Oh Shoot

Since I've not had burning desire for a particular gun or one to sell either, I've been going to mostly every other one over the last year, which is the Expo. However, at least up until the Gestapo at the Expo was replaced, the Jacobs Bld. was much better place to sell, as you can just hang out outside without even paying. And no hassle from the gendarmes. - OS

For those on vampire hours, 1-5 am is quite pleasant also, just usually can't buy any ammo. And no guns of course. - OS

Yeah, I've never quite understood how the GOP came to be this pro Christian (especially evangelical), anti-abortion, anti gay type org. You'd think the freedom afforded by the more traditional government hands off philosophy of "your rights end where my nose begins" would be more appropriate in the long run -- it should champion individual rights more than urging blanket legislation that affect entire segments of the population, particularly on its current definition of "morality". - OS

Nah, just some of the small ones. Miniaturization is problematic. Most larger quality handguns should run right out of the box. Contrary to conventional advice about breaking down and cleaning, I shot 100 rounds or more out of all three of my XD models right out of the box (subbie, service, tactical), which were flawless. Same with Beretta 92, and even HiPoint C9. Kahr PM9 did indeed need a break in period, but again, that miniaturization being the variable. - OS

Planning on coming, myself. - OS

Duh, I forgot that little factoid, too. - OS

9mm has "WCC" "11" and NATO headstamp for whatever reason. We let China into NATO? - OS

All correct. TSA: Traveling with Special Items - OS

I'm Mr. Sutherland. But plumper. - OS

Yeah, even factory case okay if it has hole in handle for a lock and the lock keeps it shut snugly. Some do some don't. Center of Mass makes a quite popular and affordable one. Sold as "car safes", but work fine for plane without the cable attached. In Car Gun Lockers They are sold online by the usual places, too, and some are made by COM even when they're not advertized as such. Sport Lock Als Single Pistol C, Shooting Accessories, Sportlock at Sportsman's Guide 2-GVNV100 - GunVault NV100 Nanovault Safe 8.25"x6"x1.75" with Cable and Key Lock Black etc - OS

Garage, interior hallway, and kitchen. That's kinda what I figured. Gummit uses EPA standards, mandatory hazardous waste warning, yet no real system for disposal. My bulk pack of Sylvania CFLs says "Contains Mercury. Manage in accordance with disposal laws." Right. Whatever they are. Another small part of the "to manage people, make them all criminals" Big Brother philosophy. - OS

PayPal interface has always been instantaneous for me. That how you did it? Wasn't an eCheck was it? - OS

Not sure what you're seeing. TGO vBulletin doesn't have spell check enabled (not sure if it even can without an add-on?) Firefox has built-in spell check, which is the one I see. No spell check at all with IE 8 unless you have an add-on for it. Which browser are you using? - OS

Have to see some corroborating evidence to buy that. C'mon, you gotta KNOW that's a myth. Would require "made in China" on the product, for one obvious refutation. - OS

I still don't know answer to this question: if a candidate drops out of race before a state's primary, is he still shown on ballot? - OS

What ARE you supposed to do with them? (I've been throwing them in trash -- just replaced three of mom's, didn't last much if any longer than regular incandescent). - OS

Well, okay semantics. "On January 1, 2012 a law phasing out standard 100-watt incandescent bulbs will go into effect." Yeah, the new ones are still "incandescent", and supposedly cheaper over total life of bulb. Maybe. I've sure already had a number of the CFLs that haven't lasted any longer than current incandescent, and several that were DOA from the store. - OS

Just to be accurate, that was Kmart. - OS

Nope, wasn't. Phaseout is proceeding. - OS

Nope, wasn't. Phaseout is proceeding. - OS

Yep, even repeated convictions for unlawful carry remain misdemeanors. And don't even prevent you from later getting an HCP if you grow tired of being busted. - OS

Besides private biz, your parks and city/county gvt. buildings not posted? Schools of course. - OS

Ah. Okay. Myself, I don't really need to have a "typical" plan for "when" I get pulled over. 1. pull over, turn on overhead if at night, hands on wheel. 2. hand stuff over he wants. HCP and inform that I'm armed? Why not, seems to get a lot of folks out of tickets. 3. be nice 4. hope for best This needs a plan? Maybe I better make a flowchart and keep it on dash. - OS

Been doing it for two or three months now pretty much nationwide. Pretty good dope that some will start doing handguns again in 2012 too. - OS
