    Do you need a background check to purchase a muzzleloader in NY?

    I didn’t, but that was pre ammo-background-check. Perhaps just another case of a curmudgeon shop creating rules out of thin air?

    Justice Clarence Thomas missing?

    Hopefully not the Scalia treatment, I think that's a major concern given the climate nowadays.

    Justice Clarence Thomas missing?

    Justice Thomas did not show up for proceedings yesterday, and the court did not offer any explanations as to his absence. Illness, or worse? https://x.com/YgorPetrov/status/1779992590625947919

    Shootout near Onondaga county, officers down

    I got an alert from my scanner app about an officer involved shooting in Onondaga, still have the alert set because I used to work in the county. Didn’t listen to it, had other nonsense going on. Now wish I did..

    New voter registration numbers

    Which in turn would be the fourth term for Obama, I surmise.

    New voter registration numbers

    ESPECIALLY if he dies a week before Election Day. They’ll milk that cadaver for a good month of photo ops and PR before acknowledging he’s kicked the bucket.

    Batavia Wally World freakout over pellet gun return to store!

    I recently bought a handgun (Ruger Wrangler .22 revolver) from a local shop in town. I walked out with my new purchase in hand, in the middle of town, a hundred yards from the courthouse front steps, and the county sheriff department. Nothing awful happened. An older gentleman leaving a nearby...

    Police took possession of E. Jean Carroll's unregistered gun after her testimony in Trump defamation trial

    The majority of states don’t require registration…. Oh wait, she lived in Warwick NY? Why is she not being charged with the felony your or I would undoubtedly be charged with, were we to be in NY and in possession of a handgun sans license?

    Switzerland found guilty of not adequately addressing climate change

    I’m pretty sure that Switzerland gives as many fucks, rat’s asses, or whatever other currency you care to mention, as you and I do.

    Nearest and best PA gun stores? (I’m an idiot)

    Sadly in the boroughs your options are considerably infringed upon, as you’re no doubt noticing. I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong, but you can’t have any firearms in NYC without some form of permit, even long guns. Hell, defending yourself in any fashion will likely land you in...

    Nearest and best PA gun stores? (I’m an idiot)

    Drive to PA. Find gun shops. Ogle all the things you’d earn felony convictions for if you were allowed to take them home. Decide you want less infringement, and move to PA. Revisit gun shops and let the acquisitions begin! Oh, and if you’re the proud possessor of a liberal democrat progressive...

    Hog hunt, what gun to take?

    Depends on the size and expected range/stand-off distance. 300 BO is not something I’d go after a hundred pound boar with. One of the 7mm’s or the .30-06, with a hefty bullet that will penetrate (Barnes X or similar maybe).

    F/S B Square Scope Mount for Ruger Blackhawk

    Here is a B Square scope mount I removed from my Ruger Old Model Blackhawk. When I purchased the pistol this mount was holding a rather awful Tasco red dot sight. I’m not one for anything but iron sights on a single action revolver, so here it is. $25 FTF New Milford PA/Southern Tier NY ish...

    EPA makes new EV/pollution rules for passenger vehicles

    I like renting Teslas from Hertz... they practically throw them at you for the price of their cheapest economy car. Last one I rented, for a quick weekend trip to LI, was $38 a day. I topped it off at home before I left with the included 110/220 charger, drove to my destination with one 15...
