    Clinton just threw Trump a softball with her 65% estate tax plan

    Why isn't it just taxed the same rate as income?

    Antler restrictions, good, bad or no impact either way?

    Looks like it's 7 days. Deer Harvest Reporting and Harvest Calculation - NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation If he left it there for any longer than that (even the frozen meat), the DEC could have known. I've heard of them going to the butchers and getting tag #s.

    Lionfish hunting

    Lionfish are an invasive species in the US and can cause devastation of native fauna. There's no season or limit on shooting them on the East Coast. From what I've heard, they're pretty tasty as well. @Darth, if you ever go diving in FL (or a bunch of places on the coast).....

    Mobil One as Gun Oil

    Yup. Engine oils are tested and formulated way more than any gun oil would be. I haven't been picky with what kind, but I generally choose whatever synthetic I've been putting in the cars.

    Found the option, talked with the guys, and enabled it. You should see it show up as "Registered Members" when you go to the members page (or mouse over the arrow next to the Members button.

    Members list ?

    I didn't see an option to enable it (but I could have missed it). I do know that a lot of large forums don't allow people to do that because it uses a significant amount of server resources when pulling all that info. I'll let @NYGuns answer for sure though. In the meantime, if you have a...

    Antler restrictions, good, bad or no impact either way?

    I'm against this government regulation. If I've got a buck permit, it doesn't change the population if I shoot a 2 year old, or a 5 year old. It should be up to the individual if they want to take a smaller deer.

    What happens when you click on "your content"? Mine shows all the posts I've made. If I started a thread, it says thread on the right, instead of post. Are you looking to have two different pages?

    lol. We all wish. There is no way Cuomo doesn't know about this stuff. There are tons of rumors about him being controlling. Actually putting feet to the fire and getting enough evidence on him probably won't happen though.

    Political Picture thread. (humor/memes/etc)

    Not a picture, but still a political joke.... A man died and went to heaven. As he stood in front of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him. He asked, "What are all those clocks?" St. Peter answered, "Those are Lie-Clicks. Everyone on Earth has a Lie-Clock. Every...

    Why Use Hollow Points?

    There are tradeoffs with going up in caliber. People in free states can carry 17 rounds of 9mm. I'd argue that is better than 6 rounds of 44 mag. I'm not saying that people should choose a bullet based on hydrostatic shock, but it helps incapacitate an attacker. It certainly doesn't make the...

    The military doesn't use hollow points, do they? A FMJ won't produce much shock wave.

    Why Use Hollow Points?

    How wouldn't it? From the link I posted a little while ago. "We also observed mild hemorrhaging along the abdominal walls and rear rib cage on the right side. This is the area directly opposite from the entrance wound, but several inches caudal (rearward) from the point where the bullet exited...

    If Proposed Gun Ballot Measures Go Through In California, This Could Be Your Typical Morning

    I'd recommend a pellet gun to start. Just make sure the backstop/target isn't flat. They (along with BBs) tend to ricochet. They make very little noise compared to a gun with gunpowder as well, but still wear eye and ear protection. This is what I plan to get my son for his 6th birthday. A...

    Why Use Hollow Points?

    Have you ever shot a deer in the neck? You don't have to hit the spinal cord or a major artery to kill it. The impact from my .308 rifle dropped a nice 8 point buck before it took a step. It entered and exited the neck right below the spinal cord. When I cleaned it, there was no major apparent...

    Scott had a gun. Was that reason enough to order him to drop it?

    It doesn't really matter. From what I heard, the guy got out of his vehicle with his gun, got back in, and then got back out with it in his hand. I'd call that suspicious enough to warrant questioning.

    If Proposed Gun Ballot Measures Go Through In California, This Could Be Your Typical Morning

    I have two young kids. When our older one was about 3, he was really curious about the guns. So, I let him hold them, touch them, look through the scopes, etc. He asked me every day for a week to touch them. I dropped what I was doing and we went to the safe. After a month or two, he pretty much...

    Why Use Hollow Points?

    Excellent post @MilesTeg It's important to note, if a 9mm round nose bullet doesn't expand, it keeps it's same dimensions and has a circumference of 1.1147". That's how much tissue is disturbed on it's way through. A round nose bullet could also "push" the body parts away instead of...

    Pistol permit question

    Try calling (or stopping by) the clerk's office and asking them about attaching extra papers. I'm pretty sure you can attach other papers to the application and say something like, "See attached paper" on that one line.

    Should we have separate forums for firearms and non-firearms politics

    We haven't really decided yet, and political posts are in the Clubhouse and Politics now. It looks like the views are split pretty evenly, so there isn't any clear consensus. I just want what will be best for the site (for harmony, to attract new members, etc).

    Welcome to the forum! There are a bunch of us from Monroe County. As long as you disclose the details of what happened, I think you'll get your permit.
