Not looking to buy roof panels, at least not just yet.

I've already read that, a long time ago, I've read volumes on the subject. What I'm looking for here is actual first hand experiences with everything from roof panels to briefcase chargers, what is junk and what is worth the trouble. I want to know what one can do with a 1.5W panel, how long does it really take to charge a battery, has anyone used solar for camping, things like that.

Talk to me about solar panels. I'm curious to hear about some real life experiences with different kinds of panels and storage. Everything from off grid, to charging a portable battery when camping. I think I'm gonna buy a solar battery bank, just to have because it seems handy, but I'm really tempted to buy a couple car batteries and a couple panels just to mess with.

It is part of some temporary countermeasures to deal with attacks.

What do you mean by destructive device? Every shotgun over 410 is larger than .50. Does that mean everything 28Ga and up is classified as a DD?

A $50 Lesson: Recently, while I was working in the flower beds in my front yard, my neighbors stopped to chat as they returned home from walking their dog. During our friendly conversation, I asked their little girl what she wanted to be when she grew up. She said she wanted to be President someday. Both of her parents, Democratic Party members, were standing there so I asked her, "If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?" She replied, "I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people." Her parents beamed with pride! "Wow...what a worthy goal! I said "But you don't have to wait until you're President to do that!" "What do you mean?" she replied. So, I told her, "You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and trim my hedge, and I'll pay you $50. Then you can go over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house." She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and said, "It doesn't seem fair that I do all the work and give him the money. Why doesn't the homeless guy just come over and do the work, and you can pay him the $50?" I said, "Welcome to the Republican Party." Her parents aren't speaking to me anymore.

Your new nickname is AUGie Doggie.

You do you bruh. Let us know how it works out for ya after you put them coppers in their place.

Open carry is stupid, that is, unless you are a cop or at a redneck BBQ, then it's cool. Apparently BBQ guns are a thing out west. Advertising that one is packing heat is inviting trouble, it can only be interpreted as attention seeking behavior. What would be the point, other than to intentionally upset people and looking for confrontation of some sort. Makes me think that the carrier has a gunslinger complex and probably didn't get enough attention from mommy and daddy. Kinda pathetic. Be happy that concealed carry is now available to law abiding folks, don't fuck it up for everyone else because you want to make an unnecessary statement.

Welcome to New Jersey, where everything is expressly forbidden, unless it is expressly permitted by a narrow carve out . Living under the thumb of dems is such a joy.

Ison said the Greenwood Police Department has trained for a mass shooting scenario and has performed "multiple mall exercises" to prepare for active shooter situations. "But I'm going to tell you, the real hero of the day is the citizen that was lawfully carrying a firearm in that food court and was able to stop this shooter almost as soon as he began," Ison said. I'm surprised CNN included that quote. Headline scanners that don't bother to read the full story will never see it, but good on CNN for even including it.

<Archer> I had something for this, something something mutual qualification, something.

Whew! I'm in the clear then, as long as they don't know the smell of G96. It would be fun to mess with them though, a little Hoppe's on the wrists or fondle a bucket of spent brass before heading there.

There is absolutely no reason for this. If something happened in a two year period that would disqualify a permit holder, there guns would have already, or should already have been confiscated. The two year renewal is a reminder that you are under the thumb of progressive democrats keeping citizens on a short leash.
