I'll make this succinct and to the point.

 

My wife and I went to look at homes in PA this week. During the course of the tour the random real estate agent mentioned something about shooting. I let it pass.

 

A little later I asked 'did I hear you say something about shooting earlier?'. 'Yes I did' she said. She was ex-Army, with an ex-Marine husband, who carries concealed all the time when away from her home neighborhood, and open carries often with her S&W 6" .357.

 

At the end of the day we had dinner with her and three other friends. They're all transplants from NJ, all have their PA LTCF, and all belong to a local hunting and gun club. My wife and I listened with great interest to the stories of their afternoons at the club in pleasant weather; fishing, trap, skeet, rifle, handgun etc. Oh yes, also picnic baskets. We now have offers to join them for those events, and WHEN we move they'll show us the local ropes for FFLs etc. And there's significant interest in opening an indoor range at a nearby industrial park.

 

Then we crossed back over the Delaware to the PRNJ. And today I read all about the wonderful new 'clarifications' for the firearm impositions placed on all of us.

 

My view point today is much different than it was last week. I've got to shorten the departure timetable. I don't have forever.

Mind if I ask what area you were looking?

 

Have friends just south of I-78 near Easton.  Was interested in checking out something a little further south.  In other words... more space between me and Easton.

Luzerne & Schuylkill counties.

Skooks.

 

Give this some thought.

Not at all sure what you're telling me. 

I went to school in Schuylkill Haven back in the early 90s.  If they haven't built up that area, it's nice, quiet, out of the way, and not filled with people.

Both sides of my family from Luzerne.  Spent a good part of my youth roaming the countryside, Do a lot of research on your area of interest. Times they are a changing in the quiet valleys. Also, lots of mining happened in those areas, you need to be careful about that also.

Thank you. Much research already done with more to come. We'll be careful.

Skooks are like Piney's but worse.

LMAO!!! I loved the line "where your cousin is your girlfriends mom"

If you try to plant a garden there you dig up coal. There is a reason the morning drive on Route 61 is called The Coal Cracker 500.

OK, now I get it. I can assure you there will be no coal in our future. Above or below ground.

My kinda people.....

 

Isn't that broken up road the abandoned town with the coal fire burning under it?

I think there are two. One is Centralia, and the other is several miles of abandoned Route 61. But not certain.

 

The Road was filmed there. Nice feel good movie. I saw it was running on cable channels today, so will probably on late tonight or tomorrow as they seem to run movies that way.

Ah... 

 

and yes.. you are on a roll today.  I forget which post it was but I was laughing my ass off at work....  

That shit was hilarious

That's the only rap song I like other than DMX's table dance.

It's conceivable the next house may have a kegerator. 

 

If so, will I have to change my screen name to Skook45?

Has a nice ring to it.....

Well I guess this article explains part of my visit.
