Taking the train in June . . .

Muss, I only ever took one train ride in my life and it was from Pittsburgh to Ft. Jackson and the trip took 2 days. The most vivid memory was, trying to sleep was impossible for me as the rocking and clanging and wheels hitting the joints were making me crazy. Let us know if sleep was possible and how the overall train experience was. Have a great trip.
 
Well, I'm sure it's a nice place, and I'm sure the locals like it, but if he wants us rednecks to show up for a $19 cheeseburger, he needs to say he sells beer on the website. Otherwise, it's a total nonstarter for me. Even if I find out later that he does, like now, I'm not interested. I consider it a character flaw . . .

His profile says he's a bounty hunter.

I don't know if there is any difference between a "bounty hunter " and a regular citizen when it comes to firearms law. Don't know if they consider them "law enforcement " or not.

Immediately before that statement, it reads "Retired Essential Government Employee," which is much more pertinent to this discussion. That last part is for gun money and entertainment . . .

" Retired essential government employee " could mean almost anything, depending on who is writing it. On that statement I would never tell anyone "Oh, well you're good to go then ".

Family vacation. Amtrak from Carbondale, Illinois to Chicago in the morning, arrive at 1:30 or so, doing some sightseeing, leaving Chicago at 9:30 pm, Amtrak roomettes, arriving in New York next day at 6:30 pm. Ten days or so doing all the tourist stuff, hotel is in New Jersey. Trip back is Amtrak in reverse. Taking Glock 42 with two mags . . .

Discuss . . .

There are plenty of clues in Muss's postings here to his former profession. I had read them even before meeting him. Take Muss's word when he says he'll be legal.

Only question I've got for Muss is, do you still have that big black ride or did you give it back? :D:D:D

That photo gets some great reaction here in Kiwiland.
 
We don't have all the facts to discuss why he can do this but we can't. I'm not going to go read every one of his posts to try to figure out the missing facts. So the only thing to legitimately discuss is what these cities were like, are they as bad as everyone thinks they are?

Agreed. I don't see how we can discuss anything without the facts. But here is Amtrak's policy regarding firearms on its trains. Amtrak

This thread does have me wondering if the Glock 42 is a good 380. A co-worker has one. If he ever decides to sell it.....

Well, that's what you get when you tell an OCD NYer to "Discuss" NYC. I'm a just gittin' warmed up. ;)

He'd probably go into sticker shock over the wine list prices, then be embarrassed when they wouldn't serve him a Bud Light in the can:D

LPD256 - We had a nice train ride from London to Inverness except that almost none of the dining options were available except "2nd degree burn-inducing black pudding".

Conversely, the worst trip of my life was a sleeper back. Constant stopping and jerking, and late to boot so we barely made our plane.

I like the trains on the continent much better, especially over the Alps! But I've never again tried a sleeper

Mikerjf-This was a bucket list trip for my Wife and her sister to Scotland so I sprung for First Class tickets. Our attendant brought coffee and bloody Mary's to start followed by a breakfast off a menu. Followed by delicious coffee. Somewhere along the way we had lunch with dessert and later on started cocktails. The train was smooth and went 100 mph between stops. It left on time and arrived on time. We checked into a great little Place called the Piper's Tryst in Glasgow which is attached to the National Bagpipe Center. They greeted us with a dram of Glenlivet. Sounds like all we did was drink which is partially true but over several hours. We took several small trips by train to get out of Edinburgh which was overrun by festival attendees while we were there. Great trip. Hope Muss' experience is similar.

Of course it does, in the Times Square/Theatre District, at 585 7th Avenue.
