This is such bs. Go over there and talk to some of them. The ones that were there have never forgotten what the Americans did for them. What I would get sick of too is an American always having to bring that up after 70 years. I spend a lot of time over there and have never once been treated rudely by anyone. I also don't act like a know it all American, may have something to do with it. Sorry if I come across strong, but I find this to be a completely ignorant statement (in the literal sense of the term).

Did you ask about their Firearm policy  :D     Too soon?  J/K, glad it all worked out.

While they should have been nicer, I don't really think any of it was their fault either though. I do agree that it never helps to blame the customer. At least you got what you ordered.

I use RIG on all of mine. Never had an issue.

  The only flaw in this is that none of these shootings took place in a really bad area.  We can debate over Antioch  :stir: , but if this is about the previous shootings, you can't say the last few mass shootings have been in bad areas.

I always get an isle seat.  Not because I am worried about a shooting, but because I inevitably have to pee.

I would probably go ahead and use bedliner.  It will protect it from rust just from sitting out in the humidity, plus if you spill something you can just hose it off.  I would think a rubber mat would just collect moisture under it and make it worse.

I want to know who the hell takes a backpack to a movie anyway.  What are they doing, planning to camp.   I will still go as I enjoy movies.  Less of you means more choice of seats for me  :up:

I think you could also use one of those blue tarps for water.  Just stake down the corners and let the dew form on top of it.  Then just lift and pour off.  Don't see why that wouldn't work somewhat in a desperate situation along with the other options listed.

I think the moral of this story is if you want to do business with a co-worker, do it off site.   Sorry you had to lose your job over it.

I would take a pretty solid guess that it is in fact Federal Property.  I think you will find the answer to your question is no, you will not be allowed to have a gun at all once you pass through the gates.

  While I agree with the exact logic, I also don't expect a 1 year payback, or even that we have to completely fund it via this means.  Heck, make it a 20 year payback (1.225 million visas) and we pay for some ourselves.  I am ok with that as well.  At least he is willing to do something besides allow them all to stay so they can eventually vote.

  Depends on the lease and manufacturer.  BMW's warranty covers maintenance for 4 years/50k miles.  I had Audi include it in my lease pricing, but it wasn't automatic.  Certainly, a lessee would be responsible for any damage and miles over the agreement.  

  I can give you a good example, which is my own situation.  I am sure someone will want to argue that a person should keep a car forever, or pay cash up front, or one of many other reasons, but that isn't my criteria.  If that is how you like to do it, good on you, but that isn't me.  As long as everyone understands that my criteria is I prefer to have a new car every few years and this is a second car so the mileage is not an issue, then at least for me, this makes sense to lease.  I probably could use it for my business, but that isn't my main intention.   So to compare (the payments are based on deals I am negotiating and are pretty close to final numbers).  I am not going into Net Cap Cost, MF's or Residuals for the lease.  Lease is 36 Months/12,000 miles.   Lease: 2016 Audi A6 - ~MSRP 63k. - 3k down - Payment $630 month  (all Maintenance included) - Total 3 year cost:  $25,680   Purchase: Used 2014 BMW 535i (35k miles), ~ $40k.  7k down - Payment $606 month.  (Maintenance to 50k) - Total 3 Year cost: $28,816.  After 3 years, I would still owe $14,544.  Car would be worth ~ $16k.     I could put more or less down on the BMW, but it comes out to about the same amount after 3 years.  If I am only planning to keep the car for three years, then in my case, a lease makes more sense.

Leases can be very good options in some cases. Won't get into a big argument over it as there are merits to both. Now to answer your question, both is the answer. To understand a lease, you need to understand some primary terms. Net Cap Cost - price of vehicle after all incentives, discounts, taxes, etc Money Factor - interest rate paid on the lease. This is a decimal value, not apr. Residual - % of car value after the lease period. This is based on msrp. Lease term, and miles. - this affects residual value Without getting into the math and to keep it simple, generally, the MF and Residual are calculated by the Manufacturer. The Net Cap cost is based on how much the dealer wants to deal. It also includes any down payment from the buyer that decreases net cap cost. There is also something called Multiple Security Deposits (MSD's) that can lower a money factor. Plug these numbers into a lease calculator and you can determine where the difference is coming from. Assuming the cars are the exact same, it would either be that they are having the customer pay more down, using a higher residual, or using a lower MF. Probably all three. Dealers make money on the MF, so know what it should be by checking somewhere like Edmunds. I am considering leasing a new Audi A6 and have done a ton of research on this. Edmunds has some good info if you really want to understand all of it. Hope that helps.

I have one of those to I would sell as well, but it is a lot more expensive.  I will send you a PM.

I decided tonight to sell my STI Trojan 5" 9mm.  It may be something to consider.  Not as nice as an Edge, but with 5 mags, it may be a decent option.  It is listed in the for sale section.  No worries if your not interested, but wanted to at least let you know.  I am funding a new Nightforce so a couple of things are getting put on the block.

Time to write my legislators.  Need to get our word in early before they start thinking compromise.

I have had and sold (stupid me) a CZ SP-01 Shadow Target.  One of best guns I have had.  I would highly recommend them.  The STI's are nice as well (I have a 2011 race gun), but I would go with the CZ in that comparison.

Nice looking rig.

Got the info I needed.  Thanks.      

I know there are a lot of Lee fans here, but I would go for the Rockchucker personally. On a side note, you are one heck of a BIL!

You will be happy with the Savage you got.  I haven't heard of anyone reasonable that has had a major issue.   I am sure there have been some lemons, but they are few and very far between.

I think early October would be a nice time to go personally. You could get some snow very high up and in the Tetons. I have stayed in Jackson Hole and it is an easy drive to many parts. Or stay in the park. I also think a week is a pretty good amount of time to see most, if not all of it.

Yellowstone.
