Good observation, Micro. You might want to let the DHS know so they can investigate that connection.

Nope. For some reason most of them smell like cat urine to me.

Wow. New low in customer service.
It is strange that it would cost more to repair the reel than to total cost of the reel but I wouldn't expect much for $24. Did you call ahead to ask how much it might cost to repair/return?

Mossberg 500
IME, Mossbergs almost always come with more chokes than Remingtons but I'm not sure how many come with either of the models you are looking at. If I had to guess, I'd say the Mossberg will probably come with three and the Remington with one.

There are currently NO instances, except the new airport security policy, where gov't authorities have the authority to touch you wherever they want without, at the VERY LEAST, probable cause. It simply doesn't exist. This new policy is a drastic change in what the gov't is allowed to do to random law abiding citizens. Ah, but is the search consensual? Isn't the customer allowing the search of his person in order to board the property of another? The customer has the right to refuse such search and walk to his destination. At what point is the gov't forcing the search of an individual. Here's an example. You're broke down on the side of the road and desperately need a ride. A police officer stops to assist and offers you a ride. You accept the ride. The police officer tells you that he must search you and your belongings before getting into the patrol car for your ride. Question: Is that search forced? Can't you refuse the search? Does the officer HAVE to give you a ride? Isn't my scenario the same as the airports search of passengers? Another point that I was getting at when I was saying we don't have a right to fly on an airplane. The decision to fly is a CHOICE so these searches would be consensual as terms of being allowed to fly, would they not?

Warrantless searches have been categorized into the "unreasonable" part of "unreasonable search and seizures" within the 4th amendment yet automobile searches do not require warrants. In some cases ie: drunk driver check points, police are allowed to stop drivers without even probable cause, all in the name of safety. Really? What cracker jack school of law did you go to? You might want to read Delaware V. Prouse before you make false statements. No law school, just a semester of Criminal Procedures class. What about Carroll vs. United States, then? And how do you defend the legality of DUI check points? Carroll allows searches based on probable cause instead of having to get a warrant. DUI check points don't require either last time I checked. Both are exceptions to the 4th Amendment, are they not? You said you do not need a search warrant to search an automobile. The Carroll Doctrine allows the search of an automobile based on probable cause that the officer believes to contain a particular item. This, however, does not allow for an entire search of the car. You have to look at United States v. Ross. Ross defines the permissible scope of the search. In other words, if the police have probable cause to believe you are transporting illegal aliens, then they may search the vehicle where the aliens could be concealed, thus eliminating the glove box or a suitcase from being searched. If contraband was found in the glove box during the search for illegal aliens then the case would without a doubt be thrown out. The reason why the law is more relaxed with automobiles is because automobiles have a lesser expectation of privacy than a residence. A warrantless search of a motor vehicle is permissible in some cases, but not without probable cause. Additionally, there are times you cannot search a motor vehicle without a warrant, even if you have probable cause. As far as DUI checkoints go, The courts have set aside four factors that must be present in order to establish DUI checkpoints. Police cannot randomly pull you over and say they are stopping you to see if you're drunk. The police have to follow certain guidelines set forth by that states supreme court in order to conduct a DUI checkpoint. And yes, police need probable cause to search your car at a DUI checkpoint. That is the point I was trying to make. There are instances where a citizen has less of an expectation of privacy and there are exceptions to the 4th amendment's protection against warrant-less search and seizures. I am saying that boarding a plane seems to have become one of those instances and I think that's OK with me.

As far as I can tell, the Field and Stream safes are made by Stack-On. Look for a F&S fire resistant model and ask to see some paperwork on it. I believe the F&S safes will have Stack-On manuals. That being said, I don't know how good of a safe Stack-On makes when compared to other brands. Micro's got some good input. I can tell you from experience that the fireproof safes are a b*$ to move. Chances are you are going to pay a huge fee to have them delivered to your house. It's much cheaper to get one that is either small enough to move or not fireproof.

Check your local Dick's on Black Friday, or stop in before Black Friday and get the Black Friday deal price(but you will have to wait until after BF to get the safe).

I'm trying to figure out what "rights" are violated by these searches. We don't have a "right" to fly. It is a service provided by private companies that can be restricted or revoked at will...it's just regulated by the federal government. If you want to enjoy the privilege of flying, you gotta follow the rules, just like if you want to drive on public roads you have less privacy when it comes to police searches, etc...

I don't get it. Why is the FBI involved? Don't they have more important things to be investigating?

DICKS SPORTING GOODS!!
Did you use your Scorecard when you made the purchase? Chances are that they can look up your purchase with your Scorecard. BTW, the warranty that they sell you in store gives your coverage but you are supposed to handle it through the toll free number provided on the warranty brochure, not by taking it back to the store, however many managers will take care of you if you do take it back to the store.

That's fine, I'm just adding another good service they have available to find merchandise that isn't available in store.

That wasn't the question. I'm sorry, I'm just trying to save you from getting laughed at by the guy at the gun counter on your 18th birthday... As an FFL employee I was trying to set the record straight on your expectations concerning gun age restrictions.
