You chose SA of all the cities I named.......come'on, you're stuggling there just bit arench'a chief??? My point was we have right to carry laws and our major cities are ALL in the top 10 cities for road rage.

Get you head out of your *** before spouting off things you know nothing about. Besides, with your logic of people that actually have a CHL shooting other people simply because they're mad.......like I said go drink some more koo-aid, you obviously don't have a CHL yourself.
i will be staying in the northeast, don't worry your sister is all yours... you can carry your gun to make up for where you're ehem lacking, drive two counties away to get beer, sweat your nuts off, drive 100 miles pin straight and flat, and talk about how awesome your state is. just learn spanish or you'll be sitting on the side of the road looking for work.

gurantee you've never been anywhere near NY. i have two guns in my house and a hand gun license processing. i can't roam the streets of NY with a concealed handgun but if i have to give that up so ignoramouses like you can't either i suppose it's a tradeoff i'm willing to accept.

Really? why would you ever give up one of your freedoms just to make sure no one else could exercise that freedom.

read this guys posts starting from his first one, and on through the thread, and see how mad he is over an internet message board. now picture this guy carrying concealed weapons. i own guns, several of them. do i feel the need to walk around with one all the time? no i don't.

i suppose i don't mind the law restricting who can and can't conceal weapons and walk around, because frankly the vast majority of society can't handle that responsibility. first off most people can't shoot worth a damn, so i don't want some dude who can't hit a 6x6 wall from 25 yards ever shooting a gun in public anyway. second a lot of people have depression, psychological disorders like borderline personality disorder, psychopathy etc... it's much more common than you think. one in every 20 people is a sociopath, do i want them armed and concealing weapons? of course not.

we're all for making people prove they can handle a bike before letting them on the road, but we just want to blindly let any a**hole with a shaky hand and anger management issues walk around with a concealed handgun site unseen, no test, no proof they can actually shoot the thing proficiently? it's bad enough we let every moron vote and procreate without proving they can handle it.

I obviously didn't ask to publish it but it amounts to major changes to mods on exhausts in NY. I'd suggest doing a search for the details...ONLY good thing is that I read was that it still is apparently up to the facility to decide if it is 'excessive'. FOR NOW! No SPL readings yet.. BUT you better hope you have baffles and none of those crap sounding straight drags on your scoot here! More to come... OH and by the way-I'm sure the price of stock exhausts will climb dramatically in the NYS markets! Don't sell yours yet!
There is no way in hell the state of New York is going to outfit police cars with SPL Meters and spend the money on training classes. So with no accurate way to measure the sound pressure levels, no definitive noise allowance written in to the law and no science to back it up, good luck trying to enforce it

Wow, you truly know nothing about concealed carry do you? In order to get a CHL, at least in Texas, you have to sit through the safety class, shoot proficiently, and then pass a background check that is much more comprehensive than the one you go through for the firearm purchase.

Dont get me wrong I am not sticking up for the gentleman with bad typing skills and questionable grammar. However if he is a CHL holder in Texas his background is squeaky clean and he is at least as proficient with his firearm as the average police officer. I know that some people are afraid of law abiding citizens carrying firearms legally but there really is no reason to be. I carry my 1911 every time I leave the house and have never had any reason to use it, however I would rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

i'm not just talking only concealed i'm talking carrying in general, my MOM can carry in 33 states and she has never fired her handgun yet. she went out and did this as some sort of protest. i shot with my mom in ireland and she almost killed the guy pulling skeet it was frightening.

the other dude in this thread may be able to shoot, but doubtful he would pass any psychological examination, he's an incredibly angry dude.

i don't have a problem with people carrying if they can show competency with a firearm and psychologically sound and i never meant to insinuate otherwise.

Takes about 2 maybe 3 minutes with a SERT to load the stock map then another 2-3 minutes to reload your tuned map. Plus you can lean it out to pass emissions testing...ride to the test....pass...ride home...reload your tune.

WOW! The continent and center of the Earth 'Texas' has decided that the whole other rest of the US is a sh*thole! REALLY? Running from vehicle to air conditioned buildings is not my cup of grog. Or flat FLAT roads to ride on..EVER been here in the fall? I hate winter but smile the first time I see snow squalls off the Great Lakes or get to drive in a snowstorm. Yeah i know that sounds whacked but a state that is around 95 degrees/flat/few laws/ and every rider I come across packs?? No fu**ING thanks!
No worries-i'm single and besides like the other rider posted: You and your sister/mom/aunt/niece are safe!
By the way-How did this go from a 'loud exhaust' post to a 'Its hot here all year and I can be obnoxious and carry a gun'? Maybe NYS isn't as bad (or backward) as I thought.....
