Latest map from NWS:

You don't and couldn't before them. Yes. Even before the current ePermits, you had to do the transfer with paper permits through an FFL.

Here's another map. I've followed this guy for the last few years. His predictions are usually pretty close. This being the first good storm of the season, some of these guys might be a little over zealous. https://nynjpaweather.com/public-forecast/ https://twitter.com/nynjpaweather

The sad thing, their parents are in the same condition. The level of savings that the baby boomers have is frightful. If you watch your parents live paycheck to paycheck, guess what you do too?

Helps to sell the video Hollywood production? Would be too boring to just drop it, like everyone else.

Isn't that what a home defense situation is?

Everyone might want to check their generators too... Forecasts are for winds mixed with wet snow... You know what happens next...

Exactly... I should have put that FIRST on the list!

If you think the cheating was bad on Nov. 3rd, you haven't seen nothing yet. This is full court press for the Dems, they'll pull out all the stops to win, so they can get full control of Congress. They also know they NEVER get punished for illegal activity, so it just emboldens them to go Big or go home.

Sure, I think it would also work great for the neighbor's cats that wander around too!

Got gas for your snow blower? Did you test it to see if it runs? This is for you guys in the north part of the state! Got toilet paper, disinfectant and paper towels... (just because) Guys like @YankeeSC can just sit back and laugh... You got beer? At least this should take the focus off of he China virus, lockdowns, masks and vaccines for a day or two!

The plus to a laser is that you don't have to be over the sights. You'll know where the gun is aimed even at the low ready position, or if you have to react quickly in a HD situation or rush the shot. Or, if the perp quickly gets in too close, knocks you down and you can't get over the sights.

What about a laser instead?

I need to get me one of these bad boys. Just think of the fun you could have around the neighborhood. It would take that whole, "Get of My Grass" to a new level... BEIJING — A drone has been converted into a flying flamethrower in central China in a fiery campaign to eradicate more than 100 wasp nests. Videos released by Blue Sky show a recent mission by the six-arm drone. It hovers above a hive as large as a suitcase before swooping down. The drone operator flips the ignition switch, and the drone spits bursts of fire onto the hive. They raised $12,200 to buy a drone and equip it with a gasoline tank and an arm-length nozzle. https://www.denverpost.com/2020/12/12/flamethrower-drone-china/

I'm close to that: 10% online in the early years 90% via LGS I prefer LGS now, both to support the local suppliers plus to have a place to go back to if issues arise. And accessories, mostly online.

What's your definition of inexpensive? That would be helpful for everyone to know what the budget is.

Not the crock pot?

I've asked more than once. Please post the links that support your position. As usual, you and Jack post MANY "Truths by Proclamations", but NEVER post links, charts, data of verifiable information to support your position, like I always do. I would really like to see your credible sources that prove it. Slowing growth precedes no growth, doesn't it. I pointed out more than once, the economy slowed at the end of last year, leveled off in the beginning of this year, and NBER determined it rolled over in the beginning of February and went negative, after they went back and reviewed data. You still haven't answered my question to why the Fed lowered rates THREE times last Fall, if the economy was so rosey and growing? Was Covid here in July 2019? Why drop rates back then in a growing economy? Why did the Fed stop raising rates in the beginning of 2019 like they were doing the previous two years? Because the economy was so great and healthy? Here's a link, and chart is below: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/fedfunds Notice the gray area at the far right side of the chart. That's the Recession that started in February. Covid wasn't an issue at that point in the country. Unless you really want us to believe Trump halting all flights from China at the end of January started a recession two weeks later in February. Covid just took a bad situation and made it a hell of lot worse in the end of March and into Q2.

Or Chinese/government hacking. First there was Ring cameras watching/recording, then Alexa and Google Home recording every conversation, now your Roomba is spying on you. Make sure you always have your pants on, and don't say a word. ....."The research team, led by Assistant Professor Jun Han from NUS Computer Science, said LidarPhone, the sensor that allows the robot vacuum to navigate around the house safely, can be repurposed into a laser-based microphone to eavesdrop on private conversations. Sami continued: "Our method shows it is now possible to gather sensitive data just by using something as innocuous as a household robot vacuum cleaner. Our work demonstrates the urgent need to find practical solutions to prevent such malicious attacks." If you're worried about the government conducting surveillance - well, our advice is to avoid wiring up your house with smart devices - one can only imagine some scary scenarios if hackers or even the government using robot vacuum cleaners to spy on people. https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/your-robot-vaccum-can-spy-private-conversations

If you read data that NBER has released, they claim growth slowed in Dec. 2019, but since some metrics measure the economy by quarters, it didn't show until mid February, which was the peak. Data always lags. It had nothing to do with Covid at that point, since we're talking about the US, and not global. The effects of Covid didn't really smack the country until mid March. That's when the brakes were really put on. It was the slowing of the economy in the end of 2019 which led to the peak in mid Feb, where they feel the recession started and the current business cycle ended. It's not like there's a light switch that gets turned off, there are multiple parts of the puzzle to calling a recession. NBER looks at more than just 2 qtrs of negative growth. They look at jobs, incomes, inventories, retail sales, etc. to come to their conclusion. If you review what was going on in the end of 2019, it's clear that the economy was starting to hurt. When was the last time you saw the Fed lower rates 3 times during a good economy? That's artificial growth, caused by over $3.1 Trillion printed and injected into the economy, and a bounce off of a extreme crash and low. If anyone really thinks we're having significant economic growth right now, in Q4, I have some really nice oceanfront property in Kansas I'll sell them at a great deal!

The economy started to roll over and slow down the end of the Summer 2019, and the overnight REPO market started getting nervous, and the Fed had to intervene. Then, if you remember, there were three Fed rate reductions in the Fall of 2019 to try and prop up the market. The party started back then, they saw it coming. https://edition.cnn.com/2019/10/30/economy/federal-reserve-rate-decision-october/index.html https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/30/when-the-fed-cuts-rate-three-times-and-pauses-history-shows-it-works-out-great-for-stocks.html I accept what NBER says, since they've been at this longer that you or I have been on this rock. They're the ones that have called all the past recessions, so if they say the economy rolled over in February, I'll take them at their word. The Covid situation just piled on after that fact.

Here it is from NBER: ..."The committee has determined that a peak in monthly economic activity occurred in the US economy in February 2020. The peak marks the end of the expansion that began in June 2009 and the beginning of a recession. The fact that the monthly peak of February occurred in the middle of 2020Q1 while the quarterly peak occurred in 2019Q4 reflects the unusual nature of this recession. The economy contracted so sharply in March (the final month of the quarter) that in 2020Q1, GDP, GDI, and employment were significantly below their levels of 2019Q4." https://www.nber.org/news/business-cycle-dating-committee-announcement-june-8-2020

Jack is not going to like that. So, you're disproving that fact that the country went into a recession in February? Where did you see that?
