So, I'm pretty sure this one is good to in NY. It's Buds Gunshop , and I know some people have had issues with them , but I can't find anything in the rules that says NY people cant win.
Easy entry , takes full name , email, phone #

Just as a note: Since we always have maintained that policy, but it's never been in the rules, I did add it into the forum rules 'etiquette' section (rules 9 -12) because it's not exactly a HARD rule, and no one is going to get banned for it.
Added as "12. We generally do not allow threads...
So, perhaps ironically, we're going to have to moderate this one. Reason being, we've always maintained a policy of not allowing threads that are just for bashing other platforms and moderation actions on them. Usually this applies to other forums. This is party due to our origins as a separate...
This is kind of a weird one I guess, and I think a long shot on here, but.. well, having recently become a single old man and living alone again, I'm in a weird 'trying to keep myself mentally busy' mode. I'm also however physically disabled, and therefore quite poor; so anything I'm doing has...
Ahh, yeah, I see. Out of context it seemed potentially a little ominous, so I had to ask. As it turns out, in morbid coincidence, 147 days from now would be march 6th , marking the anniversary of the US dropping the atomic bombs in japan.
Anyway , good luck at the next yard sale. Yeah, there's...
I'm just going to say.. I don't think there's anything wrong with asking the initial question. If that were the case, we'd have to essentially never allow any "Would this be legal ?" posts. As for the other (now deleted) post, well.. maybe not quite breaking the rule but.. riding the line for...
Ah crap, you're right. Usually in the contest corner I check the rules well, but I didn't think to do it since it wasn't firearm based. Well, I'll just mark this one as done. There's a couple of other decent ones up.
Sorry about that folks.
Cancelled: not valid to NY residents
Very simple entry. name and email. Not the usual thing in the contest corner, but I figure some of us are into this kind of thing.. and it's $5500 worth and easy entry , so I'm adding it.

Not sure about emails , but I did find something out (and gained huge suspicion) a while ago about political spam texts. I was getting them from both parties (still do around election times), and always addressed to either William or Margaret, certainly neither of which is my name. I was...

Thread hasn't been active in quite some time, but I've got something for it.
Due to health, money, and just not wanting to deal with this crap, I haven't bought a pistol in a VERY long time. I haven't bought one since Ulster had same day amendments.
Something came up though, and it took about 5...
Hmm, I dunno.
Every contest I post in the HCC section I have entered myself (That's kinda the whole point ya know, I'm just sharing the ones I've read through the rules and seen are NY compatible and entered myself). I can see how they can be glitchy though; especially considering people have...
Well, the 'simple enough for me' solution there is to set up a another Gmail (much as I despise Gmail, but there is a good reason) that has the specific purpose of being for contests and not caring if it gets spam.
The good reason to use Gmail for this , and it would seem fewer know this trick...

Seems to be very simple entry. Just full name and email , and this is on Springfield's own webpage. It does seem you have to confirm sign up to their mailing list in your email via a link they send. Man.. I do want this one.

Gleam entry (I know it's a pain , but almost all contests use this so if you enter contests just get over it.. heh)
Seems to be good with NY winners from what I read.

I wouldn't take much on that on that channel seriously at all.
Notice the speaker in all the voiceovers sound's a bit off in exclamations and timing ? That's because it's not a human. They're using AI text to voice, stock footage/photos, and most likely mostly AI written text, to just compile...
The problem with stuff like this is that no one saying these things seems to bother learning anything about the Palestinian culture and people or who 'they' do or don't want to kill. It's just primarily based on assumptions and, quite frankly, the arrogance of Americans to go by headlines and...
Ok.. so, that's quite obviously a blatant complete fabrication.
First off, that data simply isn't there.
"No comprehensive, up-to-date tally for the entire country over just the past three weeks has been published by a major international body (UN, ICRC, etc.). That means we cannot state an...
Easy enough to find that answer anyway.

As the Gaza war started in 2023, I don't really see what that has to with anything.. actually, that makes it worse.
Because of the 55 year population boom, Gaza has a higher population of children and young adults than any other any region in the world. Nearly half of the population are...
I'm sorry but.. what ?
First I checked the figures and 71% of all Jews in the U.S. identify as Democrats, and that includes the Orthodox Jews that are typically Republicans. Take them out and you have 76% - 80% Democrat. I have rarely met a Jewish (non-Orthodox) person that isn't a liberal (as...
I've never privately owned a Glock, they just weren't for me, but I do see some minor improvements here.
The biggest problem for me has always been the more acute grip angle, which is why I've rarely fired a Glock without getting slide bite. Honestly I've always wondered why this isn't as big a...
Pretty sure this one works, not sure about the ammo. Rules state where legal is all good, and this should be NY legal. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Ha.. completely regardless of this issue and totally off-topic, I'm partial to 'dipshit' myself. It's fun to say, and people are more taken aback these days if you come at them with it.
As it happens, nothing was removed after review, just the initial blatantly racist 'meme' one page 3 (so yeah, I guess you missed it) though some other posts I was asked (rightly so) to review, because we tend to check ourselves with each other to see if we're misconstruing anything, which I...
Thread re-opened
When a thread is locked, it's often for review. Moderators need to look at stuff and compare thoughts, sometimes remove posts that are not in keeping with the ethical running of the place. Some folks getting pretty silly about that, but then some folks don't understand I think...
So.. you'd rather have racist posts ? That's what he closed it for.
As far as Bookmarks, they're local to your computer/browser profile. They could vanish from deleting them, corrupted browser profiles..other things. Nothing this site can effect.
Various reasons, but that wasn't the only (or even the most common) issue with gun. The most common thing (pretty much all of them) was/is the buffer they had installed by default. They regularly cracked and got little plastic peices all up in the action that had to cleared out. It's an easy...
A bit off topic, but on that idea I wanted to drop the suggestion for a book for folks to read for people to understand this in ways that they don't even know they don't understand. It might just blow your mind. It's called Innumeracy: Mathematical Illiteracy and Its Consequences , written by...
Yep.
I have no issue with the practice, and of course I believe in testing with any different ammo you're going to carry and all that, but one can also just as logically look at it like you've then put 1000 rounds of wear and tear on parts that might have an issue, so they may be 5 rounds away...
