      Major 2nd Amendment Victory in California.

      Wonder if anyone has estimated just how much money (on both sides) has been spent in the last decade settling lawsuits for clearly unconstitutional laws.

      Daves gun shop raided by atf in lafayette la

      I haven't really followed any of this at all and so have no idea what is going on (which obviously means I'll inject my opinion!). I vote a change of law - people charged with illegal gun sales have two options for sentencing: 1. Prison 2. A plane ticket to Russia or a military conflict zone of...

      Update on Carry in WMAs

      It's felt like that for me more than once. When I first started I was confused about the primitive vs. rifle rules, and asked a game warden at Sherburne. Archery that year at the Sherburne WMA said either sex all through the season after October, while rifle had several periods of bucks only. He...

      Mandatory inspection stickers could be eliminated

      This and continuing education hit home for me. Paying the state for the privilege of doing my private sector job, as well as paying a testing facility for 24 CE hours of rehashed nonsense that has nothing to do with my job, because of course there aren't any USEFUL courses on more advanced...

      Worm Farm

      A little too redneck for me. Don't want a rusting refrigerator in my yard. Nothing can survive the fires of hades inside my shed. I put a window unit in it a few years back to try and make working in there bearable. Still hotter than my kitchen range.

      Worm Farm

      As I get more into fishing I'm interested in keeping a worm farm to avoid the ridiculous cost of nightcrawlers. I have no garden so not looking at a composting setup. I have a shaded awning where I'm wondering if I can keep them in a sterilite bin, throw in scraps like eggshells, coffee and...

      Update on Carry in WMAs

      Reading my replies, I sound kinda whiny. I still agree with myself, but in an annoyed kind of way. Yea that's dumb. Campgrounds on WMAs are often primitive and abut game areas. I am not walking into the treeline unarmed to relieve myself only to get killed by a hog. Almost no one trains...

      The Moon sabotages Solar Panel grid

      Reliably unreliable?

      Best way to kill raccoons and opossums?

      I don't hate them in general, but I did have a running feud with a particular one at a WMA that broke into my gear and tried to eat my creamer. Getting between a man and his morning coffee is a bad idea. I tried very hard to murder it the next couple nights, but it seemed to know to beeline in...

      Best way to kill raccoons and opossums?

      Thanks for the the replies everyone. No I wasn't planning poison. Again, pets and kids in the neighborhood. I do have chickens, as does a neighbor (whose rooster keeps getting in my yard), but that's not been a concern. The neighbors' cats apparently picked a fight with it, and it's fought...

      Best way to kill raccoons and opossums?

      Have a raccoon and an opossum that terrorize the neighborhood (kids playing and neighbors have outdoor cats). Found the raccoon out in the open today and shot it with my crossbow, but only have mechanical heads and field points. Wanted to avoid shooting it with a firearm as I'm literally on the...

      Cancelled my USCCA membership today…

      I'd have to go back and check to confirm as I do a lot more commercial than residential claims, but from all the residential liability claims I've worked over the years I don't believe it's all that uncommon. In fact that language is the default in the HO-00-03-05-11-1, which many HO-3 policies...

      NOLA Wants to Exclude French Quarter From Concealed Carry Without Permit.

      How can you be so heartless?! Think of the children! How can anyone look at this image and NOT agree with Everytown that this is terrifying: Can you even imagine getting shot with an entire cartridge?!

      Cancelled my USCCA membership today…

      My biggest irritation with that guy was this video: Where he repeatedly lumped CCW Safe in with USCCA without doing any research, considering CCW Safe's language includes covering criminal trial defense costs regardless of a conviction, including appeals and retrials.

      Cancelled my USCCA membership today…

      Sorta kinda. It's also defined in policies as "Expected Or Intended Injury". But in an open perils policy there is generally a provision stating: Exclusion: "Bodily injury" or "property damage" which is expected or intended by an "insured", even if the resulting "bodily injury" or "property...

      Constitutional Carry Bill SB1 will be RS? (Now going to be the Law!)

      What are the new laws on this? For CCW we have an obligation to notify the officer we're carrying, so I'm assuming there is some provision in the bill that anyone conceal carrying without a license also has a duty to report? (haven't read it yet myself)

      Constitutional Carry Bill SB1 will be RS? (Now going to be the Law!)

      I don't think it's that. I think it's a combination of the opioid epidemic, crackdowns and arrests, profiling, resulting distrust of law enforcement, preponderance of felons and a general association of guns with gangbangers. The opioid epidemic wasn't all that long ago, an extremely large...

      Fishing Pole & Kit Recommendation

      This is EXACTLY the kind of thing I'm most confused about - what bait to use. There are just so many to choose from I'm completely lost!

      Fishing Pole & Kit Recommendation

      Wow lots to absorb here. Appreciate all the info, especially from you Bolt Head! Considering my ignorance, think I'll go with the higher-end suggestions from you, hopefully avoid beginner issues in the process while learning the ropes.
