Wake up dude. Smart men will save when there healthy to pay for the unexpected. Even if you don't the docter will let you make payments. Mabey for you. That is not always the case. It was not in my case. My Ex. worked 20 hours a week as an Undergrad with a double in Math/Physics. She worked at the school doing research as an undergrad. I think that was a rather productive use of Her time, so sometines it can be. Of course not everyone is that lucky, but the point is she managed to work 20 hours a week and still graduate at the top of her class. She never complained about work and she managed to recieve a full RA/TA at MSU (Tuition, Health Ins., Salary) to do her Graduate work in Nuclear Astrophysics. Quit you bitchen and get a job or borrow the money for your medical bills and pay it back later when you making you "living wage". We all have to make sacrifices, some of us are just able to accept them. That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side.

This goes back to you not working. Get a fucking cash job for $10 in your spare time so you can pay for a $150-200 office visit. What if your CV joint goes out of your car and you can't drive to school(for someone who can't afford to live on campus). Should we pay that $300 bill too because you are not working? You might have to chose -School or Car. Boy that seems unfair in this rich nation of ours does it not! True-if you refuse to work.

This makes no sense to me. Are you saying that a Docter in Flordia will not see you because you do not have health insurance? I don't buy that. Is that legal? If a problem is small and easily treated, it should not be that much if you just have to make an office visit. I don't get you.

vs a side-by-side: I like how over-unders look. The O/U has a narrow/single sighting plane compared to the wide plane of the side by side. The side by side is also said to obstruct the view of the target due to the horizontal barrels, mainly with clays due to their shallow/brief rise. This is not as much of an issue on game birds. ( I have never shot a side by side on clays) Many of them also have double triggers either as an option or standard. You will see very few side by sides for clays, but they are great for the field. I said earlier I was looking for an O/U for Grouse, when I should have said I was looking for a Double Gun. That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue!

If you only shoot trap and never intend to shoot doubles the extra barrel is not very important. It's great for doubles, or you could take it to a sporting clays event Other considerations are reliability and ease of maintenance. I have heard of people breaking a firing pin and swithing barrels to continue with the same gun also. What are you using now? That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue!

For upland game hunting they are a great gun. I want to get one in a 20 gauge for grouse and woodcock and it is still enough gun for pheasant. By having two barrels, you can select two different chokes. There is a selector for which barrel you want to fire first. You can set it to fire the more open choke first, and if you need a follow up shot, then you fire again with the tighter choked barrel.(as the bird will be farther away on the second shot) If you ever hunt Grouse or Woodcock you will realize the benifit of a quick follow up shot. Some dog hunting tests require a break action gun to be used for safety, so no one has to worry about someones gun being loading when not it use. You just keep the gun broke until it is your turn. The same goes for trap,skeet, sporting clays. If you drop the gun in the field, you can service it very easily(use a stick to push dirt out of the barrel). If you jammed the barrel full of dirt with a semi or pump it is more of a hassle to clean it out. Just a few. That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue!

Not familiar with this gun at all but I in the market for an over/under. I almost bought a Ruger Red Label 12 Ga. used(95%) for $750 about 6 weeks ago. If this Baikal is of decent quality over/under it would be a bargain. I am thinking of getting one in a 20 gauge though and I have not found that much available localy.

Several through the papers and media. That does not mean they are all true. I would bet a good portion of them are actually suicides. If you said " treat it like it was loaded" and then check I would agree. I never assume any of my weapons are loaded. Nothing worse than missing a target because you assumed you had another round in the chamber. It only take a second to check. btw-Most pumps don't lock with the action open.

Unless your certain it's not. If not slide the action open and look! You can leave the action open on a pump. Fuck assuming. Check. That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side.

The 870 in its various forms have most likely brought down more feathered game than any, if not all other shotguns combined. A great choice for your first firearm! You can find parts anywhere for this gun. Different Barrels are abundent if you ever want to buy a shorter one or a slug barrel for Deer. While lacking the luster/beauty of the Wingmaster, it flat out works and shares most of the same internal parts. Did you get the wood or synthetic model? 12 Ga.? Do you plan on hunting with it? Good luck! That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side.

Quite wrong Tom. There are plenty of 16 and 17 year olds that race in NASCAR series. They are racing inches from other drivers at high speeds where a mistake on their part can affect much more than their own lives.

While I fell very sorry for the folk at Enron, I am not sure that it is the Goverments responsibilty to compensate them because they did not have a diversified portfolio. That is investing 101. If your company pays a retirement plan/profitcharing in company stock you would be foolish to depend 100% in this as retirement income. Never ever, have all you eggs in one basket!

Bullshit, you have already said that you choose not to work and that you are able, but you can not find a job that has the income you desire. Fuck semantics, you yourself have already admited the option is available if there was more income attached to it. You CHOOSE not to work.

Explain to me why you do not have access to Health care? Is it not because you are unwilling to pay for it? You have said you would work if you could find a job that fits your schedule that pays your "living wage". Instead you refuse to work at all based on the fact that you can't make your "living wage". You clearly have the time. Yet refuse to work and then claim you do not have access to healthcare. No, you choose not to . That's stupid.

No and I am donating to the victims. That's quite different than someone not taking a job and bitching they can't afford Healthcare. I have busted my self up pretty bad while opting not to pay for insurance. I never bitched about it, but I learned a couple of lessons. 1. It would have been much cheaper to pay for an insurance policy. 2 It was unwise to participate in a high risk sport without insurance. Still I never bitched. I chose not to pay for insurance and spend that money to risk my health instead. This guy chooses not to work. That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue!

We have sure went along ways from your claim that "healthcare" is unavailable to you. Or is there something else I am missing, other than you holding yourself to too high of standards for employment yet crying that the system is flawed.

-
I agree. This guy went from claiming he had "no access to healthcare", to acnowledging that he can't find a job that meets his "living wage"? requirements. What a joke. Hell if he lived in my territory, I would provide him with health insurance just for the his time that he spends on this forum. By claiming that he has "no access to health care" , which really meant he is being too selective with job options, he loses credibility for future debates on this forum. Why do so many people want somthing for nothing? Can we not have some acountability for ourselves. That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue!

Sorry I misread his post. I thought he said a large dog was a large responibility, And then when on to talk about a poodle which is much larger than a pitbull. The thing is, he earlier claimed that a pit was no more dangerous than any other breed. Actually the Poodle is about the same weight as a pit, yet much larger due to less muscle mass. A healthy male is around 70 lbs. That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side.

Why is the pit more dangerous than the Poodle? That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side.

The cocker is one of the most misbred dogs in the world, and as such many people have misconceptions on the true breed. I knew I was opening up a can of worms when I used the many time misbred cocker as an example as few these day seem to have seen one from a good pedigree. They didn't become one of the most popular breeds by being as you describe, but your description is a by-product of being such a popular breed for so many years. Enough about cockers though.

Well we will have to agree to disagree then. I have been around Cockers at least 10 times to the amount of Pit bulls. That is not to say I have not been around plenty of Pit bulls. I have never seen someone suffer an injury from a Cocker yet have seen several form Pit Bulls. Mabey it is a difference in our culture, enviroment, whatever. You responded to my reply to Ron where he claimed a Pit bull was no more dangerous than any other dog. I called bullshit. This was never meant to be a Cocker vs pit bull debate. I just used it as an example because I currently own one and they are well known for being great with kids. Now I never said I preffered a Cocker over anything, although at this time in my life/lifestyle, a cocker or any other well tempered Gun dog is a more sensible choice for me and my Pregnant Wife. I may own a pit or rott someday. More likely the rottweiler though Have a happy new year That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side.

You're a piece of work Ron. Way to duck the question. So the only reason your against gun control is because of the way the 2nd ammendment is written. Your full of shit. If you did not like guns would you still fight for them That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side.

I was not talking about Your dogs. That not the point at all. If you can not admit that a pit bull is more dangerous than some other breeds I don't know what else to say. A well bred cocker spanial is well known for it's temperment with kids and many buy them for that reason alone. (Pits are usually great with kids inside the family though) Of course, due to the overwelming popularity of the breed, there were some breeding issues years ago. So any dog can have problems. You buy a Cocker from a pet store you can likely have problems. The same could be said for most breeds though. And as the # 1 most registered dog for many years(before the Lab), bad breeding is apparent in cockers more than some others. That said a WELL bred Cocker is a much safer dog around children than a WELL bred Pit bull. Not to mention a great grouse/pheasant hunter Just for the record I am not against owning pits, or rotties. I have been around many of both breeds and some are wonderful dogs. I would like to have a rot some day. They just don't hunt birds that well though.
