I've heard reports from 2 family members living in N.Y that weapons are being taken like what happened in New Orleans, have'nt seen any reports of such, have you seen/heard of any such happenings going on [:(!]

    Didn't they pass a federal law forbidding the practice?

    Tell them if they can pick up an 800lb safe that's attatched to the wall and floor, they can have it. [:D]

    I would think yes since they are not allowed to have them there.

    And I heard they were confiscating all 4 wheel drive vehicles and you have to loan them your credit card too for the gas for the duration of the confiscation.

    Hey, if we're gonna send rumors around, let's juice it up a bit. [:D][:D]

    Not quite correct.

    HR 218 allows me to carry in any state, no matter the local laws or ordinances.


    Not that I'd want to go there.
