The least I can say for you is that you were at least polite and tried to be amusing if not pejoratively sarcastic.
The most I can say is you didn't use any expletives, didn't launch any personal direct attacks or assassinate character. Too there was an absence of malicious, sanctimonious hypocrisy.
But alas you, none the less, fell into the rather disappointing category of the small minority that are more interested in agitating and degrading the site than to offering anything objective, constructive or with a modicum of reality. I've been on these various hunting forums for 12-15 years now and this one surely is right up there in becoming the armpit thanks to the over abundance of totally worthless mumbo jumbo that doesn't even have a smidgen of objectivity related to the original posters main theme. .
I think that what you were/was trying to portray is/was my tendency to explore/examine in depth most matters. That's just my upbringing, education, experience. I have seen all too often far too many mistakes, errors, omissions due to haste, superficial slap dash replies, laziness and yes too stupidity.
I could say some more additional things that wouldn't be very pleasant but as I have amplified abundantly/repeatedly, I abide by the house rules, I do not engage in personal attacks, I am always polite and courteous and I try to help people.
For posters that don't like my posts - don't read. IGNORE!
The reason people don't simply ignore your postings is that you insist on making liberal-like comments. And then you bluster and try to make being wrong sound as if it isn't.
IOW, in the words of the well-regarded (in hindsight anyway) Ronald Reagan, “It isn't so much that liberals are ignorant. It's just that they know so many things that aren't so.”
Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.

I agree!
And, if all the relentless, negative, inappropriate things festering upon the Campfire were ingredients for a cake - You sir, would be the frosting atop !

What laws, either state or municipal, support the Ringwood police in their "fun"? Are you stating that they are enforcing some law? What is that law? ... I'll await your citation of the New Jersey law that requires serial numbers on rifles made before 1968.

... Bullshooter: I acknowledge your query's. Give me a little time. I will consult with the Ringwood police and get back to you. ...
William_E_Tibbe- It has been more than eight days since you promised me a reply. I think I have been pretty patient.
What New Jersey laws require serial numbers on rifles made before 1968?
A specific citation to the pertinent part of the New Jersey Statutes Annotated (probably somewhere in Section 2C.) will be acceptable. I searched these and found nothing, but your sources may be able to do better.

Sorry to say that in the intervening days I was subjected to some pretty disgusting insults and accusations impugning my credibility and, by the way, I think that you, thanks to your inquisitiveness and searching, went a long way furnishing "proof" when you posted my photo with my moose.
It's a tiny force, I think about three. When I shipped some of my guns to my son *( 4 so far ) he had to deal with them several times and from his conversation they pretty much make the rules. The chief was very difficult to contact and gave my son quite a hard time.
Your request it superfluous and hypothetical. I really don't have any further interest now in bugging the Ringwood police with such a question so to save myself harmless from more abuse I suggest that YOU ring them up and get it straight from the horses mouth. Thus it serves several purposes:
* You can rely on their credibility. * I won't be in the middle of it. * I won't have to waste my time.

This may be an oops !!! From your questioning I thought you were inviting second guesses.
I have extensively researched places to go and I'm presently into contemplation a spot for my Grandson on his first foreign adventure.
Namibia keeps coming up VERY high on the radar screen as an abundance of variety in plains game at REASONABLE prices.
I'll confess also that I am very partial to the Dutch due to my ancestry, however, from my info, E-mails and phone conversations there are several really GOOD outfitters in Namibia that offer home style accommodations, super food and plenty of plains game of extensive variety. Some prices I came up with are competitive with an American single animal hunt.
I don't want to rain on South Africa's parade but you may find now many "game farms" offering fenced animals and fewer free ranging. And spotted varieties widely scattered.
But this segment of the website isn't the best place: " Gun Writers" forum to post. Maybe better to post in the Africa sections.
Or alternately on the AR "Accurate Reloading" website.
