RTIC is the more economical Yukon. I won a Yukon (YKO) cooler at a QDMA banquet. It’s sweet too but similar price range.

Like a very expensive gun board

I agree. We need to support law enforcement so they can do their job. A few bad apples can cause a negative image of many whether it be police or those who reside in the hood.

I agree 100% but that's no easy fix. It starts at home and I know of many families that raise their kids right and live in the hood but the outside pressures are immense. I don't think most folks that didn't grow up in these neighborhoods understand the magnitude of the challenges faced by youth and adults there. I admit my ignorance to these challenges until I really become more educated about the issues by speaking with the folks/friends who live in these communities.

And by the way, some of the victims of these shootings are innocent bystanders in the wrong place at the wrong time. Its not all criminal on criminal violence. The son of one of our church members was shot in a drive by two weeks ago and he was not engaged in any criminal activity. Just lives in the gang infested hood. Thankfully he will live.

I don't know whether the programs initiated through the executive order will have any impact or not. But 51 people were shot this weekend in NY and 8 of them in Rochester. Clearly something needs to be done and what we have in place isn't working to stop the violence. Blame who you want, but in the end, there needs to be change. Even if Cuomo is completely at fault, I would be happy to see something new work - be it some program from this executive order or otherwise. But just shouting "enforce the current laws" is not enough. The proof is in the shootings. And the point of my original post was that I didn't see anything in the executive order that impacted law abiding gun owners.

Congrats to Tacks buddy Sam who was Hugh bidder on the 45-70. Once paid, I will split it up and send each member their share ($85). Hopefully most have PayPal.

Lol. Some folks go off on tangents. I was literally focusing on the specific executive order - which has nothing to do with proposed legislation Re gun manufacturers. It is aimed at preventative programs and stopping the sale of illegal firearms. I can support those concepts even if I don’t like Cuomo and I don’t. But hard to keep the discussion focused. I am familiar with the problems faced in lower income areas. I attend church in these areas and many of my close friends reside in these areas. So I am all for anything that might make these areas safer.

Again it has nothing to do with that. And I refuse to continue a discussion with someone who purports to comment on a new executive order but fails read it.

Did you read the article? You said it’s disguised as a new law to take guns from law abiding citizens. It’s not a law at all and I read nothing that suggests it impacts any law abiding citizens.

You will have to show me that as I saw nothing from the article other than preventive programs for kids and task force to address illegal ie unregistered guns used by criminals. I know we all hate restrictive gun laws and cuomo but I also don’t jump to conclusions simply because he wants to address gun violence. It is out of hand right now.

Ok I don’t like Cuomo at all nor do I like more restrictive gun laws. But unless I missed it, this is aimed at illegal guns used in violent crimes. I can’t say I am opposed to efforts to curb that. We literally have a shooting or more a day here in Rochester. Something needs to be done.

You were on the right team this time. Lol

And nice job on this Culver!

Congrats ncountry!

Just a reminder, I need the team 2 bids by tomorrow at midnight. Still waiting on 5. Thx

I will give you $60k but you have to include all your weatherbys or I will do $45k if you include the weatherbys and your Matthews bow.

And I already let Bob know my bid just to confirm we are keeping it honest. Good luck Team 2 members. Bid high because you either get gun or 1/7 of high bid. Lol.

Adding tacks also for Sam (non forum member on team) @The_Real_TCIII

Adding the additional team 2 members since I can only list 4 per post. See above. Thx @XGX7PM @Lawdwaz

ATTENTION Team 2 @mlammerhirt @Nomad @grampy @ncountry Please pm me your bid by midnight on Tuesday July 6. Tacks will get me the nonmember bid. High bidder announced Wed July 7 and I ask that the high bidder send me payment by end of day Wed. so that I can advise Bob who will won the 45-70. If I don’t receive payment by then, it goes to next high bidder. The high bidder can then pick up gun from Avon gun subject to background check I will split the proceeds 7 ways among the team members who are not the high bidder. Thanks

And to confirm that I don’t wait and bid last, I can text my bid to Bob or another team member before anyone else sends me theirs. again, if anyone has a better idea, speak up.

Appreciate the thought Dave, but we should stick with the plan. I am thinking we just set a deadline for everyone to submit their one bid (maybe by PM or text), high bidder gets it and pays within 24hrs so I can distribute 1/7 share to rest of the team members. I will give name of high bidder to Bob and winner can pick up gun at Avon. If anyone objects to that, let me know. It’s not set in stone. I hadn’t really thought through the bid process when I organized the teams. Lol

Congrats all

Nomad won a gun off the board and team 2 won the 45-70. Touch base on Tuesday to decide how we auction that off within the group. Top bidder gets it with other 7 splitting payment. Not sure whether we do a live auction or everyone submits their highest written bid (probably easiest).
