Tell him you will let him see it, hold your thumb over the address. If that isn't acceptable tell him to eat shit and die.

I also would not give him a copy of anything. A CHL is not a requirement to purchase a gun here, just a valid state DL. Your CHL should not even come into question at any time. I'd tell him he can see your DL or go find your gun someplace else.

My gun used in a crime? Suck it.... I sold it per Ohio law. You figure out who did it.

Pocket pistol, deck of cards, and box of condoms. I'll shoot, win, or fuck what I need to survive.

I would not provide copies of anything. Bill of sale? Not a fan, but not a deal breaker. Tell him that you will be happy to show, but you are worried about ID theft and will not provide a copy.

Who gives a rats ass what anybody thinks in a negative way, its your life and your preparedness just might save your ass someday. Doomsday shit is dumb IMHO, put more power to them who choose to do so. Having a good stockpile of goods that have a long shelf life, plenty of drinking water or means to get fresh drinking water, plenty of ammo, and survival bags for family members is a very smart thing. I need to get my ass in gear, although I am not a total slacker.

Motor mount bolt broke off in my daughter's Buell Blast. Pulled the head so I could get the broken bolt out. I didn't get to finish it up until the next week. Put the head back on and buttoned her all up and tried to start it. The engine was seized - very weird. I finally pulled the plug and looked in the cylinder but couldn't see the top of the piston. There was some weird looking thing in there...looked just like... the shop rag I stuffed in the top of the cylinder to keep the dirt out the week before! Doh!

Well, it has been two months in the waiting. Along with my buddy, we both are starting our MSF class today and thru the weekend. So this will be interesting to say the least for me. But all good thou!

An 883 is a turd. Not too much bike for a noob, but if he is normal height or taller, he is gonna look like a monkey fucking a football riding a low. It's a bike made for people shorter than Todd.

He knows that. And I know it better than most since my brother was a Harley purchasing agent for 25 years. I knew it before the internet did. They were buying most of their engine parts in Korea before Al Gore invented the internet. Now that we have covered that, shame on you for not following the rules, we are trying to help someone out here.

It's cool, thanks Adam. Parent rides shotgun. Told her she can have the purse and the scrap money if she wins.

I'm still a cheap bastard and won't pay that much. Perhaps if I had more expensive firearms...

You all can thank me later, these look sick; http://sport.woot.com/plus/boyt-harness-gun-cases#

When you sell a firearm private in ohio the rule is to an ohio resident that isn't under a firearm disability. Seeing a CHL is an easy way to do your due diligence that they are not under a disability. I think that is why many people do it.

See bold above. You either dont have that much ammo or bought it a while ago when the prices were still good. Hell the cost of ammo now is like storing silver bars

My wife thinks i'm paranoid, but indulges me because storing water and ammo is relaively unobtrusive and inexpensive. Even when we have "no food" in the house and badly need to go shopping, there are enough cans of tuna, boxes of rice, etc. to feed my family for a week or more. that gives me 7-10 days to find other sources of food. The deer population being what it is in NEO, I'm not worried. I should learn how to dress a deer though... For water, I keep 3-4 days worth in gallon jugs purely for the sake of convenience. Melting snow or boiling creek water (within a mile of my house) are viable options in a true long-term emergency. Where I think people go beyond "thoughtful" and into "paranoid" is when they start building secondary structures to withstand _________ disaster. I'm not mentally fit to live in an underground box with my wife, a kid, and two dogs for any length of time, so what's the point? "super storm" Sandy was an eye-opener for many of my neighbors. We didn't need my generator for long, but it was on-loan to my parents' and their neighbors for a week thereafter, powering refridgerators and the occasional microwave.

I think investing in some training wheels would be money better spent. BOOM! Check please!

Show ID, no copies of anything. If he/she feels the need to create thier own rules, walk.

Back in 06, after selling my 02 Ninja 250, I purchase an 03 636. After a couple of weeks of riding it my buddy and I are headed to Iron Pony. We are on Dempsy Rd heading towards Westerville Rd and I take off hard from a stop light, getting it up to 80 or so. I realized that I now had the ability (or so I thought) to do a roll on Whoolie. We get to Westerville Rd and I tell him I am gonna do a wheelie as soon as we get going. He laughs and says ok, but I am not stopping if you crash. Needless to say I picked the bike up no problem, it came up so fast the tank hit me in the chest and knocked the wind out of me. I slammed that front end down so hard I thought for sure I broke the forks. The bike was ok, but I def lost some pride in front of a long line of cars in stopped traffic that day.

My parents wouldnt let me get a mini/dirt bike when I was a kid...so this fueled my desire for motorcycles even more. This desire would lead me to bad decisions...decisions to ride or go for a ride on ANY of my friends' motorcycles at any time. So, my buddy had this Honda XR70 maybe...no brakes with a sticky throttle. He said he'd take me for a ride on it. So, we ride thru the streets of my neighborhood, around the block and we're returning to his house. Throttle sticks as we approach an intersection. We blow the stop sign, we're going too fast to make the 90 degree left. We jump the curb and crash full speed in to a row of bushes. He breaks his foot, I walk away with a headache. No helmets and definitely nothing on but shorts and a tshirt. I was probably 12. My parents still hate my motorcycles.

Pretty good write up in the Dispatch today. http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2013/06/20/warm-weather-calls-bikers-so-watch-out.html

I'm not as prepared as I'd like to be, but there's no harm in being ready for whatever might happen. It's not so much crazy as it is phobic, imo. There are folks out there that spend hundreds of thousands ( or more ) on underground bunkers, piles of weaponry, rations for years, and months of training/drills.....apparently they either have a lot to live for, or their OCD has NO bounds I don't really see a way to be truly prepared for all catastrophic events since prepper products are no good if they're submerged and swept away in a flood, or burnt to dust from nuclear attack. What I do agree with is if you've got the funds to invest into being more prepared, it's a virtual insurance that would surely increase your chances of survival. So, I agree with the prepper mentality to "some" degree.....but only within my means. I believe preparedness should be used to sustain life at some point, not become one's lifestyle

If I was prepping I wouldn't tell. This way no one will come after what I don't have

People who thought the patriot act was a doorway to domestic spying were considered paranoid once. Do I think something is going to happen that will warrant the use of emergency supplies? No. That doesn't mean being prepared for it is paranoid or crazy.

glad to hear things are looking up!

AMEN!

He said pee not sperm

Even a broken clock is right twice a day

having an emergency supply isnt crazy if you ask me. Being on Doomsday preppers IS somewhat crazy. The older I get though, the more I think who gives a fuck what other people do if its not harmful to themselves or the general public. If it makes them happy to do these things then so be it

You should know that State Farm as all insurance is simple logic based statistics. I'm surprised you don't pay more especially since you admit to having a claim about 3 years ago. Shop around and I would guess state farm would be cheaper. They aren't negotiable just because you want them to be. They out your info in the system and out pops your rate. It may go up and down as their logical statistics change.

Last year took my new-to-me Subaru to the base auto hobby shop for it's first oil change by me, put it up on the lift, drained some dark black fluid, lowered it back down and put the recommended amount of oil in. Started it up and drove it out the garage. Almost immediately it was having a really hard time shifting and would hang in neutral for a few seconds. After about 200 yards I realized the huge fuck up I had done: I'd drained the transmission and doubled up on oil... Carefully pushed it back to the garage and onto a lift. Checked the oil and sure enough, there was WAAAAY too much. Had to call a friend to take me down to Wagner Subaru at 4pm to pick up 5 new quarts of Subie tranny fluid, swing by and grab another 5qts of Mobil 1, and head back to fill up the tranny, drain nearly 10q of half bad, half brand new Mobil 1 out of the engine. Best part was getting to do all this over the course of 3-4 hours in front of a bunch of other guys working on their cars and the staff mechanics at the hobby shop. That was the last time I bothered doing my own car oil changes.

Hoping for a full recovery!

Forgot to unset parking brake on my mustang before doing rear pads.. Thought caliper was seized on and hammered it off... Only to realize I had the brake set... Had to buy new caliper after... /facepalm

pray and hope every thing works out well.

God Bless your family

Thought and prayers. Hope you get good news.

Hoping for the best possible recovery to your Dad, bro.....if you need anything, you have my number sir. Please tell me he kept it on 2 wheels......would be horrid news if he didnt Ah, just caught that "road bike" meant bicycle......forgot he's an avid bicyclist.......keep us posted man

Prayers sent buddy.

May God bless you and your family!

Alan we are here for you, your family is in my prayers.

Just successfully spanked it to the pics of your bike. I finished on the cat so she can clean it up. That frees me up to creep among my sleeping neighbors houses to see what I can steal and hock to afford this gorgeous machine....do you know anyone that wants to buy some nice new white babies? We can work something out, ill throw in a slightly sticky cat to close the deal. Pm me soon, these stupid babies won't eat beef jerky or baloney sammiches and they make a lot of noise.
