What happens if you live on a dead end street in NJ whose only exit passes through the NY border?

This

LOL I'm passing that along

I see where you're coming from. For me, it's a matter of principle over preparedness. If there were restrictions on riding a bicycle in public, but none such restrictions on bike usage on your property, I'd be inclined to ride my bike the 30 feet to the mailbox too. I'd also be fighting for bicyclists' rights

Congrats, Heaterbob! Enjoy your purty pink pistol

If you're not a reloader, I think you would be surprised at how badly dinged up .45 acp can get before it's unusable. Can't speak for rifle as I only load pistol... why not take one photo of the batch and try to sell it here?

I was kidding. It Is in NJ. Go figure!

It's Lakewood, Pennsylvania

Hur hur hur :]

It doesn't. Might one be more inclined to defend a right that one is actively exercising?

I don't think it's about safety... I think it's about principle. And/or exercising what little rights we do have so they don't get taken away as well.

That's so yesterday. Haven't you guys heard about the Beretta Pico?

I say chop it off and have fun with it. Not that you seem very affected by the opinions cast forth in this thread anyway

I wholeheartedly agree.

Springfield Loaded model

How well does duracoat hold up? Is it possible to reverse the process or change paint colors without making it too thick?

Count me in. Kudos to you for offering this up

I used SC references for my town

LOL -- yes for real!

My thoughts go out to you and yours-- stay strong.

I prefer the tang safety on the 500 over the crossbolt on the 870 as it's much more straightforward and convenient. But the 870s I have handled all seemed to have a smoother action.

Lockdown lifted. Was probably a false alarm.

We used Interlux-- They make antifouling race boat paint that is smoother than standard bottom paint.

Congrats! It will be a fun project. I just recently went through such a restoration with my father. We used an epoxy barrier coat under the bottom paint. It's probably not a good idea to do that if the fiberglass is thin and prone to flex. While it's held up on the 27' Ericson, it might crack on a lightweight racing boat. Getting the old bottom paint off was a real **** to say the least. Chemical strippers span the gamut from adequately effective (and ridiculously toxic) to "just makes things worse". If it says "green", it probably doesn't work I say the best way is to use a vacuum sander... and wear respirators. Buy LOTS of sanding discs as it clogs them quick. While you're under it you might check the packing gland, and consider replacing it with a dripless if you have the cash. Also, the scuppers went to a through-hull that was too high, so water often ran into the cockpit. If you anticipate needing to move the through-hulls or shorten the hoses, best to do it now. Resist the urge to shave the keel a touch for a bit of reloading lead Good luck!

Why doesn't he just spend the money on real ammo? He could then resell it. This is, of course, assuming he's taking photos with it.
