Right you are. I installed a new dishwasher in my kitchen over the weekend. Cut custom drain lines, airtraps, a GFI switch and solid core wire for power, stainless lines for hot water. Runs like a champ, doesn't leak a drop, and is a damn sight more quiet than the 20 year old chunk of junk sitting on the curb awaiting collection.
$250 to have a licensed plumber install it and another $35 for proper paper work to ensure it meets building codes and the proper permits filed. All of that ignored.
I guess that makes me a criminal.
On top of that, I don't go anywhere without my Taurus 92. No permit beyond the Second Amendment and no extra training on top of 25 years of shooting experience with 6 years of that in the Marines. I'm better qualified to carry than any cop I've ever met. Although I haven't met every cop out there.
Twice a criminal.
Oh... I own a couple books on the "banned" list.
Darn. I guess that there would be enough to put me away for about 20 years.
Live free or Die.
Pretty soon you'll be tearing the tags off mattresses ... then its chaos.
