Let the business people yell at the politicians.
Many people without advanced degrees figured this out decades ago.
People don't need lie detectors to know when they are being lied to.

My long time gunsmith moved across the state line and managed to not only keep many of his former customers, but also attract new customers. Plus he gets to work on a more varied set of firearms.
I used to have to “force entry” into occupancies that were on fire. The toughest places were drug dealers homes an garment factories in Chinatown. Both places with lots of cash. The Chinese garment factories were in multi-story loft buildings. When I showed up for my first tour as a covering Lt...

I had a 444. It is a small 5 shot .44 magnum, ported 4 inch barrel. t was heavy and had enormous grips, kind of a baffled rubber. The trigger pull was very difficult until it wasn't, suddenly. I could never get the hang of it. It was tough to shoot accurately. At the end of the trigger pull the...
My Glock 29 is my oldest 10mm. I sent it to Glock 3 years ago to install Glock night sights and they replaced all the interior springs and parts with new ones for free. Basically a new gun.

I did a winter survival course near Mt. Marcy when I was a teenager, 1974? .
I was partnered up with a guy from Long Island. It got to be 15 below with 2 feet of fresh snow. We got through 2 nights by doing something like the video. I think we would have done better with some changes in...
In NY, I'm pretty sure that in order to change your party affiliation, you must submit the paperwork to change, but it doesn't go into effect until the next election cycle has passed, (2 years).
At least that's how I remember it when I changed my party affiliation many moon ago.
No
Use a pocket holster
or
Get an S&W model 40 or 42 (.38 sp J frame) that have a grip safety like the old Lemon Squeezer. (Not easy to find, 42 is the Lt wt version.)
