    That word, "right", does not belong in equation marks. It IS a fundamental right, and it has nothing to do with deer hunting. Nor is there any honest question about what the Founders intended. Our current mess of gun laws (more than 20,000 was the last figure I saw) would not have offended...

    The idea that cops are "trained professionals" is factually false. MOST cops do no more than the basics necessary to maintain qualification, and that qualification level is pathetic. Who says? Men like Massad Ayoob and John Farnam, and others of their caliber. (And if you don't know...

    What if a bad guy pulled out his “heater” and started blasting-away? Oh, right. That's happened a lot of times. The other.... not that I've ever heard of, and people have been carrying concealed in many states for many decades. In some states, for hundreds of years. And yes, every once...

    That was never the Founder's dream. They were wiser.

    Buy a chipper or a gallon of diesel and a mat5ch

    Yep. And it's really nice to be able to chip on your schedule and energy level and not feel like you have to push hard through the weekend to get the whole thing done before you have to return your rented chipper Monday morning. But again, only if it's an ongoing need. If it's a one-off...

    Anybody good at math out there?

    If you put a glass cover over it you'll get a lot more heat. But at 8.5 feet in diameter, that might be a bit expensive.... But putting some insulation behind it will make a noticeable difference, too, and would not be expensive. Use 1" foam with a foil surface and you'll gain a lot.
