If I were senator, this wouldn't even be a topic of debate. And you still lack clarification of post #96 , so I for one don't know what you were even referencing, and feel confident not many others do either. Care to try again?

First, clarification of your statement would be helpful to anyone reading your response as it certainly isn't clear what you mean by whats written. Second, if related to income, you stated you worked throughout the pandemic your entire schedule so, you earned the same and maybe you should...

And sooo many self employed individuals worked thier regular schedule. Due to being considered " essential ( construction was considered essential )" my employer continued to have us work.... Making hospital beds Making sterilization rooms Making additional ER space Making Nurses stations and...

Another alternative is to pay those wages in the service industry and then.... Limit all hours to be the equivalent amount of pay. Unemployment drops, but wages stay stagnant. Remember, whatever the government does, it fails poorly.....but with style!

Agreed, but federal minimums still apply From the article; Five states have not adopted a state minimum wage: Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Tennessee. Two states, Georgia and Wyoming, have a minimum wage below $7.25 per hour. In all seven of these states, the federal...

So you've come to terms with the wage then?

Tennessee has a minimum wage of 7.25/hrs, but I understand your idea. As to whether it would ever happen, it couldn't. Beyond the liberal fears, tax revenues would plummet. I could also see the loss of many, many jobs in the service sector that border that wage which, in turn, would raise...

Could it be that if the government you work for stopped printing money at such a fast pace and reels in its spending then you could possibly avoid inflation? Hmm...if that were the case, then the raise you received would have been sufficient to cover normal inflation. And that 23 million...

This is where I think you've gone wrong. In any publicly traded company the responsibility of the board is to the shareholders and not any employee. It's the employees choice to continue to stay employed at any employer who they wish at whatever wage they have themselves negotiated. Basically...

I'm unsure at this time, but certainly NOT option 2 or 6.

Well, the poll is almost closed and due to potential time constraints tomorrow I would like to wrap up a few things before then. First, i am really surprised by how close the votes were, nearly 50-50 with a slight edge going to the no side. I consider many if not all here having quite a bit...

Ps- the average wage for a cardiologist fellow in Rochester is around 500k annually. I know this for a fact. Subtract malpractice insurance, the cost of a practice if private, office space, staff, the education associated with it and you will find actually how little they make as compared to...

While I generally understand most if your statement above, I'm confused by the last sentence. Are you specifically speaking in regards to those who have a college degree VS those who do not or just generally those just starting working lacking skills VS those with experience? Clarity would be...

Totally agree, with some stipulations. The market sets the value of that position, within a range that will not be exceeded based upon available labor in a specific geographic region, regardless of skill attained or years of experience. Ex- with 10+years experience in my field as a journeyman...

Let's put an interesting twist on this scenario. Let's say I'm of the ilk that truly wants my employer to cover my cost of living regardless of what that would be ( forget about the market and supply and demand for the sake if argument) What would bar me from living like a millionaire if my...

@Chris1389. There is mostly 4 things that separates people from higher wages. Effort, focus, drive and determination. You choose which path you walk in life. Noone forces you in any direction to accept any task. That's freedom. Apply the above 4 to any scenario and higher wages will...

What prevents her from attending the required college education to become said eye surgeon?

I believe it's called preemptive laws. They are legal in New York, hence the hodge podge legislation that exists. Other states do not allow preemptive laws. I might have that backwards, but you get the idea

As to the question of reasons why on the PA permit, I had a flashback to my NYS application, and checked nearly every reason available. The clerk simply chose self defense lol. Smelled like freedom my friend.

Soon to a county clerk near you... Have you thought of obtaining a pre license license? That requires 16 hours of pre license training and 3 hours of out loud thought expression. Please schedule an appointment for each. The cost is 128 dollars. Not valid in New York City.

Every county is different of course, but in Monroe I got my semi auto permit Friday ( 5 bucks, in and out) and per the clerk you would not be required to add semi auto long guns to your PP, just the endorse to purchase one. Without registration, there's no record so if erie is similar, I...

PS- My experience was with McKean County.

Following. New PA holder her ( last Friday kinda new)

The inmates have taken over the asylum... :)

That could be, as are so many laws in NYS, interpreted in so many different ways

Ironic as his tag is a 357 mag.

?

I agree, but any attorney will find a way to twist any scenario to thier benefit. The immediate situation is on camera, but an attorney could say "well X occurred before the video began ".

While I usually agree with you the scenario of helping a neighbor lift something is a bit far fetched.

And, when it comes to plinking, the one who ends up the poorest, pulling the trigger counting the dollars sent down the range.

My opinion is roughly a year and a half before its resolved. That includes exhausting all appeals through the 2nd, which will include an en banc panel of more than 3 judges. Appeal to the Supreme by plaintiff's, remanded back, GVR, circus starts over again. Now that's a helluva prop bet.

Must have done well in live fire training and classroom course

In thier current form a project

For all following. Once the poll closes I will reveal the reason for the question( next-Saturday). As this has garnered more interest than I had anticipated and the opinions and voting results as so close yet so varied I believe I would derail the balance of the poll by posting why sooner. I...

The burden should rest squarely on the failing individual, not every individual

For clarity, the magazine is loaded with ammunition. I failed to put that on the description. My apologies

No. There is no legal ramification or reason for the it, just personal debate I've been struggling with

I agree. I've shot a 45 from a lever action and, although not difficult, was surprised by the recoil from it. Fun fact-i now own that same 45 lever action because of it

No

Again, I am truly surprised at the division of opinion on this as I have made some assumptions regarding us gun owners. They are as follows; We are all knowledgeable in the basics of firearms We are all responsible gun owners. We ( generally) agree on firearms as a whole and the basic reasons...

Could you clarify your position? I am a bit lost as to your response and truly would like to know your opinion. I will do the same if the question seems ambiguous. The scenario is as follows; A firearm (semi auto in this case) has a magazine inserted in it. Said magazine has rounds in it...

The entirely of the situation is sickening. First, how could anyone of good moral character just stand by and video the whole thing. Second, and what would be relatable to us who carry, and is even more sickening, is the fact that IF YOU INTERVENED AND SHOT THE SHOOTER YOU WOULD LIKELY BE IN...

I agree, and while hopeful I think, if your referring to the 20th of March hearing date I'm taking a "long game " approach. I feel certain that if ruled in our favor I nearly guarantee an appeal to an en banc panel of more judges of the second. Basically, this won't be over this month as...

Certainly part of the standard rules for safety, but which is it? Chambered or unchambered round?

Meh, I'm not so sure about this. Some may just want consistency in caliber between thier handgun and rifle when out in the field if carrying both for simplicity. It's plausible at least

Upon visiting a local establishment, nix the 45-70. Nearly 2.50/ round-if available makes it a bit excessive in legacy of cost.

This is more interesting than I thought it would be, and the results are proving it. To be fair, I believe a firearm is loaded when it hs a round in the chamber ( both semi and revolver). Safety being considered, I take the precautions as stated above, as every firearm is considered loaded...

I wish NY would dump the safe act.

Moreover, what do you believe is a loaded firearm legally? Opinions obviously, not seeking legal advice. Share your reasoning if you can.
