If you are close enough (Say within a 2 hour drive).
This is a good gunshow. Not as big as the INDY 1500, but better quality collectibles and usually a whole backroom full of private sellers with something for everyone.
Plus it is put on as a fundraiser by the Dunes Rifle and Pistol club as a method of acquring land for their new range.
Put the drink DOWN.
In fact, put it in another room or finish it so you won’t spill it.
The sad part is that someone, somewhere in the DNC headquarters is actually having that sort of meltdown.
about cheap inexpensive body armor….Not that we need any, but just what is out there that is affordable. And carriable. I mean, you can spend a shitload of money and/or you can carry a shitload of weight.
Ceramic plates are lighter, but costly, steel is heavier but cheaper.Pretty much a binary solution set….
So another dude listens in and then says “You will never have any need for body armor.”….”this is the United States”
I said: “That’s what the folks in Ukraine thought too….”
Something to think about, eh?
So yer hauling 23 lbs of pot.
And you pull something stupid, like failure to signal, and failure to stop before turning…..
And in your backseat, in (more or less) plain sight is the pot.
Just how stupid do you have to be?
I’m no expert, and I haven’t carried any pot in my car….
But reading these same stories over and over, I can tell you a few rules:
1. DO Keep it covered. Big box, duffle bag, whatever. Trunk if possible. If not, SOMETHING INCONSPICUOUS.
2. DON’T speed, fail to stop, fail to signal, roll stop signs, etc. Don’t fail to make sure all of your lights are working…turn signals, headlights, brake lights, etc.
Dude has probably done this for a long time, but just one mistake like any of the above listed and a cop decides to pull you over and your day has gone all to shit.
23 lbs should fit in a big box in the backseat or the trunk (or, at least both, if need be).
I mean, I kinda like the idea.
(Question is, would they stay bought for the whole term????)
And they should. Even when the apparent motivation isn’t racial or religious, but rather a dispute over parking. (autoplay warning)
But do you hear the Muslim press decrying the murder and dhimmitude of Christians in the Middle East? I don’t. While Muslim lives should matter, so should Christians. And we don’t even have to discuss the fact that to Muslims in the Middle East, Jewish lives don’t matter at all……
Why is that? All I hear is Muslims crying how hard it is to be a Muslim in America. How they are oppressed and persecuted. Yet they have the ability to stand up and complain without fear of retribution……
ATF says you don’t need ammo for Non “Sporting Purposes”. And they define ‘Sporting”
Seems that they feel that M855 is now (suddenly) “Armor Piercing” and therefore we serfs must not be allowed to purchase it anymore. Because gun or something.
Is there a decent alternative for this bullet? I can reload cases to make any type of load I care to, but the 62 grain bullet works well for me. I assume that it will soon be unavailable for purchase.
I’m gonna search the couch cushions and see if I can’t come up with a way to purchase some M855 just for fun.
Sporting Purposes, you know.
ETA: Tam has some good advice should you care to comment.
Of course, the distance is only a millimeter or so but still…Shades of Nikola Tesla .
Got the new Qi compatible charger and adapter for my cell phone a few days ago.
Nice.
No plugging and unplugging. My phone has a small cover over the USB/charging port that makes it “waterproof”….(for some standard of waterproof I suppose?). But it is a pain in the ass to open and close when I want to charge my phone.
I bought a wireless charging pad like these, and an insert for my phone like one of these or these
No more cables. So far, I like it.Toss your phone on the charging mat and walk away. Pick it up when it is done.
If ya got a cell phone and they make an adapter for it, (even I-Phones!!) spend the 30 bucks or so and make it truly wireless….
I guarantee my next new cell phone will have this built in.
Don Channing and the boys at Venus Equilateral would be impressed….
Or maybe the surviving family are just assholes.
I hope she can counter sue for attorney’s fees and such.
READ.
Makes me glad I don’t live in Kalifornia.
All about race.
Not the fact that the team had members from as far as 25 miles outside of the borders of the area.
No, that couldn’t be the issue. It wasn’t “cheating, cheating” that part of the team was composed of ringers from a very wide area, rather than just the inner city kids. It was just that the rules were racist.
Nope, It must be because those boys were black. Negroes, as it were. Gotta keep the darkies down…..
Jesus, just what are they teaching these kids. Cheating is ok? Lying to gain the end you want is good? Do whatever it takes to win, rules and morals don’t matter?
Now, I am not blaming these 13 year old boys. They, as a team, worked hard and and accomplished their goal and won. The fact that some of their team members were ineligible to play on that team, that they were “ringers” as it were, is not the fault of those boys, but rather the fault of the adults.
The fact that so many people knew and were willing to look the other way is terrible. The fact that so many others are willing to complain that the team was stripped of their title and make excuses for this behavior is even worse. The fact that so many people are willing to use this (and the team) as a way to get their faces in front of the cameras one more time is yet worse again.
The sad part was the media attention that was given to the fact that these boys who won were black, back when they won their games. Like it was something surprising that some inner city black kids could compete against white suburban kids at all. That is the racist part, really.
