I hope this isn't inappropriate but I am offering an older Bosch fixed
router, model 1617, without a base for anyone who is local and wants to pick it up. If you want it shipped, shipping charges will apply. The router works well, but only has one speed. Though, I plugged it into a separate speed control switch and it worked great. I have no idea how old the unit is. I bought a router table top from a local seller and he gave me the router with it, but I already have two routers. Therefore, if you're interested, it's yours. |

I made an offer, someone accepted the terms, therefore a deal is done. Others may try to cheat, but at least for me, my integrity remains intact. Besides, Karma is a bitch....lol. |

Good point and sounds valid for my little knowledge of law.
Canuck law differs from US somewhat in that respect. Province of Quebec law is another matter again. They disregard our federal laws, completely, and make their own . Loophole in our Constitution. Lawyers love it only being qualified in small geographic areas. Me thinks somebody is injecting a troll, here, but an interesting one. At least it isn't about gas prices....LOL ---------- "Bill" wrote in message ... I don't wish to mess with the deal.

No one answered my question (with regard to US Laws), so apparently we don't have any lawyers here--or at least none willing to opine. I think I learned in my business law class that the matter falls under the UCC ("Uniform Commercial Code").

If he ever gains consciousness. http://www.tampabay.com/news/publics...unfire/1208726 No one knows where the bullet came from, but authorities believe it was fired from miles away in a new year's celebration. "Here we have a 12-year-old kid fighting for his life because he happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time," said Hillsborough County sheriff's spokesman Larry McKinnon. Detectives spoke with Diego's family and neighbors Sunday morning and determined that no one in the immediate vicinity of the home had been firing a gun at the time, around 1 a.m. Sunday, according to officials. "The bullet was quite a large one," said family friend Dee Sims. "They said it could have come from 2 or 3 miles away." |

I don't condone firing up into the air for this very reason. But - neither you, nor I, nor Larry know that the shots he heard were being fired up in the air. Back in the day, we use to fire off lots of rounds along with fireworks. Seemed fun back then, though I don't find the same pleasure in it these days. We never fired up into the air though. Firing off lots of rounds does not imply shooting up into the air. -- -Mike- |

Firing off lots of rounds does not imply shooting up into the air. Unfortunately, it does. Ever watch the news when they show the people doing just that? In the middle east, it is quite common as a means of celebration. Goggle "shooting guns in the air" and you get 76 million hits, many are arrests for doing such. It happens, very often. |

Here comes another stupid US brainwashing right to bear arms argument!
Certainly establishes mental prowess early in the year. Thanx Bill ------------ "Bill" wrote in message ... I was looking for a story about a girl that recently got killed by a muzzle-loading round that fell from the sky and hit her in the head, but I found this story instead: http://www.kmph-kfre.com/story/15030...hing-fireworks --------------- Mike Marlow wrote: Much safer noise? Or just your overly proud estimation that what you do is so much more right than what others do? |

Backpeddle faster!
Your inconsiderate attitude is showing badly, moron! Maybe you learned something, today? -------- "Mike Marlow" wrote in message ... Matt wrote: Happened a few years ago in Phoenix, AZ, killed a teenager named Shannon (hit her in the head; she was outside, as I recall, talking on a cell phone). AZ has since passed a law making shooting firearms into the air a felony - law is named for the girl, and is known as Shannon's Law. It's just too bad that a law has to be written to prevent something that is just a stupid behavior. From the early days of gunpowder it has been known that what goes up must come down. -- -Mike- |
