Bummer. but, better than nothing! I did security here at the plant my first year it was....BORING! Only part I like was going out to the range, we have our own here on site. Otherwise the boredom just about drove me nuts.

They aren't illegal - yet.

It's already against the law to use your horn for anything other than a warning device. The thing that will get them outlawed eventually is idiots driving around and intentionally scaring people with them.

I probably won't be making the g-to-g as I now have some medical issues I need to take care of and not sure if i'll be driving then. so I need to figure out how to meet up with the person that has the chapter stickers so I can get one for my son.
