How much would he want for the frame and title?

It was $90 plus tax, so I walked out of there with the gun and a couple packs of ammo for $115. I've started looking at some of the upgrades available, and I think this might suck up extra income like my motorcycle addiction. I'm excited to fire it, anyone know any good ranges around Columbus? Photos as Promised: Before cleaning Broken down, note the service tool. Dad starting to help. Manufacturing Year AND the Hammer & Sickle Cleaned up and Reassembled.

Equals me buying a Mosin-Nagant. A buddy of mine loved his, a few people at the show that I talked to, loved theirs, and the price was right. Just spent the night breaking it down, and cleaning it up. Looks pretty good. Dad was pretty excited, and pulled down his cleaning kit for me to use, and before to long, had pulled up a chair to "watch." And then he grabbed the bolt and a rag and started cleaning it. I'll post photos soon.

Actually I think I do. How much do you need?

Bike looks good! Just re-started my EX-500 project, this provides a little more inspiration! When do we get to try the beer?

Guns in Public, And Out of Sight. via the NY Times Interested in everyone's thoughts. Also, does anyone have any counter-evidence?

Unfortunately in pro-am and professional cameras, "good" and "cheap" are mutually exclusive. The Canon Rebel series is a good DSLR. Used ones are available, but I'd just buy a package deal for a new one. You're only looking at a few hundred dollars in difference and it's money well spent. Cord Camera on Fifth Avenue in Grandview has some decent deals on used camera bodies. Although they can be a little strange at times, they're very helpful and knowledgeable. If you can stomach hipster attitude, Midwest Photo Exchange on High Street has some decent deals as well. You're probably going to drop $400 to $500 on a body and decent lens. And don't go cheap on the lens, buy the best you can afford. It's a good investment, if you're worried about her growing out of it: Buy a Fuji Fine Pix. It's a high-end point and shoot camera. It has almost every feature of a DSLR, minus the ability to change lenses and a few other differences. But she'll get near professional looking shots out of it, can figure out if she really wants to be a photographer, and you'll only be out $300 to $400 (but you'll have a camera you can use for yourself if she doesn't like it!). You can see it's more about composition than anything else, there's a little more noise in the FUJI photograph than in the Canon. FUJI Fine Pix Photo: Canon Rebel XS:

For me, the big thing is restricting the wind. As long as I don't have wind rushing into my jacket and pants I'm not really cold. I think you'll be good with heated gloves and a liner, provided you can keep the wind out. Also, Carhart is another good investment for winter riding.

Being an avid outdoorsman and riding deep into the winter months here's what I know: Cold feet and hands are the worst thing in the world. Throw on one extra layer than you think you need. You can always take it off later. Even with a liner, air rushing into my jacket ruined the ride. Get a set of heated gauntlet, style gloves. Make sure they're long enough to stay over your jacket cuff when you're leaned over on the bike. Also get a bacalava, one with enough material to tuck deep into your jacket. Under armor cold weather gear is a good idea (make sure it's non-compression or it gets uncomfortable) as well. Campmor.com always has great deals on base layers and socks. My buddy has a set of rechargeable, battery powered heated gloves. He swears by them. Added bonus: you don't need to mess with your bike's wiring at all!

I believe those now fall under Federal jurisdiction, given how much weed is involved in many of those cases. Federal jurisdiction, federal enforcement.

States do control those laws. Why do you think Jim Crow laws were upheld for so long South of the Mason-Dixon Line? Or the fact that I can't write in any presidential candidate on an Ohio ballot? There are Federal firearm requirements, but look at the firearm laws of Ohio versus New Jersey. Or consider Arizona passing it's own anti-immigration laws. The Supremacy Clause doesn't allow a State to make it's own treaty with a foreign power and prohibits other situations where a conflict of interest can occur between a state and the Federal Government. In those situations only, the Federal Law takes precedence. Federal Law is still enforced though, because a States Rule of Law only extends to the States border. Ohio law isn't applicable in Michigan. There are certain things a state can't do that the Fed can, and vice versa. That's why Federal Agencies need to be asked by the state to intervene, a state of emergency must be declared (by the state leader), or a Federal Law must be broken (the "juris-my-diction bull shit" that we see in cop movies all the time). Despite the hype, the Federal Government has a very limited role in the actual day to day government. Which is good because they can only screw up a few things, instead of everything.

Actually I think that a State's laws do supersede Federal laws. The actual power that the Federal government has over states is (legally and constitutionally) fairly small. For example, Federal lawyers had to use the Interstate Commerce Act to enforce legal action against Southern companies who wouldn't hire blacks. They also use grant money with specific requirements to get states to enforce the Americans with Disabilities Act. If a state builds disability friendly sidewalks and other improvements, they get Federal money for schools. If this law stands up as Constitutional, which I doubt, don't be surprised if Louisiana starts to lose Federal funding and grant monies.

She landed an elbow across my chin once. I won't lie, it got me. I didn't see stars, but it rates as one of the harder hits I've taken, and that includes the few years I played rugby.

No, she's one of those all around great girls that drinks beer and loves football. Plus she has a black belt in karate.

If you've got to ask you can't afford her.

Maybe run some diagonal bracing in the center of the larger openings? It seems like this might flex across it's length (fork to fork). A little over-engineering wouldn't hurt.

The video is reason #6,493,583 why Tom Selleck is the man. Also having now read through the entire thread, we've not learned anything except some people have been in some shit, and were glad they had guns. Some were in some shit, and didn't need guns. Some people avoided the shit, and we all agree that a little black on black lesbian 69 is the shit. My two cents: When I was 18 I collapsed both of my lungs, one and then the other. A few weeks after I got out of the hospital, I was out seeing a movie with some friends. We were walking to our cars, and some guys started giving me shit. So I flipped them off, they circled around and tried to block my car in, but the spot in front of mine was open, so I flipped them off again, pulled through and drove over to the restaurant. They followed me over, and started circling the parking lot. One came in and threatened to kick our asses. But then they left when they realized how many were in my group. When I told my dad the story, I mentioned I was worried about being unarmed and still recovering from the surgery, he stopped me and said: "You've got any number of things you can use as a weapon. From your hands and feet to your keys to the tire iron in your trunk." That stuck with me; that I'm never unarmed. And if I am, it means I can't reach something, and I have no arms, legs, teeth or a head. Dad also told me, I should never get into a fight, but if it happens hit first, hit hard and hit to win. In those situations, there's no reason to fight fair. Second story: I'm a bartender, and a customer asked me what I would do if someone got out of hand. "Keep them from getting out of hand" was my response. "But what if they freak out? And they come after you?" "Then they get a liquor bottle to the head." I've only had two fights almost start while I was bartending. I stopped both of them before they could happen because I was paying attention to what was going on. I've had one guy get in my face, and he wouldn't back down until I quietly asked him if he was willing to go to jail over a $2.00 beer. He walked out after that and I've never seen him since. Most of the time nothing happens, because I'm always watching and making sure everyone is having a good time. I had one potentially bad situation, when there was only me and one customer, and he had that "look." 1000rrrider is right, some people just have a look. Whatever it was something bothered me about him. So I started talking to him as much as possible, maintained a lot of eye contact, and made sure my body language didn't say "please, murder me in a grotesque satanic ritual of some kind." He had a beer, and then left. I can't remember if he tipped or not. I guess all I'm saying is this: Being aware of what's going on around you is a big part of staying safe, whoever said they don't listen to anything when they go walking so they can hear what's going on around them is smart. Staying calm and confident helps quite a bit as well when you need to diffuse a situation. But sometimes things just go wrong. In those situations, you have to act. If that means using a gun, then use the gun. But be prepared for the consequences, and more importantly be prepared to accept them. To the OP, you're doing the right thing though, just thinking about why and when you might need a gun. You have to figure it out for yourself. On another note: Supposedly, Siam warriors had a perch on their armor for a cat. When they rushed an enemy they would fling the cat at an enemies face. Either the enemy had to swing their weapon at the cat, which left him vulnerable or he caught a face full of pissed off Siamese claws and fangs. Either way, they were distracted long enough for a Siam warrior to close the distance and then kill the distracted warrior. Again:

Check out Oregon Cycle Parts for a new Reg/Rec. Why sell the bike for the cost of a hundred dollar part?

Make sure to check for shorts and/or warm lines as well. Also, clean your ground connection(s). If that all fails, there's a new shop in Grandview that might be worth checking out.

If you get a chance, stop at the Town Trolley in Huntsville (ST Rt 117, off of 33). I know the owners, good ice cream, good food.

Try Oregon Motorcycle Parts, the guy has a no-bullshit guarantee, and his prices are awesome. I haven't used his stuff personally, but a few friends have and all were impressed with them

What do you need done?

If you keep overusing that image it will lose it's effectiveness. Granted, it hasn't stopped any president from Nixon onwards, but there really is supposed to be a declaration of war from Congress.

Of course it does, because at that point America wouldn't be so different in action from North Korea. Not really, but a good attempt. To begin with you're currently acting as an individual at this point, not as part of a legitimate, uniformed military unit. Secondly, since you're not a part of a unit in this situation, you don't have any orders that have been issued to you. Thirdly, war has not been declared on the Tea Party by the United States Government.

True, unless the protest groups had been deemed "un-patriotic" or "enemies of the state." At that point a true American and patriot wouldn't stop firing. Which is exactly what will happen should a revolt break out in the US, the revolutionaries will be deemed "terrorists," "traitors," and "insurrectionists." No longer Americans, the armed forces will be free from the guilt of firing on their own. It's difficult to disobey an order doming down the established chain of command.
