As I've said previously I sold off all of my guns quite some time ago, mainly to help protect my children and give my wife and I some peace of mind over the issue. (I didn't have and could not afford a gun safe at the time), we had lost most all of the shooting ranges in my area, and at the one or two that were left police would spot check shooters to insure compliance with state laws on transporting firearms and issuing tickets for "improper storage during transport" (intimidating shooters). Around here open pit sand & gravel mining is common and there were several that allowed shooting in the pits; but those days are over, Maryland made the land owner directly responsible for any accidents occurring on their land through court case rulings, so the pits closed to shooters. The only way we can fire our weapons that I know of at this time is to own a sizable piece of property or join a Sportsman's club for $$$$ a year. Here is something I found on http://apps.carryconcealed.net/legal/maryland-ccw-state-laws.php about my state, which I have never been happy with...... [[[Maryland is not a traditional open carry state. However, should you be wealthy or connected enough to get one of the rare Maryland carry permits, Maryland law makes no distinction between open and concealed carry. But this would almost certainly result in the loss of the permit [[[??]]]. We consider Maryland to be one of the top 5 rights restricted states in the union. Please see http://opencarry.org/]]] [[[Right-To-Carry Law Type: Restrictive May Issue. The "may issue" is more often "no way". The categories for "may issue" are: making [[[bank]]] deposits; receiving money or cash flow [[[from banks]]]; professional activities like doctors or pharmacies; correctional officers; former police officer; private detective and personal protection. For personal protection there must be documented evidence of recent threats, robberies, and/or assaults, supported by official police reports or notarized statements from witnesses [[[not accepted on face value, each witness is investigated/ interviewed/ intimidated to confirm their statements]]]. This state also requires permits for body armor.]]] Also, Maryland is very unfriendly to out-of-state owners. My response to loosing my Constitutional Right at the time was to put it out of my mind, after all, there were few places to shoot and most were 45 Min to an hour away, the kids were getting older, and money to reload & shoot was scarce. Bottom line, don't move to Maryland if you want to carry. So if I were to get a weapon I would be limited to home protection I think, and if I did I was thinking about a Berette Cougar 8000 series but can't decide on a caliber. Suggestions??

I hear they also have to take out extra fire insurance when lighting the candles.

HAPPY 1st OLD FARTS DAY

X2 + Is truthful, says what they think willing to put up with my sh** More interested in being with a partner than with the fish

Is that when you received your brain injury???

I only spank my girls for fun But when my kids were young we used mental torture; we put them on the couch in the living room for an hour, they had to set up straight on the center edge of the couch with nothing around to play with and they were told to think about what they had done. The important thing was they knew the rules and we stuck to them.

I'd have an easer time catching a Bass than getting a hot lookin' woman to go fishin' with me.

LOL,, that's probably the only way that little pea-shooter would ever be of use. If you used it on the bear it would do nothing but tick her off more.

Which one? LOL It certainly is a cheep way to organize; works well in a back pack, or a soft bag too.

Oh, BTW, I almost never use the last bait in the package, if I do I'll put the used bait back as a reminder of what the bait looks like. If I buy more of the same thing I'll transfer the new baits to the current pack as long as it's in good condition, that saves on duck tape

Rule #1. Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

LOL, ya, it's an eel - don't know what type of eel but it's an eel. BTW, I was pulling your leg about the bait

Anyone know how to do it from a Droid??

Are you talking about the bait or the Eel??

I used a BPS binder for years and gave it up cause they don't carry the replacement pages any longer. So I went to Plano box's, but they take up too much room. The biggest problem with both systems is when you transfer the soft plastics from the manufactures bags to whatever you loose the iden***y of the soft plastic. So I started playing around with different ideas, 1 gal zip-locks, shopping bags, etc, etc. Here is what I came up with for now, it's just the manufactures bags with two strips of duck tape (Redneck time) a two hole punch and two rings. So far I like the point that I can flip through the bags easily, and group then by type of bait or whatever I want, and I don't loose the manufactures information. The rings I have will hold ten bags of Rage Tail baits with their Clam Shell packaging intact. Note for Big O - - you think Strike King could pick up on this idea and build it into their packaging? If so, I would suggest a stiffener layer sandwiched between the two layers of packaging.

Mobile phones problems After a busy day at work a woman settled down in her train seat for a nap from Waterloo as far as her destination at Winchester, when the fellow sitting near her hauled out his mobile and started up: "Hi darling it's Peter, I'm on the train..... - yes, I know it's the 6.30 not the 4.30 ..... but I had a long meeting - no, not with that floozy from the typing pool,.... with the boss. No darling, you're the only one in my life - yes, I'm sure, cross my heart" etc., etc....... This was still going on at Wimbledon, when the young woman opposite, driven beyond endurance, yelled at the top of her voice, "Hey, Peter, turn that bloody phone off and come back to bed!!"

LOL, How true.

I hear you, it's not a good picture; The D.C. metro area is very similar in many respects. Back in the early 70's when D.C. had it's riots I open carried a Ruger on the dash of my car to and from work, but never needed it; it caused my wife more stress than the fact I was driving into a riotous city. I would owe it to my family to move them to a safer area (like the dark blue zones in the map) You can't be everywhere all the time, kids at school (and how good is the quality of the school?), wife at home, baby in the sandbox. Their daily safety is my first responsibility. Stay safe.

Don't want to whack the hornets nest..... but I guess I'm just lucky, I don't live in fear of my surroundings, or need the ego trip, to carry a gun everywhere. But I was a gun owner, NRA member, and used them at work. And I do cherish my Constitutional right to own and bear arms. With that said, IMHO if you feel the need for constant protection at your side in this country you have other problems you need to deal with. Enough said, have a great day guy's.

I would keep it simple, just a solid color - white, cream, or something like that. It's likely to get scratched if you fish close into submerged wood, rocks, or old docks. You'll want something easy to maintain. Some may tell you to use a dark color on the under side of the hull so when the fish look up all they see is a dark shadow, I don't know if that really works or not.

Really good pic's. Is that "Carnival flake" it looks good. Can you smooth out the smaller dimples by sanding the clear coat? Don't rush, this boat is going to last you for years; the start of fishing season may be raining or something else may stop you from going. So take you time and do what you need to do. Bottom line - great job so far. P.S. Can I have that drop cloth in the background when your done with it??????

Sold all of my guns when the kids got old enough to start getting into everything; and I was afraid someone would really tick me off. I never really needed any of them anyways.

I like number 5......

The Dead Cow Lecture First-year students at the Purdue Vet School were attending their first anatomy class with a real dead cow. They all gathered around the surgery table with the body covered with a white sheet. The professor started the class by telling them, "In Veterinary medicine it is necessary to have two important qualities as a doctor. The first is that you not be disgusted by anything involving the animal’s body." For an example, the professor pulled back the sheet, stuck his finger in the butt of the cow, withdrew it, and stuck his finger in his mouth. "Go ahead and do the same thing," he told his students. The students freaked out, hesitated for several minutes, but eventually took turns sticking a finger in the butt of the dead cow and sucking on it. When everyone finished, the professor looked at them and said, "The second most important quality is observation. I stuck in my middle finger and sucked on my index finger. Now learn to pay attention. Life's tough,,,, but it's even tougher if you're stupid.
