    Valentine's Day

    I get my wife a Hershey bar. Sometimes I switch it up and get her some Reese's. Sometimes she buys me my favorite candy bar too. We're simple.

    NYGF Bullet Guy is now a vendor here

    He's been more than willing to be the first and has always asked us about it. We're still finalizing everything. It just so happened that someone else was set up first.

    Denied ccw

    Definitely fight it. If you don't, and she decides to try again a while down the line, she will have to check the box that says she has been denied before. You could always try to see if they will give her one with restrictions. Then, eventually she can try and have them removed.

    I usually agree with Trump, but definitely not on this

    Something that should be completely legal to begin with. Two consenting adults should be able to do what they want. I'm still amazed by the amount of people who are pro-choice on the issue of abortion but not pro-choice on the issue of prostitution.

    Right to Work in NY

    There are plenty of people who have worked for a long time that haven't benefited from a union. I've worked as a landscaper, lifeguard, and a bunch of other occupations before I graduated college and got a job as a systems administrator. I'm still fairly young, but I've got over 15 years of...

    Right to Work in NY

    That's part of my point. The union workers that I worked with milked the system. They are the reason that the cost of an electrician is so high. I just looked, and it's higher than I though. Regular labor time (~7am-3pm weekdays) for things like hooking up TVs, is $66.75 per half hour. The off...

    Right to Work in NY

    I wouldn't argue that. You know what though? Those non-union people that I worked with in Atlanta actually learned. They seemed to strive to do a better job than the unioned workers in NYC. After a couple times of working directly with and showing a guy in Atlanta exactly what I wanted, he...

    Right to Work in NY

    I hate non-right to work states. Here's a story... I used to work for a business that designed and set up trade shows around the world. In particular, I set up the electronics (TVs, computers, projectors, sound systems, etc). Most of the trade shows were US based. I traveled to NYC, Atlanta...

    Hunted ... Thoughts ? on this TV show ...

    I'm thinking you'd have to rely on friends of friends. First things first, get out $100 while the other person packs (or, ideally, grab your go bag). Drive your car somewhere remote and have that person pick you up. Have them drive you somewhere else and meet one of their friends. Get that...

    You can only take $100 out at a time, and I guess you can't use any of your own money in your wallet.

    Gillibrand says she won’t be running against Trump in 2020

    Analysis of 9th Circuits 3-Judge Panel Decision - Headed for a Real Mess?

    Would you pick apples for minimum wage? I sure as hell wouldn't. Most apples are still picked by hand. no clue. How many? Washington declared an emergency a few years back so they could bring in prisoners to pick.

    Analysis of 9th Circuits 3-Judge Panel Decision - Headed for a Real Mess?

    I could see it hurting their economy. Washington grows something like 2/3rds of the nations apples. Apple harvesting (and trimming) is very labor intensive and immigrants will work crappy jobs for less money than native people.

    Monroe County Parks laws / Carrying Concealed

    There was a push to get this law changed a few years back. Then SAFE happened and it fell on the back burner. A bunch of us went to the county legislature meeting and spoke about it. I wrote a op-ed piece that got published in the D&C as well.

    Hunted ... Thoughts ? on this TV show ...

    I'd prefer not to be near a road. But, if I needed food... I'd rather be there than in town at a store. I thought I saw someone put a gun into one of their backpacks. I could be wrong on that though.

    Hunted ... Thoughts ? on this TV show ...

    I wouldn't be doing illegal things. But, I'd be about as boring as you can be. I'd find a little pond in the middle of nowhere and fish for my meat. I'd eat dandelions. I'd eat berries (which are fairly abundant in the times they filmed at least part of the show [June and July]). Walk down the...

    Hunted ... Thoughts ? on this TV show ...

    I wonder if they have to take money out of the bank. It seems as though most of them do take it out. I've usually got a couple hundred bucks in cash in the house. It would be pretty simple to bug out with the food that I have plus $300 or so. Pay an acquaintance some money to drive you...

    Big Five Manager Resigns After Begin Forced to Sell Gun To “Erratic” Customer

    If she was following federal guidelines and her employer forced her to complete the sale anyways, it could be considered a hostile environment. The courts in CA are pretty pro gun control, so they may side with her on this. It's also very possible that she's suing to get money. It may be cheaper...

    Non-profit/not for profit schools can work just as well as for profit schools. The key is to open up the market and have the businesses fight for customers. I probably said it before, but my wife is a teacher at a private, non profit school. You hit the nail on the head whey you said there is no...

    She (her lawyer) will probably argue that she had no other choice because the employer made a hostile work environment.

    Big Five Manager Resigns After Begin Forced to Sell Gun To “Erratic” Customer

    I've never been behind the counter, but I don't think I would. The guy sounded very erratic, and there is no way that I'm going to be personally responsible for arming him. She was acting within ATF guidelines.

    Hunted ... Thoughts ? on this TV show ...

    I've watched it from the beginning. It has an interesting concept. I'm still amazed about the tech, like the license plate readers. I'm surprised that the show has access to them. It's a little ridiculous what the government can do. On a side note, people are idiots. You have to lay low. Get...

    They don't take kids that can't handle it. That may include kids with certain IEPs. Those kids have equal opportunity to get into the school. Newark is actually spending less per capita on charter schools than the traditional public schools. Nationally, charter school students receive 28% less...

    There are plenty of public charter schools that aren't there for making money. The Rochester City School District runs some. Look at the success of charter schools in New Orleans. Their system of charter schools has done a fantastic job. As someone who sent a kid to private school for a year...

    (CONFLICTED CARD GAME) Prepping food for thought

    I don't think you can say with 100% certainty right now. I'd like to say that I'd stick with all my friends, but I have more allegiance to my immediate family than to friends. Sorry guys. It's really going to depend on the situation. How bad are we struggling? How nice will we have it? What will...

    Lessons for the Bug out Bag

    The idea of weighing everything definitely comes from the hiking background. We routinely cover 30+ miles in a weekend of hiking in the Adirondacks. Even hiking in 3 or 4 miles with gear can be tough. Then, you're hiking 6-10 miles a day with less gear. Any way you can shave off weight is...

    DONE Tomato Stake

    Why do you have to be so far away? By the time I pay for shipping and a transfer fee it would be too expensive. I will be applying for my C&R license in the next couple days though. If you have it in 6 or 8 weeks, you'll probably have a buyer :D

    That use tax is supposed to be collected already. Our state gas tax is the 3rd highest in the nation at 43.4 cents per gallon. It's 42.9 cents per gallon for diesel, which is also 3rd in the nation.
