  1. FF & F had 300 packs for $25 last week. That's the best I've in stores for awhile. Federal 500 packs USED to be $14.99 everywhere. I don't think we're going to see those prices again. The ammo manufacturers, retailers, and internet price gougers seem to like the higher prices.
  2. I owned a house in Parma for 12 years. Yes, most my neighbors were old white people. I was happy in Parma for the most part. We left to get away from the schools and ridiculous taxes & utilities in Cuyahoga County.
  3. Is it rated to handle hot .44 mag loads? S&W revolvers, for example, can't handle .44 +p+.
  4. I have the 3.5 in my Flex. It's an easy motor to live with. I like it a lot better than 4.2 that was in my trailblazer.
  5. Unlikely that it's bad gas, but it's easy enough to rule out. You could also check for a pinched fuel line or a bad fuel filter.
  6. I've thought about a Lincoln for my next ride.
  7. It's EXTREMELY risky to have half of you portfolio in one stock. It may seem like a good idea, until it's not.
  8. It's not a loophole at all and quite intentional. It's the same logic as inheriting your father's gun collection.
  9. I max out 401k and a Roth IRA every year. I am willing to have 10% of my portfolio invested invested in some risky assets as long as there is sufficient upside. Oil for example. I won't take wild chances but I've made some calculated plays.
  10. Dutch driving instructors can now legally accept sex as payment for driving lessons. http://www.cnn.com/2015/12/21/europe/driving-lessons-sex-netherlands/index.html
  11. Learning to invest in oil goes a little like this
  12. Oil is the most difficult investment I've attempted. There are many, many factors and players that can manipulate prices as they wish. I made some money on oil in 2014 and 2015, but nothing particularly impressive. I expect oil will go up and down in 2016. So money can be made...and lost. I wouldn't "buy and hold" oil anytime soon. Not until you think either OPEC will cut production or middle east problems will raise prices.
  13. I have a few clients that are major defense contractors. I suspect defense, nat'l security, and anti terrorism stocks will do just fine in 2016
  14. All I need is a deck of cards. I'll win everything I need
  15. 2015 was a tough year for investing. Even Warren Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway is down about 13% for the year. Is anyone planning to make any significant changes to their investment strategy for 2016? Has anyone been investing in oil or plan to for 2016? Any thoughts on sectors that may be gaining or losing strength?
  16. I have an SR22. I've taught many people to people to shoot with it. They're accurate, reliable, and fun to shoot.
  17. I haven't ridden one but I'd like to demo the faired version. I expect it to be much more capable than the Fz and a bit better than the Z1000.
  18. I like Keltec designs but their quality is hit or miss. I still own one but had to get rid of a few that I couldn't trust even after multiple trips back to.the factory.
  19. You can't go wrong with a G17.
  20. Perhaps you understand the way surveys and margin of error work. Perhaps not. Suggesting that there were translations issues that skewed data without bothering to read how the interviews were conducted seems a little disingenuous. It seems that you are trying hold the data to an impossible standard of acceptance. That's fine. You don't need to believe it.
  21. The group that produced the video used the findings from Pew Research. Pew published what you are looking for and much more...sample sizes, survey methodology, margin of error, etc, etc. You can accept it as good data or not. It makes no difference to me. Again, if you have a better source feel free to share it.
  22. Kahr triggers are some of my favorites. I'm selling the CW9 to get one of the all steel Elite models.
