled shots with the hammer back. I may be missing something, but I really don't see the pluses of SAO.

Getting into the holiday spirit??

Any armor piercing rifles??

Firecrackers and slingshots are illegal here... what do you think? But Blackpowder and Anvils are ok though... just saying... So are nitric acid and glycerin, but I'm pretty sure it's illegal to put them together (gross simplification of the process to make a point)

Nice gun, and a great deal on it. I just got the same one and so far I'm very happy with it. The first thing I did was get a set of those Hogue grips. Made a huge difference in how the gun feels and points for me. Congratulations, and good shooting.

If I thought everyone hated me because of what I am I'd never get out of bed in the morning: I'm white, so everyone who isn't hates me I'm a Jew, so everyone who isn't hates me I'm a Conservative (mostly) so everyone who isn't hates me I'm an American, so everyone who isn't (and some who are) hates me I'm Middle Class (for now), so everyone who isn't hates me I'm educated, so everyone who isn't hates me I'm tall, so everyone who isn't hates me I'm hetero, so everyone who isn't hates me If I thought that were true, I'd go nuts. Only some people from each group hate me, and I can live with that. It's the price you pay for being human and unique. We're not all the same, and the differences should be celebrated, not vilified.

I'm on Firefox and the link goes straight to the home page and passes the affiliate ID # just fine.

You're painting with too broad a brush. Extremists and fundamentalists, whether religious, ethnic or political, are always the ones who hate and despise everyone who isn't just like they are and depend on division and prejudice to accomplish their goals. Defining an entire people or group based on their extremists is exactly what they want so that the conflict will continue until there's only one group left.

say it with me... NEVER AGAIN!

Chad, Thanks for the link. Very interesting. Coincidentally, the Kew Gardens Jewish Center used to be my family's temple when most of them lived in Queens. "You can't be spiritual if you're dead" Outstanding. Ken

I was reading the comments and this one jumped out: Very concise and to the point.

Hey Troy, Happy Birthday to you.

Welcome to the group.

It doesn't matter if the bonuses were right or wrong. That isn't the issue. Look past that for just a second. The federal government took steps to levy a 100% tax on a select group of people, for a specific amount of money, related to a unique set of circumstances. If they can get away with doing it to them, what makes you think they can't get away with doing it to you? BTW, did the words "They are not allowed" come out of your mouth? Are they allowed to own stock and have voting rights in private corporations?
