How Bloomberg can say that with a straight face boggles my mind. He would like nothing better that to see every gun, everywhere, tossed into a giant cauldron and melted down into slag. It's hard to believe that there's actually someplace with worse gun laws than NJ, but there's your proof. Even here, the law allows you carry a firearm on any property that is legally in your possession, including businesses that have your name on the lease. It doesn't make any sense to prevent business owners from protecting themselves, especially those who deal in cash, in questionable neighborhoods, in areas underserved by NYPD, and who are open until late at night, when the predators come out to play. Having cameras in the stores doesn't do anyone any good if all they can do is possibly identify the animals who walk in and gun down shop owners for a few bucks in the register and a couple of packs of Skittles. They prevent nothing, and anyone who thinks they do is an imbecile. Stupid friggin' feelgood liberal dickheads.

Actually, this proves my argument that witches are hollow and made of wood. Try to keep up. In order to prevent being found out as a hollow, wooden witch, which will be proven when it's demonstrated that the accused weighs as much as duck, said witch slathers her (him)self with 15 pounds of makeup. Now, when placed on the scale, the witch will weigh more than the duck, and be declared innocent. This is why, in their infinite wisdom, the inquisitors had only to strip and bathe the accused witch prior to the weighing test. Without the additional 15 pounds of makeup, the hollow, hydrogen filled wooden witch will not outweigh the duck, and will be found guilty of witchcraft and summarily burned at the stake.

There's a big meetup happening this Saturday at Ft Dix. At least 30 of us are planning to be there. If you want to sample a wide assortment of guns, there'll be no better opportunity than this. The relevant thread is here.

There've been a few good discussions about safes here in the past couple of months. Check back through the old threads, and you'll find some helpful information and recommendations.

THE guy with guns.

Thank you, Steph. That made me laugh. Not some small, stifled chuckle, but a big belly laugh that nearly brought me to tears. I needed that.

I could put 15 pounds of makeup on a duck, and I wager it would still float.

Greetings, and welcome to the group.

If i remember correctly, 5'7".

Welcome back, Troy.

What if they were filled with hydrogen, and made of balsa wood? That could explain it.

No need to apologize. There's always room in the asylum. And pie on Tuesdays.

Somebody needs to lock this thread and toss the key. Otherwise, these quantum leaps of irrelevance are just going to get worse. May the Schwartz be with you

My third favorite Mel Brooks movie.

We crossed the bridge into ridiculous a long time ago. We're starting the short hike into ludicrous.

They don't have to be small. What if they're hollow? Size has nothing to do with weight. A pound of lead is ___ this big a pound of aerogel is _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ bigger than this.

I surely don't. My dad used to tell me never to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.

Really?? I thought it was a conclusion built on perfectly reasonable and factual base assumptions. Just like witches float because they weigh the same a ducks. Who could argue that? Or would want to?

I'd bet a week's salary that he does.

Okay, a real one for you. Just because you're such a good sport. And another

Just for you - more twinkies.

You may want to reconsider that particular phrasing.

Steph likes twinks.

That one, and the one above it... separated at birth?? Hmmm...

Please, Monty Python is the gospel.
