Last plate for my trailer cost $19.50 Not really worth the risk of getting pulled over and ticketed......

Isn't it so ironic that our nation has helped put so many other countries on a path to democracy, we have been key to the fall of communism and socialist regimes all over the world and yet here we sit with elected leaders who believe in those ideas our fathers fought against, protected us against and in many cases died, in multiple wars. We apparently lost without a shot fired or a fist raised. Well at least till next election......... Assuming that good, honest, hard working americans get out and vote instead of just assuming enough like minded people will do it for them like they did the last time.....

Yep... he argues for the tobacco companies and makes seemingly valid points about the benefits of smoking. just like people make seemingly valid points about big government, excessive spending and socialized programs. Sorta like Obama did with the stimulus package and all the bail outs. Every reasonable person knew it was BS....... well the results are in......... smoking isnt healthy and neither is big government spending...... Both are pretty much a cancer on society........ It was a good flick!

Very fitting.... very true!

That seems to be what this administration is all about. Everything they do is designed to trigger a slide into socialism. I've had to stop watching the news lately.... it just makes me sick to think our country has degraded this far........

Ive worked for the government and for the private sector. I know how both do business. In the private sector, when considering the purchase of new equipment (like the latest CAT scan) Its a must because they know it brings new customers who pay real money which makes them a PROFIT (their main concern) The Government views things a little differently. They have a budget to work with and this budget allows them to treat XXXX amount of people. If they spend a large portion of that budget on a new CAT scan machine then they only have enough left to treat XXX people. So the new equipment gets put on hold. A side affect of this is when there is no private sector market, the people who research and develop this fancy life saving equipment, stop! there is no money in it anymore, you cant sell enough so R&D just stops........ Do we really want that? Do we want the Gov to prop up the R&D sector too? and then prop up their suppliers? and so on down the line? The private sector goes where the need is and that works, its built the best system on earth. I dont see a reason, not a single one, to change to a system that fails for the majority just so you can include a minority of people into said failure

Finally! I was able to buy 1 box of 9mm corto (same as .380) Its some foreign brand I cant pronounce but its brass and hollow point so.... Anyway, 1 box of 25...... $9.99...... At least I can try shooting this new gun now....

^^^ I bought some 7mm Rem mag about 7 years ago..... they are marked $15.99 from walmart......... I priced em on the net the other day at over $60 a box......... Its freakin crazy!

Ah.... the dems wiil keep on spending till the Gov falls and we're all starving and the UN will come in and feed us all in return for our accepting their laws and rules as the prop up a government that bows to them under a one world government.............. At least thats what the conspiracy theory I read today said.......

This should bring out some more people to compete for what IS available..........

Yep agreed..... insure it and forget it.........

Welcome Mr. 1st post!

Is the .380 the same round as the 9mm kurtz? If so is that just as hard to get?

Proof that sometimes the "news" is Good!

I'm sure I'll find it eventually. I hate to drive too far just for ammo. I'm not in a real big hurry but it kinda stinks to buy a new gun and not be able to shoot it right off. I'm thinking that pretty soon the market will be flooded with ammo.....IDK, I could be wrong........

I bought this little Kel-Tec .380 a week ago. The place I bought it didnt have any ammo for it at the time I purchased it. I've stopped in 3 other stores and still no ammo...... People buying and hording ammo..... how long can it last? I mean sooner or later, it looks like everyone is gonna want to sell. Do you think the price is at some point gonna drop like a rock?

In Scioto county you can just show up and turn in the application, they fingerprint you and photograph you and then you wait and see if you get it or not. It takes about 30 to 45 days to find out.

Here is the most honest review I've seen from a guy who knows bikes. (quote):I am a Honda dedicated person , 14 hondas to date , recent ones 929, 954 . So here is my review after 3 months and 2500 miles on the 08 1000. 1--First off it uses oil , about 5 ounces for every 500 miles, varies depending on how hard you ride it. 2--They should fire the person that designed the tab style hook together body work. 3--there is a painted panel under the rear of the bike that is unprotected from spinoff debris from the rear tire, and mine is scarred with numerous rock chips, bad design. 4--the paint is cheap and gets chips easily, I had my 954 for 6 years and road the **** out of it(45K miles) and it had only a few chips on the front and barely showed, the new bike after one trip had 3 good chips on the front fairing and numerous marks on the lower fairings right behind the front tire, 5--I paid good money for the seat cowl and found it is a cheap piece of plastic (although the color match was perfect I had to cut rubber thingys and make a template and all kinds of rediculous **** to put it on and guess what the rubber tabs on the back fell off after one day of riding. 6--the stock exhaust where the black part was, discolored after 250 miles and turned kinda white. 7--The first day I had the bike I decided to put a new windscreen on it, you know dark smoke to make it look cool and one of the lower tabs just crumbled as I removed the stock windscreen. I decided this was also a poor design and broke off the other tab also and drilled holes in the fairing and added two more stays. 8-- the rear hugger as I have heard is designed to protect the rear shock from debris , but if you lay a simple straight edge across the plane it only protects half of the rear protuding nitrogen cylinder as mine is sandblasted half way up. Now the important stuff , when I get on the bike I forget about all this stuff as the bike is the best handling and most responsive bike I have ever riden in my entire life it just simply handles like a dream and has incredible and controlable power. I just wish that honda isn't going to abandon there fit and finish for performance to keep up with the other bikes as they have seem to do on this bike. If Honda does not return to their expertiese in fit and fit and finish I will not buy another one, I think the 2010 model will be much better as they know about this **** and will acknowledge most of it but they need to sell bikes and this is not like honda to skimp as they have on this bike in the fit and finish department and they also know about the oil consumption issue but I am sure they will not are willing to issue a recall for all the bikes they have sold cause of the massive costs, but if they did then I may have the restored respect in Honda. In the end I still love this bike but it should be better by Honda standards of the past.

Early 08's had more trouble than late 08's so check dates....... even so, everyone on my CBR forum agree its the best bike they have ever been on. They say it handles better than the 600 with all the oomff of a 1000. Nobody I know of would trade for anything else....... that kinda says it all....... Myself, I'm happy enough with my 07, I'll wait a couple more years..........

This whole thread is cracking me up..... I love it

Uh............ just.... wow.... lol

Voted!

Ok, I went to an outdoor range today and started playing! In the course of half a box of Remington metal round nose I adjusted my rear sight upward about 6 clicks and its dead on at 10 yards. I then ran another half box of winchester jhp's thru.... I'm impressed with this gun!!! Oh, and these Tritium night sights.....I freakin love them...... I'm like a kid in a candy store here.... LOL I hope to get a lil more serious with it soon....

It started out as $1299.99 I got a 10% discount because I took a CCW class there. So it wound up around $1170 something plus tax.

Good story, excellent writer..... Thanks for sharing again!
