Two days of school then off to TURKEY DAY! Turkey, dressing, my momma’s sweet potatoes, cranberry salad, mmmm GOOD!

Over the break my brother will be giving me back me BAS Villager.
"Why?" you ask, well he is supposedly moving to Connecticut and he "doesn’t feel safe traveling with it". I told him that he is full of poo, but I am planning on putting a mean edge on it and mailing it to him.

BTW, anyone know any thing about Knife and Gun laws in Connecticut? Not so much for him, but for me incase I go to visit.
(He falls in the sheeple category, unfortunately.)

Geez...now my HIKV is kickin in... Villagers sound nice.
 
I wonder if he would feel more comfortable with weapons in the hands of felons? The myth is feeling safe. We aren't 'safe'. It can be a dangerous world.
...my own bro stopped speaking to me sometime after I joined the NRA and married a Christian. He won't speak to my sons either. That's just as well; they'll be heavily armed when able. He wouldn't feel safe.

When I turned 21 for my birthday we went out drinking. (After Sept 11th)We had a huge argurment over politics and over why I was going into the Air Force.
I used to know my brother. We lived in the same room for 16 years, and after his 4 years in college in New York, he came back a different person. (I guess that is what I get for having a Musician for a brother.)
Now I know why people love going home to see their families for the holidays. :rolleyes:

I wonder if this Thanksgiving / Christmas will end up like the National Lampoons flick?
 
Families are the friends the creator chooses for us, friends are the family we get to pick ourselves. Love 'em both, they're part of your journey.

Have a good trip Dave:)

Hey, if you want to see a great funny movie about visiting family rent "Home for the Holidays" with Holly Hunter. Sad and funny and rings true with all of us that don't have perfect family relationships (or IS that all of us:rolleyes:) Guarantee you'll laugh out loud--ESPECIALLY if you rent it AFTER you come back:D
 
I thought that was a beautifull thought, silverfalcon. I've said this before, but like the Mormon's idea that our children choose us while with the Heavenly Father.

Ah only two more days till Thanksgiving!
Samurai - it's hard to find knife laws especially up to date ones.
The best place (really the only place) I've found online has a listing of state laws (as of 1996 - they don't change much).

for Connecticut the link is

They look pretty strict, only allow a 4 inch blade?! yikes...

Alabama state law just won't let you carry an 11" blade concealed otherwise its ok. :D
(of course with any state there are rules for county/city/district, etc etc) :barf:
 
...in vehicles. I wonder if there are provisions for locking it in a trunk or box while carrying to campsite? chalk up another state I'll never live in.


I served my time in Calif.

Dave-

Ain't the music; check your colleges. I heard the same crap during my college days in the early '70s. I've worked with a number of musicians that not only go armed most all the time, many of them, especially in Nashville, are NRA members, as well as Musician Union members. I was amazed that in the '70s we had college professors preaching this "unarmed citizen" crap; especially in the south, but they were. Professor I worked research for was 'protected' every day. My Anatomy & Physiology instructor was an NRA instructor & one hell of a pistol shot. Got on a bus one time for about three weeks out on the road as a fill-in bass player, & the "star" on board showed me where they kept the sawed-off before we ever left the parking lot. He wore a Detective Special Colt .38 Special 24/7. I never doubted he would use it if he had to. Worked a couple of months one time behind a pretty well known singer/songwriter who had her own shooting range & used it nearly every day. First time I rehearsed at her house, she cautioned me that any weapon you see in this house is loaded & there were several.....she liked Browning Hi-Powers a lot! Years after this, I heard that she had used one to defend herself in a house break-in. Practice must have paid off; the dude breaking in was armed, but he missed the first shot he fired....she didn't. There is a popular traditional/bluegrass musician I know that has the largest collection of Winchester Lever Actions in the state....nice guy, great songwriter, fantastic musician, NRA member & armed to the teeth.
 
DKP, it's the colleges, and then again, it isn't. I mean, aren't we intelligent individuals, able to make our own minds up? I was a hippie who went to a hippie factory college in the early 70's. I remember the arguments I had with the entire 'Psychology of Sex Roles" class because their own texts showed a strong genetic determinism. Youd thought I'd raped someone to suggest the sexes were different. I was mistaken, you see; I thought being a hippie meant quesioning all values...not just swallowing a platter.

I never trusted herds again, or the 'left'. And they me; they don't talk to me, I've gone 'over' the brink, you see...

I live in Connecticut and have a 3 Khuks over the 4" limit. You can't carry them in public (or on public land AFAIK) but I believe the law allows carry in a locked trunk. Several knife stores (actually gunshops) in CT sell knives and swords well over 4". Ya gotta get 'em home somehow...
Just don't tuck a 18.5" BAS down next to the drivers seat:eek:

I know all kinds of people but friends are but a few. The friends are worth more than all the acquaintances put together.

Most of the folks I would call friend are on this forum. Thank You.:)
