Re: Albuquerque Is About To Become The Safest City!

Wow, do I feel dumb! All the work and preparation, putting covers over the windows, moving stuff off the porch, getting extra food, getting the generator into position. And all I would have needed was something as simple as a ban. Darn, those pieces of paper are tough.

Re: ATF Proposed Rule Amendment

"The gunpowder and primers are stored just inside the door" where the flash bangs would land. :o Just a step. If they get away with this, then ammunition comes next. Not "legally" an explosive you say? We don't need no legality; we ain't got no stinking legality," ("We ...

Re: Threaten Bidumb, the Kommies Execute You. Threaten Trump - you are a hero.

The reality is, threatening a sitting president is a federal crime. They don't play games. If the threat seems real...I remember a saying from Basic, "Your ass is grass, and I'm [DI] a lawnmower."

Re: What the hell happened to DeSantis?

DeSantis could use the "Bully Pulpit" - judiciously - but there's not much he can do personally. Legislative reform only serves to make things worse for the individual, it seems. As far as his campaigning, it's a double edged sword. If he takes up too much time, the "other side" ...

Re: Here's how propaganda works

The best lie is the half-truth. I've had this discussions with people who say, "Such and such a person should not be allowed to carry...etc." I tell them to come up with a list of categories they think should not carry. Then they are informed I likely would come up with the same list, poss...

Re: Gun Shows- Private Sellers

Absolutely correct. Here in Pinellas, the Sheriff's Dept. announced a number of years ago that officers would check everyone they saw in the parking lot coming out with a gun. Idea being, if bought, was it via 4473 or private? You can guess the rest. But, the points are well taken, that the local of...

Re: Gun Shows- Private Sellers

Interesting about Florida/Suncoast no longer allowing private sales. Useful to know, no more interest on my part, then. "Two Guys" had some shows on the east coast, I don't know about your area, or if they allow private sales or not. They were smaller, so the owners could watch more. Furth...

Re: reciprocity ?

Ah, "repairs." No transfer issues, then. Good idea to check with a local gun owner site: as with diving, fishing and a lot of other things, there is no substitute for local knowledge.

Thanks.

Re: reciprocity ?

Last I looked, both Carolinas are "must disclose upfront" states. So if you get pulled over in either, be aware. In 2015 my wife and I drove to VA to visit my BIL. From there we were going to Niagara Falls and Toronto, then to Michigan (then home). So in VA I Fed Exed our guns to an FFL i...
