Good advise already above but to loose the collection over there stupidity is wrong, as was stated would the seller consider a down payment to hold them for you, and if not you could always buy the collection and have it sent to a FFL, being it's out of state your going to have to go through one anyway and see if you can work out a deal with the FFL here to hold them until the paperwork is completed.

If you used PVC glue it might be ok, but if the stock can slide we may have a problem. Harry

Yes Harry

That may have been a good thing also, not all but there are some cars who's spare is smaller than the regular tire, I'm not talking width, I mean diameter. This would give you 2 opposing tires rotating at different rates, on a front wheel drive or rear wheel drive you don't want this miss-match on the drive wheels, you want it on the dragging wheels. Some will say it's OK for a short distance, but when given the option to do it right or just get by I'd rather do it right. Harry

Already tossed out my comment on 1 of each, no rush at all, but any Idea when you might get them in so I can have the cash on hand? Harry

Yea, the first time you hear them it's a little un-nerving. When I am out in AZ at my folks house you hear them howling and making all kinds of noises as the pack close in on a kill. The one thing thats worse than that is being in the backyard in the hot tube and a mountain lion is making noise on the other side of the retaining wall no more than 10'-15' feet from you. Harry

One thing to do with wheels that have dissimilar metals that I do is put a little anti-seize on them, makes them come off with no effort at all. Harry

This is a joke and not ment as anything else: Doctors: - The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000. - Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000. (and they cause millions more with known-to-be-fatal prescription drugs and unnecessary surgeries.) - Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171. (Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of Health Human Services.) Guns: - The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000. - The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500. - The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is 000188. (Statistics courtesy of F.B.I.) Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners. Remember, "Guns don't kill people, doctors do." FACT: Not everyone has a gun, but almost everyone has at least one doctor. Please alert your friends to this alarming threat immediatley. We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand! Note: Out of concern for the public at large, the statistics on lawyers have been withheld for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention. Harry

I agree, and while I won't let it scare me, I won't go out of my way to test the system, not worth it to me and I don't have the money or time either. lol I think for me personally it's best with the current laws on the book and the amount of grey area to err on the side of caution. Holly crap, when did i become my father. Hary

Very nice, I didn't know the systems were getting that efficient, I may have to look into this more when I build a new home, but my current house I built 7 years ago and it faces the wrong was for even thinking about doing it now. Harry

Good job, I always try and help out, just never works out to be the kind in a short skirt. oh well. I believe these type of things come back to you. I do the same think with bikes being as I am a rider, I 99.9% of the time will not pass up a bike on the side of the road no matter what make, just wish all people in cars and bikes did the same. Harry

It's worth the trip, great shop and the combo Home and Shop and his property is very very nice. I could get used to living like that, and when you go you will know what I mean. Harry

I wouldn't have any Mags over 15 rounds in NJ, not even in my home locked away, not until there was a change in the law regarding having higher capacity mags. Harry

This was part of an E-mail from a retired USMC friend of mine that works over there working for as a ESO for the base. We're fine here, but busy providing what relief support the U.S. can provide and that is a lot. The base is really ramped up to do what we are directed to do by U.S Forces Japan. One great thing about the military (which includes us civilian employees both U.S. and Japanese) we can shift gears in an instant and take on another mission without half-stepping; unlike most other government entities that have meetings and procrastinate, the military just get their orders and get it done. Whatever news you watch (unless it is a Japanese news channel) you're not getting the full impact of what is happening, I guarantee. Combine hurricanes Hugo, Andrew, and Katrina, then add 2 or 3 major SoCal earthquakes, multiply times 10 and you get a good idea. Then for the heck of it, throw in a major nuclear emergency just to keep things interesting! In many cases the towns and villages infrastructure (key personnel (government, emergency personnel), equipment, facilities) are just gone; so who knows the number to call for help or how to tell the federal government where the survivors are at? Hey, the mayor does that (dead), the fire chief does that (also dead), city council (missing), no phone lines, cell towers down or no power,...and the list goes on. So initially it was, and to some extent continues to be, very confusing. Plus the weather in the devastation zone is really bad (we're doing record cold weather as far south as we are, Spring has not sprung!). Paints a slightly different picture from what our media has been reporting. My best to all over there. Harry

I think that would be better. Harry

Thanks for the invite, we haven't met but this would have been a great opportunity to put some faces to the names. Harry

One think that a lot of us do on the Harley forum I belong to is we part out a lot of things. There may be some old junk thats not worth anything and the buyback program may get you a few bucks, but for anyone that has something here and is thinking about it may want to at least post up what they have. Who knows there might be a part or some obscure item, a gun they had as a kid that would have some sentimental value to own again. Hey if people are looking to get something for their junk it can't hurt. Think about it, some parts may be good and someone might get that hard to find part and after that turn in whats left for cash. Harry

That's one way to make the wait a little easier to take, I ike that. Harry

Oh sorry, I saw the title of and I though my wife found the Forum and was looking for me... Harry

One thing to keep in mined and I think I touched on it before but the cost effectiveness is what's really a very important consideration. While very large systems can supply a whole house most systems don't really come close. You really have to weigh the cost of installation and maintenance and how long if ever you can get ahead of the money curve. Going by memory and it's not what it used to be but here goes it: Not sure if today PV's are better but lets say you have 200 SF of panels 10'X20', this would produce on average about 3000 KWH per year. See what you use on average for a year and see what kind of dent you will be able to actually put into your electric bill savings. Now if you take an average of 15 cents per KWH you looking at a 450 dollar savings. Say it cost you only 5 grand to install the 200 SF system, it would take you over 11 years to break even on your investments. Now to be green, have a battery backup for piece of mind great, but for actual cost savings in our area and the amount energy produced vs. our current cost per KWH I don't see it being the best option for me. If I was building a new home and I would break it down to see multiple systems, GEO, Solar, and Wind and see what my options were but for cost savings most home owners would be better off adding a layer of insulation to there attic, and looking at more energy efficient systems to the outside of their home ie; insulated siding, upgrading windows and the biggest one, sealing the home so you limit the loss of your heating in the winter and cooling in the summer. Also items in your home, more efficient appliances and HVAC units also. It;s not like you have to do all of this at once, but during your normal replacement of each item as they need replacement is what I see as the best options, oh and the cost of insulation and higher R value windows and siding can be an advantage come tax season when you file your taxes. I know a little off the original topic, but they do all ties into one another. Harry

Just wanted to post something after the Obama thread that got out of hand and one person (turned into a Brady-BOT) who thought anyplace that people carry or were able to easily purchase turned into the wild west and the rest of the country should model off NJ for how we buy guns. What a joke. Harry

This is 2005 data, I didn't find anything newer but this was just after a quick search: This is just a cut and paste of a small section of the original article but this gets to the point. This is the original Article: http://newsbusters.org/node/9140 Right-to-Carry Influence? Sorting FBI data by violent crime rate uncovers some interesting results. The seven least violent states are all shall-issue right-to-carry (RTC). Of the seven most violent states, three are non-RTC (includes D.C.) Since about 75% of all states are RTC, 43% of the worst being non-RTC makes these states over-represented at the unpleasant end. The five states with the lowest murder rate are RTC, but two of the five worst are non-RTC. The eleven states with the lowest robbery rate are RTC, but of the eleven worst, 5 are non-RTC. Nine of 10 states with the lowest assault rates are RTC, while 3 of 10 with the highest rates are non-RTC. The only exception is in rates of rape, where three of the 10 lowest are non-RTC, while only one non-RTC state is in the 10 worst. Overall, non-RTC states average 27.8% higher violent crime rates, most notably 43.8% higher murder and 85% higher robbery rates, than RTC states. (See Table 4) The exception is rape: non-RTC states averaged 21.1% lower rates, reversing a 9-year trend where 10 states with RTC laws enacted during 1995-1996 saw their rates of rape drop faster than non-RTC states Harry

A few things are on your side, first you have a Wife that is interested, that is not always the case. You will understand more when it come time to buy guns, accessories, storage (gun locker or safe) etc; Second you have found the forum here, there is a unbelievable amount on information and knowledge here, keep in mind not of it legal advise but there are a few here just probably quote the law better than most LOE's, not all but some for our LEO current and former. 3rd, find a good school, Gun for Hire is my recommendation, fantastic staff and very good programs. Also here is something else if you check out GFH, if you have another couple I think they do offer a discount for parties of 4 or more. On a note of what the Basic Pistol will get you, beside a certificate, it also qualifies you to apply for CCW (Concealed Carry) in different states if you apply. Keep in mind this is just the minimum requirements, it's not like a Basic Pistol is all you need to carry and handle it properly, but it's a great starting point. You will learn safety, proper handling and how guns work in along with all the basic knowledge you need to start off. Harry

I'M DONE, you have the right to your opinion and I have mine and I see as sad as it looks, we are not going to see eye to eye on this. Have a nice day Harry

Stiffer penalties for crimes with firearms needs to happen, not more restriction on out 2A rights. All the gun laws do to make it hard for UNRESTRICTED people to obtain firearms. People who shouldn't have them will ALWAYS have them. It's not like Criminal prospect #1 goes and applies for their FID and a couple PP's sits around waiting for them to come in and get DENIED and say's oh well I guess I better go look for a job now that I can't rob people. Criminal #2 doesn't apply for anything, picks up a hot gun in a back alley and goes to work. They don't care about the law, or they wouldn't be breaking it in the first place, but if you want to make it harder for the unrestricted person to defend them selves, I just don't see the point and NEVER WILL Harry
