Um... ok... Can we get back to disliking Obama for more practical reasons now?

Got patted down at the Titans vs. Bears pre-season game earlier this year. Could have easily taken a full sized firearm in no better than they searched me. It's a token gesture at best. Obviously I was unarmed, following the letter of the law, but you get the point.

Nice looking blade!

First thing that came to mind... "I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and every free man hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?” Just sayin'

Been putting some plans to paper today as a matter of fact. It's probably going to be mid October before I can personally attend anything because of my work schedule for the next few weeks, though. I was thinking like October 17th or 24th.

Ya think?

It'll be nice.

I made some minor tweaks to the server today in an effort to remove anything that might be slowing down page loads on the database side. So far it doesn't seem any faster than it ever was, but it also doesn't seem slow at all. Not sure that what I did helped any but it certainly didn't hurt.

A worthwhile contribution to the thread!

There is no compelling urgency to transfer items into a trust unless you want them there.

Guys, if we can't be a little thick skinned around here then what's the point of having conversations? The tinfoil hat comment reads like a friendly jab; no reason to turn it into something that it wasn't.

So far I'm impressed with the speed however I've been seeing the Internet connection drop sporadically which kind of hurts my ability to stay connected via VPN to work. Adding insult to injury, I'm also getting calls for someone else on the phone number that they had provisioned for me. That started about 5 minutes after they installed it. Ugh. Time to change the number again. I had to schedule the tech to come back out tomorrow to address the connectivity issue.

Business class... Nice!

Seems pretty consistent at least. This was my result from the XFinity test site. Thanks for posting that link!

Just upgraded my home connection due to new demands at work. Not bad?

No, we did that yesterday.

I don't get this. Why would you compromise your own first line of security by even answering the door in the first place? At that point, they have the upper hand.

Welcome! Glad you found us.

I noticed one period last night where it seemed to take a little longer than normal to do a "What's New" search but there was nothing showing in the performance logs at the time. It did not seem to be related to the Tactical Republic ads, or at least I did not see that in the browser. I'm going to dig a little today as I have time.

I'll inquire; we might be getting throttled bandwidth-wise if we are dishing out too much traffic. If that's the case, I'm sure they can upgrade us for a cost and I'd be surprised if the cost is prohibitive.

I agree with that, which is why I don't recommend it for "everyone" either. There are cases where the return on the investment may not be there. But once you go past one NFA item or want to allow your spouse or adult-children to take an NFA item and shoot with it without you present, it becomes worth it.

No, the person out of state can ship the firearm to a FFL holder in the state of the recipient without going through an FFL in his/her own state. It's just sometimes easier to have an FFL do both sides of the shipping process because UPS and FedEx equally seem inept and inexperienced when it comes to handling personal shipping of firearms and do not care to be versed in the law, which can cause a hassle at the counter.

Because I'm right? Edited to add... I see that it always comes down to price with you, to borrow a phrase. You don't have to do this through a lawyer. It's probably better if you do, but I was able to do mine without a lawyer and then have a lawyer-friend look it over after the fact. He found no problems with what I did. So my trust cost me all of nothing to craft, nothing to have notarized through my bank, and the same $200 for the tax stamp that it cost you to submit to the BATFE, minus the finger printing charge, minus the hassle of having the CLEO look it over and drag their feet on, minus the intrusion into my privacy of having the CLEO know about it in the first place, WITH the added benefit that those who are on the trust can possess the items on the trust without me being present. So, like I said, it's better.

I doubt that's it.
