Of course you have an issue. As a good, koolaid drinking Liberal, you feel the Constitution is a living, breathing document that should change with the direction of the wind, or whatever way the SJW want it to. But you do need a membership if you respect the 2nd Amendment... which apparently you don't.

but usually broke with no money..

That's what I was thinking too, unless Max charges him too much for the edit.

You know, I was kinda wondering about those choices too, and the SCAR, for a newbie????? Nice touch with the addition of the teddy bear blanket!

I second that, a 10/22 is one of the best investments and a great place to start. Don't play if you can't pay.

So, why not just replace the battery for $10, then wait and see what new model you want in the future?

OK, Bird Box. Wifey and I watched it last night, just a hint, even she said it was a little... "strange"....

That's what I was wondering too.. If it was Bird Box, we just watched it tonight. After reading some of the posts in this thread, are you guys talking about two different movies. @Zeke, which one?

OK, what would you suggest for a relative newbie to HAM to crawl before he walked and get an understanding of it? Like I mentioned above, I have experience with other 2 way radio systems (CB, Sideband, Marine VHF, police scanner, FRS/GMRS) but really don't know much about all the different HAM bands, meters, frequencies, etc. Where's a good place to learn and get up to speed?

Interesting that you recycled this thread. I've been thinking about doing the same thing. Actually bought a couple of Baofeng portables to play with and learn about HAM, but haven't really done anything yet. I've played around with CB (yeah, I know, don't say it), FRS GMRS, all types of police scanners, VHF, racing communications, etc. but never moved up to HAM gear. That would probably be a good resolution to make for 2019, before the next melt-down hits . And yes, I can see that it will get expensive too..... What's your experience with two way radios in general? Did that tech information seem difficult?

That's exactly the way I look at it. Plan A is me. Plan B is to call 911 so the police can come and take a report.

Who do you call, Ghostbusters?

This is a good wake-up call for all of us. If you can't reach 911 for an emergency, do you have a Plan B in place to handle the emergency, depending if it's a injury, fire, robbery, etc? Remember, when seconds count, first responders are only minutes away, or in the case of this story, never to arrive. BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Federal officials and at least one state say they’ve started an investigation into a nationwide CenturyLink internet outage that has caused 911 service disruptions. Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai made the announcement Friday, saying the outage that started Thursday is “completely unacceptable” because people who need help couldn’t use the 911 emergency number. CenturyLink spokeswoman Debra Peterson said the outage is not related to hacking, She declined further comment. https://apnews.com/1454add5707d41118930e49ae5752f11

Trump needs to man up, get his balls back and put his big boy pants on and deliver what he promised. He's got nothing to lose at this point. The Democrats will be gunning for him 24/7 starting in January. He needs to show a backbone, or his base will run him out of DC. Not to mention, he better start cleaning the Swamp... he hasn't done crap about that either...

I think his point was, you build what you want for yourself, then build a basic one that you can swap out the lower for when you bring family members or friends, if LOP is important. Would an occassional shooter care about a $200 trigger?

Think about that for just a second, and how absolutely screwed up the laws are in this state. A adjustable stock is So Dangerous, that you need to build multiple lowers just so different people can comfortably shoot at the range.. It's beyond nuts!!!!!

What I've seen is too many guys pick a spouse using the wrong head (that would be the lower one), and not using their upper one, then wonder why the relationship turns to crap. Same with me, it's been 38 years, and she respects my hobby, even though she has zero interest in it and actually doesn't like guns. She would never think of telling me what hobby I could partake in, and respects my decisions. This goes back to the comments in the first paragraph regarding the relationship. The bottom line, if you're having disagreements on different issues at home, the problem is a LOT bigger than you owning guns.

Wait until she's a "wife".. remember, no returns that way.

They'll hide it right under the bump stock ban he's going to sign and use NCR documents. Nice, look at all the free protein that you got!

That's kinda why I like it, with the composite stock. I have the CX4, which I really like. Plus, it doesn't look like a typical AR, another reason. I could live with that if a FFL would let it leave that way.

The whole point of capitalism, is to find a need and fill it.

Isn't capitalism wonderful?

Looking back at this puppy again. Wondering how to get around that issue. @remixer and @JT Custom Guns, is there anyway around this issue, to make it NJ compliant, but still make it able to be disassembled for cleaning? Seriously interested in one, if one of you guys, or anyone else knows how to work some magic.

Not drinking and posting again, are you???

People will flip their calendars to 2019. See, that was a easy question!
