Article: "States eye allowing concealed carry of guns without a permit"
Not to worry. Didn't you get the email today? We'll be able to carry by the Summer... ANJRPC JOINS "FRIEND OF COURT" BRIEF IN NEW YORK CARRY LAW CHALLENGE! January 25, 2021. ANJRPC has joined a coalition of State Associations and law enforcement organizations who have filed a "friend of the court" legal brief in a pending New York carry law challenge that could be the first such case to go to the U.S. Supreme Court. The brief urges the Supreme Court to take the case. See a copy of the brief by clicking here. While ANJRPC has its own independent case seeking to challenge New Jersey's unconstitutional carry laws, the New York case is procedurally ahead of the New Jersey case and is therefore likely to be considered first. The coalition of organizations urging that the New York case be heard includes gun rights organizations from California, Massachusetts, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Hawaii and Vermont, in addition to five law enforcement groups. There could be a decision on whether the Supreme Court will take the New York case by this Summer.

Yeah, like it never happened before with Bitcoin, right? A famous quote, "Those who fail to learn Learn From History, are Doomed to Repeat it". For every person who made money on Bitcoin, there's probably 10 that got screwed. Not everyone gets sucked into get rich quick schemes. Good luck with your journey on becoming a millionaire with Bitcoin. I chose to become a millionaire the old fashion way, by working hard, saving from every paycheck and investing wisely. I won't lose what I have, depending on which way the wind blows. And it wasn't on get rich quick schemes.

The Bitcoin groupies remind me of the Qanon groupies. No level of facts or logic will change their minds. Go ask a "Q" follower how well that worked out this past year. Really?.. you've been pumping it up like crazy. Is that what people called it in the Fall/Winter of 2018... Winning? Or was that the chant in Dec. 2017?

That might be sooner than later.... this doesn't sound good... Houston, we have a problem... Bitcoin’s skid rings alarm bells as money manager says retreat to $20,000 ahead Values for the world’s most prominent cryptocurrency were off by over 10% around Thursday’s lows at about $31,000, with the crypto having shed 12% over the week, according to FactSet data. Indeed, Guggenheim Partners Chief Investment Officer Scott Minerd, a recent proselyte from traditional Wall Street instruments to cryptos, told CNBC on Wednesday that he believed bitcoins may stage a retreat back to $20,000, after reaching a record peak at $41,962.36 on Jan. 7, according to CoinDesk. “For the time being, we have probably put in a top for bitcoin for the next year or so,” Minerd told the business network. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/bitcoins-skid-rings-alarm-bells-as-money-manager-says-retreat-to-20-000-ahead-11611260058?mod=home-page- More ads or is it just me?

Here's the OP original post: So, it sounds like it's his go-to tool. Those are great, and something everyone needs to consider. Here are some other points of consideration, how will you defend yourself from different areas of your home? If you're sitting in the family room, and a perp kicks in your front door, getting to the locked safe in your bedroom for your H.D. AR15 is going to be a real problem. Everyone needs to do a walk through, and war game every area of your home, and how you'll react if a intruder comes through various doors. In many cases, it might require having quick access tools in multiple places. Is placing multiple AR15s in different rooms the solution in your houses? It's not in mine. Many people think they can buy a AR15 or shotgun, and stick it in a locked safe in their bedroom closet, and they're protected. That's a really poor plan. That plan is as bad as the people who install a Ring video doorbell, and think they have great a video surveillance system protecting their home, or buy one fire extinguisher and put it in the garage, and think they're safe from fire. Home defense is a multi level, multiple ring system, that requires various tools and plans. Here's the motto I live by: One is none Two is one And Three is where you want to be- Converting 30 rd Pmag to 10 rds using Magblocks

At what distance? Shooting stationary at a range at 25 yards, and moving dynamically in your house in the dark with a target 5 yards away, are two completely different animals. Go try it tonight at midnight with all the lights off, and see what's easier to acquire a target at short distances.- First rifle - what to look for.
I don't see a AR as a good first choice for HD in any environment. and that's why... to me, it seems to be more of a cult then anything. I wonder how many people have actually tried moving around their house, turning doorways and walls, going around furniture, all while swinging a AR of 35" in length? In most cases, the HD encounter with a bad guy will be at short ranges, 10 - 30 ft., not 100 ft shots. Do you really need a 3300 ft/sec projectile in that situation? And, if by chance the intruder gets the jump on you, good luck trying to get that barrel up for a clean shot in close contact. A handgun, in the above situation, is more appropriate.- Stock picks..anyone do some small time investing?
I'm not so sure about that. I seems like BTC is setting up to follow the same trend line that it did in the start of 2018. It's been heading down since the first week of January, That's the same thing that happened in 2018, after everyone jumped into the pool in Dec. 2017.- Stock picks..anyone do some small time investing?

That's all I'm doing it for. These are short term plays, not long term investments. I think I'm in a different situation then many of you, since I'm retired. This is just playtime to make a few bucks. If I throw in $10K, and then jump back out making +30% or so, it allows me to go buy lunch..- Stock picks..anyone do some small time investing?

This is correct, nothing is permanent. Even rivets can be easily drilled out. My suggestion, put in the mag blocks, epoxy the base plate, and stop worrying. There hasn't been a single report in over 2 years of anyone being arrested at the range with a +10 round mag.- Ammo
