No I don't work at a bank...Oh you mean a National Holiday like the 4th of July. No. I'm just an IT guy doing nothing waiting for something to break down.

Checking the odds on American Footall futures. Minnesota Vikings are at 25 -1 on paddypower.com and Vegas has them at 17-1. Might be a good bet there.

Gambling is not legal in every state. I think NYC has OTB betting but not bookmakers. You'd have to find them at the local pub, etc. The same is true with all states except New Jersey and Las Vegas. Most of the betting of not related to cards/slots, etc. is done off-shore or through Vegas.

Any of the big casinos in Vegas will post odds. But you need an account and a local to place the bets otherwise you're betting off-shore.

You can't really buy a gun over the counter there is a waiting period (7 days). But you can buy a shotgun/rifle over the counter.

I'll give you LT...but he's not enough. It's a long season and they'll be playing a tougher schedule this year. Not that pansy-ass line-up from last year.

They've got the mafia to thank for that.
I'm pretty sure that even gambling in a friendly (lol) poker game is an arrestable offence in most states.

Well, I don't agree that a person should be able to buy/carry a hand gun. A rifle or shotgun/rifle is pretty hard to conceal.

But in general no I don't think its a good idea. There are far to many guns in this country. The gun lobby is very strong here so you won't see anything changing about our gun purchasing habits.

How hard is it to buy a gun in Ireland?

Banks get robbed with big sticks instead of guns, so yeah it's pretty hard to get you hands on a gun.

there was a gang of 23 lads arrested last week for robbing a fcuk load of banks with sawn off shotguns and pistols--they've been at it for about 3 yrs.

in Limerick/Dublin, there's someone shot every week--not to mention the North

i'd say it's very easy to get guns, it's just that it's legal in US

Sure you hear about guns in the papers, but personally I've never seen a gun in person and wouldn't have the slightest idea how to get one. You need a gun licence to get one legally. It's harldy a gun culture, sure the coppers don't even carry them. You read the papers too much.

Well, it seems you can't agree on whether its easy to obtain a gun in Ireland.

But you're certain that it is easy in the US. By the way I can't remember the last time someone robbed a bank with a gun other than a handgun.

Do you use the word geek or dork?
