no, but unfortunately we rarely get the full story in many of these cases....are they petty or is there a lot more to them? I could come up with a dozen reasons that could possibly fit in the puzzle of those two stories that led to the confiscation, but that would be pointless.

I'm well aware of how that works, but I didn't see where anyone mentioned throwing someone out of the house.

oh,I don't doubt it can happen to anyone.............I was just posting my thoughts on people who invite law enforcement into their lives for nonsense and unwittingly open themselves up to more trouble then they were looking for..........what someone else does to you may not be under your control, but what YOU do to yourself or family members certainly is.

exactly! but to some people having the police at their home is no different then seeing the mailman.............

my comments are pretty much about these nonsense Domestic disputes, which is where you can run into trouble when it comes to guns, there are way too many people inviting the police into their lives and homes for nonsense that really doesn't require police action, but is just about one person sticking it to another without realizing the potential consequences.....it's beyond me to even imagine calling the cops to help settle an argument between my wife and me.

If never having the police come into my home to intercede in a family fight either while growing up in my parents house or as an adult with my own family, means I've lived a sheltered life, then I'm guilty as charged..........and I really can't remember any other family member needing them for that reason either............but we all have the dysfunctional family in our neighborhood that always has a cop car parked in front of their house for one reason or another, normal? not in my book.

my point was those are things that don't occur in the average household..........especially the second one with Mom taking the gun.

if I remember correctly, the first story was an argument with Daddy over doing laundry or something along those lines.........the second is about a guy who owes Mommy money, so she takes his gun and hides it........pretty normal behavior between adults, wouldn't you say?............I just find the story lines behind each incident to be pretty comical.

this is why, when you become a grown up you should move out of your parents house......or at least be a good boy if you have to.

same thing in 1C on Long Island, pretty simple.........

who would do that? people who have had bad experiences that only had happy endings due to a large broadhead.......bad shots stick with most normal people long after it's all said and done, and they carry that with them into future hunts by remembering that bad shot and why it turned out ok in the end......not really tough to understand.

if you're preoccupied with making bad shots, then by all means go with a large diameter mechanical that can make the difference between a loss and a recovery and set your bow up so it can allow them to perform properly.....and I don't mean that comment in a negative way at all............I personally like to use a fixed blade and hit the woods thinking positively.

yep, my Dodge has 205,000 on it and running strong and I've put about $3000.00 into it the past 2 years....but still better than a monthly payment........

don't get me wrong, it's definitely a good thing...but I think most guys who do that kind of stuff won't stop until they get caught......hopefully I'm wrong. I just don't see guys thinking to themselves "oh man, if I get caught this is gonna cost me a $1000.00"...to me, the loss of a license and hunting privileges is worse than a big fine and this consequence has been out there for awhile, but guys keep doing it.

does it have fuel injectors?...and to add to Belo's comment, I just had a tuneup on my Dodge, 3 plugs were bad right from the factory.

oh no,I'm not talking about things like that, I'm talking about the ones who pick up a 12 pack and cruise around consuming the whole thing and toss the trash so it doesn't build up in their car...obviously the only evidence needed would be their drunkenness.

I tend to think that most of the beer cans are not from hunters as well, it's the slobs who can't control themselves and need to drink and drive around for one reason or another, they just get rid of the evidence as they go along......suck one down and toss the can out of the window, and when they stop and urinate on the roadside they toss whatever else they want to get rid of........I was driving behind a car a few weeks back and watched as they tossed out the wrappers from whatever fast food they were chowing down on, and it was the kids in the back seat, who were obviously taught that by the adult slobs who were driving.

nope, most criminals do what they do even knowing the potential consequences.....they just don't care.

I work around Republic Airport and get to watch the planes as they come and go to the Airshow at Jones Beach......good stuff for sure. The coolest thing to see is the Blue Angels "Fat Albert" jet assisted C-130, I don't think it plays a part in the shows, but more or less brings their gear to the shows, but I may be wrong. Either way, very impressive to watch it take off.

if you want to move on to a fixed head, the slick trick is definitely a good starting point....you may very well not have to look any further.

the best broadhead I have ever shot so far.....and I have no reason to look for one better.

I have a tough time blaming the low turkey numbers on Coyotes and Fisher......from my experience, the turkey population exploded and then dropped to a sustainable population well before the coyote and fisher population became a concern.

yeah, I'm pretty sure Vultures eat carrion......

it seems the stilleto is a style of switchblade as well as a style of fixed blade knife??????

I think and I may be wrong, that in NY the term "Stilleto" (right or wrong) means the blade shoots out the front of the handle, while the "switchblade" flips out from the side when the button is pushed in, activating the spring that opens the knife.....
