We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Oh gosh, that's just too funny, and knowing that it's a real story, well...,
that's better than the joke I like to tell about the hunting widow who insisted that her husband was going to start taking her along with him when he went deer hunting.
To make a long story short, he went and got her the whole get up, shot gun, camo gear, the "works" basically, took her out to her stand and said "This is your stand, if you see a deer walking by within range, shoot it." He then proceeded over to his stand and when he was just yards from his own stand, he heard several blasts coming from the direction of the stand his wife was at, so he started running toward where he had just left his wife.
When he finally got there, he saw his wife pointing her shot gun at a man nervously holding his hands up in the air, nodding his head and saying " Okay, Okay lady, it's your deer, it's your deer! Just let me get my saddle off of it and you can have him!"

That shouldn't stop you. People don't always carry, some CC. It's not the guns that holds the group together.

Well, Day'em. I didn't show up south of the Ni til about 1030. If i'd known there was sump'n going on I would have drug ma azz up earlier. I have to admit, I was slacking on seeing any OC breakfast announcements.
Always something going on. We were there till at least 11:30...then I went to the flea market looking at old reels again (I want a Penn International some kind of bad) then out to the swamp and checked a camera I have there.
Just a wood duck. The Beavers aren't cooperating.

Maybe it's just me, but this seems "wrong" in at least a half-a-dozen different ways...

It's par for the course for people who think OC is bad or disagree with it (as a whole).

Exactly, palerider...,
What Peter Nap says, +1000, I imagine someone may even buy your first breakfast, and thanks again Peter, for the pictures, and thanks again to this little band (and you know who you are) that springs into action and gives so tirelessly and selflessly of themselves, their talents and their treasures when need arises, you humble and bless me at the same time..., time and time again.

This one's for Peter, pretty sure he'll enjoy it...
Dave was feeling listless and run down, so he went to visit his Uncle Jim out in the country. But once he got there, he still just moped around the house. So Uncle Jim says to him, "Davey, why don't you take this shotgun and the dogs, go out in the woods and do a little shooting."
Well, a few hours later, Dave comes strolling back to the house, obviously in a much better mood.
"Wow, Uncle Jim, you were right! That was a lot of fun. I'd like to do that again tomorrow!"
"Ya got any more dogs?"

Bake Sale Today
Well ventured once again south of the Ni again and cruised by Greentops. Some folks OC'n including myself within the joint. Picked up a can of powder and 500 Sierra 77 Grain .22 bullets. Appears they are getting some stuff trickling in. Got Dang and they changed the store around. All the reloading stuff is all the way right of the store now. Grabbed few brownies on the way out from the Archery support folks bake sale going on as well. Yum.

Yeah..they've been moving stuff for a week. The last time I was in there they had some to the right, some to the left and a bunch in a shopping cart awaiting transport....in the cart there was a box of Berger 185 gr 30 cal which I hadn't seen on the shelf.
BP has been getting a few things in. The other night I found some Varget. Last night I found 4 pounds of Bullseye and a box of Nosler 165 gr 30 cal.

Must be in law enforcement. I find it strange that any employer can dictate what you do on your own time.

I understand that in the sense that you could be needed at a moment's notice at any time. But to control how you dress (as in wear your sidearm) just seems a bit off beat to me. Can they also control how you choose to dress, in terms of clothes or your drinking (legal and responsible, of course)?

Some of what is dictated by the administration is unspoken.
I was always required to have my badge and ID with me. If I was at the beach, my badge and ID sat in a fanny pack or bag. You are encouraged to have your weapon as well. You are also told that you have to hold yourself to certain standards and some of those are unwritten rules.
As far as drinking goes, an accountant who gets a DUI goes to work the next day. A cop quite often loses his job or gets punished in some fashion. You could always be subject to recall for an emergency, or on call of some sort....its a bit different than your typical 9-5 job.

I was going to ask about the beach situation. Suppose you are at a beach perhaps 4-500 miles away. Is there a likelihood that you could be called and told to cut your vacation short and report back? I am a retired software engineer and I know that on some projects, that could and was very well the case. In one case, a manager wanted those going on vacation to leave the name and number of the motel/hotel where we were staying just in case they had to get in touch with us. Crazy but that is the choice one makes in their chosen profession.
