I quite agree....those who wish to terrorize us have already won,we live in constant fear,spending massive amounts of resources on what amounts to feel good but largely ineffective procedures and it's time to get back to perhaps a new normal....still vigilant but not so scared. Damn it all!!!.... make that a double Stewardess.

Very nice indeed..... good luck with her.

Sounds an awful lot like the ill fated Sig Sauer p250 line. purchase one gun and then have the ability to change not only from a sub compact to a full size but also different calibers. The concept was never fully supported by Sig ,conversion kits were so rare and expensive it made more sense to just buy another gun,mags were just as rare and expensive and accessories were non existent. the DA trigger was a nightmare and the gun languished in bargain bins all over America until this current run came along. I understand that FN produces a quality weapon but so does Sig...... so it's doesn't seem as innovative or groundbreaking at second glance.

The Gerber is a small skeleton folder but with a wicked sharp partially serrated blade that I keep in a small first aid and personal toiletry kit I always travel with.It was only detected once in Singapore and the agent allowed me to mail it home so it's still traveling with me today.

I've carried a Gerber 05898 ridge folding knife in my carry on for perhaps 10 years and it's only been detected once....so you can just image what else gets on board. Much todo about nothing IMO.

I find NASCAR fans loyalty to their sport so quaint, Yes NASCAR has a large viewership but all you have to do is google NASCAR viewership stats to find that while cyclical, it is declining rapidly and even more alarming for their management and advertizing staff,it's declining most among the ever important 18 to 34 demographic...This is the age group that exercises the most buying power for all that lite beer,snack foods and hardware stores that keeps NASCAR turning left. Even more insidious,this is the all important age group that have kids that would have been the new generation of NASCAR fans....now not to be. So yes, NASCAR is indeed dying Sir.

Actually it was more than 24% in some markets but solely because Danica Patrick was on pole,typically NASCAR struggles to see half of those viewers and viewership is steadily declining so as an investment do you still consider it sound? If it was my money and I wanted to reach an audience that was not totally sold or convinced of my product and my business's integrity I would seek out those people and invest in a growing market and viewership not on the converse. NASCAR is slowly dying and unless the rules change to encompass "Death Race" like mayhem,it will continue to fade....hardly a venue to attract new customers or change minds.

Like you I have never registered my dogs as I see it as just another predatory tax. I take care of all their medical needs and take all precautions to insure their health and well being as a pet owner without my township or county once again delving into my pockets.

Thanks for the update,myself and some neighbors are quite excited to the possibility of having a range so close. I do hope however the business plan is not one akin to some of the ranges that recently opened or in the works where the emphasis is on recouping one's investments in as shortest time as possible leading to exorbitantly priced memberships,range fees,ammo,accessories and firearms.

A clear waste of resources and nothing more than a avenue to sign on more of the already initiated.To make an impact go the route of Red Bull or Tag Heuer and get involved in the X games or some form of extreme sports where the demographic is younger,affluent and forward thinking. I venture maybe 75% of NASCAR fans has a firearm in his/her car,truck or camper and while I don't follow NASCAR,I have yet to hear of some wild shoot out.....as someone already stated the NRA is preaching to the choir.

Most dogs are very adaptable and will learn a new name if there is food being offered.My last dog got kicked out of 3 homes,had 3 names before he was a year old and did not understand English. Had him for 17 years and the little bastard could piss you off in any language.....I really miss him.

Both my wives and myself have been called everything from selfish to blasphemous for not wanting children,but some of those very same people are now jealous of our unfettered lifestyle but that's a topic for another time.I take pains to assure my firearms are secure and out of reach on the rare occasions we do have young visitors to the house. It also puts their parents at ease to enjoy themselves without worrying that their kids may get hold of something potentially hazardous..

Norton antivirus is in essence a virus.

I find that the best way is not to have any..........

I don't shoot often enough to make a range membership worthwhile but when I do go I generally go through 200/250 rounds between .357,.38 and 9mm in about 90 minutes. But I show up with 8 15 round mags and 6 speed loaders already loaded and ready to go so I spend minimal time reloading. The only gun that I own with a low round count is my newly acquired 1979 S&W 27-2 which had less than 200 rounds down the pipe according to the original owner and I've only fired 100 rounds since.

While I tend to agree with your tongue in cheek assessment of the average NJ gun range patron,this is not solely a NJ phenomenon. Log on to Yelp and search gun ranges in Miami or San Antonio. You'll find that whiners transcend state borders.

Also variances approved for an indoor shooting facility in Monroe the middle of last year but no further word on any progress since.

Yep, this is the same model I've been using for about 3 years now. it has stood up amazingly well and carries everything I need for a day at the range and then some.I paid $19.99 for the first and bought a second for $14.99 about a year later.

I always look forward to the Gong and his ability to hit it shooting the damnedest guns.

It's quite alright.....The same responses,following above and beyond the laws,transporting on motorcycles,Evan Nappen,The mythical traffic stop with loaded mags nightmare scenario,The guy at the gun shop et al comes up every single time this subject is raised .We've all been to this dance before and know all the songs.

I see some horsetrading going on behind closed doors.....you pass this bill and I'll consider yours type of thing.

In all fairness I don't believe the OP was attempting to "Tarnish" anyone, the wording as such clearly puts much of the fault on the OP with more of an example to check the specs before everything is filled out and signed.We have already acknowledged that it can happen anywhere and occasionally does. I will concede that the title of the topic may be rather leading.

"Mr Crankypants" thanks for the laugh.......I got to remember that one.I frequently work with folks wearing that brand.
