    Spent today in gun stores in connecticut, and omg there is one here that puts everything outside of texas to shame. It’s unbelievable. It’s just evidence that the more you threaten gun culture the more profitable and dedicated gun owners become. I thought Wade’s Eastside was pretty impressive for it’s hollywood gun collection but omg, this place makes seattle look like a low rent district.

    Once you have a carry permit in CT, which is close to a shall issue state, it seems like everything is pretty easy. It’s just waaay harder than it was when I lived here 30 years ago. I mean I took the NRA training way back then and the whole bit. I’ve had my WA license and then my Utah license. But this whole CT thing just looks like a lot of bureaucratic nonsense, that does nothing at all except place a burden on the working class guy who wants to hunt, shoot, or defend life and property.

    I cant wait to outlaw frivolous and symbolic laws. 🙂

    (I love to answer questions. But please don’t stalk me for ‘chatting’. I’m generous with my time, but not foolish with it. I don’t chat. I answer questions. It’s my job. And I have more work to do than you can imagine people having work to do. Ok? Thanks. Now hopefully I don’t have to block you…)

    IT IS INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO KNOW IF YOU’RE ‘A FRIENDLY’.

    So many sock accounts, fake names, and empty profiles. And want to keep ‘unfriendlies’ out of my sphere.

    I have to research every single friend request and some of the sock accounts are indistinguishable from the troll and spam and spy accounts. Usually your friends, your banner, or your profile image show some ‘right wing or libertarian’ kinda thing so I can at least identify a friendly.

    So please (a) have a profile photo of anything (not you, anything) – don’t just leave it blank, (b) use a banner image that shows your political bias so i know you’re a friendly, (c) have a history of more than a few days …

    (d) OR, just send me a PM so I can approve your friend request.

    🙂

    ( To take it off the table of potential teasing: Yes, clean shaven and wearing my glasses I look like Paul Allen … at least how he did a few years ago. I’m just three inches shorter and and seven years younger. But no one mistakes me for him any longer (used to happen now and then because of the press photo he used). He’s gone ‘thin’ in his old age. And yes, my first ancestor in the USA in 1630 was married to Joan Allen. So I come by this appearance honestly. Same gene pool. So there… lol. Hopefully that will eliminate the novelty of teasing me when the next videos come out…. )

    Well, will Harry prune his genetic branch of the family tree? Looks like it. I think she’s a barn animal, but that’s apparently pretty common opinion for american males to hold.

    My work on philosophy has not hurt me in the investment community, although it WOULD hurt me with certain players. It just made me even more interesting. The central issue I face is my age, and the amount of time I’m taking to get the work done. Money talks. Make people money and all sins are irrelevant …

    I mean, in the 80’s I could raise money in as little as a weekend. In the 90’s it took me less than a month. In the 00’s it took better part of a year. Today I have no idea. I just know that 50K/m in revenue OR candidate for disruption of a major player’s market, OR relationships, are the minimum bar.

    – low cost of entry b/c of software low cost of entry that takes it’s multipliers from the internet infrastructure.

    – opportunity rich environment.

    – search for unicorns (1B+ wins)

    – financial speculators not entrepreneurial investors.

    It seems to be driven entirely by connections now.

    Or you need pretty good revenue prior to investment.
