PA but it's an antique. Just turning it over isn't an option. Besides, it's powder and shot so even if it worked I wouldn't be able to fire it.

In that case it's a display piece. Remove the firing mechanism, clean it up, and hang it on your wall. Any gun store can do that for you for a small fee.

I wish all the shoes would fall as quickly as Vinny Lecavalier's did. It was rumoured but very little discussed and now it's happening. Everyone should have some idea of who they want out.

Still can't believe that they actually went through with it... both from a hockey standpoint, a PR standpoint and a financial standpoint.

I'm kind of wondering now whether anybody on a back-diving deal is really safe...

ANTIQUES
“Antique firearm” means:
1.Any firearm manufactured in or before 1898. Any firearm with a matchlock, flintlock, or percussion cap type of ignition system; and
2.Any replica of any firearm manufactured in or before 1898 if such replica: •is not designed or redesigned for using rimfire or conventional centerfire fixed ammunition; or
•uses rimfire or conventional centerfire fixed ammunition which is no longer manufactured in the United States and which is not readily available in the ordinary channels of commercial trade.


Generally, antique firearms are exempt from Pennsylvania’s Uniform Firearms Act. However, antique firearms are not exempt from the provisions relating to carrying without a license or possession by prohibited persons.

Is it newer than that?

I hope they're not from a Flyers standpoint. It's just the break we may need.

You'll make me blush.
I don't play hockey like NFG. So on this board she has me beat. Plus there are some pretty awesome women in here (insert your favorite of Don'ttouchTochethe'smine, Bodiva, or Tangent).
I just happen to have a colorful history. But like everyone, I appreciate the love.

Tell me this is just a shot at tangent_man?

makes you wonder how many of these guys would get dumped if there were no cap...or even a luxury tax. would the flyers have been willing to move on from briere, even though he wasn't fitting in the lineup much if there was no cap? or would they keep him and try to keep the square peg/round hole going?

Depends on your opinion on these subjects:

1. Gun control
2. Minorities
3. America
4. How awesome Ed Snider is

Please write your responses in complete sentences. Thank you.

With no cap, Briere might have gotten $8-10M on a 4-5 year deal, instead of that 8-year monstrosity.

Hard to tell. I'm guessing it was my grandfathers. He was born around the turn of the last century. It might be "newer" than that. It's tiny. easily fits within the confines of my hand.
