I’ve always wanted a bright red pickup truck ever since I was a kid and I’ve never had one yet!🙄
I've got a bright red Jeep.

If I'm concealing, which is usually just for a quick trip, I'll stick a Taurus 85 in the right front pocket of my jeans. If I'm going somewhere, it's usually my 4 5/8" stainless RNV in .45 Colt in the same holster I used to shoot Cowboy. I nearly always get complimented on it. Even the LEOs I encounter love it.
If not that, Bigmouth my 1911 on my right hip.

Re background checks: we have background checks to confirm we match the requirements put forth by gun control laws to be permitted the exercise of a Right.
If you can't do it to voting why can you do it to Arms?
Because if they WERE to do it for voting, the other side wouldn't be able to cheat.
Moderators, if this is once again too far, please delete it, but not the whole thread. Thank You.

If I were in that situation, I'd probably give each one of them a $2500 gift certificate from my favorite gun store.
Besides, I think that while a parent can gift their own children a gun, I don't know if you could a niece or nephew. That might be considered a "straw purchase" by the BATFE. Especially 35 of them.

The tailhook is normally in a stowed position, deployed only for a Carrier Landing. Aircraft land on the Carrier at full throttle just in case they DO miss the wire. That allows them to relaunch to go around and try again.

I honestly don't believe i'm old, just high mileage.
Indiana Jones said it best, "It's not the years, it's the mileage." Of course, in my case anyway, it's a combination of the two.

I responded to that fire. I never went back to the park after that,
My Dad took me there several times when I was quite young,
You would be disappointed. Your Dad would have been too.

If someone does save it, I hope that they can bring it back to the type of place it was before the '95 fire. When they rebuilt it, they turned it into the New Old Tucson Theme Park. My wife, who had worked there some time before, (remind me to tell you about the time she gave Emilio Estevez a dressing down during the filming of "Young Guns"), and I went to see it after the Grand Reopening and were so disappointed we've never been back.

Was at a class, perhaps more of a workshop, this weekend for Personal Protection In The Home. Gave in to admitting to a friend (the instructor) I need to get bifocals. Had to keep flipping between readers for the book and distance glasses for the projection screen. Why have I not got them until new? "I don't want to look old!"
She told me "Too late." Ordered them today. Will get them in a couple weeks assuming I live that long.

About 1990, age about 46, fly fishing for McLoud rainbow trout in Crane Creek, Missouri. Sunset, my pupils dilated, lost the pinhole camera effect, and had to quit fishing because I could not see well enough to tie a size 20 midge on a 1 lb. tippet.I wore my first pair of bifocals two weeks later.
I've worn glasses since 7th Grade. I first got Contact Lenses at 30. I started having the "far or near but not both" problem in my mid 40s. After a few years of carrying Reading glasses, I started cheating. I got my Optometrist, (who's also a shooter), to prescribe contacts a power lower for distance than was optimal. I can see distance well enough, but unless I'm reading a book or medicine bottles, I can see close up fine too. I can read okay, it's just a book requires more attention.

I always figured that "old" had some graduating ages involved.
AARP starts sending their crap in the mail when you're ready to turn 50.
At age 55 you can move into a retirement facility.
At age 59 1/2, collect money from qualified retirement accounts.
60 just sounds a lot older than 50.
Age 62 one can begin collecting Social Security.
65, medicare mandate is here.
72 to 75, age dependent is RMDs.
After that, just keep celebrating every day.
I'm 72, and am striving to KEEP getting older as long as I can.

Did they call Geronimo “Gerry” ?

He probably heard it from Forty Rod. He was probably there when Geronimo surrendered for the last time.

In the clip we have Picard talking to Spock's mother and father.
But wait, you say. That might not be Amanda.
That's not Amanda. That's Sarek's second wife, Perrin. He married another human. In that Episode, Sarek is near 200 years old. He's suffering from Bendii Syndrome, the Vulcan equivalent to Alzheimer's.
I've NO idea about the video game.

Bringing hand strength up again, don't forget an old favorite, the Beretta 86 Cheetah, the .380 with a tip up barrel. Girsan makes a modernized clone of it too.

What I found was a block of firewood thrown through the drivers door window of my pickup...

About 3 or 4 years ago I had a similar incident. I went out side one Sunday morning to find the Driver's window of my truck shattered. I have motion detectors and security cameras, but the alarm didn't trigger, and playback of the camera showed nothing.
Where the truck is parked there is an 8 ft. Block wall seperating my property from a dry wash. The wall keeps the bums out. The only thing I could figure out was that one of those no good #&**@ blindly threw a rock over the wall and managed to hit the window of my truck. No rhyme or reason for it, I hadn't had any contact with any of them for a long while.

No.
I should have not "told" you what you want - that was presumptuous.
Don't give it another thought. We've all got our hot buttons. And you were correct, as others have pointed out. National reciprocity for a CCW, like a Driver's License is, I believe, what we all would prefer.

The last thing in the world you want is a National Concealed Carry Permit.
What you want is nationwide recognition and reciprocity for your state issued permit.
I guess that I worded that poorly.

I'd say that it would be a fine thing. However, some sort of background would have to remain. My suggestion would be to reference the buyers National Concealed Carry Permit.

I've read a story about Wyatt Earp, that said that the reason he went through the gunfights he did and remained unscathed was the he wore a heavy spider silk vest.

Now if there actually was a plastic explosive called composition 3 - and it was not something that they invented for the movie - then logic says they could make a change in the formula, and this new plastic explosive would be composition 4 - c4.
Now whether they have "improved" it once again and have composition 5 or not I don't know.From Wikipedia: Composition C-3 is an obsolete U.S. military plastic explosive consisting of 77% to 85% RDX and a liquid nitro-compound plasticizer. It was developed during World War II as an improvement over earlier plastic explosives, but it was later replaced by Composition C-4 because it became brittle in cold weather and degraded at high temperatures.
If I were guessing, C-5 would be C-4 that has been Naquida enhanced.

but that skinny blond boy on the right looks like pictures of me when I was 8 years old.
Anybody here listen to Country Music back in the '80s? Randy Travis' video to his song "Forever and Ever Amen" had a kid, probably 7-8 years old. The first time I saw that video, I swore that it was ME! Here's a still from it:
THAT could have been me at that age. (No, it wasn't, I was in my 30s at the time.)

They are required to get into the grandkids plays or ballgames here. It is an antitheft measure by the school district, no handling of cash.
For things like that, as well as for everyday spending, I'd use a Debit card.

did not want to sidetrack the carry gun thread
in SASS Wire Saloon

Many years ago, Kurt Russell was on one of the late night talk shows, and the subject of Hollywierd's hatred of guns came up. Kurt was talking about the Rodney King riots, and that many Hollywierd types that you would never expect were calling him because they knew that he was armed, and they wanted to know if he'd loan them a gun because they were afraid that the riots would come their way. He told them that all his guns were busy.
