Solution: Drill your own well. We drilled several irrigation wells on our farm when I was growing up using one of these.

Get on the radio and in the paper and mention the date of the next council meeting. Fill the building with people waiting in line to speak. Make sure every person there mentions that they will be remembering the council members in the next election. Run your own campaign on a platform of repealing the sewer tax.

Interesting that the town held off sending bills until after the election. I'm guessing your town council is hoping everyone will forget by the next election. Get a bunch of neighbors together and rent a billboard listing the council members who voted for this. Any way to do a recall in your town? A couple of dozen people calling the town clerk to inquire about the recall process might make the council nervous enough to change something. But no matter what you do, somebody's going to get screwed. The town has obviously spent beyond it's means and needs more money. They'll find a way to get it out of some group of residents even if it isn't you.

This article explains it better than I could. http://www.corrosion-doctors.org/Definitions/galvanic-series.htm

Google "galvanic chart". You'll get charts that show where various metals fall on the scale from "cathodic" to "anodic". Metals that are close on the chart or overlap will not corrode each other. The further metals are apart on the chart, the more quickly they corrode.

"UPS delivers semi-auto rifle instead of toy for Christmas gift" How are these two things mutually exclusive?

Yesterday, I got an H&R Topper Jr. in 20ga in very good shape. Picked up a couple of trinkets. No crowds at all on Friday from opening until about 3:00. There were people everywhere but the aisles were easy to navigate. Didn't feel like cattle being herded. The vendors also had time to talk with customers on Friday. I''m guessing today is crowded.

Hoping to get there Friday. I figure the weekend will be so swamped with people it won't be worth it. Hoping everybody else has to work Friday. I've never been to the Christmas show - I hate crowds.

Ole Bull in PA. Great place to camp. Nice showers/rest rooms. Beautiful area. Tent or RV. Nice swimming and fishing spots. Worth the drive.

Even if the guy was following the rules, he needs to realize when the rules aren't working. After a half dozen people ended up in the ditch, he should have packed it up until the weather was nicer. Even if the people who ran off the road were going too fast and the Comcast guy was "right", it's better to not put people in harms way than to be indignantly right.

My secretary looked into several for her daughter. All had a guarantee - if you didn't increase by X points, you could take the class again for free. Not much of a guarantee. But she picked one and her daughter got almost exactly the same score. She never bothered to claim the free class - I think that's what the school's depend on y. I don't think it's something you can study for. Just my opinion.

The amazing thing is that the shell casing was sitting outside the chamber and the chamber was closed. It seems that the Glock cycled when it fired.

I remember when 1,500, maybe 2,000 of us showed up in Trenton, filled two huge meeting rooms, with hundreds standing outside. Dozens of us spoke against a series of anti-gun bills. 20 or so people were driven in on a bus from out of state, given reserved seating, and allowed to speak first. One person was escorted out for reminding the committee chair that this was the people's meeting, not his meeting. Those who loved the constitution outnumbered those who hated it 100 to 1. The committee still voted in favor of all 21 anti-gun measures. The next committee hearing, there weren't enough votes to pass the bills so the vote was stopped mid-vote - against their own rules. The vote was done at a later date when the deck was stacked more solidly against us. I don't believe for a second that they are willing to delay the vote to hear what we have to say. Either they're waiting for a change in governors or they're going to put this up for a vote at the last minute unannounced, so we can't be there.

Received mine over the weekend. Good quality for under $10.

You know you've got us all wondering.

I bought a couple of guns there but have no loyalty or interest in the shop other than that. But...remember that we only have one side of the story right now.

About $60 less than the Cabela's price. Add the NJ transfer fee and you can get one for nearly the same price in PA. Plus you get a trip to Cabelas.

Sounds like Black Friday is out. I am going to try to do an internet order and see if I can get the discount - maybe even at midnight. I'll report back on my success.

I'm not a Black Friday shopper. In fact, I'm not any kind of shopper. But, Cabela's has a shotgun I've been interested in at a really nice discount on Black Friday. If I can show up at 5:00am, walk to the gun counter and make my purchase - I'm there. If I have to get there 2 days ahead, camp on the sidewalk, charge to the gun counter with 2,000 other people to find out they only had 2 of the advertised gun in stock and it's now gone - I'm out. Anybody have real boots-on-the-ground experience with this? Should I attempt it or just stay home? Thanks in advance for any info.

I sent in a Remington Rebate form with the required UPC symbols on a deal they had for 12ga slugs a few years ago. I never heard anything from them, never got a check. I've heard others say that they got screwed on the rebates too. I won't buy Remington stuff expecting a rebate any more. I've got a bunch of boxes of Remington slugs with the UPC codes cut out of the cardboard.

.22lr, .22mag, .380, .9mm, .45lc. I see nothing wrong with buying all the same caliber. The guns I happened to like were different calibers but if I liked guns that all came in 9mm, I see no problem.

I don't know if they're competitive on price but Grainger has excellent customer service and a generous return policy.

My ammo has outgrown my ammo cans so I ordered two. Thanks for the heads up.

No. no. no. no. Every LEO I know is pro gun and pro 2A. But...it just takes one who isn't for you to end up arrested. There is no exemption to the "possession is illegal" rule that lets you bring a gun to your local police department.

There is no state law preventing shooting on your own property. There may be a local discharge ordinance. I'm in the middle of nowhere too and shoot in my back yard all the time.
