We have a new member asking about opinions on his first hand gun, a position that I was in not too long ago...... I screwed it up royally not because of any advice I received here but simply because I had yet to identify what I wanted it to do. I wanted a HD gun first and foremost and read all the articles,scanned the videos and checked the prices and availability, then proceeded to ignore all common sense and brought home the red headed step child of the Sig Sauer line... the P250 compact 9mm. Nuff said. I have since purchased 3 more hand guns and realized that I love all steel guns, the weight,accuracy, craftsmanship,permanence and history all appeal to me and make not only myself but my wife better marksmen. I am now in negotiations with a friend to trade the Sig for a sweet S&W and lessons learned. How about you? Still in love with your first,traded up,regrets? We can all learn.

Viking lore and museums are sort of my thing and I have been through dozens from Bergen to Turku and have yet to see a burial helmet,battle helmet with horns. Horns were ceremonial and sacred for drinking not wearing. There was one tapestry depicting a chieftain's burial where a horned helmet was worn but that was the only one.In all honesty,I've worn the helmet but only under the influence of Aquavit and cold beer.

I hear you but I would refer them and yourself to the trailing quote under my posts. I find that while not embraced by some,still an apt description of my posts. Cheers.

I voiced an opinion,you don't agree and I respect that but I didn't set out to "shit on someone's rice" as you so colourfully put it. I can see OC if in Yellowstone,on the trails in bear country as I would need ready access to my firearm to protect myself but in the parking lot opposite the souvenir stand? informing the gentleman CCW'ing about OC? Cross draw holsters on Daisy Dukes doesn't strike you as grandstanding?....... We'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.

I must agree, I don't see the point other than for the obvious "Look at me" narcissists and attention seekers or the overzealous "Use it least we lose it" folks. I would prefer not to stand out until such time that I needed to STAND OUT...

I would go with something discreet. Mine is plain black and looks like a tool bag. I think camo,green or tan might attract the wrong attention from both sides of the law.Nope there were 3 of us in the water at the time and all saw the same thing and marveled at it for years.That fish kept us in gas and beer for 2 weeks.All the inspectors I spoke to claimed that in "The old days" they would have done exactly that but now could only request a tear down if a clear hazard is readily apparent and while I didn't press for details I had the impression that it was state wide.On a side note they all appeared more that a little disappointed that my contractor obtained a copy of the township reno specs and adhered to it.I finished my basement at my previous home without any permits and lived in it for 17 years. No plumbing but a storage space,comfortable man cave,TV room,den, with tiled floors recessed lighting,insulated and sound proofed walls and ceiling and an upgraded box to handle all the electronics. suffice to say it was done right and very comfortable.I then had to get it inspected before I sold it to satisfy the buyers and township and after the paper work and inspections it cost me all of $550.00 for the sign offs. The new owner was assigned another 12% on his taxes for the additional finished living space and was livid. I basically had the benefit of the space for the price of the reno and $550.00 for 17 years...why did you even let them in?I saw a Jew fish[Colossal Grouper} fart once right when it was shot with a pneumatic spear gun, It weighed in at 215 lbs and took 4 of us to get it in the boat.I grew up in the Caribbean and there is no bite like the sand wasp or Jack Spaniard which leaves a 2 inch welt and frequently gives you a 3 day fever.... so bring it on Boss.....and you thought this would be interesting...Why?....Is your cable out by chance?Video not found and I would probably steer clear of any site that has a " Congratulations you have won a $1000.00 Walmart gift card" pop up under it's heading.Christ!I have family over there and my nephews and I correspond regularly about Breivik's case...I guess those Helicopters were for me after all."The department gets divided between the calls and he has fewer cops to deal with at the theater" sounds familiar? I would not be the least bit surprised to eventually read that there were several searches on Norway and Breivik on his laptop.Another excellent letter and regrettably most likely ignored. Ironically Colorado fell almost to the day of the first anniversary of the Oslo shootings yet I hear no Media pundits pointing out the fact that Norway has one of the most stringent and regulated private gun ownership laws in Scandinavia. Yet Breivik was not only able to plan,buy for and execute his clearly demented plan but joined a shooting club with stringent interviews and background checks in order to do so. The point being,firearms are tools and no matter how regulated,reviled or condemned they are, a person hell bent on bloodshed will find a way.Yes, I thought it strange that 1: He didn't know that the assault rifle bill had expired and 2:He called it a "10 round clip".So in retrospect I retract the lucid description.The dog ate mine but luckily I was able to finally retrieve at least some of it....I asked if they still wanted me to relinquish what was left but they declined.As is the case in NJ, every township seem to have their own rules but the popular consensus is to hang on to your old FID until such time you have your new one in hand.Considering some town takes months to accomplish this feat and you need it to purchase ammo, if requested I would just claim it misplaced in the move and conveniently find it when you get your new one.
