I'm not knowledgeable on this particular church, but: Doesn't concealed mean concealed?

As I've said before -- Trump was a gun-banning Democrat before he decided it would be useful to pretend to be a Republican, so I can't imagine that this move is a surprise to anyone who pays attention.

Lyft Offering Free Transpo to Anti-Gun Rallies
Whisper replied to Fourtyfive's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Yeah, posting against concealed carry in their cars (if they actually post, which I doubt, since Uber doesn't own the cars) would be bad, but not as bad as giving free transportation to anti-freedom rallies. -
I bought my first AR in 1986 or 1987; can't recall for sure now. They cost more then than they do now. It is highly likely that ARs will never be any cheaper than they are today. It's an unprecedented buyer's market. Look at prices from Palmetto State Armory; they run remarkable specials all the time.

I'll pass this along to my friends who use ride-sharing, and encourage them to choose Uber. -
1941 Chrome/Nickle FN HighPower info
Whisper replied to Waters5117's topic in Curio, Relics and Black Powder
3" at 35 yards with 30 rounds? Considering that the 10-ring on a 50-yard pistol target is 3.36", you are talking about High Master class shooting with a fixed-sight Hi Power. That's an impressive feat. -
True. Another good example: SC Governor Mark Sanford, a Republican, who disappeared for six days in 2009 and was not reachable by phone. His staff claimed he was "hiking the Appalachian Trail," but when he returned on a plane flight from Argentina, it was revealed he had been putting the pork to a female journalist there. (Sanford was married at the time.) His wife divorced him, and the legislature drew up articles of impeachment but did not actually expel him from office, and he left in disgrace at the end of his term. Two years later he ran successfully for Congress, and he's still in office today. I agree with earlier comments suggesting that any politician's relationship with his or her spouse is their personal business, but I would argue that, for an elected official, dishonesty in personal life can legitimately raise questions of trustworthiness by the general public.

Glen Funk certainly played a major role, plus I am guessing that the left-wing money people told her it was time to step aside. She still needs the left-wing money people for her comeback campaign in 2021, so she will continue to do their bidding. I am confident that planning for her redemption tour is already underway -- she'll get appointed to some appropriately progressive volunteer citizen councils, she'll do volunteer work for the appropriate leftist causes, and in three years she'll be back seeking office again.

Complaint levels rise and fall, so it's tough to put too much stock in them. I heard lots of complaining about season five (Terminus) and I thought it was fine. Last season (seven) was the worst, although it had its moments. So far season eight is better. But overall, viewership is trending downward for the last several years, and this is an expensive show to produce, so they need to do something to increase interest. We'll certainly get a season nine, and probably ten, but the show needs something new. Maybe getting rid of Carl, which doesn't appear in the comics, will give the creators some new freedom to experiment.

I didn't think it was too slow; I liked it a lot. And I liked that they finally explained the whole situation about the trash people. And the trash shredder scene was astonishing. I think Simon is a goner, but whether he gets is from Negan or Jadis is unclear to me right now. Probably Negan, but....

I did handle it. It seems extremely well made and the trigger is magnificent. It has a fiber optic front sight, which I have come to prefer for pistol front sights. If I had the money I would have purchased it already.

gregintenn, I was just at On Target and they have the P210 at $1499. Cheers, Whisper

Whisper replied to jdgreen's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Yeah, kind of a shame that Delta threw away a $38 million tax break just to spite 13 people and earn praise from left-wing authoritarians. Wonder if it was worth it? -
I just thought of another reason you should buy an AR: Because left-wing authoritarians don't want you to have one. Hope this helps, Whisper

If you don't want it for yourself, get one anyway with the idea of passing it to your children or grandchildren. They'll be thankful to you. And, if you wind up shooting yours a little, I'm pretty confident you will find yourself having a lot of fun. Cheers, Whisper

Be aware that the new Sig Sauer P210 Legend is still made in Germany and not New Hampshire. It is an extraordinarily nice pistol. And Sig changed to the button mag release on the side of the frame with the P210-8 version in 2003.

A week or so ago there was one at On Target in Murfreesboro and one at Outpost Armory in Christiana. I was shocked; until then I had only seen two in my entire life, and then I saw two in one day in the same county. I want one. Just don't want to pay what it costs. Cheers, Whisper

Still more fun: Georgia legislature takes steps against anti-gun Delta Airlines; $38 million tax break on jet fuel goes away. https://www.seattletimes.com/business/georgia-senate-to-vote-on-tax-bill-delta-benefit-dropped/ Cheers, Whisper -
Companies ending partnerships with NRA
Whisper replied to jdgreen's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
From a source I can't reveal here, I'm told that Enterprise has been particularly hard-hit by negative response to their announcement, which has caused them to lose out on a major land acquisition they were in the process of negotiating...with a gun owner who has now refused to sell his property to them. -
I doubt it is open to anyone other than vendors on Thursday, since they won't have the admissions mechanism set up until Friday. But calling and asking is a good idea. I've been to NRA conventions in Nashville and Charlotte, and both were well worthwhile. Both required two days to get through all the exhibits. Cheers, Whisper

While we can point out many things that these two women did wrong, or did without adequate skill, they scored an A on the three most important things: 1. Have a gun. 2. Be willing to use it. 3. No matter what happens, keep fighting. I would argue that, while they made many mistakes, the fact that they got the most important things right is responsible for their victory. Cheers, Whisper
