Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

I know alot of guns are made in Belgium, think FN Herstal in the French speaking part of the country is a big global player, they get all kinds of tax benefits and people do protest against it from time to time....but jobs you know.
But doesnt it cost alot of money to have that many guns, not talking just the price for bullets and the weapon itself but also the license to have one comes into mind?

People here dont own guns generally, its quite the paperhastle I think. I know one person who has a gun and thats purely for going hunting (although I really dont know where aside of ducks and bunnies lol, since we have no forests unless you feel like driving 2 hours)

Pew pew pew guns....

In the US, we don't need a license to own a gun, we just can't be under 18 (21 for handguns) and we can't be felons. There's a bunch of issues with the system, both good and bad.

We do need a permit to carry a gun and it must be .45 Colt, .45 GAP, .45 ACP, or smaller. And in most states has to be concealed. There are fairly strict rules on this.

A lot of gun nuts pick a few calibers or gauges and stick to them across several guns. I just slowly stock ammo. For my .45 Colt I have various different types; defense ammo, target ammo, hunting ammo, and currently a box of soft lead hollow points I plan to try out. Mainly for pistols I do two chamberings: .45 Colt and .357 Magnum. Many buy .357 Magnum because they can use .357 for hunting then buy .38 Special for fun shooting and .38 Special +P (+ Pressure) for defense. So it can be much cheaper.

A .357 Magnum can fire .38 Special, .38 Long Colt, and .38 Short Colt though the latter two are very rare and more expensive than the former two.

Actually the age restriction is mainly for buying, I had a .22 at 11, a shotgun at 12, and a pistol at 18. I'm not sure how legal that was but they were kinda the hand-me-downs.

I'd have to count but I'd say somewhere between 12 and 15 maybe.

It's morning state side, I'd like some Belgian waffles.

I'm a fairly adventurous eater. Usually if I say I hate something, I've tried it. The exception is cottage cheese because I'm not eating what looks like spoiled milk.

Oh but I'm not anti gun, I dont care, I have my thoughts on the subject but everyone has a thought after all and everyone should be entitled to it and over all I like it when people respect my ideas and I try to do the same for others.
I'm a vegetarian and I dont own a gun, but I do sell meat and I realise guns can be for recreational use too. But I truly was wondering how many guns you guys have :D

Now to food, when I tell Americans what kind of restaurant we run, they have a difficult time imagining it i've noticed. People spend an average time of 3 hours here, they drink wine, aperitives, coffee, they talk alot, a very social thing and people spend alot of money on it.
Now junkfood, is big here too, we have Mcdonals and Burger King, Domino's pizza but just in the cities. We have alot of small junk food shops where you can get burgers and fries that arent attached to a chain. I guess you could compare our eating culture alot to the French.

We have alot of old buildings and most people want to drive German cars :D

Karmann Ghia tho.

I was watching a streamer run Pokémon Gold last night, one moment he was naming storage boxes a bunch of gibberish, the next the credits were rolling.

Something about glitching game to where using the casino Coin Case triggers the credits.

Apparently, a lot of things are possible with the coin case.

Outside of a few horrible places like Chicago you don't need one here. The fact that they put up with that astonishes me.

I personally have one, no license is required here and I wouldn't call myself a pacifist.

I knew about platters and kettles and using buckets and cauldrons on people's heads to steal stuff, but I wasn't aware there was a ring at the bottom of the well.

Haunted places are eerie and, usually, I would say it's just your mind playing tricks on you but I've been to a place that I felt like I wasn't alone when I was alone and I wasn't aware it was allegedly haunted, for good reason; it was a daycare/after school center. Kids up to like sixth or seventh grade would go there but the upper floor was a regular day care while the lower floor had classrooms for grade 3-7. One room was odd, it had a stage in it, my sister worked there so I got to know things other kids didn't.

Turns out the place used to be a bar, walls were added to make classrooms, sister's friend's daughter had a sleepover for her birthday there and while I went to the birthday party, I didn't sleep over even though boys were with her brother.

On the way home my sister asks why I didn't stay with the other boys. "I don't like it there, it feels weird. The room the boys have to stay in is uncomfortable and and the upstairs bathroom scares me to death for some reason." she got quiet for a sec and said "If I tell you something, do you promise not to tell the other kids?" "I guess." "The building used to be a bar, there were two murders there that I know of, one guy was killed downstairs another guy was killed in the bar's bathroom." (meaning the one upstairs)

She didn't know the story of how or why the guy was killed downstairs but it was implied the guy in the bathroom was sleeping with a guy's wife and the betrayed husband shot him.

It was weird.

EDIT: The owner's son later told me about a guy being shot with a shotgun on the stairs connecting the upper and lower floors but 1. He never said the guy died, just that he was shot and 2. this could've been the guy who died down stairs.

Damn what did you all buy? We always buy in wholesale (I think is the English word...?)because of the restaurant, people without a VAT number cant go shop there. And I'm always amazed when we're on vacation, and we go to a supermarket, about the huge profit margins they make.

For someone who's never felt it, it doesn't really feel like someone is behind you, or someone just walked past, for me it didn't, it just feels like the building itself is alive and it's watching you. The feeling gets stronger when you go into a room alone or if you get just out of sight of other people. You know when you catch someone staring out of the corner of your eye and you try to ignore it and it feels awkward? Kinda like that.

All the empty space just feels like it's filled with...something.

Oddly enough, no one else seemed to notice or care. The oldest son and oldest daughter of the owner (the girl and her brother from the sleepover) apparently knew about the murders but never noticed anything and never mentioned it.

That said, I'm generally of the opinion that most people claiming to be psychics are people who just want to be special, I just notice ***.

Should warn your mom and aunt if they shave your back hair that you will loose your gift! (I'm kidding :)
