ORSA events are very accepting of newbies. You'll have a blast.

Rafting the Ocoee is fun, but swimming it is better.   Swiftwater Rescue classes that I took were on the Ocoee.    (Also, try not to think too much about the fact that the Ocoee is where they filmed the whitewater parts of Deliverance.)

I commented in an earlier thread that guns like this remind me of Cartman trying to pass as "special" to be in the special olympics.

      That's what I suspected.   Apparently, "This is not a scientific poll" means we can put whatever we like up for numbers, and make you *think* it was a poll.

The numbers after I voted. Next person to vote post yours and we'll see if it changes.   All   55% 12139   Some   24% 5327   None   21% 4742   Total votes: 22208

Saw this on FB tonight, and I'm STILL laughing. This one wins the "I can haz cheeseburger" internets.

Wow. I hadn't read the stories about the hoax before now.

How is a retired LEO anything but a citizen?   In fact. How is a LEO anything but a citizen with a badge?   "Provide the appropriate exemptions..."         Nail, meet hammer.

It appears they use a different currency in NY. I checked armslist, and found GI metal mags for $100 each.

  I found this out yesterday; they say "well, I thought we were friends" and de-friend you on FB.

  And the one that busted ACORN.

I like that.

"I agree with you, but."

Glad to hear everything turned out ok.

EFAD is terrific. But after 6 chapters I knew I'd made a list...

Look! A spine! Who knew?

  Gotcha.

  I'd like to hear what a "Legitimate Hunter" is too.

  I disagree. They aren't just thinking about it.    Let's be honest, they are always thinking about it. It's when they start to act on those thoughts that they get blowback.   They seem to be backing off the AWB talk pretty hard, at least publicly. Perhaps someone has read EFAD and suggested it might be a bad idea?

From another thread:       I've been toying with "We are not subjects" or "We will not submit." Thoughts?

  Yeah, I feel SO much better.   Guess I'll peel off a layer of tinfoil.

As a night-owl myself, I've learned that most posts made in the wee hours of the morning tend to slide by unnoticed.   Welcome to TGO.
