10X

If the rednecks want to keep running around waving the flag and commemorating a grim chapter of American history, well, that's still protected speech. I don't favor banning the flag. It is long past time to remove it from government buildings, however. I have nothing but disdain for elected officials who: 1) Willfully antagonize a significant portion of their constituents, just because they can, and, 2) Want to pretend that it's still 1865. The first is just wrong (and I'm looking at you, too, Sweeney). The second is just sad.

Yes, but so is using a bipod.

Weather was fine--much better than forecast. It may have kept the attendance down; things moved along at a pretty good pace.

Howard, Brucin, Sorry I didn't make the connection--I would have said 'Hi'. It seems the forum was well-represented. The match was a lot of fun. Looking forward to next year. http://imageshack.com/a/img540/8482/Kulylj.jpg http://imageshack.com/a/img537/9293/2oNEVS.jpg (I cant' seem to embed images. And yes, I'll admit that the 10 shot group shown, from the 7 yard stage of the 'gangsta' event, opened up considerably when I moved back to 50 feet in the left-hand-only stage.)

Lemmings?

It was clearly both.

:-). :-) :-) Well played, sir!

It got some national coverage here: http://doonesbury.washingtonpost.com/strip/archive/2015/6/14

I'll be there. It was a lot of fun last year. The interesting thing was, as dumb as gangsta style (match 17) is as a shooting style, it proved to be much, much more accurate than the FBI crouch shot as the first stage of every other event!

Um...insurance companies lose money when they pay for prescriptions. You've got them on the wrong side of the conspiracy theory.

The little guy ran through our yard (in Boonton) this morning, with the local cops in pursuit; using some kind of noisemakers to move him to somewhere less residential, and more wooded, which is to say to our property.

You can walk around Independence Square, Penn's Landing, Elfreths Alley at night and they are still interesting. I've not been there in a number of years, so I don't know if it's still a safe area after dark.

You know the doctors get kick-backs for prescribing these pills? So I don't think he needs them, the doctors just said, 'here this is a prescription for whatever and take this.' Not so much; since 2013, anything over $10 to the doctor is reported, and there aren't a whole lot of antidepressants, long generic, that aren't available at Walmart for $4/month. There is not enough money in that part of the system to justify much effort to bend the rules. I'd imagine there will be some hoops to jump through for your friend to get a permit, but I don't know what they are. It's entirely possible that he shouldn't be in this position, but once a person has a psych ward commitment in their past, there should be a few hoops to jump through.

Nope. Not legal, even in Texas. :-)

It'll only last maybe 50-75 years or more if not vacuum sealed, so if you think that's not long enough, I guess you could go to the extra time and trouble to vacuum pack. It doesn't matter if there is air/oxygen in the case or not...that's not what the gunpowder is using for an oxidizer.

I've heard Montville is quite good. Boonton not so much, not awful, but 30-60 days; it's hard to get a hold of the one detective responsible for the permits.

A sunset is a beautiful thing, assuming you are far away from ugly buildings and the din of traffic.

I'm just paranoid enough to suggest that Glockamole not answer that in a public forum...

Fortunately, taking them from the apartment to the range is legal. As is taking them from the range to the house. Just sayin'... Much easier than taking them to the range in PA. And then stopping off at a Pennsylvania post office before returning home.

Somebody isn't getting a Christmas bonus this year...

Six months ago the top end was a $299,000 Perazzii set with barrels in 4 gauges. What impressed me most was that guns up to $99,000 were out in racks on the showroom floor for anyone to pick up and handle. only what they considered the 'expensive' guns were in cabinets; you had to ask to see those. No one asked to see an FID, either!

While I recognize the trend to put a rail on everything, including the family poodle, I think it would just look wrong on a Mauser. I think Usnmars is setting you on the right track.

Assuming you used to live with your Dad in PA at some point in your life, are you sure he didn't give them to you then? I mean, maybe they are already yours...

Burn rate is even slower than Hodgdon 50 BMG. Also doesn't meter worth a damn.

They're out there: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=find+full+service+gas+stations+in+pennsylvania Siri does a good job of finding them, too. My wife probably drives more miles out of state than in state, and in the finest Jersey Girl Tradition, has never failed to find full service regardless of the state. Me--I don't look for it. Self serve will always be significantly cheaper and faster. I only use full service when I'm forced to, by a nanny state that doesn't believe consumers deserve a choice and that most of its citizens can't be trusted with something as dangerous as a gas nozzle.
