Either the smartphone or use these two web sites - USA CArry.com and Handgunlaw.us <---- This one more so. According to USA Carry, your three non-resident permits will get you all the states you're looking for *except* - Michigan and Illinois. But check the individual state's laws themselves using Handgunlaw.us

I'm impressed, and curious. How did you sneak a picture like this right in their show room? I'd have thought they'd boot you out of there for that....

Correct. FL issues to non-residents, so that's probably not a good comparison.

Does "Shooters on Target" still hold their "Multi-State" CCW class there? I know that starts at 8:00a on Saturdays, but they don't hit the range until about 1p on that day. They do all the paperwork and fingerprints, etc. in the morning.

For those who may not know, SB-646 is a bill that *should* decriminalize "temporary" or "brief" open displays of a "concealed" firearm. You can read about it on this website. I say "should," because the language is rather convoluted, and there are differences of opinion as to its efficacy, especially when other relevant laws are taken in context with it. But it's certainly better than nothing, And it will be a worthy "next best horse" for Open Carry, which we probably won't get this year, or anytime in the future. We blame the Southern Fl Dems for that, and "The Rodent" up in central Florida. Believe it or not, we here in Florida have our own 2A issues, just like in NJ. Primarily, they arise from all the volume of FL legislators that are, actually *not* from FL, but from.... <drum roll>,,,, NY/NJ. At least, in NJ, you know where the legislators stand, and you know what you're fighting. Unfortunately for us, a lot of the legislators we think are on our side, get voted into high places on the critical committees but then turn on us. Such is the case now with one of the legislators on the above Judiciary committee, Anitre Flores. Classic RINO turncoat. All throughout her career in the FL Senate, she was strongly Pro-2A and worked besides a lot of the NRA reps in FL. Up until early this year, that is. She is term limited and can't serve in the FL Senate after 2018. So her next objective is Mayor of Miami-Dade. And to do that, she needs to adopt an anti-gun stance or she'll never get elected. Thus, she has vowed to stop any/all pro-2A legislation this year. And the problem for us is, she's President Pro-tem of the FL senate and wields a lot of power. Just like last year, we had another GOP senator Sen. Diaz De La Portilla that was chair of the judiciary committee and stopped all pro-2A legislation from getting out of his committee. We have a pro-2A guy in charge of those committees, this year (Sen. Steube), but Sen. Flores can thwart his efforts quite easily. And just like NJ, we face a Gov. election in 2018, and just like NJ there are strong Dem. candidates that are causing us issues. If a Dem gets elected Gov, we can forget about any new pro-2A legislation. Anyway, I know it seems silly to ask help of folks that don't even have the right to carry at all. But any help to influence our Senate to pass these bills will be greatly appreciated. We in FL have to stay twice as vigilant because there are forces here that smell blood and would love to turn it into a totally blue/anti paradise. Thanks!

OK, but can they (LEO) also start seizing/confiscating weapons, and placing the name on FBI NICS at that point without court due process?

Can you point me towards the Florida Statute (or regulation) that covers this? I want to review it. And, by this, I mean the specific language that says "A LEO in FL can have you short termed committed, etc..." I'm reviewing FS 394.xxx now, but I want to see if there are any due process rights of the "committed" person before the firearms are seized. Thanks!

I know that Targetmaster in Chadds Ford, PA has the "no cell/smart phone" policy as well. When I asked why, I was told, "we don't want anyone taking pictures of the inventory that's on display."

Not now, there aren't. But there are some historical recipes from the 1880's where a raw egg was included.

Well, I have heard of regulations that, for example, prohibit the "egg" in an "egg cream" drink, for similar reasons... Then again, those would be totally raw eggs.

I have Ooma as well. You have two options - a "regular" service and a "Premium" service. The "regular" service I believe is in the $11-13ish a month range. With the premium service, you make one annual payment of around $130.00, and then all you pay is something like $4-5 per month to cover the taxes on the service (so they say). The premium service includes a lot more features, and unlimited calling to the US, Mex, Canada, etc. etc, and some incredibly low rates to foreign countries (i.e. something like .06/min to most of Europe).

Do you recall the objective in passing this law? Was it a prank law or something? Or, did that have a "nanny state" objective attached to it?

I use SimpliSafe. $24.95/mo for their executive monitoring system. But make sure you have good cellular coverage in your area. I think there might be a thread or two about it rolling around here.

Oh, there's worse stuff than this. ISIS is publishing execution videos, etc. There's even one where it appears that a bunch of teen and pre-teen kids are roaming an abandoned amusement park with AK's, knives, etc., in search of "targets." The kids find the "condemned" ISIS prisoners, and *appear* to execute them. The videos are very carefully edited, though, such that you can't really tell if it's the kid actually firing the kill shots (or wielding the knife) or someone else. Another shows the kids attempting to clear an abandoned building and finding more "targets" therein. Same very careful editing... Nonetheless, the targets were all clearly alive, but not so after the video ends... And these are the savages the "snowflakes" want to allow into our country??? Not on my watch!

Same here. Where did you settle in FL?

To be honest, I'm not terribly keen on spaying/neutering in general... certainly not any dog that's part of a family (and under its control). If there is a medical need for it, or if will help resolve a behavioral issue, that's one thing. But my understanding is that spaying a female is more important than neutering a male when it comes to overall physical/hormonal health. Baring any medical issue, I would want to not alter or have it altered simply because I visit a "pro-alter" vet. There are a ton of them out there that spay/neuter everything that comes in the door. Not my dog! I can see where spaying/neutering might be of benefit for stray/feral populations, but for a family dog that says under control of the family, I'm not really fond of it.

The bill sponsors are...... <drum roll>..... Sen. Stephen Sweeney & Sen. Nilsa Cruz-Perez

I was wondering how this might affect both "professional" and BYB type breeders. And for libertarian reasons, while I would not want to "mandate" microchips as well, I do think everyone should do it. It's easy and it solves a lot of problems.

In re: our discussion of dogs, I found this from a different forum I frequent... ============== New Jersey passed S2847 which calls for MANDATORY SPAY/NEUTER OF ALL DOGS AND CATS OVER 8 WEEKS OLD. •PLEASE CALL GOVERNOR CHRISTIE and ask that he VETO S2847!! Call: 609-777-2500 (business office hours only) •TWEET GOV CHRISTIE: @GovChristie New Jersey S2847 | 2016-2017 | Regular Session

Understood. It just looked like a dobermann, but I see now that it's significantly smaller. Certainly so than the dobies we had as a family.

That's not a Dobberman? Looks like one...

So sorry for your loss.

Would it matter, though? That is, if it was Cabela's that sought the merger and they're told they can't for monopoly reasons, what alternative would they have but to shut down (if they can't sustain themselves), yielding a monopoly anyway??? If Cabela's can thrive on their own (and I hope they can and do), then they wouldn't need to merge. But I'm gathering that Cabela's sought it... that it wasn't a "hostile takeover..." But I could be wrong...

FWIW, I now carry the P320SC as EDC. I like it, much. Although, I gather this has more to do with politics and $$$ (as in, who gets the contract). I can't believe it's a "Buy American" thing since both companies are foreign firms and both have a US HQ location.

Well, I tried that when I was there.... Glad you all had a good day!
