Displaced Texan

In other news:

I think I’m going to list mine this weekend. It’s a spare, taking up space.

Grind down past the weld, and pull out the pin...before you unscrew it.

To my knowledge, in NJ, it must be pinned and welded. Threaded barrel would count as a feature on the ‘naughty list’. You can have a threaded barrel on a bolt action rifle all day long...

In NJ, you cannot have a threaded barrel on an AR. You must pin and weld a muzzle device or a thread protector, regardless of your barrel is 16” or greater.

This. I have done this several times myself WITHOUT damaging threads.

I love Goya products, and have several of them as staples in my household. I have never looked into their politics...and I didn’t care (until now). They produce high quality products at a fair price. There are several products they make that are on my ‘gotta try’ list, and I think this is the excuse to accelerate those plans.

CZ has some very nice semi auto hunting shotguns at a decent price point. I have a CZ712 utility I’m pretty pleased with. It’s a gas gun, but they also make an inertia gun as well. The Utility model is a 20” barrel, with interchangeable choke tubes. CZ’s shotguns are Turkish made..initially I was a little skeptical, but it appears that was unfounded. The only ‘problem’ with the CZ line of shotguns is that there isn’t much in the way of ‘accessories’, for those who like to play Barbie with their guns. For me, the Utility model fits the purpose for me perfectly...a beat around the ranch shotgun. No accessories required. https://cz-usa.com/product-category/shotguns

I didn’t realize there was a bike shortage. I have an extra 26” Cannondale Mt. bike I could part with....

That’s a PD stealth car. I’ve seen several of them in NJ, and the State Troopers in Maryland also used them.

I too avoid FB...but my wife is on it. I have her list things for me on FB Marketplace.

Howdy! Welcome to the forum!

I always have the desire to help them out....with my pneumatic nailer.

I love ‘The Far Side’

Like KG, he’s an asshat looking for attention.

I think these days they are dump fodder. No one I am aware of fixes them anymore.

BLM is a business...and their business is influence. They don’t give much of a shit about anything that doesn’t fit their narrative. Keeping the strife going, makes them money. I should clarify, BLM is a 501C, non profit (made that way under the Obama Administration). The organization is (largely) tax exempt. Don’t let that fool you, they ARE making $$, and staff/organizers are getting paid. The Soros Open Society is funding them, and there are many corporations donating to them. Hmmmmm.....getting paid to rabble rouse, under the guise of social injustice.....
