Whiskey Reb

I thnk Jimmy would be the embarrassed. Honored but embarrassed.

Wonderful actor and NJ native. RIP James.

Awesome Ant! Are you going to post on line the rental inventory?

Cool, thanks John!

Is GFH/WP still waiting for the license???? Sounds like the judge is still on vaca! lol

I think prepping is useless unless you can protect it. One can have a years worth of food in the basement, but unless you can keep others from getting to it and shooting you and everyone in the house in the bargin its does not help much. I agree the urban setting is the most challenging. People will run out of food in a week to ten days and then will move out of major population centers. One person or family, even a well armed, will have little effect when the gangs go wilding. Thats why I suggested "safety in numbers" and some kind of collective security arrangement. In the end it could be all for naught given the odds, but if (when) the SHTF I would at least like to have a reasonable plan (with others) to confront the risks. Confiscation is always a possibility, especially if the disaster is local. But if [edit] say 30 + states are knocked out by an EMP I am more worried about gangs and thugs than I am about the powers that be sending out national guard (assuming troop trucks have not been disabled, as well as any effective communication system) into every town in NJ and collecting firearms before total chaos rules the day. They will have much more on their plate to worry about. I sure don't like thinking about this, but I would feel just a tad better if I knew I could execute a plan if the worse should happen.

I understand your point. So what do you suggest?

The ability for the government to coordinate a confiscation policy will depend on the extent of the disaster. Again a Katrina example could lead to similar actions. IMO after a full emp society will break down faster than a full federal and state response can be mounted. Many local LE will be looking out for their own families. Besides what's the alternative? Throw up ones arms and say its no use? I rather plan for the worse and take my chances.

I agree in a Katrina scenario that may very well be an issue. But in a full blown out emp attack or other long term grid breakdown I believe confiscation will be the least of our worries.

Downtown, by WTC.

My bet is on EMP. I would rather have an old fashion nuclear exchange. One Second After and lots of recent articles have me thinking about this. But there are indeed a whole range of possibilities from natural to political. Bottom line is safety in numbers: I vote for a NJGF meeting place and setting up a perimeter!! : ) (bring your food stock with you)

I am a little rusty (like 20 years) but I would be into it!

Perhaps this... Although I agree this would not change Cabela's business plan.

I went last night - first time using the range + first time with the PPQ. Everything went great.

That may not even work. Illinois seems to be giving the finger to the high court.

Enjoying Knob Creek as I read this ; )

Illegal Unlawful ? lol

Got the call today!! Submitted on the 27th.

Submitted on the 27th - no word as of yet.

Well as one Scot said about the Laphroaig cask strength - you can either send it to your best friend, or your worse enemy! I am sure most of the peats are along this line. The wonderful thing about scotch (or just single malt) is that there are so many different ones to choose from.

Nice! I have had plenty of cask strength (Laphroaig 10 y/o 55.6% ABV ) But no single barrels as of yet. I am sure Jack's is very sweet. Something to look forward to.

I am Islay guy myself Walt. As for teenage indescretions I have to choose Sambuca on an empty stomach!

Great stuff!

And my point is, spending more than Marker's Mark or Crown does not necessarily make one a snob, whether its scotch bourbon or any other whiskey. I can think of a few more expensive bourbons than MM (which I too happen to enjoy) that offer great taste sensations. But to each his own. Cheers! EDIT: I will submit Bookers! It's a killer bourbon!

The subject was whisky, not just bourbon or Canadian whiskey. And there is huge range of scotch whisky, so there are quite a few "in betweens".
