I don't have much to contribute, but it's always great to hear a fellow carrier on Hacker News. Especially one who carries a 1911. Glad there's a couple of us here.

Took a half day from work so I could go and place my deposit early this morning. Waited about an hour in line once the store actually opened up. It's a refundable reservation so I didn't mind putting money down first, and then se

You cannot buy a handgun in a state you do not reside, and a gun must be legal in both the state where the transaction is occurring, and the home state of the buyer. (that's federal law) Although it's illegal to "knowingly&qu

I've done the same in NY. I have a really great deal going on with him -- I would email him before I would make any online purchase and ask if he could beat it. If so, I'd pick it up from him. If not, he'd tell me to order

Thanks for opening my eyes. I'm renouncing my religion tomorrow. You should write a book! You are very convincing. Let's not use HN as a place to destroy religion -- there's plenty of other venues for that.

Heroku has open-sourced the product they use to upload WAL files to S3. Can confirm (not with S3, but with Swift) that it works fantastically: https://github.com/wal-e/wal-e

Ya gotta realize that half of employees are by definition below median. You missed the possibility that the employee is too prideful, or lacks the intelligence to 'obviously figure it out.' Please don't generalize about a gr

The original article is saying "The skier can travel 120 miles in one hour because he is going 120mph". The parent is saying that the skier can't travel 120 miles in one hour, because even if you could find a mountain that l

Putting cm-t's words nicely, the Gentoo Handbook is fantastic! I first built a Gentoo install maybe around 2007, and had no problems up until the Grub install (however, I had done kernel compilations before). With Gentoo, the two hard

Yeah, no one ever uses names that are ungoogleable, until they are. What would "ruby" have shown up just a couple years ago? or "Apple?"

I second the idea to add your email to your profile. I have an email I'd like to send you.

I believe you are in correct on your last point. The renewed law only says "must be detectable." So the metal can be removable in this law. His amendment was to force a permanent piece of metal. That worries us because even if

Now that I was unaware of. Thanks for informing me! I had my hunting license early, so I really take it for granted.

People typically aren't aiming their guns at someone, either. The statistics he listed were also for accidental deaths, in both cases.

A "hunting license" gives you the ability to take an animal, not to own a firearm. And in most states (outside of the most infringing states -- my home state of NY is a great example), a Conceal Carry license is "how" you can carry a handgu

Yes. I certainly do not want to kill anyone, but my safety comes first. If my safety would not be any more in jeopardy (aka, same stopping power), I'd be fine with it. My only concern is ME living. I'm sure most pragmatics would feel the

This is awesome! I'm going to create some issues (and hopefully pull requests!) later with some feature ideas. I'm thinking seeing the question, and listing all questions so I know which -pX I want ;)
