I'd say he is the Master. "The Guns of the South" was fantastic.

If you are a NY police officer and you are trying to stop gun crime by profiling two people with expensive hybrid bikes on a Thule rack in a luxury car from NJ ... you're going to be waiting a long time. Seriously, her bike cost 3x as much as the Kel Tec I carried. But that being said, I did carry my PF9 which was buried under about a ton of my beloved's luggage - and the magazines were empty. So if in the event I did get pulled over by some strapping young superhero, he wasn't going to get me with violating the 7 round provision of the SAFE Act.

I think some schools are bringing back archery - more of a nod to the popularity of "The Hunger Games," than any other kind of thinking. I'll admit that I was uncomfortable with how nice people were. I couldn't figure out why they were bring nice and what they wanted from me. It was very strange to have a bartender ask me what my name was - I mean, why does he care? I guess I'm just used to New Jersey, where everybody has an ulterior motive.

Not bad. It felt like November in New Jersey. You need a jacket and hat, but no gloves. You can lose the hat around midday. I liked going out on the porch in the morning with a cigar and a hot cup of coffee looking at the view while I was still in my pajamas.

I just spent the last three days biking the old Missisquoi Valley Rail Trail in northern Vermont. This is a trail that runs from Richford all the way down to St. Albens. I open or concealed carried the entire time I was there. #1. In the three days I was there I didn't see a single gun. I didn't see anybody open carrying, or printing. I think that guns are just not a big deal to these people. It's just a farm tool. Nobody gave my gun a second glance. #2. I didn't see a single "no guns sign." #3. All of the gas stations were multi-purpose general stores. They sold everything from wine to JB Weld to Ammunition. And yes, they had .22 Ammo - in stock on the shelf. #4. I only saw one police officer and he was a Tribal officer at that. #5. I conceal carried during the Ben and Jerry's factory tour. I saw plenty of "no smoking" signs, but not a single "no guns" sign. #6. I didn't see a single gun store. I think business can't afford to specialize in one thing up there. That's why the gas station sold wine and JB Weld. I think the hardware stores double as gun shops or people just purchase guns from each other. #7. There was an article on the local paper about a kid who came to school with three guns in his car. The guns were found by the shop teacher who was working on the kid's car. The guns were on school ground and the kids was repramanded by the school, but he had broken no laws. Apparently it's still fairly common to bring your guns to school if you are going hunting after. #8. There was another article in the paper about the local Burlington Town Counsel changing their gun laws in town to ban guns in bars and require Burlington residents to get carry permits. I'm not sure how well that is going to go over. #9. I think every other car was a Subaru Forester. #10. There aren't many jobs up there. Yes, you may call Vermont a gun paradise, but you are 40 minutes away from a hospital if you get sick, there are no Italian restaurants, and basically no jobs unless you want to work at a dairy. But... this is the view outside of my home right now: This was the view a mile from the bed and breakfast: So there have got to be some advantages.

I don't think that anyone in Trenton would shed a tear if the gun shop population dropped to single FFL to service everyone.

I was about to say... Or remember the good old days when you could get arrested for possessing pornography, drunk driving was an excuse for your accident and all of the stores were closed on Sunday because you had nothing better to do than go to church, right? I do miss the "good old days" of being able to smoke wherever I damn well pleased and gas was $0.69 a gallon, but don't want to give up my internet connection to time-travel back to the 80's for that. Edit: I will admit that I love smoking and remember quite fondly the days when you could light up a cigar on an airplane.

I was about to say was I the only guy who noticed that this happened is Russia.

And if you own a Beretta, you bring along an extra girl or two for the poor socially inept XD owners.

I'm never serious.

Good to meet another fellow Beretta owner. Wait a minute... just *one* girlfriend?

I don't think so. As long as you are not a felon, alcoholic, drug abuser or want to violently overthrow the government, you should be okay. Gecko45 is that you? :-) But seriously, welcome to the forums. What town do you live in?

#1 I'm Jewish. At Christmastime I should not be forced to park in the back lot of the mall just because a bunch of Gentiles feel like buying more crap they don't need and have taken all the spaces. Jews should have designated parking spaces close by the mall doors from Black Friday to New Years. I shouldn't have to suffer for your religious beliefs.

No, it isn't. I think that before the SAS / Iranian Embassy event, the MP5 was just another SMG. The SAS footage made it cool. Die Hard helped as well. The UZI and the Sterling were was laying down lead long before H&K decided to downsize the G3 and create their quaint little peashooter, although they were substantially heavier.

I don't think so. It seems about right.

Note that the CX4 has some distinct advangates over the MP5: * Ambidextrous with left / right ejection * Amfbidextrous cocking handles * Fist-meets fist reloading like the Uzi - even when you are tired and in the dark, fist meets fist to reload. * Bolt Hold open * Uses 92 and PX4 magazines.

You know, I was going to, but I was late for a date with two beautiful Italian women, and the tailor at Fiorvanti’s was taking forever getting my measurements. I'm just glad that my Ferrari 458 came with the CX4. I made it there on time.... now pardon me, Elisabetta Canalis and Federica Ridolfi want their dessert... Enjoy that Just Right Carbine should you choose to purchase it, Gfl216. I hear they are very... rustic.

I have noticed that women tend to love the M&P Shield, but it's more about what feels good for her.

Jew getta cab?

The Beretta CX4 is a fine carbine. I owned one right up until Last February. I was sad to see it go, but it was a fine piece of machinery.

Yey, Deerpark, jeet yet?

Many doctors will work for cash - in fact they prefer it.

I would take a picture of it, sell it on the forum, and use the money to buy a Mossberg 500. But seriously, much of it depends on what you plan to use the gun for. If it's home defense I would say that the #1 accessory would be a sidesaddle or buttstock shell holder. After that, maybe a flashlight. The 870 is pretty darn good out of the box. You have a fine gun.

Beats me... I try not to think about the convoluted rats nest of our gun laws or else this happens:
