  1. @alexwhittemore My permanent & primary residence will still be in Texas. It would be illegal for me to get a CT license per the REAL ID Act.
  2. @alexwhittemore Shotguns are still king for home defense. No penetration through walls.
  3. @alexwhittemore Guns aren't tools of entertainment for me. They're for defense. And CCW are rarely suitable for home defense.
  4. @alexwhittemore And the county league only shoots .22. I may as well have an air soft.
  5. @alexwhittemore Again, I'm aware of CT's idiotic laws and if I can't CC in my city, then there's really no point in owning in CT for me.
  6. @alexwhittemore Also, I don't see how any of those reasons are illegal and "stupid" is subjective.
  7. @alexwhittemore I'm well aware of the CT gun laws but it doesn't matter since CC is outlawed in New London anyways.
  8. @alexwhittemore it's a matter of principle, ethnicity, political jurisdiction, and the simple fact that I won't relinquish my Texas license.
  9. @alexwhittemore Can't. I'm not getting a Connecticut license.
  10. @alexwhittemore More because I need transportation in Connecticut.
  11. @alexwhittemore Yeah that's what I was thinking. Problem is that it's damn hard to find a AWD vehicle in the Houston area. =/ #branchout
  12. @phoneyman @clearlight ha- there's an option.
  13. @clearlight @phoneyman yeah- that's what I was thinking. Guess that Porsche will have to wait another couple years... =p
  14. "White Sand Dunes, Plate VII" flic.kr/p/c52Z5b
  15. @ClaireAshley31 oh... oh my.
  16. Dear people who drive in snowy/icy locations- would you recommend 4WD/AWD (over snow tires + RWD) to someone who's never driven in such?
  17. @troyholden light the negative through the emulsion side and photograph the negative through the plastic side. Invert using curves in post.
  18. @troyholden Though, admittedly, I'm still trying to perfect the dSLR method.
