    Their is also a donkey's in Medford but no where near as interesting as the one in Camden. Lol. When we take the kids to the aquarium we always stop at donkey's. You're okay as long as the sun is up. Lol.

    how does congress even have the lawful authority to tell you as a landlord that you must let someone live in your property rent free? the tenant that didn't pay his rent for a year? all while receiving "enhanced" unemployment that nearly equals his paycheck? or sometimes exceeds it? that tenant did nothing wrong? other than squatting when he shoulda been paying his rent, he didn't do anything wrong i guess.

    We’re just over two weeks away from the torch lighting ceremony, so it’s time to introduce the US Team least likely to turn their back on the flag or kneel during the national anthem. Our 2020/2021 Olympians are: Men’s Air Rifle: Lucas Kozeniesky, William Shaner Women’s Air Rifle: Mary Tucker, Ali Weisz Men’s Smallbore Rifle: Patrick Sunderman, Nick Mowrer Women’s Smallbore Rifle: Mary Tucker, Sagen Maddalena Men’s Air Pistol: Nick Mowrer, James Hall Women’s Sport Pistol: Alexis Lagan, Sandra Uptagrafft Rapid Fire Pistol: Henry Leverett, Jackson Leverett Men’s Skeet: Vincent Hancock, Phillip Jungman Women’s Skeet: Austen Smith, Amber English Men’s Trap: Derrick Mein, Brian Burrows Women’s Trap: Kayle Browning, Madelynn Bernau US Olympic Shooting Team I’m struck by how long it’s been since I was on the team (and then not in an Olympic year). I don’t know any of these people… Unfortunately, none of our medalists from the 2016 Rio games are back on the roster. The most experienced competitor on the team is Vincent Hancock, in his 4th Olympics, having won the gold twice before. Kim Rhode missed the cut to compete in an unprecedented 7th Olympiad (having medaled in the previous 6 Olympics). She has stated she’ll be back for the 2024 trials, and may continue on to the tryouts for the 2028 games in Los Angeles. Nick Mowrer is notable for being the first US shooter to qualify in two different disciplines (rifle and pistol) in the same Olympics since 1924. Also of note are brothers Henry and Jackson Leverett, both competing in Rapid Fire Pistol. I sure hope they are on good terms with one another. 280 shooters from other nations will join Team USA to compete in 15 events, though all without spectators due to a Covid resurgence in the Tokyo area: 10m Air Pistol - Men 10m Air Pistol - Women 10m Air Pistol - Mixed Team 25m Pistol - Women 25m Rapid Fire Pistol - Men 10m Air Rifle - Women 10m Air Rifle - Men 10m Air Rifle - Mixed Team 50m Rifle 3 Positions - Women 50m Rifle 3 Positions – Men Shotgun Skeet - Women Shotgun Skeet - Men Shotgun Trap - Women Shotgun Trap - Men Shotgun Trap - Mixed Team The mixed team events are new this year. Men and women competed together in all events until 1988, when separate events for men and women were created. Now, the separate events remain, but a mixed-gender team event has been added. Conspicuously absent from the event list is 50m Free Pistol. THAT makes me mad. Free Pistol had not only been a medal event since the inception of the modern Olympics, it had been the FIRST medal event, as way back in 1896, Baron Pierre de Coubertin (father of the modern games) declared Free Pistol to be the most difficult of the Olympic events, and so reserved it that place of honor. I really hate to see it go. That was MY event, dammit! Well, that and Air Pistol, but I was better at Free Pistol. Tokyo Olympics Shooting Preview The shooting events start with Air Rifle and Air Pistol on Saturday July 24, and continue through Monday August 2 when Rapid Fire Pistol and 3 Position Smallbore Rifle wrap up. You won't see much of these in the TV coverage, but you can find them in the online video feeds. I'll also pop in here periodically to post results.

    But the selection in Camden is so much better! And he'll be that much closer to the cheese steak places in Philly.

    One country is serious about competing for world domination. The other country is serious about helping them do it.

    Day three was very good to the Team USA Skeet Shooters, as they won the gold in both the Men's and Women's events! Returning Olympic Medalist Vincent Hancock was in 4th place after the previous day's qualification round, 2 birds behind the leader, while Amber English was in 3rd place, but 3 birds back. Both pulled it out in the final, each setting new Olympic records, Vincent winning an unprecedented third Olympic Gold Medal in the event. Men's Skeet Gold V. Hancock, USA, 59 (Olympic Record!) Silver J. Hansen, Denmark, 55 Bronze A. Al-Rahshidi, Kuwait, 46 Men's Skeet Finals - video Women's Skeet Gold A. English, USA, 56 (Olympic Record!) Silver D. Bacosi, Italy, 55 Bronze M. Wei, China, 46 Women's Skeet Finals - video In Skeet, after a 125 target qualification round, six shooters advance to the final. In a manner similar to that seen in the air gun events, partway through the final the lowest shooters are eliminated from the squad, one by one, until at the end only the top two shooters remain in head-to-head competition. It is another fairly recent change to how the match is run, probably made in the interest of making it more interesting for the TV audience (and more stressful to the shooters). Since so much is different in international competition than what we are used to in US shooting events, I've attached the link below with good information on how every event works. How are the Olympic shooting events scored?

    Personally I think that was the dumbest idea for firearm 'accessories' I've ever seen. For a host of reasons.

    The first glock that looks good in my opinion. But the name is quite well suited to it's shape, "Block 19".

    Federal NICS checks are instantly approved as soon as the dealer hits the submit button, only if the name submitted is not flagged. If not instant, the check goes into a RESEARCHING status where the identifiers are compared to the data bases searched. The time for this has recently been taking about 30 minutes. Then result could be APPROVED, DENIED, or DELAYED. The DELAYED has been taking 1 to 2 days before getting an approval. After 3 business days (Brady Law), the DELAYED goes into an OPEN status, where the dealer can transfer the firearm at his discretion. After 30 days, the status goes away. Denials are self explanatory. Of course, in NJ the clock does not start until an NTN is issued to the dealer for a NICS check.

    We now know what they are going to do. Personally, I think it's a bad move. ...."July 27 (Reuters) - Remington Arms Co on Tuesday offered to pay nearly $33 million to nine families to settle lawsuits claiming that its marketing of firearms contributed to the 2012 Sandy Hook school massacre in Newtown, Connecticut, where 26 people died. The proposed settlements would provide $3.66 million to relatives of each victim, subject to approval by the federal judge overseeing Remington's bankruptcy case in Alabama. Only nine families joined the lawsuit, and many joined for political reasons, as the goal is to increase the financial pressure on companies that sell "assault weapons", a label popular among proponents of gun control. The families initially claimed that Remington knowingly marketed the gun for use by people to "carry out offensive, military style combat missions against their perceived enemies." https://www.zerohedge.com/political/remington-reaches-historic-33-million-settlement-families-sandy-hook-victims

    Hey all, have not been here is quite a while since I have been in the Free State of Florida for three years now. My Dad in Long Island is looking to buy a Pistol just to have in his home. I thought the laws in NJ were crazy, but it seems NY is trying to out do NJ. He sent me the following e-mail a few minutes ago: "I took your advise and went to my local gun dealer, Hunters Essentials, on Willis Ave., Albertson. They are very nice. This is where I bought my rifle last year. This isn’t New Jersey! There are now only 3 dealers in Nassau County. They told me that now that I’ve had my final “interview” it could take a month or several until my permit is ready for pick up! It took me 9 months to get to this point. He told me that if someone applies today, this wait is now 16 months!!! I asked if I could “try on” a few models to see “how they fit”. He laughed, saying that I can no longer put my hands on an unloaded pistol without a permit. Can you believe this?" The permit my dad is talking about is not a carry permit, it is just a permit to buy a handgun that you keep in your home.

    You must be a resident of New York and have a New York State county of residence issued Pistol Permit to shoot and/or rent a handgun at a range.

    On the CNN town hall, Biden is trying again: During a CNN town hall on Wednesday night, President Biden said that he is pushing to end the sale of pistols and rifles that have the ability to fire multiple rounds. “I’m the only guy that ever got — passed legislation when I was a senator to make sure we eliminated assault weapons,” Biden said, referencing the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons ban. “The idea you need a weapon that can have the ability to fire 20, 30, 40, 50, 120 shots from that weapon, whether it’s a, whether it’s a 9mm pistol or whether it’s a rifle, is ridiculous,” Biden said. “I’m continuing to push to eliminate the sale of those things, but I’m not likely to get that done in the near term.” https://timcast.com/news/biden-im-pushing-to-end-sale-of-multiple-round-rifles-and-pistols/
