And the list of places I don't have to bother going to just keeps getting longer... Oh well, guess that means more time for reloading and the range!

I guess we aren't in any real trouble until the ranges go "No firearms".
Then it's time.

What the hell is Longwood Gardens?

[Bang]

Horticultural display garden near Philadelphia created by Pierre duPont in 19th century.

The thing that pisses me off is DuPonts made a LOT of money making and selling GUN POWDER....freaking asshats.

E.I.DuPont used to have a catchy slogan imbedded in their audible ads..."Better things for better living, through chemistry".

Then "chemistry" started getting a bad wrap in general by the "nature people' and DuPont stopped using the phrase. Hey..they're French.
What can one expect?

Pierre S. du Pont was born January 15, 1870 in Wilmington, Delaware, a son of Lammot du Pont. He graduated with a degree in chemistry from MIT in 1890 and became assistant superintendent at Brandywine Mills.

Early business career
He and his cousin Francis Gurney du Pont developed the first American smokeless powder in 1892 at the Carney's Point plant in New Jersey.

Most of the 1890s he spent working with the management at a steel firm partly owned by DuPont (primarily by T. Coleman du Pont), the Johnson Street Rail Company in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Here he learned to deal with money from the company's president, Arthur Moxham. In 1899, unsatisfied with how conservative DuPont's management was, he quit and took over the Johnson Company. In 1901, while du Pont was supervising the liquidation of Johnson Company assets in Lorain, Ohio, he employed John J. Raskob as a private secretary, beginning a long and profitable business and personal relationship between the two.

Just because a name is french, does not mean the person is French. PS, DuPont still makes gun powders and is also into firearms to this day.

I might disagree with the property owner's beliefs, but I support his right to manage his property as he sees fit. The thing is, the LG is non profit, that receives funding from various sources. Mainly private contributions, I believe. But if any portion of their 50million annual budget comes from the state, is it then possible to use it as a leverage to force them to comply with state laws?
