I'm not really a rifle guy, so I'm just bringing a couple of handguns to be sociable with the group, and a couple of shotguns to play with on the skeet field. I have a semi that needs a good cleaning and some trigger time. Last time I had it out, it was only working intermittently. I may take this chance to wring it out some.

Happy Anniversary, Tim.

I understand the benefits of systems that can collect passive information and make it searchable, but I don't care for any technology that has that kind of potential for abuse. I feel the same way about traffic light cameras.

Okay. It'll be good to see you again. Been a while. Thanks for putting this meetup together. Gonna be fun. I'm looking forward to it.

Chris, I have a P22. Are you coming to Dix on Saturday? I can bring the key if you don't have a solution before then. K

The only thing keeping Nerf guns legal is the pressure being put on the legislature by the powerful Nerf lobby. I've heard they've donated upwards of $38.50 to candidates on both sides of the aisle, hoping to keep the lawmakers from setting their anti-firearm sights on "devices that fire low velocity soft foam projectiles from manually charged low pressure air systems". I fear that it's only a matter of time before Nerf falls under the heels of advancing gun control laws, and then... Super Soakers. "You can put an eye out with that thing!"

It's a way to keep guns out of the hands of (generally) law abiding poor and minorities. With the price of licenses and registrations dropping significantly, they need to find a way to keep legal guns out of the hands of "martians". see below for reference I've always found it funny that the very demographic that the Liberals pander to, and who continue to vote for them in spite of their bigotry, are the ones they steadfastly continue to try to deny the right to self defense. And the people just refuse to see it. Sheep. Reference: I used to work for a commercial real estate/relocation company. I learned that no group of humans is more biased and bigoted than real estate people, but since it would be considered bad form to display such bigotry overtly, any time they needed to refer to some minority demographic, they used a code word - "martians" For example: "How many martians live in the neighborhood?" "Don't worry, we're looking to relocate you into an area with very few martian neighborhoods nearby" " At the price you're paying, no martian could bid against you"

I'm the very last one to be talking about the quality of posted content. I post as much irrelevance as any 3 of you guys combined. That said, take this however you want to, but I think that the line has to be drawn when the posts reflect badly on the shooting community. This is a public forum, and any registered user has access to virtually all of the threads. Once someone comes on with a post that makes us look bad as a group, that makes us look just like the kind of people the antis want us to be perceived as, and does that repeatedly, then any action possible to put a stop to it should be taken. I'm not a moderator, and I don't know where the line was, but I do know that it's been moved to a point where the posts are less inflammatory, less militant, less provocative and more sensible and well thought than they were before the format change. I applaud Maks for setting a higher standard for us, and the mods for staying on top of the threads. I know some people think there's less freedom and less of a neighborhood feel to the new rules, but I think they'll benefit us as community in the long term. K

Bandwidth limit exceeded.

I've mostly forgotten the old format, but the are a couple of things I'm still having usability issues with in the new one. The one that stands out is the inability to easily send PMs to multiple recipients. No big deal, I manage to get it done, but it's not a simple one click thing like in the old one.

Trap. Skeet is tougher because the doubles come from opposite sides, fly faster and closer and stay in the air for less time than trap doubles. On the other hand, I've seen you empty a tube at a single bird on the SG field at Cherry Ridge. Didn't always hit it, but the speed you could miss it was hugely impressive.

skeet? crossing doubles? or trap? parallel doubles?

they're standing in line with 75 cents each to judge for themselves

I'll try to keep the innuendo out of my response. You can't effectively shoot doubles with a pump gun. They fly too fast to get back on the bead after racking the gun. If you want to try the OU, feel free to give it a try. That was an innuendo free response. Don't read anything into my answer beyond what I wrote. Damn, that was tough! I'm never doing that again.

Yeah, I'm thinking it's gonna be fun. Even if I don't get to shoot much, it'll be nice to meet some of the southies (and centrists). Besides, I'm looking forward to trying skeet when there's no pressure to hit anything.

My originals are in the safe with the rest of the gun paraphernalia. I don't carry any copies.

Greetings and welcome.

That by itself wouldn't bother me. It's just that I'm getting to the point where I fill it out better than she does that pisses me off. See, Wolfy, she can take a pounding, rebut it, and come back for more. I admire that in a linguistic adversary woman.

That's her with Paris Hilton.

Pipes, I can't speak for everyone, but I wasn't being accusatory, and i apologize if you read it that way. I understand that: 1 - you guys can't be everywhere... 2 - nobody has the power to predict when/where something bad is gonna happen... 3 - the very idea of holding police liable for crimes committed simply because they arrived after the fact is absurd. We all don't have a cop walking alongside of each one of us, nor should we. Personal responsibility still means something. Not all of us here think "badged up moron" when we're talking about LE.

What Mark said. And, this could be making its way through the system as a scorched earth, last resort alternative to taking another look at the budget cuts. "If we can't find some money to keep these services going, we may have to allow the sheep population to arm legally defend themselves, and you all know what will happen then. It can't be allowed... there would be chaos. The streets will run red with the blood of the innocent. We MUST find a way to keep this from happening to our children. More taxes! More, I say... MORE, not less."

Thanks, Chris.
