This week I collected my first unemployment check ever, so I figured I'd better stimulate the economy so I don't get another one.  Here's the result...



Now I got both!

That could be the best use of an unemployment check I've ever seen.  Well done.

I plan on doing the same thing with my FIRST unemployment check.

Without the Kboom factor.

Thanks very much, it's not like that, though.  We are having to take weeks off w/o pay every so often, hence the unemployment.  Thankfully still employed.  Glad you got up and running!!

I was out of work for six months, but I never collected unemployment... I guess I'm missing out.

ETA: Can I retroactively apply for it?

At the very least you should have bought American.

Next time.  I can't tell you how many times I've walked into the gun store to get a G19 and walked out with something else (last three that I remember off hand were Made in USA FWIW).  I was in and out in 10 minutes this time to avoid that very circumstance.

At the very least they need to fix the miserable trigger first.

LOVE the 19...after removal of the damned "target" trigger they slap in there for import points.

What did you replace it with?

I decided to take lunch at the range today.  100 rounds, 0 malfunctions.  Coming from a 1911 the trigger is different, but not bad at all.  All in all I'm a happy camper.  I'll report back in 900 more rounds...

I never collected.  I was even digging through the trash at the local supermarket and sleeping in my car for a day or so.

For what it's worth, my employer did all the filing.  I never said or did anything to make it happen; one day a debit card shows up in my mailbox w/ my name on it.  I've paid in for the last 15 years, playing by the rules, so I did the same when I cashed out that card at my ATM.  No regrets.
