Technically, ammunition is an excellent commodity to keep on hand. As apposed to precious metals and paper money, ammunition will NEVER be worth zero.

Is that because you are afraid one of your Sigs will go off?

Freeholders' pro-gun resolution reflects their understanding of history | Letter Letter to the editor Published 5:30 a.m. ET March 18, 2020 | Updated 10:22 a.m. ET March 18, 2020 Even as crime in the city goes down, the West Side of Asbury Park struggles with the heartbreak of gun violence. Asbury Park Press In passing a resolution declaring Monmouth County a "Second Amendment Lawful Gun Owner County.” what the freeholders object to are socialists trying undermine our freedoms and our way of life in America. Every “common-sense” gun law passed only affects legal gun owners. These laws do nothing to stop violence and criminals from committing crimes with guns. These socialists are blaming the law-abiding gun owners just to get votes and get elected. Maybe the freeholders know their history and have seen what socialism is capable of doing. Those who don’t know history are bound to repeat it. Gun rights: Monmouth, Ocean freeholders back Second Amendment resolutions Hitler’s political party forced Jews to register their firearms. They then confiscated them, leaving them defenseless Maybe that’s what the freeholders object to. Jim MacKenzie Millstone Jim Mackenzie, I hope you are on this forum!

“For those of you who want to continue to shoot and kill people of this city, we’re not going to tolerate it,” Young implored. “We’re going to come after you and we’re going to get you.” What's he been waiting for?

The time to stock up on guns and ammo is past.

This is 2% of what they are making it out to be.

Baltimore Mayor Begs Residents To Stop Shooting Each Other So Hospital Beds Can Be Used For Coronavirus Patients March 18, 2020 at 11:23 am BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Baltimore Mayor Jack Young urged residents to put down their guns and heed orders to stay home after multiple people were shot Tuesday night amidst the coronavirus pandemic. Young said hospital beds are needed to treat positive COVID-19 patients and not for senseless violence. Seven people were shot Tuesday night in the Madison Park neighborhood, as Baltimore reported its fifth positive coronavirus case Wednesday. “I want to reiterate how completely unacceptable the level of violence is that we have seen recently,” Young said. “We will not stand for mass shootings and an increase in crime.” “For those of you who want to continue to shoot and kill people of this city, we’re not going to tolerate it,” Young implored. “We’re going to come after you and we’re going to get you.” He urged people to put down their guns because “we cannot clog up our hospitals and their beds with people that are being shot senselessly because we’re going to need those beds for people infected with the coronavirus. And it could be your mother, your grandmother or one of your relatives. So take that into consideration.” Commissioner Michael Harrison said the city has seen an uptick in violent crimes since Friday, including a mass shooting Tuesday night — where seven people were shot. Five people were transported to area hospitals via medics and two took private cars to the hospitals for treatment. All seven are in serious but stable condition. Harrison said they are looking for a Silver Honda that was seen in the area. A city officer who was on patrol in that microzone did engage with a person who’s believed to be a suspect in the shooting as the man was fleeing the scene. The officer was not armed with the level of “deadly firepower” that the suspect had. The officer did fire his weapon, but Harrison said police don’t know if the officer struck the suspect. The officer sustained some minor injuries in the incident and was treated. The police department is increasing staffing in the areas where crime has increased. “This incident remains open and under investigation,” Harrison said. Police ask anyone with information in the case to call Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7-Lockup or call the city homicide unit at 410-316-2100.

I think thats what Ned was hoping for

So I have been informed of friend of friends family members have COVID-19 - listening to them talk about it you think the persons having it, have been given a death sentence. So far both of them have been tested - confirmed and sent home to recover. One 35ish with a sever cough and chest pain (asthmatic and smoker) - the other runny nose and sore through in the 40's My friend Anthony swears he has it - low grade fever - aches pains - headache and lethargy - no cough - however he is 6 days in and status quo. Still a very surreal time and so glad I have prepped to some degree over the years - UPDATED: The 35yr old was told if his condition worsens to come back - so I have just been told after inquiring more - My prayer list is getting quite long, all your sorry asses and now these two. Time to take a break from work and go for a 3 mile walk around the neighborhood......

“This is about saving lives," The catch-all phrase that justifies anything.

Everyone has to do what makes them comfortable. I'm not at the point yet where I feel I need to carry at home. That may change, it may not. I do revisit that idea often. I would just stress/ask everyone to be smart, diligent and SAFE. The current state of affairs make the basic rules of firearm safety MORE important, not less. The last thing we need are more statistics for the antis.

…. it's our fault as NJ residents, we let it get this far.....omo.

We never really had any here in the Glorious Peoples Republik of New Jerseystan, DID WE ???

Just another benefit for gopher face.

Most my favorite guns I dont use for Home defense... think of it like owning a hammer... does it matter how much you "like" it? Or how well it can do the job? It takes far more training and skill to get the same performance from a lever action over a semiautomatic like ar15. Things to consider are ergonomics, ease of use, rate of failure, minimum level of useful training.. and of course proficiency... If you can shoot one well, quickly and in close quarters then it can work. A short model 1887 is something I will one day have in my "ring of defense", but even then a remington tac13 is probably more reliable

Not on purpose. The fruit bats are attracted by all the pineapple.

Y'all need to wise up to Zeke. When he says he will make food, it's not an offer, it's a threat. A tactic to manipulate others into making "it" (whatever it is) so he doesn't have to. When Zeke cooks, it's your punishment for not cooking in his stead.

Maybe it's these people who are buying these firearms, since they just lost their jobs, and will need to rely on another way to get their groceries???? ...." New Jersey’s online unemployment application system crashed Monday due to a huge spike in applications as non-essential businesses were forced to close in an attempt to slow the spread of the coronavirus, Gov. Phil Murphy said Tuesday. “We saw a record number of unemployment applications yesterday,” Murphy said at an afternoon news conference in in which officials announced the number of statewide cases has climbed to 267. "The state system crashed.” State Labor and Workforce Development Commissioner Rob Asaro-Angelo said 15,000 people applied Monday. Unemployment applications in the state have increased “12 fold” this week, Asaro-Angelo said. https://www.nj.com/coronavirus/2020/03/record-number-of-unemployment-applications-crashed-njs-website-murphy-says.html Then Murphy say this: ...."The governor, meanwhile, implored businesses to continue paying workers to make sure they are still eligible for potential federal relief measures that have been proposed. “Not paying employees now might prevent them from taking advantage of these," Murphy said. So, this asshat closes businesses but expects the business owners to continue to cut paychecks??? What an ass!!

So that's why crockpot ribs taste like shit....

I was telling my wife last night there's stories of people angry/upset/shocked that they can't just walk into a shop and leave with a firearm. Didn't know how accurate they were, but pretty much hoped they were. She chuckled.

Im really curious how many FFL's had to turn away people because they don't have FPID or permits... ya know the oblivious ones...

gun sales and ammo sales are on the up rise, how come none of the gun groups are jumping all over this in the media? gun sales are going threw the roof right now , we should be all over this in the news .

I'm jealous... I'm just surrounded by Rednecks...

True, but it never hurts to have that (almost) wallet-sized proof that you're a 'good guy' with you when you're legally transporting them. Could save you a ride in a cage.

meanwhile here in nj just got this.. DON'T EVENTHINK ABOUT USING CORONAVIRUS AS AN EXCUSE TO SHUT DOWN GUN PERMITTING March 18, 2019. Today, ANJRPC convinced one NJ town to voluntarily reverse its shutdown of firearms permitting due to Coronavirus, and is issuing this warning to every other permitting authority in NJ: Don't even THINK of using Coronavirus as an excuse to stop processing firearms permits and credentials. "Times of emergency are precisely the times when people need the right to protect themselves and their families the most," said ANJRPC Executive Director Scott Bach. "ANJRPC will not tolerate any attempt by any municipality to interrupt the firearms permitting process for any reason, and will spare no effort or expense to protect the right of law-abiding New Jerseyans to obtain firearms." ANJRPC attorney Dan Schmutter stated: "It is absolutely unlawful for a local authority that has been injected into the firearms acquisition process to shut down that process because it is unable or unwilling to maintain it during times of emergency -- when Constitutional rights must be protected the most. Towns must either fulfill their Constitutional obligation to maintain an acquisition process, or be eliminated from the process itself. Shutting down the process is simply not an option." If you become aware of any permitting authority in NJ that attempts to shut down the firearms permitting process due to Coronavirus, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so that ANJRPC can address it. Please stay safe during this challenging time, and know that ANJRPC will continue to be vigilant in protecting our Second Amendment rights no matter what.

The check I started on Sunday is now approved.

The average gun owner (and most gun shop employees, apparently) in NJ believes they know 200%* of NJ gun laws and - at best - maybe actually knows 5%. Most of their tales of gun laws should start "I heard from my neighbor's cousin's uncle's barber that he overheard a cop on the phone say that ____ is illegal." People move within the state as well as from out of state all the time, bringing their handguns with them. As long as you are not carrying it outside your property or driving around with it all the time, you should be OK. Meaning pretty much going directly to/from FFL/gunsmith, range, home(s). Guns are most certainly not locked to a specific address. "Gee honey, we can't move, all my guns are linked to 123 any street, guess we are stuck here forever, or the new owner is getting a free gun collection." * Yes, 200%. They make up new laws for NJ that even the idiots in Trenton haven't forced on us peons yet.

Yeah... I was just joking... everything is getting pounded now, tough to find any winners. Just keeping my powder dry for the future bargains.

Oh my.....most of what you're being told is incorrect. Start by reading here: https://www.njsp.org/firearms/firearms-faqs.shtml It's the NJ State Police FAQ on firearms. That should help.

The response is worse...far worse...than the disease. Maybe “the reaction” is a better way to phrase it.

My wife never thought so... Today she does!! Winning!!

Yes, even now more than ever. The price has come down to almost the same price as 9mm. Also, it technically is better than 9mm. Albeit minimally. And now with 9mm being gobbled up (along with 223/556) another caliber in your arsenal is a good thing. Just like having another defensive rifle caliber that is NOT in 223/556. So, buy a 40 S&W police trade-in Glock/S&W on the cheap and stock up on ammo.

Good thing I now have way too many guns and enough ammo to start WW3! At least according to my wife!

Looks like it could also be used for cleaning crock pots. It would scrub that boiled-on rib residue off so fast, you could have it re-installed on the toilet before anyone noticed it was missing.

You only said when things get bad. Nothing about the duration or acuteness of the event. I'm pretty sure that every minute in the cruiser felt like an hour to them, when at any moment, a tree, a power line or flying debris could have killed any one of our cops at any time. If society broke down to an every-man-for-themselves scenario, well, that's a different story. I don't see that happening here anytime soon.

I try to not walk or run on firearms.. that being said, if anything good comes out of this, it will be more gun ownership.

My comment was in no way anti cop.. I didn't say they didnt deserve the pay, I said it came with stipulations... The job has always been hazardous, and they are paid good money because of that.. that was my point..

He's asking for a freind.

This is part of the reason why I EDC. I would have gutted that dog. That said, the quickest way to get a dog to stop attacking is the grab the hind legs and wheelbarrow it. If you can't do that, fingers in the eyes works too. I dearly love dogs. Attack a human and in the ground you go.
