Cigar deals seem like a silly thing to get hung up on in light of the travesties that occurred in Paris. At the same time, talking about cigars and other lighter topics allows us to live our lives and not allow terrorists to change us.  Join in this discussion and perhaps learn something along the way.  Welcome aboard!

Cannoli. Cannoli done right is a taste of heaven Cannoli done reasonably well is delightful. Cannoli done badly is still pretty damned good. Had a pretty good Cannoli tonight, with strong black coffee. The Pasta Puttanesca sucked (how do you screw up Pasta Puttanesca? You leave out the anchovies). But the Cannoli was pretty damned okay.

Is there anyone innocent?

That's an honest question, not sarcasm.

I mean, Tex and I are the right-wing gun nuts here. And I have liberal - whatever that means - friends who tease me for my "paranoia". But there are 150 some-odd people dead in Paris.

If I would have warned them earlier today that a terrorist or three could gun them down at a concert, would they have laughed and told me about the odds of that happening?

I dunno. Maybe I am paranoid. But I'm gonna keep carrying the gun. If it comes to the worst-case scenario, having a gun and being a trained shooter may not save me. But I won't die wishing I could have fought back.

I couldn't agree with you more, Raz.  I'm not a gun guy but I'm not one of those trying to take them away from you either.  And I'm sure I'll get emails from some of the left wing groups using the Paris attacks as an excuse to ban guns and protest against the NRA... I'm also pretty sure that these terrorists who caused all the attrosaties didn't acquire their AK-47s legally.  I'm tired of giving up my rights.

FHA Loan
-------------------------

A New Orleans lawyer sought an FHA loan for a client. He was told the loan would be granted if he could prove satisfactory title to a parcel of property being offered as collateral. The title to the property dated back to 1803, which took the lawyer three months to track down. After sending the information to the FHA, he received the following reply.

(Actual letter):

"Upon review of your letter adjoining your client's loan application, we note that the request is supported by an Abstract of Title. While we compliment the able manner in which you have prepared and presented the application, we must point out that you have only cleared title to the proposed collateral property back to 1803. Before final approval can be accorded, it will be necessary to clear the title back to its origin."

Annoyed, the lawyer responded as follows (actual letter):

"Your letter regarding title in Case No. 189156 has been received. I note that you wish to have title extended further than the 194 years covered by the present application. I was unaware that any educated person in this country, particularly those working in the property area, would not know that Louisiana was purchased, by the U.S. , from France in 1803, the year of origin identified in our application.

For the edification of uninformed FHA bureaucrats, the title to the land prior to U.S. ownership was obtained from France , which had acquired it by Right of Conquest from Spain

The land came into the possession of Spain by Right of Discovery made in the year 1492 by a sea captain named Christopher Columbus, who had been granted the privilege of seeking a new route to India by the Spanish monarch, Isabella. The good queen, Isabella, being a pious woman and almost as careful about titles as the FHA, took the precaution of securing the blessing of the Pope before she sold her jewels to finance Columbus' expedition. Now the Pope, as I'm sure you may know, is the emissary of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and God, it is commonly accepted, created this world. Therefore, I believe it is safe to presume that God also made that part of the world called Louisiana . God, therefore, would be the owner of origin and His origins date back, to before the beginning of time, the world as we know it AND the FHA. I hope you find God's original claim to be satisfactory. Now, may we have our damn loan?"

The loan was approved.

Somewhere in between in TX for a carry license and I think a pretty good system.  Take a 2 day class, show proficiency with a gun at the range, take a written test, get finger printed  all followed by a very thorough background check.

If I would have warned them earlier today that a terrorist or three could gun them down at a concert, would they have laughed and told me about the odds of that happening?

I dunno. Maybe I am paranoid. But I'm gonna keep carrying the gun. If it comes to the worst-case scenario, having a gun and being a trained shooter may not save me. But I won't die wishing I could have fought back.
I couldn't agree with you more, Raz.  I'm not a gun guy but I'm not one of those trying to take them away from you either.  And I'm sure I'll get emails from some of the left wing groups using the Paris attacks as an excuse to ban guns and protest against the NRA... I'm also pretty sure that these terrorists who caused all the attrosaties didn't acquire their AK-47s legally.  I'm tired of giving up my rights.
France is a Gun-Free-Country so how did that work out in January (when the cops did not even have guns) and 12 were killed by terrorists using smuggled guns or yesterday when +/- 150 were killed by terrorists with smuggled guns and hand grenades?  To quote anti-gun Hillary Clinton:  "what damn difference does it make"
too many Liberals complain about gun violence and advocate gun safety, UNTIL they are the victim. I myself will comply with the laws of the country just to the point where it demands I cannot defend myself. I found that it is very easy to get a permit in Florida compared to NY.
Somewhere in between in TX for a carry license and I think a pretty good system.  Take a 2 day class, show proficiency with a gun at the range, take a written test, get finger printed  all followed by a very thorough background check.
decent place in town here, "Fear No-Evil Guns & Ammo" has conceal/carry and safety classes, range, etc., walks you through the whole permit process.

51° here, high today 79°.
I miss the heat.
We have had like 50 mph winds and rain last 2 days. Ellicotteville saw snow yesterday but highs in the 60's next week. WEIRD.
been keeping track of the weather your way looking for more record breaking Buffalo blizzards.
Hope it holds out for a bit.  I have a trip to Erie in December to get in.

The Toast singles were $3, so I tossed a couple in.  It's supposed to taste like burnt coffee.  But of course we all know the first 1/2 will taste like sugar and potpourri.  Most of the singles are bidding between $3 (Acid, Nub, COA, Perdomo, Padilla, 601)  - $4.75 (Montecristo, Oliva Master Blend 3).  If the consolidated shipping is $6, then I'll be doing pretty good at getting some cigars I've been wanting to try, but couldn't afford to buy a 5 pack each as I had in the past.

There are more church shootings than school shootings.  But I pity the moron who tries that at my church.  In any given service there are at least six armed and trained guys.  Some are identifiable by the green security jackets, but most aren't. 

Lessee, there's ex-Marine corporal Jeff - we call him the Sergeant-at-Arms - handing out the bulletins (S&W M&P .40), Detective Stan at the sound board (Glock 23), Pat the light guy (FN .45), ex-Marine Mark (Kimber .45), Big John wearing the biker colors (Kimber .45), Big Ron of the Seattle Police (Glock 22), Mike the FFL (Sig Nightmare .45), Eric the church Elder (usually a Sig .380), Jay the men's ministry director (Springfield XD .45), and Squire Doug, former airline pilot who owns a vast collection of firearms including a complete set of WWII small arms.  The Squire prefers a S&W Airweight .38 Special.  Dan the drummer is an FFL also, but he's old school and carries a Colt SAA in .45 LC (no, I'm not joking).  Oh, can't forget my dad - the pastor.  He's a Sig guy.  And the associate pastor carries a 9mm.  I'm usually onstage with a guitar - and the Glock 22. Most of these guys are also cigar smokers.

My church isn't a gun-free zone.

I was thinking about you this morning, ordered a Front Line IWB for my big-azz 10mm Glock.  With what ISIS brought to Paris i might start packing that.
Indeed.  The warden is talking about getting her CC license now.  I told her how it was illegal for me to carry in church.  She said screw that, do it anyway.
There are more church shootings than school shootings.  But I pity the moron who tries that at my church.  In any given service there are at least six armed and trained guys.  Some are identifiable by the green security jackets, but most aren't. 

Lessee, there's ex-Marine corporal Jeff - we call him the Sergeant-at-Arms - handing out the bulletins (S&W M&P .40), Detective Stan at the sound board (Glock 23), Pat the light guy (FN .45), ex-Marine Mark (Kimber .45), Big John wearing the biker colors (Kimber .45), Big Ron of the Seattle Police (Glock 22), Mike the FFL (Sig Nightmare .45), Eric the church Elder (usually a Sig .380), Jay the men's ministry director (Springfield XD .45), and Squire Doug, former airline pilot who owns a vast collection of firearms including a complete set of WWII small arms.  The Squire prefers a S&W Airweight .38 Special.  Dan the drummer is an FFL also, but he's old school and carries a Colt SAA in .45 LC (no, I'm not joking).  Oh, can't forget my dad - the pastor.  He's a Sig guy.  And the associate pastor carries a 9mm.  I'm usually onstage with a guitar - and the Glock 22. Most of these guys are also cigar smokers.

My church isn't a gun-free zone.
Ha, Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition! 
Amen!!

If Pat the Light Guy is packing an FNX 45 his britches are stacked and packed because I have my G20 and my FNX 45 both right in front of me and the Glock looks and feels like a compact pistol next to that animal.  It is a heavy Bastige but shoots like a dream.

Ha, Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!  Not that it really matters, but what's the CC rule in WA when it comes to "places of worship"?
It's up to the places of worship.  If you have a CPL in WA, you can carry anywhere except: Anyplace that is restricted to 21+ and is selling alcohol (which is why you find most restaurants here put a velvet rope around the bar to define a no-carry area), anyplace where judicial proceedings are held (but they are required by law to provide a secure place to check weapons), the secured portions of airports, the secured portions of jails or prisons, and public schools unless you are just picking up a student and leaving.  Stadiums and convention centers operated by cities or municipalities can restrict un-licensed carry, but cannot restrict licensed carry.  Private properties (like businesses) can prohibit firearms, even if licensed, but enforcement is restricted to having authorities escort you off the premises and maybe pursuing a trespass complaint.

All things considered, for such a Commie state that requires any transfer through an FFL, we're pretty sane about the carry of firearms.  Lots and lots of gun owners here.
