The best way to protect yourself is to avoid a known dangerous area unless absolutely necessary. If you have to go,keep your head on a swivel and get out as fast as possible. That's why I won't go to NYC either

The Finns always seem to have some very functional cold weather gear

She's an idiot. A dangerous idiot if you choose to ignore her and just write her off

I had thought that I'd be able to retire to Wyoming, but it seems like WY is being flooded by Californians

Their goal is all semiauto handguns. Glocks are in such widespread common use that I dont see such a ban holding up to legal challenges

If there are improvements then maybe. The old design is around 60 years old at this point and theres always room for improvement in anything over such a long time. I would hope that they arent simply cutting corners in a way that wouldnt have been accepted when the originals were designed.

Was there really a need to update the old design?

I wouldn't pay more than $5-10 each for them. I cant believe people are paying more than that for nearly expired ones

I just dont see the udefulness of a substandard fake that has a good chance of failing when you need it https://www.rescue-essentials.com/rescue-essentials-blog/beware-fake-cat-tqs/

My advice would be to not rely on a plastic ammo can. They dont stand up to the abuse of the metal cans. If you need a smaller can get a small 30 caliber can instead of the 50 caliber can

Avoid the cheap Chinese knock-offs. They'll fail when you need them the most. A n authentic CAT runs around $20. I dont see that as breaking the bank

Yeah I realize that anyone with a well will have a much easier go at it. I have a well myself, and a high enough water table that water will never be a problem for me. That tin can suggestion will take a long time to get any amount of water. I recall seeing one way to collect water from a well...

Our local gun club forwarded the members a copy of the form that ammo buyers are being asked to fill out. Ironically, while NYS is replacing NICS for the background check, the form requests that you include a NICS UPIN number if you have one.

Not sure how they'll get away with that if they're doing the other ammo sale paperwork that's been required for the last year
