CCWing a metal frame gun is a poor choice. But I get that it prob was only invented for competitiion shooting divisions.  Still lame.

Our Canadian neighbors really love to go to Vegas.  This even if their Canadian dollar costs more to convert to U.S.

I used to frequent this Vegas site called Vegas Message Board.  It's a site where you can talk about anything Vegas, from gambling to dining, to shows, etc.

Lots of Canadian members there.  They love to talk to other people who love to go to Vegas.

I don't visit the site anymore, but wonder if current events are affecting them.

FB groups are the new thing and there's enough saying that they won't be coming due to the tariffs Trump is doing to them.  They fail to understand that they were the ones who had higher tariffs on us and that their government is issuing a travel advisory, which are reserved for stuff like storms, viruses, terrorism, etc...not beefs between 2 leaders.  They're being used as pawns and don't see it.

The overall feeling toward the Canadians who feel this way from Americans in the group are "bye, don't let the door hit you".

There are various FB groups for Vegas that are around. Some,but not limited to:

Love Las Vegas
Vegas 702
Sin City Locals
MGM Rewards Las Vegas
Venetian Palazzo Fan Group
Explore Vegas
Everything Fremont
Las Vegas Things to Do
Las Vegas 101
Vegas Solo
Vegas over 40

etc....

I hope not, since I already destroyed the 20 I had and converted my AR15 to a single shot in anticipation of the bill passing and not wanting to be a felon.

Your rifle is grandfathered in.

The House proposed to allow inheritance of the grandfathered firearms, but would be happy with the law either way.

Tarnass called inheritance a "big change". The audacity! Somehow adding semiautos and magazine bans into this bill was a minor revision yet inheritance is a big change!

Tarnass said he appreciated us become we've grown accustomed to the way things have always been but that this is the right way forward.

Everybody voted as expected.

Mags not grandfathered in.

I recently re-watched The Accountant.   The movie delves into the degree of functionality someone on the autism spectrum may exhibit.  Some will require professional help to do daily routine tasks, while others may just need routines which can help manage symptoms.

I haven't seen it yet, but Accountant 2 seems like his brother has ADD.

I have a saying, if the fake news is saying it's bad, it's probably OK.

March Vegas numbers for incoming flights are down 300K from March 2024. All airlines have less people compared to 2024, but 1 airline took the biggest hit.  Spirit Airlines is down 200K from last March.  So if we factored that in, the overall incoming flights aren't down a whole lot.  It probably isn't the Canada boycott.

Spirit AIr has been know to be cheap and typically for cheap people.  Vegas is no longer cheap like how it was precovid.  Yes, there are still free things to do, but even then, the food is still more expensive, unless you eat a $3.49 hamburger at McDonalds for every meal and for your entire trip. $9.99 buffets are gone and $4.99 steaks too.

So I don't think it's the international (Canada) travelers who aren't coming, it's the poorer US domestics who aren't coming.

This benefits the middle income as they can get more comps than before.  I know we're getting more comps.

Zelinksy about 2 days ago stated at a PC that he also wants Crimea back too.  Guess he doesn't like how Barry handed it over.

This is what happens when an actor with little leadership experience is elected.  Instead of focusing at the immediate threat of the current war and deaths, he wants to add more to the deal.  More actions that he doesn't want the war to end.

Meantime, Russia launched a bunch of missiles targeting Kyiv civilian areas.

Trump responded that both are foolish. But there's no evidence that Putin ordered the strike. So between the 2 leaders, Zelinsky is the much more foolish one.

Recap:
In 2019 a guy was shot in the back at the capitol about 9pm while drinking.
Ordered to pour the drink and he refused and an argument began
Sheriff called for back up, but didn't wait because he stated "I thought I could take him". See below
Sheriff is 6'2; 205lbs; guy who got shot is 5'3 and 117lbs and had surgery on his leg for Polio years prior.
No video evidence, despite cameras at the Capitol.
"Lost" evidence as No body cam by the 8 officers who responded and no video of the interview by HPD at the capitol.
Evidence suggest the sheriff was pushing the guy onto his stomach when the gun went off.

Sheriff moved to CA and was involved in 2 more shootings.

State to settle for $750,000.

Opinion

Sounds like he didn't know how to deal with someone who's intoxicated.  Why his gun was drawn is a good question and it seems like poor weapon handling (finger on the trigger) if the events are correct since he was pushing the guy onto his stomach while gun drawn or trying to tackle someone with 1 hand holding his gun.  If he is drawn, he should have created distance.
So much video evidence missing is a more important concern. I remember we had this discussion about body cams and how it's easy for stuff to go missing.  Here shows not 1 camera footage, but 8 different ones. 

He should have waited for back up because you never know the strength or training someone else has.  And having more back up can help to deescalate the situation.  Or even what diseases the person has.  He thinking he could take the guy cause he's bigger than him is the wrong train of though.

There is another senator who's there now and said she won't come back empty handed to the US and will stay there until he's released.  Guess what, shes back in the US. I wonder if she caught the last flight on tax payers dime? And hotel stay prob cut off too.

Booker (spartacus) cancelled his trip to el salvador. Guess he found out he has to pay out of pocket as tax dollars cant be used.

Guess the ms13 gang member is no longer worth a dime of bookers own money
