Outdoor Recreation - November 2006

Through a great answer from Bound's hubby, I was able to decide on the AR-15 as a platform for long-range target shooting.

Now I face a problem, I live in California. I have been trying to search through the laws regarding this type of weapon. The government sites state that they are banned as assault rifles. Other sites say that small mods like fixed mags and modified grips will negate assault rifle status.

Anyone have first hand experience with AR laws in CA?

Also, I saw at the Fulton Armory site a 22LR rimfire upper for varmint hunting. Count I possibly purchase that since it says its rimfire status does not make it an assault rifle?

If I do purchase it, can I change it to a standard centerfire upper when I can afford it? All I really know is that one selling point of the AR line is modular design and interchangeability of parts.

Thanks in advance for any help on the matter. I'm eager to get started and have read that wait periods can be in excess of three weeks.

I have heard the Honda 250 generator is supposedly very quiet to operate, but need to be sure before we purchase one to use on camping trips. Thanks for any help!

Residential area in California, real wild turkeys.Family of about 8 full grown turkeys walk around the nieghborhood every day; for the last three months; don't know where they came from; we have deer too, so I guess they come from the same place, up the hill. I want to kill and eat them all, but not get arrested for hunting without a licence nor using a firearm in a residential area? Any ideas?

I want a air rifle. I was thinking 22. cal, or .177 cal. What are the laws, and regulations? I dont think shooting ranges allow them. Where could I use one? could I shoot it across the street?( I live near 6 acres of wood). Do i have to just go upnorth and use it? Thank you.

I just discovered Quadlines roller skates online. I've loved roller skating since I was a little girl and I'm really intrigued by the Quadlines. (For those who haven't heard of them, they are similiar to conventional quads, but the wheels are almost four times the diameter of conventional quad wheels, Quadlines have a wider stance, plus the actual wheel is narrower than a regular quad wheel.) I'm considering purchasing a pair, but they're not cheap ($150 to almost $600 a pair). Any Quadlines people out there? Thanks... (and Happy Thanksgiving!)

I'm looking for something that can be used around the beach (kayaking) as well as for short, muddy/wet hikes (3-4 miles). It needs to be able to dry quickly.

I'm looking for something cheap, not top of the line performance. $40 max.

I fish for fun and release everything I catch. Has anyone here used barbless hooks, and if so, what did you think of them? Did you lose more fish than usual, or none at all? Can anyone tell me where I can find them, aside from paying too much at a bait shop? Didn't notice any at Walmart when I was there, but didn't know about them yet at the time, so may just have missed them. Thanks.

I first place the weight at the end of the line, then a hook about 1 feet above the weight then the second another 1 feet. Which is the best arrangement for shore fishing in saltwater?
