We didn't see any seaweed North of La Paz in the Sea of Cortez.
Fish, yes. We ate well from the Sea.

Worthless. A 22LR is just going to piss off someone, and not stop them. One shot. I think you would be more intimidating shooting them with a 12 gauge flare. Or just carry a real gun. I don't think this adapter gets you around any firearm rules. Heck, even in the Bahamas, you would still have to compare the ammo.

We go through this often. At best it's a firearm, just like a "real" gun, but likely since your obviously sneaking it in and have not declared it, your gun smuggling, and then you shot the judges favorite nephew with a smuggled firearm. You can imagine the world of hurt your in.
But let's get off the gun thing now as this invariably closes threads faster than anything

Im personally disgusted at the lengths the media goes to craft peoples opinions of what is taking place. I wasn't born yesterday. I remember what took place in the past, I know who certain people are, so when I see news organizations creating a false reality which I know isn't true it really pisses me off. And when I see people buying into this false narrative I realize how it is a lost cause.
But I think that is the way it has always been. We've never been told the truth.
Those trusted news casters were never trustworthy, we just didn't know it.

well said

I'd think it'd be easier to have a shorty 12ga that is declared to customs. Dual purpose as you could fire flares AND buck/bird shot out of the same gun.

No?

Gentle people
For the purpose of this thread........ LEAVE ALL POLITICS AND GUNS OUT OF IT.

Seriously.

Meat servo, when my wife and me were young, I worked at Mc Clellan Air Force Base fixing A10 warthogs. 1984/87

My wife was a fresh out of college kindergartener teacher in Rio Linda Ca, school district.

The place hasn't changed other then more white trash moved in over the years.


A common pick up line in the bars in Rio Linda Ca, is " nice tooth" girl.

[meatservo]

Never been there,

That's a Rush reference...

[Dirk Williams]

Meat, Rush was based in Sacramento Ca, back then. Good man?

I always wondered whether Rio Linda was a real place or a figure of speech

In the science fiction world zombies generally represent the starving masses of millions roaming the country... after a total collapse of the system.
Unless it's just used for gore.. as some teen zombie movies are/were..

my take ..

[s/v Jedi]

When you watch the violence in the streets of California then it's clear that the zombie hordes are starting to form :-o

[Adelie]

Huh. Apparently I've missed something here. Other than a few construction workers bumping chests the only violence I've been aware of is a cop in ElCajon shooting some black guy because he had an E-cigarette in his hand and the cop couldn't tell it wasn't a gun.

I'll keep my eyes open for those zombie mobs, sounds entertaining.
