    Mortgage rates hit close to 7% today

    Owner of the company I work for owned an apartment complex. Saw the writing on the wall just as the covid SHTF, dumped all of his residential rental units...all of them. Kept the commercial properties. Has said he may never go back to residential again. Too risky.

    Agreed. But lacking a crystal ball the old saying applies, " We won't know until we know " ;). Ps- much respect for you responses.

    SCOTUS and the NYSRPA opinions

    I agree with you as to that is the basis for the suit, but its still doesn't mean that the entirety of the ruling will, could or won't be broadened or narrowed. We will have to wait and see.

    SCOTUS and the NYSRPA opinions

    What in total it addresses remains to be seen. The justices can view this as narrowly or as broadly as they wish. The words on paper will dictate, to some degree, what its effect will be. Additionally, how its interpreted ( the most important part- see Heller) will take, in my opinion, some...

    SCOTUS and the NYSRPA opinions

    I also submitted my application on September 24th of last year. The clerks website states 9-16 months. References were contacted nearly 3 weeks ago. At 9 months I will be right there in June. An interesting coincidence that's crossed my mind several times since, wondering if it may have an...

    Mortgage rates hit close to 7% today

    I remember my parents telling me when they had thier house built in 1973 they took out a 30 year fixed rate mortgage on a VA loan ( dad was navy) and the best rate they could get was almost 18 percent. 7 would be a steal to them back then

    At least you know now they of you slip and fall on the side rail of a locomotive while working your claim isn't covered under interstate commerce ( if I read it correctly). That's important, I think.

    SCOTUS and the NYSRPA opinions

    This was part of the oral argument stated by the attorney representing NYS in SCOTUS. Although I can't remember which justice responded, I recall it being on of the highlights during it. In short the justice basically said thier reasoning for limitations in public places was entirely flawed...

    I couldn't agree more. His analysis is still solid, but the click bait titling has become exhausting, especially for those who are awaiting this ruling.

    Its been, as of today, 215 days since I left my application at the county clerk's office. If I recall correctly, it was 197 days from the drop off until my references were contacted. If something important happens ( IE- references contacted or someone posted something) I log the day here...

    SCOTUS and the NYSRPA opinions

    Have read that Thomas really wanted another 2A case before retiring. Based upon the video above, if Thomas wants to write the opinion, due to seniority and the fact this with be a landmark case, it's his. There's hope.

    Wait times Monroe 2021 and the "pistol permit playoff beard "

    Today marks day 210. As written before, there has been some movement as references and I have been contacted within the last month. It somewhat feels as if a little of the anxiousness has been removed from the entire process. By no means is this the end, and anything can happen between now and...

    Multiple shot in Brooklyn, NY 36th subway station

    Had a simi I had a similar experience in my past. Worked OTR as a commercial HVAC repair guy for a multi billion dollar international company but we didn't wear uniforms, just jeans and t-shirts, no logos on them. Was sent somewhere, can't remember the location, to fix an 11 floor apartment...

    I bought and received my SIG M17

    Hm. The p30lem aligns directly with the vp9 in price from doing quick and dirty research with the USP being approx 100 bucks more. What differentiates the p30 from the vp9 in your view? Again, honest question to formulate an educated decision pre permit/ purchase.

    Mortgage delinquencies starting to rise

    Somewhat true, somewhat not. If I'm correct, fed controls fed lending rate ( prime) which impacts general lending rates and is mirrored in bank lending rates. As inflation rises the only tool the fed has is raising interest rates to slow it, hence "pumping the brakes " on the overall economy...

    So thinking of getting into trap and skeet and pondering shotguns. Need advice.

    So, the owner of the shop I work for is a big duck hunter and also does skeet, trap and sporting Clay's. Knowing he would have some extensive knowledge in ths area I approached him today to inquire about the sport, asking where he would begin if he had to do it all over again. His information...

    So thinking of getting into trap and skeet and pondering shotguns. Need advice.

    I've been windows shopping for 24 hours now lol. I will ask a friend who shoots if he would be interested in going and I will supply Clay's and ammunition. His collection is enormous so I should get some time behind a wide variety of brands and styles. As of right now, obviously without...

    So thinking of getting into trap and skeet and pondering shotguns. Need advice.

    Welp this is like kizmit. Just at sportsman's warehouse to window shop. Which one did I seem to love the most? Benelli Ethos Sport. Absolutely, positively runway model beautiful. Don't worry, I drooled a little too lol. Wrote it down, 2k, on the list.

    So thinking of getting into trap and skeet and pondering shotguns. Need advice.

    I mentioned to the owner of the shop that I work for about Benelli and he scoffed at the idea. Says he owns 7 of them ( I believe him, his collection is astounding, won most in raffles) but swears by the beretta. PS- the silver pigeon in over under new is 2200. Was it really that superior?

    I'm gonna try to pull off a shockwave. Trap shockwave competition is a thing isn't it LOL. I'm heading out today to do some window shopping ( pistol permit has now advanced) and am adding shotgun shopping to the list. Will see if they have a ruger red label in store and will attempt to not...

    So thinking of getting into trap and skeet and pondering shotguns. Need advice.

    I've always admired the beauty of Benelli shotguns and have had my eye on one since I began shooting a couple of years ago. They are just, well, gorgeous IMO, but don't know much of anything about shotguns in general, let alone one specifically for sport. The one I wish I could own ( the M4) I...

    I don't want to clog this thread nor hijack it, but am interested in beginning trap and skeet. Need advice on a good beginning point on a shotgun to engage in the sport. To ask, and since its related to this topic I've posted another thread in the long gun section on the forum and hope you guys...

    So thinking of getting into trap and skeet and pondering shotguns. Need advice.

    Went to an outdoor range as a guest with a good buddy of mine. This was the first time I ever shot outdoors. Had an incredible time shooting anywhere from 50 yards to 200 yards. Noticed they also had trap and skeet. Got me thinking I might want to try it. Some things of note that may be...

    That's the entirety of what's wrong in this process. It can be done in a timely fashion but isn't. We've PAID for this right, we've waited patiently for it yet it doesn't matter the order it was received. Worst of all, there is nothing we can do about it.

    Small update. Called the permit department today to check ETA in general for permits. Still running 9-16 months.

    Day 150. Just another day at this point. A place marker in time. 5 months. No references contacted nor have I been contacted.

    Girl, 9, Dies After She's Mistakenly Shot by Robbery Victim

    Isn't the idea of a deadline force incident to stop the threat and break contact with said threat? Engaging a fleeing target isn't breaking contact, its continued engagement. Tables turned at that point. Now, a fleeing target still has the capability of dispensing deadly force, but with...
