Been watching the spat going on among some big name Trump supporters over the H1B visa program. For context H1B visas are for immigrants to come in to fill jobs in specialized job roles. Musk and Ramaswamy are strong supporters while others on the right, including Laura Loomer and Steve Bannon are critics.

Shot a modified (guud enuff) Dickens Drill with the ported 48 and did 10/10 in around 11 seconds.  This was the first I've shot the ported 48 further than around 25 yards and was pleasantly surprised.  Shot with the magwell and grip felt solid even at that distance.  Is that realistic for a SD scenario?  Who knows, but good to have some variety in training.  Not under "real" stress, but shooting with your buddies on a timed course of fire was challenging. 

Since you've already jumped thru the permit to acquire hoops, what's 1 more?  At least the CCW last 4 years now, vs. the 1 year when they were 1st issued.

I am waiting about 3.5 months. just sent them an email
I hear they just sending a regular letter to notify you to pick up the permit, not certified mail

1 strategy is if you max out the odds on the pass line cause say it's only 2x, then play the place bet as well.  I never see people doing this over the years. IDK if it's cause they don't know about it. As I rarely play the pass line, I have to tell the dealer "including" so he puts my money on the point as well.

drck1000, my opinion why so many people like to play at the Cal when they only offer double odds is because of the family type relationship the dealers, pit bosses, and employees have with the Hawaii people.

Many of the players are old, feeble, and need help playing, especially at the craps table.  I believe the dealers treat these seniors with respect and help them play.  They have the money (God do they have the money..... ) but they aren't mentally fast enough to keep up with the craps play.

This is where the dealers come in.  Because these people are visiting so often (some every other month) the dealers know their betting patterns, when they like to press, and how they like to spread their chips across the lay-out.  You can truly see the Aloha Spirit here at the Cal.  Not the Hawaii Supreme Court kind of Aloha Spirit.  The true Aloha Spirit.

Vacations Hawaii likes Cal (precovid).

The best long session, I was on a table for 5 hours and was even. Saw others come and go and lose everything.

My problem is that I'm with Mrs. CMO and we often have meal plans. I'm willing to play if i'm hungry, but i dont like having Mrs. CMO wait. Same reason why I no longer play poker. I don't have 7 hours to play in 1 session. 

My best roll, 40 mins at Venetian and hit ATS (mentioned above). We were supposed to get breakfast, but like usual, we play a little on the way out to the strip. Mrs. CMO was playing slots for about 30 mins and came by after cause she was done. I then crapped out. That entire roll, I never threw a 7, even on the come out.  We have a running gag that when she comes by to see how I'm doing, 7 out comes.

When I first shot the Shield Plus, my pinky would hang off the magwel area. Now it fullly covers it.  IDK why. Hand shrank, grip got longer (srs)?  High grip has nothing to do with it either as it's always been the same.

hand shrank because it doesn't have to manipulate larger objects...

cttsolutionsllc's wife (IG post) just showed a vid between her shooting a G43X without port and then another one with port. The recoil difference is HUGE.  She's like 5'1; 115lbs.

Although the gas goes up, I wonder if you were to fire from the hip how it would be. Like any injury for the area next to the slide?  Or to your face cause the gas is going up like 6 inches (fireball).

$15 is the new post covid norm for downtown. The last to have $5 consistently was Golden Nugget, but they're at $15 as of like 6 months ago.

Also, not many HI people compared to precovid.
