got some cards with pics and my name on em
that way I know who I is
When I transferred from Infantry to Air Wing in The Marines, as a Corporal I was tasked with Leading the other Marines, most of whom were Privates and PFCs fresh out of Boot Camp, in the same school, Aviation Ordnance. There were about 50 or so of us. When calling roll in the morning, somebody would inevitably not here when his name was called. After about the third time calling a name and not getting a response, I'd tell the Platoon, "If you can't remember your name, look at your I.D. Card!"

I have CCW permits from 4 states. They cover most of the country. I avoid the places where none of them are valid. If I must travel though such a place, I make sure everything is stowed according to FOPA, and do not stop except for gas, or the bathroom.
When I was making my Arizona to Ohio road trips, the only place I traveled through that it wasn't was Illinois. Since that only consisted of about a 120 mile of I-70, I filled my gas tank in St. Louis Mo. so that I wouldn't HAVE to stop, secured my guns as required by law, and drove straight through to Indiana. As for everywhere on the trip, every state I drove through was an "Open Carry" state, and I did. I received many compliments, too.
Out of 50 states, my Arizona is honored by 39. Since I don't have any reason to visit any of the states that don't honor it, I don't foresee a problem. The only place I could ever see myself going in those states, would be to visit the Los Angles Fire Dept. Museum to see the vehicles used in the T.V. show "Emergency", and to visit the Ronald Reagan Library to see Kurt Russel's guns from "Tombstone". And I SERIOUSLY doubt that I'll do that.

Plus no brass to police up

Charter Arms has a piece in the extractor star that catches the extractor groove and then cams out of the way for loading so that they also eject the brass. From Chuck Hawks:

9mm ballistics in a .38 sized package. Some people just prefer a revolver. It's no different than a S&W 625 in .45ACP, or it's predecessor the S&W or Colt 1917. Ruger makes the LCR and SP101 in 9mm, and they even made their Security Six and Speed Six in 9mm, as well as cylinders in the same for Blackhawk revolvers. Heck, I have a couple Uberties that have .45 ACP cylinders . Charter Arms has their Pitbull series of revolvers that can be had in 9mm, .40 S&W, or .45ACP. So does Taurus.
So, why not?

I'm terrible with names, unless I have a particular reason to remember it, or something about it sticks because it puts me in a mind of something. Heck, the first week or two after I met my wife I didn't remember her name.

There are two types of electric fencing that I know of. One has Hot wiring as the fence itself, and the earth is the ground.
The other has every other wire either hot or ground. Neither will spark with only one wire in contact with something like a rock.

What is hilarious about all of this is that although I prefer to use a computer, other than for work, it would be possible for me to never use a computer again. The joke's on them.
5 hours ago, Stump Water said:Likewise, except no more work for me. Although I prefer a computer over the phone. I don't do social media or anything on my phone except phone, text and take the occasional pic.
I was a truck driver. I didn't need a computer to work. I used it then, like now, purely for recreational purposes, so I also could do without it if I needed to.
This forum here, and a few others I haunt are all the social media I do. I only do that on my desktop, because the only thing I use my FLIP PHONE for is making phone calls. It's a phone to me. Nothing more.

I think they look better than jeeps and roomier on inside. Here is wife’s she just got….she hasn’t had it off road yet
we take the truck for that so her tires don’t throw so many rocks 
They look out of proportion to me. They look like the roofline should be higher. But I was used to the older profile.

Just as an FYI, we were able to do our taxes using the online version of TurboTax on my Windows 10 confuser.
8 hours ago, WD Farren said:Online has nothing to do with TT on a workstation.
Online is a web based app, not an executable running on your computer.
I'll take your word for it.
I only post this because some people, (myself included), had gotten the impression, due to discussions about it, that one couldn't file with TurboTax on a Windows 10 confuser. You can.

I have no doubt that turbo tax and others will not launch on anything lower than Win12 after it comes out, same as they do today with Win11.

Nobody really seems to know where or how it started, but sassnetguy50's explanation is as good as any I've heard. The collections are generally from Jeep owners placing ducks on another Jeep they see. I've got a couple myself. Just come out of Walmart or the gym, and there's one sitting on my seat or side step. But yes, some of these guys seem to be taking it a little too far, or at least way further than I would.

The man said he did not ask for a priest and the question was since he was Jewish is it racist to think he should have asked for a rabbi. In this instance race has nothing to do with it since I assume everyone is white in this story.
Rye, stop it. You're being reasonable again. To the people who live to be offended by it, EVERYTHING a white man does is offensive. maybe not racist, but offensive.

Think about "Star Wars". The first movie was the fourth chapter. When I was watching the third movie, I couldn't get excited about it, because I already knew how it turned out.

It is. Since you're a straight, white man, (I presume), EVERYTHING you say is racist, discriminatory, or offensive, if the listener or reader WANTS to be offended by it.
(Yes Moderators, I'm at it again. Do what you must).

Again, like super-duper FACTORY Hydra-Shoks or Black Talons?
Most "experts", self proclaimed and paid, will say to use a round that Police use. Many departments use Hydra-Shoks, so I think that you would be good there. As for Black Talons, the public perception of them looks bad from all the hype, and they've been shown to not be all that great anyway.

This is a very dangerous assumption to make. A mobbed up, adrenaline and dope fueled lunatic is unlikely to see the world this way. No sane person attacks a AR15 equipped person with a skateboard. Yet it happened.
Of course there is the possibility of that happening, but I'm NOT going to start carrying an AR as my EDC. It's a gamble, but so's life these days.
I was, of course, referring to a gang of thugs on the prowl for easy prey. They'll likely look elsewhere rather than at me and my .45. Not that there aren't serious threats around here, but none of them want to be the first one shot just to prove that they're the baddest bro on the block.
A mobbed up, adrenaline and dope fueled lunatic, is a bit of a different story, but he too will likely fall to a .45 to the torso.
I still try to practice Not Being There if trouble DOES start, and I'll just have to do my best if it comes my way.

For all its faults, the world is a better place because of widespread access and use of the internet.

One case. From which Ayoob cherry-picked the message he wanted to make.
Not that he's been sponsored or anything like that.
Pretty much what I've always said about it. Ayoob has a LOT of institutional knowledge, but I've always thought that he's a bit full of himself. And Ayoob IS a paid "Professional Expert Witness".

TSA renewal

When traveling I used to use Hotels.com to book my rooms. Never had a problem. One year, during the Zombie Apocalypse, my friends daughter tested positive for Covid, and I had to delay my trip. They took care of changing my reservations, and they never charged my card for anything.
