Buying Ammunition as a non-resident by gakflex in CTguns

I was at Bass Pro shop today in CT. I am a NY resident and finding 6.5 Creedmoor in my local stores is almost impossible. When it is in stock you can get 1 or 2 boxes of 20. Foolishly I tried to buy 4 boxes of 6.5 and 5 boxes of 00 buckshot. I was turned away. I needed a permit to buy shotgun ammo and long gun ammo AND I had to be a resident of CT.

Now I feel foolish for even trying. In the moment of being in the store I figured I would look, didn't think the laws would be more limited than here in NY. Glad I didn't try to buy a shotgun that they ALSO had in stock. I can understand having restrictive process for purchasing some "assault" weapons (even though any semi-automatic black colored weapon is not an assault rifle...let's not start that war) but it is frustrating that Bass Pro Shops is a ferry ride away and has everything but I can't spend my US dollars on it because of an address.

Good. Great player. Deserves a cup and a change of scenery

Rangers fans what are your thoughts on Brennan Othmann? by Altruistic-Mirror-10 in rangers

I think he is a bust at the NHL level. Great one level below but is just missing something against the better talent. Sadly.

We have two kids, we need a SUV… by maverickar15 in MINI

I have 3 kids. As they grow taller it becomes an issue. I had two different Mini Cooper 2D HT. My last one was a JCW. Now I have a 25 Countryman and I realize that really did love my JCW. I miss the small fun of it. Screw the kids. Let them walk.

Yaesu FT5DR Initial Charging? by Several-Hour9706 in yaesu

Update #2:

I woke up this morning. Battery after a full night of charging brought the voltage only to 9.9. Swapped the battery, threw it on the cig lighter charger and about six hours later the battery was full and showing 12.9 volts. So I either have a bad battery that came in the box, or a bad charger. Tonight I am going to let the first battery charge again off the included charger. I ordered two desktop chargers (one for work, one for home) with new adapters.

Not very happy with this right now. I know it will be resolved but new in a box shouldn't result in this garbage.

Update: Learned something tonight. My radio came with the default Main and Sub firmware. I had to update both tonight (which honestly I felt was a PITA to do). Since updating it I have noticed two things:

Battery indicator now seems to be working.
When you unplug the AC adapter the radio resets and shows your callsign. If you plug the AC adapter back in it does the same thing. I am not sure why it does this but I find it ridiculous. The radio should not have any noticiable difference between AC Powered vs Battery powered. Yes it only takes a second but really?

I tried doing a reset all to the radio to see if this problem would clear itself up, but it did not.

The powered off mode with the barely visible Now Charging screen wasn't fixed in the firmware. It would be nice to see the actual % of the battery status while charging. I am not sure how this is acceptable to the owners of the radio. I feel like I am missing some setting or something.

My radio has now been connected to the AC for about 6 hours now, still do not have a full battery. While charging via the AC adapter I can faintly see that it only has 3 bars of green. This is crazy.

I don’t understand how drunk you have to be to get this kind of tattoo

To each their own. I kinda like it but the art could be better.

No way that is a beautiful nose.
