Was that double homicide/suicide near you? I can't believe they knew the woman had a gun and was mentally unstable and allowed her to pick up those poor kids alone.What the hell is this world coming to?

    In a State with some of the strictest anti gun laws in the country and pending newer stricter legislation by the Legislature and the Governor  this kinda stuff just never stops feeding the frenzy. Crazy people are gonna do in our way of life. Then there will still be crazy people.
 Amazing that School officials  can expel a 5 year pointing a finger like a gun or stop that kid from wearing the Marine t-shirt with a picture of an AR on it but cant figure out a nutso Granny.         
        Makes ya wonder who the Crazies are sometimes.
  Am in the center of Ct which is a small Sate so its always near me.
   Been looking for some new Deer grounds and we require  written permission from the landowner- its startin to get tough out there with all the hype goin on . They know your not gonna do anything bad but are all scardey cat lately bout giving permission for guns on their properties.
   Might go and puke now...

HUH ?
I know you read the new deal we got in New York.. From my cold dead hands will they pry my freedom..

Tuna- havent read the whole 'new deal' in Ny yet. Just some highlights. Much was the way it already is here in CT.  Actually there was little that Obama suggested that has not been the rule here for some time.  That said I fear black guns and clip requirements will be severely restricted in most places..Ny wont be alone.
   Our Gov is trying to initiate new restrictions here because the Legislatures panel is taking too long- they are having public 'words over it too -lol. Gun controll laws arent all that idiotic when time is taken to really look into facts VS hype.
  Ny gun folks got really screwed IMHO cause your reps did one of the quickest knee jerks in the whole country- chalk one up for the antis.
  I LOVED it when the NY clip capacity  eliminated all the PD clips overnight. NY back stepped saying the Cops were not included in the legislation.  Then nobody could  find a provision saying that- lol.
  idiots.
  Would really like to hear some of your  particulars since I am on the verge of getting my' Homeland Security' retired cop pistol permit .  Unlike a regular State permit which may or may not be reciprocal ( in NY and Mass. my Ct State permit is no good so I'm landlocked) its  Nationally recognized by virtue of the Federal laws but ya gotta go by local restrictions when moving around.
 Also interested in particular rifle or Muzzel restrictions when going hunting up  to my place.
 State by State its gonna likely be a real mess for law abiding Hunters moving around in the future. 
     Ct for example has had a background check law for years. Gotta wait days if you want a gun. The only exception is if you have a Ct pistol permit- with that your background is considered already done and you can buy and carry.
 Trapping- boating-bow hunting - gun hunting -all require completion of a State course of a few days each to participate in. Pistol permits also require much further background checking and  and course participation.
  Our clip size limits were 'twilighted' in the old law and have come back to large clips but are most certainly likely to mirror the Ny restrictions soon.
 The next generation will NOT be able to do what we do the way we do it.

Adolf Cuomo has announced that they will roll back the ban on assault weapons for movie companies that want to come to NY and make films that need the firearms for realism.  Perfect setup for a national NRA Boycott, if it is made in NYS and has restricted firearms, do not pay to see the film.

What really ticks me off is it costs the state of NY tax payers 400 MILLION , yes MILLION $$$$$
To promote movie makers to film in NY
SICK I say

Post withdrawn.  I can post elsewhere regarding these issues.  I'd rather concentrate on fishing, fly tying and enjoying the great outdoors. 

    Would hate for this or any other thread to turn into another forum on Gun control.
    Basically we all generally feel the same and it becomes just a sounding board for our communal frustration. Kinda preaching to the Choir stuff. I am as big a violator in this regard as most anyone and am trying to limit my posts on the subject lately.
  A similar thread on another Forum has gone on  for about 63 pages  lol.
   Of course outstanding issues pertaining to the subject can be informative to all and IMHO are well worth noting.
 An example is the 'workmens comp' thing thats now gaining momentum on behalf of the Newtown workers.
 Can one just imagine the gross National impact should any worker with 'issues' pertaining to on the job nasties end up with long term therapy or even pensions for life as the result.
 Might guess that since life aint perfect many many folks have a bad memory or two from work ( I certainly do) but some will 'push it' for the benefit if it isnt drafted well. A knee jerk law could really be costly to Town Cities States in the long term.
  Face it-- with some jobs your just gonna see bad poop- ya know that goin in.
  By the way--     Startin to think NY City runs the whole state of NY.

Thats exactly why I have the quote i have..............

Yikes now you got my blood pressure up.
I have had 3 fatalities and 7 very serious career ending injuries in my time of employment here.
We do some pretty heavy duty stuff and know well it's a dangerous environment but would never come to work expecting injury because that's the nature of the beast.
Twice a year , every year we have federal mine inspectors come to inspect our facility. It's federal regulation and mandatory . We get hammered each time.
Every serious injury or event must be reported to the federal agencies and they respond right away with an investagation team.
Tell you what , in most every case the company gets cited and found at negelant ..
Not always but 9 times out of 10.

Enought of this B.S.
I'm ready to pack the bags and hit the ice
