In case you didn't notice, as of 1/1/2017 the new ATF 4473 is in place. The Warning in Section 11.e reminds you that if you use marijuana in your state legally you are still an unlawful user federally. The implication is that you must answer Yes, and disqualify yourself from buying a firearm. Curiously, the Notices, Instructions and Definitions section omits any mention of 11.e. No effect here in New Jermany, but our buzzed brothers in the marijuana-legal states have an issue. If anyone cares to notice.

If the female in question is also from the Phillipsburg area, you may want to check out Pocono Pistol in Stroudsburg. They run women's classes and events frequently. I should be there next week. If I remember I'll dig up some info. I don't know anyone who has taken these specifically. I do know it's a women's group similar to SAW. Pocono Pistol should be much closer for you than GFH. See the Ladies Night description. Private lessons are also available.

Phosphoric night sights and three mags. 6, 7 and 8 rounds. Walther PPS M2

Yes. We like it, and we both shot it pretty well.

I guess we'll wait until, without a keyword being spoken, Alexa asks: "Are you plotting the overthrow of the government?".

Even after watching all those overnight commercials? Maybe we have to buy some of those products?

Try reading a stationary license plate with said camera at said distance. Then decide what you need. If someone parks in front of the house, comes in and rips you off, and your camera could see the license plate but you can't read it, you won't be happy. These days 4MP is the way to go. Facial recognition is not that great with 720P either.

Just take note of this. You the seller are the one who's responsible to send the buyer's permit copies to the correct recipients.

Well, I didn't know that for one. So I see a His and Hers pair of these in our future. Thanx BH!

We have His and Hers. No problem.

It's been introduced. Day one.

That seems to be the range discussed, depending on particulars. Now I need to meet up with my PA friend and go over the pistol. Apparently there may be markings on the slide and/or barrel that are relevant. Also I need to clean the pistol thoroughly and lube it. It's been a long time since it had attention. Then I could take some pictures to post up. I believe other than the broken thumb safety the entire pistol is original. And with serial 197xxx it's really early on.

Too late. I've already been on the forum. Nice try though.

An excellent idea. I will. Thanks!

I'm doing homework for a friend of mine. I'm not a 1911 aficionado, so forming my opinion needs some help. He has a Colt 1911 passed down through his family. A serial number lookup on the Colt database says it was manufactured in 1917. I'm pretty sure it saw action in WWI. The slide and frame engravings are: Colts PT F.A. Mfg. Co. Hartford CT U.S.A. Pat. April 20,1897 September 9, 1902 December 19, 1905 February 14, 1911 August 19, 1913 Model of 1911 U.S. Army Serial #: Under 200000 The pistol has seen some obvious use and hasn't been cleaned and oiled in some time. But there's no rust or corrosion and for a 100 year old pistol it's condition seems pretty good. The thumb safety was broken at some point and will have to be replaced. Nothing in the pistol's word-of-mouth history suggests it participated in anything special. (Like being in Black Jack Pershing's holster at some point.) I'd be interested in opinions. Is this a run-of-the-mill gun that's interesting to have but not of any significant value, or is it something that bears further investigation?

In my Fortune 500 IT career one of my particular quotes was "there's no substitute for knowing what's on the wire". Maybe I should have applied to the NSA. Well, not. My IQ is not that high. LOL!

Here's another autopsy. $20M down the drain.

Last week on Fox & Friends one of the hosts was shouting out "Alexa... play Wham's 'Last Christmas'". Just to see how much of the country he could get singing along. Whether they wanted to or not.

Interesting comments and insights. When I want to know what traffic is on a network I use a 'sniffer' of some sort. I'd be interested if anyone has done that with the Echo or similar product. Specifically, I'd want to see if there was a live continuous stream of my sent audio being sent to the mother ship. For those of you who think such concerns are tin foil material, I suggest you watch The Lives Of Others and imagine the Stasi in control of such devices. Are we close to that here? No. But the foundation has been laid. With no sign of abatement. I don't have one of these and won't get one, so I'm not in the ring on this one.

While watching some of the pre-Christmas commercials I of course saw the ads for the Amazon Echo and other competing products. As I told my wife after one of them, it suddenly dawned on me. If these boxes are ready to respond to your voice commands, that means they are always listening. They are also connected to the Internet. So what is happening to ALL of the conversation these boxes overhear? Now Arkansas police conducting a murder investigation want to know. I find it fascinating that Amazon won't say how it handles all the audio it intercepts. Moreover, the audio belongs to Amazon, not the Echo's owner. Further, how about if your Echo is hacked? Could the audio be intercepted and used by a third party against you? Since it's digitized and traverses the Internet, you can be sure the NSA has it. Keep all of this in mind if you consider getting one.

I thought you might get a laugh out of it, as well as others.

No, not our Vlad Tepes. He would be unmasking the porous NJ-PA border where progressives flow freely from NJ to the rest of the Free States. I'm not sure where this Vlad Tepes is resident. But he makes his point, less than a week after the latest debacle. As you can tell, I'm having a quiet Christmas. But now I must cook brunch. P.S. Merry Christmas PA Vlad.
