Will they allow you to purchase a Kimber .45?

John H.

-----------------------------------

Nope. On the "banned" list. Only 1911 types permitted are Ruger,
Remington and S&W.


Now *that* makes no sense whatsoever. I wonder what difference in the
Kimber vs the Remington 1911
types cause the addition of the Kimber to the banned list.

John H.

---------------------------------------------

It's a complex issue in this state. Approval is required by two
different state agencies, one being a state safety testing lab and
the other being the state Attorney General's office. To be approved
every model by every manufacturer has to be approved by both.
Capacity, gun design (safety features, etc.) must all meet certain
criteria, including drop tests and other destructive testing. In
order to get approval the manufacturer must submit a number of guns of
each model (I think it's five each) to the state for destructive
testing. Then, when that's all over, the AG's office gets involved
and their determination is far more subjective. As a result, many
manufacturers have basically told Massachusetts to shove it and don't
bother even trying to get their products approved.

Non approved firearms built before a certain year (I think it is 1998)
are grandfathered however the gun must have been originally sold and
remained in the state.


If I were the guy at Kimber, I'd tell MA to shove it also.

We've only one time had an electrical issue at a campground. We blew
the 30 amp circuit breaker at
the electric post. All was well with the air, coffeepot, water heater,
fireplace (which my wife
leaves on for looks way too much), lights, refrigerator, etc, and then
my wife plugged in her hair
dryer - oh, and I think I had something in the microwave. The trailer
circuit breaker handled the
load, but we were plugged into 30 amps outside. That one didn't.

Don't know if the Autoformer would have helped then or not. How does
it boost the voltage?

John H.

-------------------------------------------------

No, the Autoformer wouldn't help in that situation. You simply
overloaded the circuit breaker and it tripped, just like it's supposed
to. You are probably going to ask why the main 30 amp breaker in your
trailer didn't trip also. It's because they are basically in series
and the one with the most sensitive trip setting trips first. In your
case it was the outside breaker. Once it tripped, no power is on your
trailer breaker, so it didn't trip.

That is not the purpose of an Autoformer. Here's a simple example
of it's purpose. I am going to ignore pertinent AC electrical load
laws regarding voltage leads current, etc.

Assume your AC unit compressor kicks on but your supply voltage
(commercial power) has drooped to something less than the typical
118 - 120 vac.
It still takes the same amount of power (watts) for the compressor to
turn on without it straining. Power is voltage times current. If
the voltage drops, current draw must go up to produce the same power.
When you factor in the other "ignored" AC load issues, the result is
the compressor motor drawing excessive current which can burn up the
windings. The Autoformer prevents this by boosting the supplied
voltage.

An Autoformer is simply a type of buck/boost type transformer with a
logic circuit in it that determines the supplied voltage. If it drops
below a certain value (117 vac) it electrically connects the primary
of the transformer to windings that boost the output voltage by 10
percent. When supplied voltage exceeds 118 vac, it returns to the
normal windings automatically.



Thanks for the explanation. The trailer circuit breaker is 50 amps, which is one of the reasons I
was perplexed when everything blew.

Glad to see your comment about the Honda EU2000. That's next on the Christmas list - or maybe much
sooner.

I was going through some storage boxes and came across a Hughes 30 amp
"Autoformer" that I used for about 3 months when we had the motorhome
in Florida. *For those not familiar with these, *it automatically
boosts the voltage supplied to your camper, trailer or other RV by 10%
whenever commercial power drops below 117 volts. *It protects the
electrical system and appliances like microwaves and air conditioning
units from damage due to brown outs and voltage drops commonly found
at commercial campsites. * When the commercial power rises above 118
volts, the unit automatically detects it and removes the 10 percent
voltage boost. *It also protects against voltage spikes and detects
open grounds.

I held onto it because I thought it might be useful someday for a boat
slip, but I really don't need it anymore and decided to stick it on
eBay. * This is the single stage version *(10 percent boost) that
currently sells new for about $389. *There is a newer version (3
stage) that has multiple boost levels and sells for just under $500.
Frankly, I don't know why you'd need multiple boosts because the
single stage does the job just fine.

Anyway, *I put it on eBay with an opening bid of $175 plus $50 for
shipping. * If any of you rec.boats types want it, *I'll sell it to
you for $100 plus the $50 for shipping (unless you want to pick it

Florida, huh.....Did you hang out with Krause? Its all coming
together now. The reason you keep replying to Krauses posts....you've
hung out with him as his " buddie "

I wouldn't buy a inch long pc of thread from you, cocksucker.....sorry
USA....that you have this douchebag idiot within your boundaries.

I'd love to have it if it was 50A. The price is right.

-----------------------------------

Yeah, I thought about you but figured your behemoth was 50 amp.

Everybody is sellin' something here. I'm thinking of putting my custom
CZ75 SP01 Shadow 9 mm semi auto pistol up for sale. The current model
new is $1350+. I'm trying to decide whether I really want to sell it,
and for how much. It is the most accurate and smoothest operating semi
auto I've ever handled.

NO ONE CARES, ****TARD.

Not much choice unless you pack up and move out. I'd do it in a
flash but Mrs.E. has other ideas for now.
It's not a bad state if you like ultra liberal nanny state politics,
long, cold winters and three month summers.
My oldest son got sick and tired of it and moved out a year ago.

If I lived in bat**** crazy Virginia, the state's politics would annoy
me, but about the only interaction I've had lately with Maryland lately
is the renewal of my driver's license and filing of state income tax
forms, and this is supposedly a pretty liberal state. Oh, last year we
got a car inspected for pollution equipment.

Never had the slightest problem or inconvenience from the state of
Maryland obtaining any firearm I wanted.
