Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770

Diverse people working together for a common goal. THAT'S the key.

I'll be the first to admit that Glocks are fine pistols. Probably 2/3rds of the nation's Police Forces use them. I don't like them. I still carry my 1911 or my Ruger NMV for EDC. I'm not a cop, and I never played one on TV. I'm just an old Marine who wants to be able to cover my butt, I don't need to take out the entire gang, just get clear.

Finally, Glock perfection.

Half a bubble off plumb maybe.

Damn global warming.

You need to cool off. No need to get hot under the collar about it.

Or being German?

I think that it was the Winter of '87-'88. I was stationed at NAS South Weymouth Massatoshits. Weymouth is South of Boston, Housing was in Quincy, about halfway between the two. I woke up to about a foot or so of new snow. They hadn't gotten around to clearing the streets yet, so I shifted my Jeep into 4X4 and headed off to the Base. I took Mass. Route 3 towards the base, as usual. It wasn't cleared either. Mass. 3, while not an Interstate, is a Limited Access Highway, so it's like one. Pretty much no traffic, except one set of tracks, which I followed. Before long, I caught up to the guy making them, a taxi cab. I followed him for a while, but he was going slower and slower. I finally downshifted and went around him, now being the one plowing the way. I reported for Duty on time, but about half the Squadron didn't make it in.

From Breitbart, Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) introduced legislation this week that would prevent states from banning rifles and/or shotguns that are legal federally. The legislation, the Second Amendment Guarantee Act (SAGA), would operate as a national preemption law, preventing states from banning firearms the federal government has not banned. Moreover, it would undo bans contained in laws like New York’s SAFE Act.

Back in about 1981, Jacksonville N.C. got hit with about 2 FEET of snow. Camp Lejune was pretty much shut down for a week or so. MPs were shuttled to the Guard Gates by Amtrack. (Not an actual image from that time).

One of my Gym T-shirts.

I probably would have taken a panel off the box then.

When I was tasked with such purpose, I took a picture of the previously obtained box with my phone, because I was knowledgeable enough to know what I was in for.

Forty, I have full confidence that you'll find plenty more. Just give it time. Give it time.

You already mention that you like the Arizona high country Flagstaff and Prescott. Since you're already IN Arizona it would be a lot less work than to move anywhere else. If you choose Prescott, you've got Uncle Forty Rod to show you around, AND you already know that Arizona is just about the most gun friendly state there is.

Think about the truck drivers out there. A standard box truck or trailer, whether a 27 ft pup, a 36, 40, 48, 53 OR 56 foot is as much as 13 feet off the ground. There is NO provision for the driver to climb on top of it to even attempt to clear it off. Yet the driver is liable for any damage caused by snow or ice flying off the trailer.

I don't think that you can much free-er. Open carry OR concealed carry with no permit, though a Shall Issue permit is available. Most cops, (that aren't new from somewhere else) don't have a problem with it. If you have a lifted vehicle, nobody cares. No helmet laws, (even though it IS a good idea). What ELSE are you looking for?

Because then you're not dependent on THEM to dig you out. Those types do NOT want you to be able to do for yourself. They want to take all your money, spend most of it on people who didn't earn it, give you a little of it back, THEN tell you how you should spend it.

I've experienced 4"-5" snow ZERO times in Tucson. A COUPLE times we had about an inch or so, but it left almost as fast as it showed up.

The pilot probably evacuated his bowels, but I'd bet that the other was just mistranslated from Russian.

You will.

We've got a 37% chance of rain today. Had to put the cab cover on the Jeep.

This it? https://www.gunpartscorp.com/products/488900
