I'm not a lawyer, but the process shouldn't be any worse for you, either. The security apparatchiks shouldn't even know you have a permit, so they'd have no basis to treat you differently than anyone else planning to check a firearm.

I suspect what's happening is that business owners have never seen anyone on their premises with a firearm, so they feel no need to bother putting up signs. They've certainly never heard of anyone committing a crime with a permitted concealed weapon. Business people need to be smarter than politicians in order to survive, so they're less likely to waste effort responding to a problem that doesn't exist. So, carry on! Sure, Murphy is telling businesses to put up signs, but once they've blindly voted for the D, I don't think most democrats pay much attention to him, either.

I think the process for flying with a checked firearm is unchanged. Your PTC won't grant special privileges of any kind once you enter a transportation hub.

I don't have any suggestions, but I applaud you for testing with 114 rounds of expensive premium ammo. I confess, my own testing with carry ammo hasn't been nearly that extensive. I call it good if I get through a couple of mags with zero failures, and have tested seating a full mag with a round already in chamber, seating a full mag with slide locked open, and feeding the last round in a mag--some of the more common failure scenarios. I should probably go burn some more of the expensive stuff at the range.

Mast bumping. Robinson's use a 'teetering' rotor design, which in some regimes of flight (low-G maneuvers, and I think certain turning maneuvers, though I've no flying experience with helicopters) the rotor disk can tilt so far that it clips the mast. It used to be that the fuel tanks were quite prone to rupture as well, but I think that has been improved in the later models. That's on top of the big laundry list of other things that can go fatally wrong with helicopters. I've always liked the definition that a helicopter is 'a swirling mass of metal fatigue surrounding an oil leak'.

I thought it could be used to make agar, which is useful for all kinds of things...but after looking it up, that is made from a different kind of seaweed. Sargassum can be useful as animal feed; people eat it too, but not in sufficient quantity to make a dent. And as @Fred2 noted, it can be dried and used as fuel.

Usually you have to pay extra for that. I saw a similar thing one night, when standing in a long line of people bused to a hotel by an airline after a flight cancellation. A woman who had been well ahead of me in line came stomping back to the desk saying there was a man asleep in the room she had been given.

That's pretty good, and being Florida, it could have been the man, the alligator, or the dog that pulled the gun.

Wow-thanks @Golf battery for the very generous donation, and thanks @Bklynracer for setting up the auction! I’m pleased the books went to a good home and made such an impact to the cause!

Less than three hours left! Right now, anyone with $55 burning a hole in their pocket can swoop in on these incredible classics!

That's a headline you'd expect to begin with "Florida woman..."

Not so local to you, but I can recommend Greenspan Family Eyecare in Parsippany. I've gone in a couple of times with pistol slides, to have shooting glasses made, and they told me I wasn't the first to do it. Dr Greenspan did my bullseye glasses, which required an astigmatism correction to change the dot from a long-tail comet to a round, sharp circle. While I held up the dot sight, he did everything he could with the machine (phoropter, if you ever need to answer the question on Jeopardy), and then brought out an assortment of hand lenses that he held up in front of the machine to fine-tune additional corrections that were more granular than the machine could do. More recently, I thought it might be time for corrective lenses for iron sight shooting. So I headed in with another pistol slide, and Dr Lizzi ran through the corrections available on the machine while I held up the sights. She even managed to put a bullseye up on the screen as an aiming point. She also then pulled out a set of hand lenses to further refine the prescription for each eye...down to 1/8th of a unit. When I picked up the glasses, the lens guy said he'd never seen that done before. I pick out fairly large frames for shooting glasses, and specify safety glass thickness. They can also do tints. I've got pretty good coverage through VSP insurance, and I think the last visit + glasses only cost about $70.

That's good, but I rather enjoyed this video that came up next. Fight the patriarchy!  Let this feminist husband show you how.

I'm coming from a precision pistol background...police revolver, bullseye and international styles mostly. And I'm also right handed, left eye dominant. It's helpful to keep both eyes open for several reasons, one of which is that if you close one eye, it dilates slightly, and since the eyes are used to working in pairs the open eye will also dilate slightly, which will reduce your visual acuity a little. That doesn't mean you need to have both eyes looking downrange, though, if that is difficult for you. A blinder that lets light through is a common solution. You can buy clip-on translucent binders, but a strip of cellophane tape over the lens of your shooting glasses on the non-shooting eye side works great as well. I use one of those options for precision events. I don't shoot action events nearly as much as Mr. Stu, but when I do I just omit the blinder, so I can better see the target array and when shooting with both hands or weak-hand-only the gun just naturally comes up in front of my dominant left eye anyway. If you are shooting precision events with iron sights, it's essential to keep your focus on the sights, specifically the front sight. Sight alignment errors are much worse than being slightly off target with correctly aligned sights. You can read about angular shift error vs. parallel shift error here: https://www.bullseyepistol.com/chapter2.htm. If you do the math, a 1/100" inch sight alignment error (if a 6" sight radius) is as bad as a 1.5" error in point of aim at a target 25 yards away.

I'd check back with them from time to time, or call and ask to talk to the meat department. I've seen days when the Costco's near me don't have a cut I'm looking for (usually brisket, pork shoulder, or pork belly, for the smoker) but within days they're back in stock.

Costco usually has them, sometimes choice, sometime prime, prices vary quite a bit over time. Sometimes they have very good prices. I picked up a prime brisket there for about $3/lb maybe a year ago. Sam's Club or BJs might be options--I've not been in one for a long time. Costco seems to be a better source of meat, though. Restaurant Depot also has whole (packer) briskets good prices, but it's a little harder to get in, if you don't have a tax-exempt certificate associated with a restaurant or some other food service operation. There are a few exceptions; I belong to the Kansas City Barbecue Society ($45/year) and one of the perqs is that members get access to Restaurant Depot. Restaurant Depot has no membership fee.

I don't know if laminating over a lamination will keep the permit as clearly readable as it is now. There is no requirement that it be laminated. It's probably pretty well protected the way it is, so leaving it alone is an option. Still stupid and/or malicious that the state made them of a size that won't fit in wallets.

I'll give this a bump, as the money raised is going to a very good cause! Thanks @Bklynracer for setting this up. This is a very cool two volume set. The author, James Howe, is that Howe, of Griffin and Howe. There is a lot of gunsmithing lore and history here. Kinda old-school, covering more than just upgrades and repairs to nearly any firearm in circulation back in the day. As I told Bklynracer, if you wanted to build a high-end sporting rifle from a steel ingot and a walnut stump, you could probably do it with the information in these books!

Bump! I'm encouraged by how very few 'no guns' businesses we have in the list so far, but if you see a sign, post it here and I'll move it to the top post to keep the information all in one place. List county, town, business, and any relevant notes about the restriction.
