Another one sent up. What a beautiful little lady.

Gos bless Texas In the State of Texas, I do not have to transfer it or make any record of the transaction. It may be in my best interest to do so, but I do not have to make any record of the sale.

It is absurd to argue that Obama will take our hunting rifles and ban guns (or the Democrats for that matter). They easily could be the ones who make it possible though when the time is right. I could see in the future if there are a few more Virginia Tech incidents or if the skin heads had succeeded in their plans that the anti-gun crowd could make it unpopular to NOT vote for banning certain guns. Who could argue that our rights to own guns is more important than the lives of children? After all, they are not infringing upon your right as much as they are protecting the lives of people and children. No, they won't bust down your front door and take your guns, they will publically make you look like an idiot for demanding to keep your guns. Do you remember Obama saying he does not want to take the hunting guns out of our hands but does want to take AK-47's out of the hands of criminals? How can you argue with that? How is he going to accomplish that without banning them out right? "yea hunters contribute too much money to the economy." ...and there is also millions of dollars being pumped in to the anti-gun and anti-hunting organizations.

Steve, I think you need to review some voting records and prior comments on the subject of gun rights of several SENIOR senators that will now have a friendly pen in the White House. Some of those ppl "freaking" and comments on this bb have merit - some are, well, you know. But chaos, come on. Get real. I complete 4473's as well. I will not give them a hard time about "freaking" out. It does NOT bother me one bit that their motivation is that they believe they may not have the ability to purchase a particular type of gun in the future. It is still their RIGHT to purchase a gun anytime that the desire to do so ..... for now. Maybe what IS bugging you is that their assumption might be correct.

"Several cars were painted with car chalk. My favorites were "My President is BLACK" and McCain's name in a circle with a slash through it. " Best bumper sticker I've seen yet: B.O. - smell the change.

I'll say it again. I did not see anyone "freaking" and I did not see any chaos, just ppl excercising their right while they still have it.

What I saw at the store was NOT ppl "freaking" but taking advantage of the current situation before it "changes". If he had not won the election, there would not be any need to take this opportunity to purchase a gun before the assault rifle ban is reinstated. Simple. But having said that... "Its not the end of the world bu any means ... buy your stuff and move on." Just having the attitude of buying your stuff and moving on is quite disturbing when a constitutional right is being infringed upon. Sounds like guns is not the only thing that is being bought.

You know, I work in an environment where the majority of officers are black and/or Democrats. You should have heard the "small talk" coming from them when dubya won the second term. They did not hold back from verbalizing their outrage and I had to walk around as if walking on eggshells for several weeks. Why should the "white man" not be able to vent their outrage? What is good for the goose is not good for the gander? I will not apologize for my outrage anymore - which has NOTHING to do with his skin color!!! It has everything to do with his VOTING RECORD as a senator.

no reason to freak... yeah right I work at Academy sports in the hunting section on the weekends. I stoped in the store Tuesday morning to buy some energy bars and the hunting manager said we had sold all the AR-15s except a few that were slow sellers anyway. Alot can happen in 4 years and if there are several more incidents like Georgia tech, the congress will have a friendly pen in the White House. His voting record speaks for itself. If there are more incidents, it will be unpopular to vote against more restrictions. Just think if those skin heads were successful in attacking the black school kids. I am not saying that the Democrats are going to do it unabated but I am saying that the time is right for this thing to come about and all the pieces are coming into place with revisionist history and judicial interpretation of the intent of the constitution. Based on his statements about how long "the change" could take to come about, he is confident he will have 2 terms to implement "the change". "Absolutely no reason for ppl to freak ... over reaction just leads to chaos." I think that the overreaction is really a statement that we do not believe him when he says he will listen to our concerns and include us in his process. He has already said he would not take away any guns for hunting but he would take away AK-47's from criminals. How does he intend to do what no one else could without out right banning those guns from everyone? If you don't like "black guns", then Obama is your man.

Please add my name. I wish I could say I knew him better.

Don't believe the hype!!! Stocks likely to recover no matter who's president Published - Nov 02 2008 02:56PM CST By MADLEN READ - AP Business Writer Wall Street prefers Republicans, McCain supporters argue. But stocks have done better under Democratic presidents, Obama supporters fire back. When it comes to the stock market _ especially this turbulent market _ does it really matter who is elected president? Yes and no. Politicians do influence the economy _ and they'll play a big role in how the country emerges from this current crisis. But analysts say neither presidential candidate can be a cure for what's ailing Wall Street. The economy is a big, big machine, and the president is one government bureaucrat," said Ron Florance, Wells Fargo Private Bank Director of Asset Allocation. Moreover, most analysts believe the battered stock market has nowhere to go but up next year, no matter who ends up in the White House _ and history will probably give the victor credit even if he actually had little to do with the rally. "The timing couldn't be better," Florance said. Still, the stock market is just one part of the economy, and under either Barack Obama or John McCain, the United States needs to recover from a downturn whose severity has not yet been determined. And either candidate will face a budget deficit of around $500 billion when he's sworn into office _ a shortfall expected to climb to $1 trillion next year. Because of the deficit, the financial climate might end up affecting the new president's policies more than his policies will affect the financial climate. "This whole financial crisis will largely serve as an agenda buster for at least the first year," said John Lynch, chief market analyst at Evergreen Investments. That's not to say, of course, there aren't differences in the impact McCain or Obama would have on U.S. businesses, and in turn, their stocks. Robert Froehlich, an investment strategist at Deutsche Bank, said it's likely that under Obama, the alternative energy sector would do well, and possibly the paper and steel industries if he enforces trade treaties. And under McCain, Froehlich said, it's likely that big energy companies would do better because he does not support a windfall profits tax, and that financial companies could benefit because of his stance on dividend taxes, long-term capital gains taxes, and estate taxes. "Don't expect the next president to say, 'I'm strapped with this economic crisis, I'm going to throw all my plans away,'" Froehlich said. There are historical trends one can draw between presidents and how the stock market performs. The question is how seriously to take them. The Dow Jones industrial average and the broader Standard & Poor's 500 index have posted larger returns during the terms of Democratic presidents. But this statistic doesn't prove that Democratic policies boost the stock market _ the major indexes have also done better under a Republican Congress than a Democratic Congress. Another pattern to take note of is the stock market's apparent four-year cycle, described by market historian Yale Hirsch in his Presidential Election Cycle Theory. The theory says the stock market does well in a presidential election year, badly in the year after the election and then improves until the next presidential election. This pattern has held up for most of the century, although it's being tested by the two terms of President George W. Bush. However, the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve, rather than the influence of the president, can explain this pattern better, according to a 2007 study by CFA Institute Education managing director Robert Johnson, University of Wisconsin professor Scott Beyer and Northern Illinois University professor Gerald Jensen. Their study found that the Fed has tended to lower interest rates during the latter half of presidential terms _ and lower interest rates encourage borrowing and spending. At the end of the day, using the returns under previous presidents to predict the market's performance under another president gets to be like reading tea leaves. You'd probably do just as well basing your investments on next year's Super Bowl _ Wall Street's infamous "Super Bowl Indicator" postulates that a victory by a team that was part of the original National Football League, before it merged with the American Football League in 1970, will result in better gains for the stock market. It's actually been right most of the time. The lesson, of course, isn't to base investment choices on a football game. (Anyone who rushed to buy stocks after the New York Giants' win in 2008 probably got pretty burned). Rather, the point is that correlation isn't the same as causation. And investors shouldn't get too caught up in the market's short-term reaction after the election results. The Dow surged, for example, after President Hoover was elected in 1928 _ and the next year the it crashed, ushering in the Great Depression.

I let one rip last night and my son yelled out, "Clean up, aisle one!!" The little stinker.

I remember another story here in Texas about a year or two ago where some friends were out shooting the guns on private land and they allowed a young boy, probably about the same age, shoot a .45 caliber pistol or revolver. Also, in this case, there were other men watching the boy while the Dad was doing something else. The boy shot the gun and the recoil was too much. The gun came back, stuck him in the forehead and killed him instantly. When my 13 year old son is shooting ANY gun, even the .243 he has shoot since he was 8 years old, the only one, except my dad and my father-in-law (who was an NRA instructor), that is going to oversee my son when he is shooting is me. Even though he has years of experince shooting and has his hunters education completed, he is not going to hunt alone with a high-powered rifle until he is 17.

Boy, 8, shoots himself to death at Mass. gun show Published - Oct 27 2008 08:24PM CDT | AP By SUSAN HAIGH - Associated Press Writer With an instructor watching, an 8-year-old boy at a gun fair aimed an Uzi at a pumpkin and pulled the trigger as his dad reached for a camera. It was his first time shooting a fully automatic machine gun, and the recoil of the weapon was too much for him. He lost control and fatally shooting himself in the head. Now gun safety experts _ and some gun enthusiasts at the club where the shooting happened _ are wondering why such a young child was allowed to fire a weapon used in war. Local, state and federal authorities are also investigating whether everyone involved had proper licenses or if anyone committed a criminal act. "It's easy to lose control of a weapon like that ... they are used on a battleground for a very good reason," said Jerry Belair, a spokesman for Stop Handgun Violence, based in Newton, Mass. "It's to shoot as many times as you possibly can without having to reload at an enemy that's approaching. It's not a toy. It's not something to play with." Police said Christopher Bizilj (Bah-SEAL) of Ashford, Conn., was pronounced dead at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, Mass., on Sunday afternoon, shortly after firing a 9mm micro Uzi submachine gun at the Machine Gun Shoot and Firearms Expo at the Westfield Sportsman's Club, co-sponsored by C.O.P. Firearms & Training. "The weapon was loaded and ready to fire," Westfield police Lt. Hipolito Nunez said. "The 8-year-old victim had the Uzi and as he was firing the weapon, the front end of the weapon went up with the backfire and he ended up receiving a round in his head." Nunez said the investigation is continuing. Christopher, a third-grader, was attending the show with his father and sixth-grade brother, Colin. Christopher had fired handguns and rifles before, but Sunday was his first time firing an automatic weapon, said his father, Charles Bizilj. Bizilj told the Boston Globe he was about 10 feet behind his son and reaching for his camera when the weapon fired. He said his family avoided the larger weapons, but he let his son try the Uzi because it's a small weapon with little recoil. "This accident was truly a mystery to me," said Bizilj, director of emergency medicine at Johnson Memorial Hospital in Stafford, Conn. "This is a horrible event, a horrible travesty, and I really don't know why it happened." Police are calling the shooting an accident but are investigating whether everyone connected with the incident had proper weapons permits. Massachusetts requires licenses to own firearms, and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives issues different licenses to possess machine guns. The machine gun shoot drew hundreds of people from as far away as Maine and Virginia. An advertisement said it would include machine gun demonstrations and rentals and free handgun lessons. "It's all legal & fun _ No permits or licenses required!!!!" reads the ad, posted on the club's Web site. "You will be accompanied to the firing line with a Certified Instructor to guide you. But You Are In Control _ "FULL AUTO ROCK & ROLL," the ad said. The ad also said children under 16 would be admitted free, and both adults and children were offered free .22-caliber pistol and rifle shooting. Massachusetts has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation. It is legal in Massachusetts for children to fire a weapon if they have permission from a parent or legal guardian and they are supervised by a properly certified and licensed instructor, Nunez said. The name of the instructor who was with the boy at the time was not released. "We do not know at this time the full facts of this incident," Nunez said Monday. ___ Associated Press Writer Pat Eaton-Robb in Ashford, Conn., and Denise Lavoie in Boston contributed to this report.

Lead ducks don't fly as fast as blasted ducks so you don't have to lead them as far. Am I at 500 posts yet?

Do you get the duck down off the horse or does the horse have to duck down first? sorry.

Lead ducks don't swim far, they sink.

NAHC forum members have been doing Get Togethers (GT's) since 2001. I don't know if they still do it, but they started GT's back in 2000 or so. Back in 2006 or 2007, the members created (with permission of NAHC) their own NAHC flag to fly at the GT's.

No need to call corporate... they do not own the station or dictate what price to sell the gas. A station, or group of stations, are owned by individuals. Also, remember that stations have to purchase their gas in advance, so the price you are paying at the pump is the price of the gas the station is purchasing for next week (or whatever the time period is in the future). I also noticed that within my own city of Richardson, State Highway 75 (Central Expressway) goes through the city on its way to downtown Dallas. The stations that are right on the highway intersections are about 10 to 20 cents higher that stations about 5 miles in town from the highway. Both are within the same city and county, so city and county taxes would be the same. You would think that the stations on the highway would do a higher volume than the ones in town so they would be cheaper. Not so. Sounds like GREED to me!

Welcome fellow Texan! Glad to have you here to liven up the place Like you, I ..... ...uh, I ain't got nothin'.
