Only 18 Minutes by Helicopter

#1 Post by Spock » Tue Mar 22, 2016 11:47 am

This blurb cracked me up.

A small article in one of my outdoor magazines detailed that a (Obviously) very high-class firearm and outdoor gear shop was moving to larger facilties in New jersey. This is the type of place that sells firearms ranging well into 5 figures and possibly even 6 figures.

"They are an hour west of Manhattan by car and only 18 minutes by helicopter. WTF?

Is that a common description of travel times in the Greater NYC area?

Just for people who will drop over $100,000 for an old gun.

Teach a child to be polite and courteous in the home and, when he grows up, he'll never be able to drive in New Jersey.
