    Re: anyone interested in doing this again?

    i had no trouble picking up .308 the other day... in the Garden State, of all places. people say it's scarce, but i paid basically a dollar per round at a sporting good store when taking possession of my new M1A. (i should stop mentioning it, out of a desire to not seem crass or gabby... but like a proud parent i'm just really, really thrilled with this new addition to the family. ok, that's the last time i post the link to the photos anywhere.)

    stories of .380 ACP for pistols on the other hand... those are nuts. there isn't any of that stuff anywhere. and i have seen signs in stores limiting buyers of .45 ACP to two boxes each. it pays to have thought in advance and keep 1,000 rounds minimum for all your personal calibers in one's zombie stash.

I don't feel cool when I go there. I'm tired of seeing John Mayer's face pop up. I feel like I'm being hustled when I visit there, and I don't think their product is that great. DRM, low bit rate, etc... OiNK it existed because it filled a void of what people want."

        Indeed, hell just bullets for reloading are up to a buck a pop for .223, if you can find them that is. And may whatever deity you worship help you if you're looking for handgun ammo. Even Wolf's manufacturing plant in Orange County is a dry well lately.

        She is beautiful, Deviant. You have every right to boast about her... Besides, I'd rather see pictures of hardware than babies any day.

                Nice.

                    we seem to have a location lined up now, see other thread.

                        Count me in. i will have a car and i might have an extra seat depending on if the guns will fit in the trunk without folding the back seats down.

                            Count Doodle & I in the "newbie" column. I'll have a car, also, with definite extra seating and a fair bit of cargo space.

                                The greatest part is that this isn't a photoshopped setup. I mean, yes, i used photoshop to adapt the lighting and hue to match that scene... but that's actually the front porch of the fellow who was hosting the Deer and Beer event that i attended today. Knowing in advance that it was a perfect "any street USA" just like in the film, i made sure to pack a flag i had purchased on the ShakaCon trip and made a funny phone call...

                                "hey, how exactly would you feel about taking a photo in your front yard if my M1A rifle was involved?"
                                "that sounds swell. let's do it!"
                                "great! and, uhm... how will your neighbors feel about this?"
                                "eh, it probably won't surprise them all that much"
                                "that sounds... uh... hmmmm."

                                    I'm interested in going, but I don't know if I can get to the Riviera by 7, so I'm definitely a maybe.
                                    edit: can't make it. oh well.

                                    It's not stupid, it's advanced.
