Good news....

[ham385]

Any update or retort, or are you dropping the issue? FWIW, The Lebron decision seems to be a pretty powerful argument, but IANAL

[Spishack357]

Just read this situation for the first time...blood boiling....Hopefully, if they lay off the 700 LEO's they are talking about, they get rid of the douchebags that are uninformed and have had complaints against them...

I'm sure they'll lay off the only good ones though and we will be left with a concentrated dose of douchebaggery and corruption...

Don't mean to thread hijack here, but Geno's and Jim's are both crap (as is Pat's). The best cheesesteaks are from John's Roast Pork off of Columbus Blvd.

Go there and tell me I'm wrong.

Again, sorry about the topic change, just couldn't let that one go.

Yes it's pretty much dropped - Because I've been working in State College for the past year I haven't had the need to ride either SEPTA or AMTRAK trains so this hasn't been a priority.

Well said. These Pat's vs. Geno's arguments are a giant conspiracy put on by the proprieters of those places. Who the hell thinks giant squares of steak sitting for a loooong time by a huge pile of onions doing the same thing make a good steak? Add to that the rude annoyed attitude of the staff, excused as "local color", and I seriously cannot fathom how they get any business. I think reasonable people can disagree on who is the best, but can any reasonable person seriously think either Pat's or Geno's are in contention?

I've had quite a few people from out of town ask me where to go and I tell them any pizza/steak shop you run across you'll get a better steak than the two places mentioned above. Look for a Greek guy running an Italian named place wearing an undershirt.

I tried to keep this private by saying it in my comments via + rep, but it won't let me rep you right now.

The best steak sandwiches are made right here in my kitchen. They're made from the hind quarter of a whitetail sliced paper thin and fried up with onions and jalapeño served up on an Italian roll from Wegmans and toped with Prego. I skip squirtin' snot on them.

NRA-Backed Wicker Amendment Adopted By Senate

Friday, September 18, 2009

During consideration of H.R. 3288 (FY 2010 Transportation--Housing and Urban Development appropriations bill), Senator Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) offered NRA-backed Amendment 2366 to reform policies regarding the transportation of firearms on Amtrak trains. Currently, passengers who choose to travel by passenger rail in the United States cannot transport a firearm in checked baggage as they can on airlines.

Known as the Wicker Amendment, this measure was adopted by the Senate on Wednesday, September 16, by a vote of 68-30, and would allow law-abiding Amtrak passengers the ability to securely transport firearms in their checked baggage while traveling by Amtrak train.

Wicker offered a similar amendment to a budget resolution on April 2. That NRA-supported amendment was adopted by the Senate by a 63-35 vote. Unfortunately, the amendment did not survive the conference committee and was not included in the final budget resolution.


“Americans should not have their Second Amendment rights restricted for any reason, particularly if they choose to travel on America's federally subsidized rail line,” said Wicker.

Wicker’s appropriations amendment would cut more than $1.5 billion in taxpayer funding to Amtrak if the railroad does not change its policy to allow passengers to securely transport firearms in checked baggage. The policy change would also broaden gun owners’ choices in choosing how to travel, and benefit Amtrak by encouraging more business from shooters and hunters.

“Sportsmen who would like to use an Amtrak train for hunting trips cannot do so because they are not allowed to bring a firearm in checked luggage, something that is done every day at airports across our country,” Wicker said during floor debate.
