I am totally on your side! I never understood how Whitman got away with ruining the pension by "diverting" $1 Billion to "balance" the budget. That is just insane. She pretty much screwed all the taxpayers in my opinion. Oh yea.. Pickle Pirate..LOL thats a good one...never heard that one before!

Its definitely not chrome shiny. Its a flat, satin, stainless look. I dont want to say matte because matte finish to me means a "textured feel". The ruger site has good example of pictures. I dont have any of mine on hand right now. http://ruger.com/products/gp100/models.html

This bill is just good ole fashion union busting. Thats it. Chris Christie will not even consider any compromise put forth by any of the unions. I totally agree with Mark WVU. It seemed like everyone only gave a crap when the economy went down the toilet but the politicians on both sides were signing these contracts left and right years ago when the economy was great. How about consolidating the school districts? Why does every town need 1 high paid superintendent ? They always go after the guys making less money. I totally agree that the spending got out of control with these sweet heart union contracts but why is Christie showing so much hate toward the teachers??? He makes it seem like a large percentage of teachers are underperforming and this is just not the case. I don't care where you work. There will always be some idiot underperforming that skates by without getting fired for a long time. The teacher bashing is just out of hand.

I will never give a penny to Verizon anymore. When I lived in Lodi , I had static in my lines and it took them over a year to fix it!!! This one technician came over completely killed the phone line and it took over a month for them to come back out to give me back my staticy line. This went on and on. Many missed appointments and poor customer service. Everyone swears by FIOS and I say the same thing to people. FIOS is good IF you dont have a problem. If you do..good luck and please don't tell me that FIOS has no problems. I have heard horror stories about it.

I have seen arborvitaes (spelling) in this color but only after the winter when it was exposed to salt for melting snow. If this is the case then the tree is pretty much dead. To me it looks diseased. If you want , try keeping it until next year and see if it greens up next season.

Do you have the link to the safe on the costco website? I looked and found a 48 firearm one but it is for $999.99. I really need to get a safe. I keep putting it off.

I am going to check it out. I have heard of the booklets before.

Maybe Zisa can still sign the FID cards from his jail cell?

Time to spend that membership money!

Dick's does not want to hire anyone over minimum wage. You can only hire 18-21 year olds that really don't care about their job because they know they are not going to stay there. They should have 1 dedicated full time person for firearms per shift. Of course then they have to pay benefits and such so that will never happen.

SO am I legally allowed to carry a recorder on me and record conversations with people? I thought this was illegal unless you notified them. I can't believe they let him record the whole situation.

$28 /hour is about right. I have heard of people saying that the auto worker makes $70/hr which is ridiculous. No autoworker makes that much. As far as cost per employee it doesnt matter union or non union you still have to pay for insurance, cost of training and benefits. Just goes with the price of running a business. I suppose a company could offer no benefits but would good employees stick around? Probably not.

Do you even know how much an auto worker actually made wage wise?? I know the exact number. I really want to hear what other people actually think an autoworker makes in those factories. There is a lot of misinformation about wages in the media and its actually pretty pathetic considering a lot of collective bargaining agreements are available online at the NLRB website. All the companies ever had to say at the contract negotiations was "NO". Mismanagement from the top down destroyed those car companies. Not necessarily all the unions fault. Corruption within the union and management has been known to happen but again, upper managment had a hand in a lot of the issues. Now public employee unions are a whole different ball game.

H1-B visa was the the death to workers in this country.

You are right about this. The only thing is you have to be able to purchase a gun the first day you get the permit. So it would really suck if you go somewhere and its out of stock!

I have to disagree. If the kid died, it would have been all his own fault. He provoked a kid 3 times his size. I bet that kid thinks twice now.

I get very itchy nose, throat, and some years eyes. Also my nose runs really bad. I have been dealing with this for the last 10 years and it seems to get worse every year. Every year I go to the doctor and he prescribes me a different nasal spray. I am not sure if its me but they only seem to work for a couple of years and then they stop working. The last 2 years or so I have been using Omnaris and this stuff was working unbelievably well until the end of last season. It started to not work so well. I have been through Flonase and Nasonex and both stopped working for me. I am starting to feel the allergies kick in too but not so bad just yet. Allegra was a prescription I have tried before in the past and was using with great success. Of course my insurance a while back stopped covering it so I pretty much stopped using it because it was just ridiculously priced. The other day I was in BJ's Wholesale and I saw Allegra available OTC! It was not to badly priced either. $35 for 90 pills. I didn't buy it because I wanted to see if I could find a smaller bottle elsewhere. Don't know if the OTC stuff is the same (supposedly it is) but why shell out $35 only to find out it doesn't work. Good old fashioned Benadryl works great for me but it puts me to sleep. There is no way I can use it at work because of machinery that I operate. Immunotherapy is where doctors give you a shot every week or so from what I understand to help with allergies. I know of friends and family that have been through this and not one of them actually said it really worked for them so I never pursued this. Anyway good luck.

Are you guys definitely going for informal clay?

I cant say that I have run into any of this brass but what is the problem with it? I just want to know what to look for. I load .45 a lot.

They do not stock any firearms. I did hear one time that they sold ammo but when I picked up my pistol I didnt see any ammo. Its just a plain Tru Value Hardware store. A hardware store the way its supposed to be!

I have used the guys at Tru Value in Lincoln Park and they were great. I definitely would recommend you call them first to let them know. You should always do that especially if its the first time your transferring a firearm to them. At the time when I transferred my gun he only charged $35 cash for both the transfer and NICS. That was a little over a year ago. You can't beat that. Just give him a quick phone call and you'll be all set to send it to him. Also I recommend getting some quotes on the forum locally because you can usually get a price pretty close to what the online prices are depending on the firearm.

Buy both! They are both pretty good guns.

Putting down "unemployed" is perfectly fine.

Screws come loose on my S&W revolver all the time. This is a maintenance issue just like if you dont maintain your semi auto it will fail. I still believe revolvers fail a lot less than semi auto. Its just a much simpler design and if built properly a revolver doesnt need to even be cleaned as much as a semi.

I have this model and it has the ambi safety on it.
