I guess you would have to know us to see the tounge in cheek nature. We laugh about it but it gets unbelieveably tedious after a while. My sister, brother and law and I agree that adults getting together seperately and having a spirited discussion is better than involving the 4 and five year olds on the holidays. We use Thanksgiving to celebrate a few youngsters' birthdays while we are all together and it has happened that the discussions have gone on during the singing of Happy Birthday. Not good from the Mom's standpoint. We're a hockey family, through and through. No debates. You should have seen the discussion we had with my wife's family three weeks before I was to be deployed. Kentucky,and New York B.S. plus pro and anti war. When baby Jane from Denver schooled Micheal the NY architect on the Middle East wars. Oh that was fun. This is likely to happen anyway At issue is the depths of knowledge on the issues. While civil at most times there is so much knowledge on both sides that neither can wait for the other to finish their point. And every point goes on FOREVER. I feel for the kids.

Oh believe me, it gets VERY spirited.

THought you gys would appreciate this. What a mix we have in New Jersey. This note is semi serious, came from my sister and man I really hope this Thanksgiving goes okay.

Personally i find talking with cops to be some of the most enlightening conversations i have ever had. There was a time in Iraq where our 7 nypd and 2 papd soldiers held an entire DFAC of active duty military in thrall, listening to the day to day stories. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree. But let's not simply clap at ridiculous ideas that mean less than your individual vote or what you "like" on facebook.

You've now said it thrice.

100% agree. I am an independant centrist. Its time all those nit wits in Washington and those that want a third party start acting like they actually belong to the democracy they live in. I believe however, that no matter who won the election we couldn't avoid the crybaby side of this country. This is what sickens me the most.

err, then you just did ....twice

See now, the thing is, a large number of people I talk to say they are not fully democrat or republican and prefer libertarian values. But what I find so intriquing about these sorts of silly issues (and let's be clear, a petition to secced is as stupid as one to deport those that sign one) is that of obvious bias. If you want to secceed from the US over the election you don't have what it takes to live here. Why anyone would think that sentiment is purely liberal is beyond me.

Can I shoot your free AR-15?

I think hurricane sandy might have more to do with the next few gun rights battles in NY& NJ. I know what it will makes the politicians think, but i know many more people that are now talking about getting a gun than I did before. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good lord people. You still live in America. Suck it up. The Greatest Generation may not be happy with the outcome but is certainly puking about the chicken little shit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I actually like the ritual. As a new gun owner I think you might as well clean it after each trip, just to get intimate with the process. Just don't go crazy with the cleaner if you do it frequently. I prefer to least disassemble and do a quick wipedown after each trip with a large patch. I put two small drops of cleaner/oil on the patch. If that makes it too wet then i go over it with another dry one. That and two runs through with a bore snake. I don't spend more than five minutes on each, if that. I do this so that i don't just shoot and put the weapon away without an inspection, but it also makes that big cleaning go a lot quicker. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't know if it is still the case but it used to be that the only NG personnel that were allowed to have loaded weapons in the New York city were current LEO's. I had heard a few times that for the above reason NYC wouldn't bother calling the NG for guard duty because it would just take a cop off the street. I had always thought that those NG in penn station had to have specialized training, not like in 2011 when they sent anyone but gave them no bullets. That article is not really the best though. Reads a little like gossip. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Keep the paracord though, unless it is just too bulky. There are times when you can use it that no one has tought of yet because it hasn't yet happened. Last time I used any was during Irene and the front storm door busted it's latch and slapped against the house.

I would think that anything that might be required during a natural catastrophe would have a manual backup. I know in the Army we had the tanker "retailer" that ran a small pony engine to pump fuel right out of the fuel truck. If I owned a gas station I would be looking into some kind of pump driven by people power, but I doubt any station would due to the inaccuracies of the meter. But all that is looking for others, or businesses rather, to help you. For me, the first time I ever drove a car was when I was 8 and I just steered our Chevy Malibu wagon as my dad pushed it on a gas ration line in the seventies. With that memory I have never owned a vehicle that gets less than 35 mpg with 40 being the ideal. Now of course I am lucky I don't need a large car so I can get away with that, but it seems to me that there is a huge majority of people that never thought about gas lines when they bought their cars. Or that gas as a commodity can go up in price at a moment's notice, wasting your personal economy. So for me, until the nation actually starts buying for fuel economy then they should be thankful for whatever they get at the pump, no matter how little, expensive or scarce.
