    Florida Police Chief Banned The Second Amendment Before Hurricane Helene Hit

    Florida has pretty stout non-preemption laws. What he did is flatly illegal.

    Mayor Adams indicted for corruption

    I’ll see your Joe Biden and raise you an Obama. I’m not convinced Biden has the cognitive ability of a cauliflower at this point, but his predecessor is very certainly still active behind the scenes, or screens, whichever you prefer.

    PA Residency upcoming - what to get to celebrate?

    Must be county dependent or it’s changed since I moved here from NY in October 2023. I’m describing how it went for me, can’t imagine my experience is an anomaly.

    PA Residency upcoming - what to get to celebrate?

    Not sure what SAS is…(edit: typo, corrected other post, damn iPhone) but in PA they create your license on the spot, no paper temporary one. You’ll leave the driver license center with it in hand. In my county anyway, you can then promptly go to the sheriff’s office and get your LTC. Took me an...

    PA Residency upcoming - what to get to celebrate?

    PA license acquisition is pretty speedy, and you get your license handed to you on the spot as well as your old license with “VOID” punched through the middle. Took me about 40 minutes. Voter registration is also pretty quick all things considered. I registered my voter info online but you can...

    Federal law requires car makers to start monitoring drivers

    Yep. I worked for a Penske logistics account that had two driver facing cameras. FedEx ground contractors have them and monitor them live. The company I’m working for now uses Netradyne brand cameras and they’re fucking obnoxious, forever calling out violations that are nonexistent (my favorite...

    Federal law requires car makers to start monitoring drivers

    This is the fallacy of the subservient. Remember, if you will, the words of Cardinal Richelieu… “If one would give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest man, I would find something in them to have him hanged.” Now, instead of six handwritten lines of text, substitute video and...

    Going to buy guns in the morning

    I have a Ruger Wrangler .22 LR/.22 Mag, but mine is a matte silver with black grips (standard not birds head). Love it, kids love it, one of the best gun purchases I’ve made. Haven’t launched any .22 Mag yet, but I’m sure it won’t disappoint. Edit: picture

    Non-NY Residents (NJ, CT, MA, PA etc) Can Apply for New York City CCW Licenses

    Don’t plan to do anything in NYC, but it’d be nice to not worry about being jailed traversing the boroughs with a pistol that’s legal at the beginning and end points of my trip, per federal guidelines. Of course, since I am somewhat pigment-deficient and not of the correct political...

    What are Kamala's strengths, according to the left?

    Biden ends bid for second term in White House as he drops out of his 2024 rematch with Trump

    Well isn’t that some shit? Can’t say I’m surprised, though I really wanted the self immolation of the Dems to continue propelling the potato along a path nobody but Dr. Jill (LOL) wanted. So, @GOPerfect and @Dr. Evil, when is the political consultant agency opening?

    21 year old man with AK-47 pistol and ski mask arrested near Republican National Convention

    Weird. Though, I’ve seen recruitment ads for them in northern PA. Perhaps they’ve been absorbed by a three letter agency, DHS maybe.

    JD Vance For VP

    As a former OH resident, I don’t hate Trump’s pick of JD for the VP slot. Would have preferred Ted Nugent, for maximum shock value and sheer lack of fucks to give though.

    You’re probably right, and they’d likely let the shooter get away into the bargain.

    President Trump shot (2024 Butler PA)

    Heard this on my scanner app yesterday, got an alert for a shooter in Butler PA. I’ve been suspecting this would happen, and I’m going to predict another attempt in the future. They’re not done. If he does manage to make it back into the Oval Office despite what I expect to be a monumental...

    This Elderly Man Was Arrested After Shooting a Burglar in Self-Defense—Because His Gun Was Unlicensed

    PA open carry is dicey without an LTCF. Reason being, if the corner of your shirt draped over the handle of your otherwise openly carried handgun, you could be then charged with concealing without a license. Ergo, get the damn LTCF, it’s $20 and 20 minutes of your time.

    Columbia University negotiates with terrorists and allows pro-Palestinian encampment to remain with rules

    Fuck ‘em all. Students and employees out, perimeter fence them in, let them starve. Close the damn universities down, that’s where most of this horse shit gets started anyway. Oh and check Craigslist and Indeed job postings, that’s where they’re recruiting some of these protesters. Just like...

    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 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

    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?

    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...

    Undocumented Immigrants Have Right to Own Guns, Judge Rules (merged)

    I did not see that coming. It appears that the recent undocumented and thus illegal immigrants are the new protected class, who can break any and all laws with impunity. This must really, really sting my Colombian friend of two decades ago, who was deported in the middle of attaining his...

    No Restrictions Impulse Buy!

    All of them, of course. I like classic military arm/sidearm pairings, like a 1911 and a Garand or Thompson, a Luger and a Mauser, etc. I like unusual stuff like the PPSh or Reising… I very much want an original build Gatling on a period carriage. A small naval cannon would be amazing on the...
