QuoteThere is conceal and carry here but every business and building has the no gun sign in Chicagoland so it becomes a crime if caught on premises with a concealed firearm.

In Florida (and yes, every state has their own gun laws so check before travelling) carrying concealed in a store that posts a sign is not illegal. Store owners can ask you to leave and/or not come back, but if you're carrying concealed they will never know unless you are forced to use your weapon in which case they may actually thank you. The State does list places that you aren't allowed to carry such as a court house, school, a place of nuisance and it's the only state that prohibits carrying a weapon in an airport terminal.

Another resource is a four part series starting on October 18, 2019 from Mike Adams. Good info.

Has it seemed strange to you, as it has to me, that when you go into a Home Depot type store...and notice that all of the padlocks are locked up behind a padlocked cage? It's been that way out here in SoCal for many years.

I once asked a store clerk if he thought it ironic that they have to lock-up the locks from being stolen by people who want locks to lock-up their own stuff that might get stolen by other thieves.   He didn't get the irony, and just looked at me like I had three heads.

Insightful and humorous observation. I am awfully tempted to buy a gun for added safety. Been looking at Walther pps m2 9mm. https://www.gunbuyer.com/walther-pps-m2-black-9mm-3-2-2805961-wal2805961-gb.html


I think I am asking for trouble. Don't own any guns. Used to own pellet rifles in Canada but never a firearm.

Since you opened this can of worms Richard, I'll give you my two cents worth. You first have to ask yourself the question - Why? Since I'll assume the answer is for personal protection, the next question to ask yourself - Am I prepared to use lethal force if necessary? If not, choose a non-lethal self defense option. If your answer is yes, then determine when and where you will arm yourself. Can you get a concealed weapons permit in your state? Or can you carry without a permit in your vehicle? Or will it be used exclusively at home? If you carry there are a ton of great carry handguns out there to choose from. If possible, go to a local range that lets you rent them or try them before you buy. Then, as Chris and others have said, practice with it. A lot.

If you just want home defense I would opt for a shotgun. Many makes and models will fit the bill. Do you have any Rural King stores near you? Ours has about the best prices of any gun stores around. RKGuns.com has that same gun for $299.97 with no transfer fee if you pick up at RK. Good luck!

Put the car in reverse and repeat to check the passenger side.

I don't understand how this will check for a bad mount on the passenger side.  The engine only rotates in one direction regardless of whether the transmission is in forward, neutral, or reverse.  Am I missing something?

Transmission output shaft in reverse applies torque in the opposite direction. With brakes locked it will lift the passenger side if the mount is broken.

Sounds like OP's problem is clutch related though.

FL SAAC, you need to proof read before clicking the post button

You don't get to 6800+ posts wasting your time proofreading! 

Easy to check with a friend (or if you can see your motor from the driver's seat with the hood up). Put car in drive (auto trans) and slowly press the gas pedal as you keep your foot on the brake to keep the car from moving. If the driver's side motor mount is shot you'll see the engine lift up. Put the car in reverse and repeat to check the passenger side. With a good emergency brake you can do this with a stick also. If your E brake won't hold the car, then it's a bit trickier. Either way, make sure that there's nothing in front or behind you when you do this.

This is hilarious!

Who is Rick Kopec?


This picture from John Barnes hangs in my office and I chuckle every time I look at it. Who indeed! Get better soon Rick! I hope to meet you in person some day. ~Kevin

Lots of stuff from the collection was originally procured by John Barnes including these two gems; Carroll's drawers and Table Scraps. 

John told me both of these stories when I bought his GT350. I had a hard time believing him, but there's the proof. Crazy!

That explains a lot.

Florida S.A.A.C. diverse and inclusive.

^^ plus a few Schitz and Falstaffs

Schitz 

You mean Schlitz

Incredible car! I'm interested in the license tag with the SAAC logo. Is that a Colorado collector plate issued by the state or did you put a sticker on it?

Just...WOW! I never dropped acid. Mostly because I was afraid something like this would happen.

Can't wait! I'm so excited!

Thanks for the advice Greg. I'm working on my 68 GT project and because I'm in Florida I can almost watch the flash rust appear before my eyes after sanding/blasting. I just ordered a jug of the Picklex 20 and I'm anxious to see how well it works on what I'm doing.
