Where can I hunt with Suppressors (Silencers): Updated List:

by David M. Goldman

Thumbnail image for 50calsilencer.jpgWhile in some states, it is illegal to hunt with a Silencer, in the following states it is legal to hunt with a suppressor (often referred to as a "silencer").

In states where hunting with suppressors have been legalized, we have seen substantial increases in the sales of suppressors and the wait times for approval from the ATF has also increased. Many states that have legalized suppressors still have CLEOs who refuse to sign for individuals to purchase them. A NFA Trust or a more flexible Gun trust can not only avoid the CLEO signature requirement in most states but can also provide many benefits to firearms owners and their families. To learn about the benefits please fill out the contact us form at the top of this page and request information on what a gun trust is and how they may benefit you.

Remember these laws change frequently, so please verify this with your state prior to hunting with a suppressor.

Many state restricted the use of suppressors in regards to anti poaching regulations. Some other states like Florida and Montana allow the use of Silencers for Varmint but not hunting. If you know of other states where it is legal to hunt with a silencer please let us know.

You should check with your Gun Trust Lawyer prior to hunting in any state with a suppressor as there may be other requirement and permits necessary to hunt with a suppressor in a state.

Google Glass with Prescription

by Fletcher Martin

When I first heard about Google Glass, I thought it was a great technological advancement. However, being one of the millions who wear glasses and American to boot, I found myself instantly wanting more.

While the idea was neat, the thought of wearing Glass in addition to my glasses was rather off-putting. If only Glass could be integrated with my prescription, or at least offer a prescription-based version…

LG’s 5-inch Unbreakable Display

by Fletcher Martin

LG has announced that they will be putting on a 5-inch flexible plastic OLED screen on display at the upcoming Society for Information Display, commonly referred to as SID, Display Week 2013 in Vancouver.

They’re claiming that the screen is unbreakable, which would be amazing in today’s smartphone-enriched society, but give it a week and someone is bound to drop their phone in some odd manner that breaks the screen.

Police Have Better Things To Do Than Rescue Adult Men Wedged In McDonald’s High Chairs

by Mary Beth Quirk

Take a look at yourself. Are you older than five? You’re reading this post, so it’s likely that you are no longer part of the toddler set. As such, we’d like to take this opportunity to remind adults that they are too old, and really, too darn big, to be sitting in high chairs meant for toddlers at McDonald’s. One man in Ireland learned that in the way that turns out to be the most hilarious to the rest of us.

Over across the pond, high chairs at Mickey D’s appear to be made much the way they are here — kind of like tall stools with a seat made for tiny little tushies and a way to secure kids in the chairs so they don’t fall out.

That set-up proved too tight for one man who The Mirror says plunked his tush right down in a baby’s high chair anyway. He managed to get himself so wedged in there, someone called the cops to the Cork location in the wee hours of the morning.

Police managed to save the kitten from the tre– er, the man from the high chair, and he was sent on his way without a charge. But not before the inquiring minds of the Internet arrived on the scene and snapped a pic and sent it out for all to see on Twitter. Someone’s always watching, especially when you do dumb stuff.

To be clear, McDonald’s does not condone such behavior and would prefer you keep your adult-sized butts in your adult-sized chairs.

A McDonald’s spokesperson said: “McDonald’s is aware of the incident involving a customer who decided to sit in one of our children’s high-chairs in [redacted] Street – and as you can see, we recommend that children don’t use the high-chair without adult supervision!”

Oh, snap, McDonald’s. Oh snap.

Man Jailed For Rubbing Pepperoni On His Weiner At Grocery Store

by Laura Northrup
Wmy2k7

You can't make this shit up!!!!

Earlier this week, a northern New York man was caught doing a terrible, terrible thing to an innocent stick of pepperoni. He was arrested and put behind bars…not just for lewd behavior in public in a Hannaford store, but because they had to destroy the pepperoni he had defiled afterward.

A local TV station explained that store security spotted the man on a security camera when he “rubbed a packaged stick of pepperoni on his exposed penis.” Then he put the pepperoni back on the shelf.

Naturally, the store couldn’t sell the pepperoni after that, so he was charged with fourth-degree criminal mischief in addition to public lewdness. It’s too bad that “crimes against cured meats” isn’t a category unto itself.

Psychic Takes Woman’s Life Savings To Repair Her Aura, Prevent Bad Things From Happening

by Laura Northrup

We are not experts and any and all things paranormal, but perhaps auras are a thing, and perhaps it is possible for one person to repair another’s aura and prevent bad things from happening to them. However, it seems unlikely to us that it’s possible to do so by giving the “psychic” all of your savings and family heirlooms to watch over for you. And yet, someone tried this, and someone fell for it.

A 65-year-old Colorado woman who put her trust and her retirement fund in the hands of a psychic is now out to warn the public not to do the same. It all began with an upsell: she stopped by his shop one day and had a $10 reading done. The psychic saw bad things, and upsold her to an $825 reading in order to figure out the terrible things he saw “on the right side” of her aura. Then he told her that he needed to borrow almost $10,000 in cash that would give him the “power” to prevent bad things from happening.

After that first visit, the psychic gave his victim a call. “[S]omething terrible was about to happen to me which he was trying to ward off,” she explained to reporters. That terrible thing was that she was about to have a total of $73,000 taken from her by a scammy psychic.

He was just holding on to it in order to prevent bad things from happening, he assured her. He drew his psychic power from her cash. He assured her that the money was safe: he had stored it in a cave.

Eventually, she saw through this act and after handing over $73,000 over a period of months, went to police. It was only after she took her story to local news media that she learned that he had a criminal history.

He was charged with theft, crimes against an at-risk adult and intimidating a witness. The case is still pending.

Ticketmaster Settles $23M Lawsuit Over Rewards Program That Didn’t Give Out Any Rewards

by Mary Beth Quirk

Ticketmaster is now set to pay for its five-year Entertainment Rewards biff, after customers complained that they signed up for the program without realizing it’d cost $9 a month, and never actually got any rewards for doing so. A U.S. District Court judge has approved up to $23 million in payouts as part of settlement over a lawsuit that said not only did customers come up empty-handed, they didn’t even know there were fees associated with enrolling in the program.

About 1.2 million people who signed up for the program between September 2004 and June 2009 are eligible to file a claim and could receive up to $30, reports the Associated Press. The average rewards member lost out on about $72, however, as it generally took about 8 months for people to catch on and cancel the membership they didn’t even know they had.

Those customers claimed that after buying a ticket online, they’d sign up for the rewards program, some on purpose and others claiming they had no idea they’d done so. Only thing is, that program cost $9 a month, and was simply charged to the same credit cards customers used to buy their tickets.

The plaintiffs claimed there weren’t any benefits to doing so, either. Which makes the program more like a Give Ticketmaster Money Every Month For No Good Reason program. We don’t know anyone who wants to give Ticketmaster more money than it already gobbles up in fees.

The attorney for the plaintiffs points out that this kind of aggressive marketing was all the rage on the Internet back then, before consumers were aware of such schemes. About 93% of customers who enrolled in the program never redeemed online coupons.

“People have gotten more savvy about these things,” he said. “This was early on. That’s why so many people were duped.”

Ticketmaster and its defendants (including its old parent IAC/InteraActiveCorp. and Entertainment Publications Inc.) aren’t admitting any wrongdoing as part of the settlement, and claimed that the program disclosed all the terms and conditions, including that monthly fee.

“We are looking forward to putting this case — that stems from several years ago, prior to Ticketmaster’s merger with Live Nation — behind us so we can resume our focus on delivering the best possible ticket buying experience for fans,” it said.

McDonald’s Looking To Slim Down Its Bloated Menu

by Chris Morran

(ronnyg)

(ronnyg)

The Angus burger has mooed its last moo, and Chicken Selects clucked off months ago, but it looks like McDonald’s isn’t done ditching menu items, as the company seeks to streamline its business by paring down the available offerings.

According to Bloomberg, since 2007 the full McDonald’s has swollen by 70% to 145 items, up from 85 items, putting a burden on franchisees and workers, and perhaps giving customers too many things to choose from.

“It’s gotten to the point where the operation has kind of broken down and that’s all a symptom of the complication of the menu,” a former fast-food consultant and former McDonald’s franchisee explains to Bloomberg. “They can’t make the food fast enough.”

Among items that Bloomberg says could go the way of the Angus burgers, which are being replaced by gussied-up Quarter Pounders, are Caesar salads, the McSkillet Burrito, the Southern Style Biscuit and steak bagels.

However, the company has also recently added some items, like the egg-white McMuffin, and three varieties of its chicken wraps. However, these items can be made quickly and share materials with other existing offerings, meaning less strain on the franchisees and employees, and (hopefully) faster wait times for customers.

Your Teenage Neighbor Is Totally Going To Slap Washington State’s Official Pot Label On His Car

by Mary Beth Quirk
Subtlety? Washington doesn't need no stinkin' subtlety.

Subtlety? Washington doesn’t need no stinkin’ subtlety.

Now that marijuana is legal in Washington state, officials there are working hard to make sure this whole thing goes off without a hitch. That means branding, of course, hence the new green (natch!) label that authorities say will have to adorn every package of legal pot. And of course, it’ll surely make the rounds of music festival-bound vehicles, guitar cases and your teenage neighbor’s car bumper.

Along with that nifty new logo, officials have released their first attempt at rules for the new marijuana industry in Washington, almost eight months after voters legalized pot consumption for adults.

There are about 46 restrictions set out in the preliminary regulations, reports the Associated Press, including a ban on any marijuana extracts like hash. However, if you infuse that hash into another product, that would apparently be okay.

Here are a few of the other relevant bits:

• Authorities are aiming for a “seed to store” outline for the government’s involvement in the whole process.

• There’s likely going to be a cap on the number of retail outlets allowed to sell pot in each county, but when it comes to licensed pot growers or processors, the sky’s the limit. All pot-related businesses will have to include security systems, 24-hour video surveillance and insurance.

• State-licensed stores will have to include the official green label that discloses that marijuana “may be habit forming” and that ”this product is unlawful outside of Washington state.”

These rules aren’t just the product of a quick brain-storming session in a room filled with velvety black light posters and lava lamps — the state’s Liquor Control Board has apparently spent a lot of time visiting grow houses and studying the science involved in getting high.

To that end, Sharon Foster, chairwoman of the board, is now known by friends as”the Queen of Weed.”

“They are based upon hundreds of hours of internal research and deliberation, consultation with multiple industry experts and input from the over 3,000 individuals who attended our forums statewide,” she says of the new rules.

This first draft of the rules are basically just a starting point. The public will provide feedback to guide a fresh set of rules, which the Liquor Control Board will debut next month. Then there will be another round of public comment, before sales finally, possibly begin in early 2014. That will depend on whether the Justice Department chooses to sue to block licensing in Washington and Colorado from taking effect.

Washington Governor Jay Inslee is of the mind that everything is going down as it should, so far.

“I’m impressed with the depth and thoughtfulness of their approach and look forward to moving forward,” he said, adding that he hopes any concerns U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has will be allayed by the rules.

“I don’t think you can design a system with much more integrity, as far as tracking the product from the producer to the consumer,” he said. “This plan has a robust system of controls and checks in a variety of ways.”

Makers And Stars Of Porn Being Turned Away By Some Banks

by Chris Morran
Wmy2k7

I say we start a bank ONLY for porn stars!

Chanel Preston at work.

Chanel Preston at work.

With so many people choosing to watch porn for free online rather than pay for it, the adult industry claims to be nowhere near as lucrative as it was at the height of the VHS and DVD era. Making matters worse, some in the industry say their banks don’t want to be associated with this particular form of entertainment.

Porn star Chanel Preston — about whom we will admit to knowing absolutely nothing (because our parents are probably reading) — tells CNBC that she recently opened a business account at City National Bank in Los Angeles, the so-called “bank to the stars.” But apparently it’s not the bank to the stars of Office Perverts 5 (again, mom, we had to look that up; we swear).

Ms. Preston says that when she attempted to make a deposit into her new account, she learned it had been closed because of “compliance issues.”

She says that the manager who had helped her set up the account explained that the bank was worried about the live cam shows on her website and had decided to close the business account.

The actress says she’s previously been turned down for loans because of her profession, which may be controversial, but is certainly legal.

“[The loan officer] asked me ‘are you affiliated with the adult entertainment industry?’” she recalls. “When I said yes, she said ‘We will not give you a loan.’”

Meanwhile, a former softcore porn producer in California is suing JPMorgan Chase after the bank refused to underwrite a loan for “moral reasons.”

The plaintiff — who actually sold his company several years ago — says it was the bank that had originally approached him about refinancing the loan, but after the refi got bogged down in months of delays, he eventually learned the truth.

In the suit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, the plaintiff states that Chase VP “finally informed plaintiff during a telephone conversation that plaintiff’s loan application was refused due to ‘moral reasons,’ because of JPMorgan’s disapproval of plaintiff’s former source of income and occupation as an owner of a television production company that produced television programs that dealt with the subject of human sexuality.”

He says the bank told him that Chase would be taking a “reputational risk” by going through with the loan.

“JPMorgan purports to be so ashamed of nudity and human sexuality that it cannot process a refinance of a home loan of plaintiff, secured by plaintiff’s house, because plaintiff’s source of income six years ago included production of television programs that contained nudity and human sexuality,” reads the complaint.

Unfortunately for folks in the adult industry, the banks may be fully within their rights to pick and choose who they deal with.

“The decision to open or maintain an account is up to the individual institution,” explains a rep for the FDIC. “The rules are not prescriptive, which means that the bank must make its own assessment to determine the risks associated with an account and whether that account should be terminated or not opened in the first place.”

It’s not just porn stars that have problem with opening bank accounts. Some banks have taken heat in recent years for deciding not to do business with gun sellers and manufacturers, while we recently wrote about licensed marijuana sellers in Colorado and Washington who have to pay their taxes and fees in cash because banks won’t allow them to open accounts.

It’s a little unclear to us what risk a bank might take in allowing someone in the adult industry to open an account or take out a loan — assuming he or she can provide proof of creditworthiness — especially at a time when many of us would probably rather be associated with skin flicks than the collapse of the American economy.

Where’s The Best Place To Get Drugs For Your Pet? The Human Pharmacy

by Laura Northrup

Generally, when you go to the doctor for a checkup, you don’t fill your prescriptions right there in the office at the same time that you hand over your co-pay. That generally is what pet owners do at the vet, though. As it turns out, the cheapest place to get your pets’ drugs may not be mail-order pharmacies or your vet’s office, but the chain or independent pharmacy where you get drugs for the human members of your family.

They usually stock both common pest control medications, like flea and heartworm prevention drugs, and also the drugs to treat any medical conditions that your pet may have. Walgreens told our sibling publication Consumer Reports that with a valid vet’s prescription, they can even turn pills that your pet might spit out under the refrigerator into liquids infused with meat flavors that he or she will actually consume. Just like they do for little kids, but with beef and salmon flavoring.

Sometimes it’s easier just to pick up the meds at your vet’s, especially in an emergency situation or the first time you get new drug.

Just talking about shopping around may save you a trip: vets’ offices may price match other pharmacies when you ask for a written prescription or if you specifically ask for a price match.
