dougd60, consider this: i have nothing against bobs little sport shop, its where i bought my first gun. but don't forget that they make you buy their ammo when you shoot there. and they charge by the hour. now, i haven't been to usana yet but it sounds like an awesome place. i can't believe i hadn't heard of it until just this past week. and yes i was told they do have an indoor range. personally i am going to look into getting a membership soon as i get the time to make it to a meeting.

WELL SAID!!

i know nobody here WANTS to have to take the life of another in self defense. if it must be done then yes, but THIS woman.. to me.. she just sounds vengeful about it. anyone else here get that vibe?

here is my .2 i've said it before and i'll say it again: if you have nothing to hide, who cares if they know who you are? i would rather have a short conversation with an officer and explain what i was doing and why i was doing it and why it was legal then go through all that BS. if some idiot gets scared of your gun, wouldn't it be a whole lot better for all of us (and a lot more hilarious) if you just had a nice polite talk with the officer and then he sent you on your way still carrying your guns? what if that idiot who got scared saw that after they called? what if they saw some prick give the cops a hard time? this is my opinion, i know there are people on this board who disagree but hopefully we can all be mature enough to stick together in the times that we are in. the taking the guns from him thing i am not cool with however. yes, i know it makes the officers nervous, but it is his right. it just doesn't make sense to me to make him put them down to talk... does that mean (in an open carry state) that everyone who open carries has to put their gun down on the side walk when a police cruiser drives by? or if your at the convenience store and there is an officer there buying his coffee for the morning? i have NOTHING against cops AT ALL, i've treated every one i've encountered with great respect but if the law allows me to carry my firearm i would prefer it be ME that carries it.

The transaction went smooth as could be. Real nice guy and also was helpful and informative to a new shooter (me). I would definitely do business with him again.

lets not forget their fully automatic capabilities as well. but the government won't care about this either way.

i am not surprised, sadly. looks like the registration requirement of grandfathered items has been removed though, anyone else see it?

done on the two that i hadn't signed already

agreed. smoking a joint is no different from drinking a beer (or a 6 pack). its as much of an infringement as taking the guns. don't get me wrong, i'm not some hippie or anything but being against weed is just like being against guns. now seriously harmful drugs are a different story, but lets not change the topic here too much. CO will not stand for this. my cousin used to live there (she now lives in the greatest state in this (once) great nation, wyoming) and the people there are nice and conservative minus the denver and colorado springs areas.

the children wrote that we should ban guns, they must be right. why don't we just elect a child for our next president????

this gets more and more frightening every day.

that sounds like an excellent idea. i try to see it from their side but sometimes i just want to pull my hair out, as i'm sure they feel the same about us.

are you still in the industry? i don't mean disrespect by that, just an honest question. i've been in three dealerships since i started this and out of the 60 or 70 techs i've worked with only ONE made 6 figures. people at my place now USED to make that kind of money, but cars are more reliable now, people are buying less upsells etc etc. every service manager a dick, every service writer an idiot (typical tech bitching i know, but it is true from my standpoint). i have yet to work in a dealership where the technicians are treated fairly. i have tried to find new work, in several places. the jobs aren't there man. may i ask where you worked?

you basically described the dealership i work at. to. a. T. unfortunately, yes most of the other dealers in the area are paying similar (albeit SLIGHTLY higher) rates. also unfortunately, there is no one else hiring right now. i could go work at a fast food joint and make more yeah, but no oppurtunity to move up. our owner was very "hurt" and had a big "wake up call" when we unionized. promised to be around more often. we didnt see him until it was time for him to try and decert us. our service manager also has a "stack of applications this thick" of people wanting to get in there if "you don't like it". i doubt everyone quitting would have an effect on their attitudes. they already claim to pay well to "attract talent".

for anyone who believes a union members dues always go to politics, please know this: my shop is currently in a union battle and the first thing i'm going to to once i get a contract is sign their form that says "i do not want my dues to go to political causes" maybe that won't matter to them but i'll know my conscience will be clear. i also understand that unions have hurt a lot of non union businesses, and i don't agree with the state unions such as here in NJ. my mother in law is/was a teacher. shes collecting social security, disability, still working as a substitute teacher and gets her pension. pays something like 1.5 percent of her pay for health insurance and bitches about it. here is my situation: i work in a shop that pays me 9 dollars an hour to do basic service work. my department does about 100 cars a day (yes, one hundred). i have been to school for this and have about 5 years exp in the field. no raise in the 3.5 years i've been there. if i had the family health insurance through them and capped the global deductable it uses (6000 before it covers ANYTHING) i would make only 5000 per year BEFORE taxes. it was time for a union so we brought one in. but i won't vote for someone who will threaten my 2A rights, ever. period. and yes, they say the inflatable rat will be here soon lol.

also shared on facebook. this needs to go viral, if you refresh the page you can see the update number of people and it goes up every time no matter how fast you click

excellent! done and will do again, and get my wife to, and brother, mom, dad sister etc. very good find

anyone catch the part about 'violent movies and video games'? now hear me out, because i'm not just here to make a case for games and movies... but even california ruled that video games are an ART FORM and therefore should not be censored. this is just one example of how all american rights are erroding and dissapearing quickly. obama has a very real potential to be the worst thing to happen to this country and what it stands (stood) for and i CRINGE when i think about all the people out there who voted for him and even agree with what he does and says. i shudder for the future in america...

that will never pass, chicago already tried to have an outright ban on handguns and it was shot down in the supreme court. all the BS this countries politicians are trying to pull is really starting to make me sick though...

beautiful! someone with sense!

i agree... the chain of events this week, starting with the tragedy on friday, really bummed me out and ruined my whole week. but now my week is over and its time to take a breath as you said. i hope everyone enjoys their Christmas i am going to do the best i can to enjoy mine.

i'm moving within (hopefully) 5 years. likely to delaware but who knows, i have family in wyoming and its great out there. gun laws are a big factor but the fact that i could NEVER afford a home in NJ is really whats driving it. i simply refuse to pay the property taxes when i can go right accross the river and pay 20% or less of what they are here.

me with the church band at the county fair this august. wife got an awesome action shot of me.... tuning my guitar lol i've had that les paul for over 8 years, many of those years it was my only guitar and it is currently my only electric. choosing between buying a new gun and a new guitar is very VERY difficult. heres another one, we were a roudy bunch. thats my drum kit in the back too. on the right are my mom and sister on flutes and my brother on the tuba.

you are correct, and maybe i went a little on the extreme with my explanation, but only for the sake of making a valid point. i do agree with you though.
