As many of you know I just lost a dog, and with him a lot of money in vet bills. We just added a new puppy and I was wondering if health insurance is worth buying, from whom and does it make sense. From what I can tell the well care stuff is not worth it as it is more a health savings account with maybe a 10-15% savings but if you don't use it you lose it. The illness and accident, well maybe but I would like to hear comments. The two companies I was advised to look at (by the Vet) well Embrace and Trupanion. The Vet seems to have a preference for Trupanion but we met someone in the waiting room that raved about Embrace. Any other good ones to consider. Thanks.

While you are correct about proving where you live to get a driver's license, that is where it ends. There are thousands if no tens of thousands of people in the state that no longer live at the address on their driver's license and fail to get them changed. I think the theory that they want to see a current utility bill is valid as you would unlikely be paying a utility bill for an address you no longer live at. The random drive-by is probably a good method too.

I don't agree that proving you live in the town is an issue. You realize that stance is the same the left is taking with voting, that you should just be able to go and vote and not prove who you are or if you really live there. The local police provide a service for the residents and should be able to have you prove you are a resident of the town before they provide the service. Once you have proven that then I agree they should not be able to ask anything except what state law requires, but they have a right to only provide the service to lawful residents of the town.

When I applied for my initial FID in Randolph they wanted proof that I lived in town. That seems reasonable since they only are allowed to charge $5, it costs them more to process than they take in. They asked me for a utility bill. The woman was very nice when I explained I did not have any with me since it did not say anything about it on the web. I said I would go to my car and see what if any papers I had. I came back with my insurance ID card which has my address and she said that would be fine. Really was not an issue.

I guess they were really slammed, but it is worth the wait - good ammo. I had ordered mine on the 4th right before I posted this. It shipped out the 7th and UPS had a problem but it arrived on the 16th. I only wished I had ordered more. Sorry you guys have had to wait, but you will be pleased when it arrives.

VERY GOOD POINT!!!! I don't even understand the concept of OGAM. I can almost understand a waiting period to buy a gun so a person does not buy one in the heat of anger - but that only applies in a Free State. In NJ in the heat of anger you would need to get an FID and a P2P - the heat of anger would pass. But the bigger issue is if you already have one gun, how does OGAM do anything at all. Would you really need that second gun to do something bad - remember you already have the first one. I guess the Idiots in the hell hole of Trenton just don't get that.

That is a very interesting question. I am sure there are more words to the rule than what Bob has posted here, but if not I have a questions. I read that saying that a given dealer shall not deliver more than one gun in a 30 day to a given person, it seems to say nothing about a second dealer selling a gun to said person on day two through day 29. Unless there are more words it would seem you can buy as many as you want in the period as long as you don't buy more than one from any dealer. I am sure there are words that kill that, but that is how I read what is posted.

Buy as much as you want. Most places will require a PDF copy of your FID but not all. Where are you finding good prices?

Doing the right thing and helping someone that falls down is one thing, spending hours or days in court at your economic loss is another. No one (well not me at least) is saying that you should be rewarded for being a witness. What is being said is that you should not be harmed financially for helping out. That means that any lost wages and direct expenses should be paid so that you come out no better and no worse for being a good guy. Why should you be forced to lose one or maybe more days pay plus direct expenses just because your were in the right or wrong place at the time and happened to see something.

Another solution I have seen mentioned on various web sites is to abandon the "AA" batteries entirely. Get a large lead acid type battery of the correct voltage and wire in place of the "AA" batteries, it will last for years. You can probably find them online or at the home depot. These are the type you use for backup in a UPS or for an alarm system.

Pictures of your Sasha please!!!!

You have me all wrong, I believe in it all, I just saying the way it is we are losing everything in it. Heck it seems like we don't have three branches of government anymore except on paper. Why is it the congress lets the POTUS get away with the crap he does.

Nah we have thrown the 6th out, you can now get speeding tickets and tickets for running red lights with your accuser being a camera and you have no right to cross examine a witness. The constitution is only used any more to fold up and place under a table leg to stabilize it

Bob you are so confused. The only time I was ever alpha was for a short time after I graduated from college and had my own apartment. Then I got married and was not longer alpha. Then came two kids and three dogs and I was down to number 7! The kids have grown up and are on there own, and for a brief time we were down to only one dog - which means I moved up to number three! That did not last long, and I am back to being number four

The price tag is on your time and your expenses, not your integrity. The person suing or being sued wants your input to either collect money or prevent from having to pay money - they are doing it for the money. Why should you give up your time and incur expenses so that they can collect money. We are talking about fairness, you are effectively working for them and should be compensated.

What? They won't make you whole? Memorize this. "I have no recollection of the events of that day"

First I would like to thank everyone that shared their well wishes on the loss of my dog Trent - it was greatly appreciated!!!! Roxy (the three year old Husky) and my wife did not take the loss well and decided that we needed a playmate for Roxy. So, Saturday we drove out to a breeder in Wilkes Barre PA and go Sasha Alexandra who is 13 weeks old. The breeder had sold the other five pups at 8 weeks and wanted to keep this one, but her husband decided he did not want another dog. Her loss is our gain. Lots of picture at this link:

I found this on the net and thought I would share here for anyone that might like a bunch of printable targets. I think there are about 180 different ones. Happy shooting! * Most target are PDF * 180 targets in total * Download size is 16.5 mb's Code:Select all http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1057699/Targets.zip

Because I am not that fast, but I am generally very accurate. Thus, I can get my hits better with my CZ75B shooting 9mm and if I get almost all alphas with the 9mm going to major doesn't really help me. I will see if that still hold with my G35 which I do shoot better than the G22.

Interesting. So does that mean I could shoot it in limited 10 minor with the conversion barrel? I understand I can't shoot it in production as the barrel is not an oem barrel.

I was told when I first started shooting that I could not use my 9mm KKM conversion barrel in my Glock G22 for USPSA.

Yes ordered during Free Shipping. Just took my dog out and found that UPS did a dump and run even though I was home. Never rang the doorbell but I just found three heavy boxes sitting outside by the garage

I got notification last week that it would be delivered yesterday. The next day I got some cryptic notification from UPS that they had a trailer problem and had to reschedule another trailer and I would get notification of an update. I got that on Saturday and it is supposed to arrive today.

Freedom has the FPS specs on their site and that ammo is fine as far as I recall.

Thanks, but they consider us unsuitable parents for a Husky - yes I am serious. Before we bought our last puppy we figured we would help out a homeless dog. We filled out their crazy application and had two people come to our home for an inspection. They failed us because we have an electric pet containment system. They once placed a dog in a home with one and the dog got out and was killed so they won't place another dog to anyone with one. Did not matter that we already had three and they never get out and are free to be outside in the fresh air as much as they want. Does not matter that with a real fence someone can leave a gate open and the dog is gone. Just stupid, but thanks for your thinking of me.
