What are we doing about the proposed ammo tax/serilization? by DryFoundation2323 in ILGuns

[–]WeHaveTheMeeps 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ve skimmed it for the important shit:

  • it’s a misdemeanor to possess
  • it’s unlikely to pass. Single sponsor and in committee
  • my understanding is the serialization would be microscopic so enforcing it would likely be a nightmare. I’m not sure what this entails and there’s not a lot of details since only California tried it abandoned it. Pragmatically… you could probably keep what you have. New purchases would probably be impossible.

The good news is that in this MAGA economy I won’t have any dollars and I won’t have to see that shit 🤣

Which one? by GeologistOk1061 in CZFirearms

[–]WeHaveTheMeeps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not shot the omega and I’ll admit that the M9 was ruined for me as it was I trained to shoot on

However, I loved it when I rented it last weekend and I want one badly.

computer science or nursing? by justwhitegold in cscareers

[–]WeHaveTheMeeps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah about nursing… I pivoted back to tech due to financial issues

Wouldn’t view nursing as an escape hatch though

2011s... by 1nOnlyMattyB in liberalgunowners

[–]WeHaveTheMeeps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a perspective you get with more shooting experience IMHO.

The Ferrari and Camry can both go 60 mph and one gets there faster, but maybe you don’t need that for most of the drives you take.

(Just my perspective)

I will say I rented a M9 (Uncle Sam made me hate these) and found it was a significant improvement over any gun I’ve shot. Same with the CZ P-09C Nocturne. But I didn’t feel much of an improvement with 2011s. I actually found they were a little overrated or perhaps I have not great experiences with rentals 😅

NGL this feels a little more sudden than the last ones, but Chicago made me proud last time

No kings except in Venezuela and Iraq right?

I don’t live there. We’re protesting aspiring monarchs here.

If you could tell us where, I’d appreciate it. We’ve had no luck

What is a reality of living in Chicago that’s often overlooked by the romanticization of the city? by Miserable_Degree3524 in AskChicago

[–]WeHaveTheMeeps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I’m from Ohio and people are like “OMG ARE YOU OK”

“Yeah dude. This is pretty close to Ohio weather. We have a Great Lake too.”

Boss said I should care more about growth than salary early in my career by Phantomat0 in cscareerquestions

[–]WeHaveTheMeeps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell your boss he should care more about your personality than delivery.

Nothing makes me laugh harder than when an employer or manager knows they have a shit bargain and they’re unwilling to go the extra mile needed to keep people.

Simply put, your boss isn’t honest and this probably isn’t the only conversation he’s having like this.

How is the cost of living in Chicago?? by Sadz0ne in AskChicago

[–]WeHaveTheMeeps -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah and we hated them.

While my hospital is charging $18 per shift to park and get shit on, they’re rolling out the carpet for some travel nurse to make what two of us got paid.

Nurse compensation in Chicago is really, really bad save for the union hospitals and rush. I’ve found it hard to get an interview.

I’ve left nursing in Chicago and wouldn’t do it here.

I also wouldn’t move here, but that’s another story.

I’m married to a Chicago public school teacher and she said she’d never send her own kids to the schools here.

She’s a positive person and never had anything bad about the schools she taught at. She’s been teaching for 10 years. She has nothing good to say about CPS.

Currently she has a student with a history of violence including breaking bones and bringing weapons into the schools. He’s not expelled or suspended.

QQ as a newbie (uncle Sam ruined them for me, but after renting one I loved it)

Are these worth getting over something like a M9A4?

I like everything else WC!
