Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

Why's no one bitchin over the Govenator signing this law?.. WHOA Don't buy ammo in Cali. SO if this works in Cali how long will it take for it to spread across the lower 48 or should i say 47


People buying ammunition in California will soon have to be thumbprinted and dealers will have to keep records of sales, under legislation that REPUBLICAN Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed into law.

Michigan already told the feds to shove their gun restrictions and there's no way Texas will bow to them. There's also enough ammo flowing in under the radar to fight several wars if you really want it.

The feds can make all the stupid laws they want. They couldn't stop the flow of alcohol, drugs, or weapons, even with military help. I can't think of anything they've put a stop to.

Texas, hell no one's taking anything away from them. If someone can call 911, then tell dispatch there are two men breaking into my neighbors house and when they come out I am going to kill them.. That is gun control.

Cause he did just that, he put his phone down with the dispatcher still on the phone live, he went outside, shot and killed them then came back to the phone and said i just killed them.. He didn't get charged either..

In FL laws that apply to your home apply if you are on the street or if you're in your car. Those laws come without the fear of prosecution too.. If I feel my life is in danger, I dont have to retreat to my car or house.. I do have my CWP and do carry my Scoped Ruger Super Redhawk .44 as a side arm.

Yeah, I heard about that guy, that was pretty amusing. Did you see the video of the NAACP guys when they came out to give some speech in the neighborhood? They couldn't say a thing over the sound of all the Harleys revving up and had to leave, lol.

Sportfishermen are not the issue/target here; I don't think anybody's gonna ever tell us that we can not charter a 72' Hatteras and spend the afternoon game fishing. Likewise, a few posters to this thread have expressed concern about being able to trailer their small craft to remote inland bodies of water for recreational purposes. One poster even went so far as to lament the demise of two cycle outboard motors. I'm wondering if this particular person has ever tried to swim in a pond which surface is covered with a multi colored sheen of oil from the exhaust of these things. They've been outlawed from manufacture and replaced with cleaner 4 cycle engines for good reason.
This is a prime example of how typical it is that the same certain few folks always seem to misread a given news article and over react and misinterpret the real meaning of the said news.

The issue here is commercial overfishing and related environmental damage and has practically nothing at all to do with sportfishing either for gamefish or simple personal food supply.

They did that in MD with rock fish about 15 years ago. They've since lifted the ban now the damn blue crabs are overfished. They were 24.00 a doz for small females last year at the fishermans wharf.

The Chesapeake Bay is slowly coming back to life now after approaching death for so many years due to pollution levels and overfishing.

I grew up close to there and can remember blue claws 8-9" point to point; hell ya could catch a whole bushel in an afternoon around some bridges- just usin' some chicken necks, some heavy cord and your net.

And you say now they're 2 bucks each for little females? Jeminy Christmas!

And rex is wrong again, big surprise.

I used to crab like that in the 80s when I spent my summers in Mayo MD. There was a place down there called Haymans they had the best crabs, would get those little neck clams..

Now the Jumbo Blues are not so jumbo looking anymore. I just go buy picked backfin at Giant or this place that sells crabcakes made with lump the size of a soft ball.. 18.00 for one cake and has enough bread crumbs to hold it together.. rest is meat, hell I've never been able to finish one lol
