Photo of the totality my wife took with her SLR: There was some bright pink/ruby light at about 7 o'clock that was really cool. You can see a hint of it in the photo. Moment of totality looking West (From the VT side towards Plattsburgh NY) over Lake Champlain: If you zoom in, you can see Venus at 5 o’clock a little less than halfway between the eclipse and the mountains.

I wasn’t thinking about buying a new gun. Really. It just kinda…happened. There I was, at GT Distributors, minding my own business, when out of nowhere, came this police trade in Glock 19.. $309, with 3 mags! I mean, I couldn’t NOT buy it, it was so cheap! That’s how I explained it to Mrs Tex, anyway. Now it’s dressed up as a clone of my carry gun.

I hope so. If I could only change one NJ Gun Law, it would be to deep six any and all magazine restrictions. That law, in my opinion, has the greatest effect on gun owners in our state.

Look bro, a lot of us miss Zeke, but self harm is not the answer, and Jones-townsing relatives is just wrong.

I’d like to buy that Sheriff a beer.

Did we cover the Mayor of Englishtown's response to Platkin's sticker yet?: https://twitter.com/DFrancisco7/status/1773161575475532275

I'm getting my orange blockers ready

Actually.... It was the Ramapo fault.

I'm doing my part. I just ordered some 10 rounders for the DWXc that I'm buying. Murphy's law dictates that the law is reversed as soon as I get them.

For those who do not have experience with two way radio beyond GI Joe walkie-talkies, y'all need to understand something if you are planning on using radio comms in a SHTF scenario. A single $30.00 BeefWang is not going to save you from anything. You need a plan, base stations, repeaters, mobiles and a network of trained (and trusted) individuals to support a SHTF comms scheme.

Thought I'd throw up a few pics from my trip this morning. Signed up for membership last month, the place is awesome. Weather was perfect this a.m.

I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism. 1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that. 2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar. 3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty. It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters. 4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events. This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack.

An AI bot couldn’t have said it any better!

There's a few things I noted on the website that's important to consider: Red Flag 1: Exclusion of Pending Applications The state demanded pending applications not be included. Red Flag 2: Exclusion of Application Date vs. Issue Date The state didn't report the application date versus the issue date . Red Flag 3: Exclusion of Demographics Demographics by locality was not provided even though the state has this on the municipality level. What's even more interesting is the fact they actually have this information. So not only were the towns instructed to not include pending submissions, the state intentionally didn't want to share it with us. They also only displayed demographics on county level by the way which was probably done intentionally (you can't find out town by town). They also don't show approval/denial rates by age or race. This is the spreadsheet every municipality had to submit: https://www.nj.gov/oag/dcj/agguide/directives/ag-Directive-2023-02_Appendix-A.xlsx for those interested. The tabulation we created can be found here: https://www.njnics.com/ptc.php

Critical Duty has the Hornady H logo on the polymer tip. Critical Defense does not.

This mindset baffles me. Shooting is a depreciating skill. If you don't practice, you will become worse at it. If you value your life enough to want to defend it, why would you rely on a skill that you don't practice? If the best I can do on a good day is scrape a pass on CCARE, I would be determined to get better at shooting - and yes I did see that you scored 98% - but your attitude appears to be that you shouldn't have to practice first. Trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, perhaps you mean that the government should not mandate that you have to meet any kind of standard before you can carry. I agree. There should not be any mandated quals. However, only a fool would be carrying a gun he can't use effectively. It does little to protect himself and creates a danger to everyone else because the misses will go on to hit something or someone after they miss the intended target.

Sunday May 5th 2024 Don't get caught with your pants down. Practice now. Shooting commences at 0900 and keeps going until we get bored, run out of ammo, or hear mom calling us home. Shoots go until at least 1300, leaving plenty of time for everyone to stop in at any time and join the party. As always, these clay shoots are informal gatherings, just plain good fun to promote shooting sports and encourage training. Please feel free to bring friends and family. Shooters of all experience are welcome, if you have never shot clays before, or want some tips on improving your skills, this is your chance to dust off that shotgun sitting in a dark corner of your closet and gain some needed experience. What you will need. Bring your shotgun(s), as much #7.5 or #8 lead target/field loads as you want to shoot, and depending on how much you want to shoot, a carton of clay pigeons would be great. Targets (ie. clay pigeons) are available at Solomon's Shooter Supply in Farmingdale. Some Walmarts carry targets. Sadly, Shooters, as we knew it, is closed and has become Shooters Hardware, relocated to 218 Main St, West Creek, NJ, 08092. Don't forget eyes and ears. Also recommended is a chair, sun screen, insect repellent, and something to drink. I will be bringing an automatic trap machine, if you have a thrower, please bring it as a backup or second station. If you don't have a shotgun and just want to see what clay shoot'n is all about, a loaner shotgun will be available. For those who plan on shooting rifles, you must have a firearms hunting license, or be on the rifle range with someone that has a license. In addition to the traditional rimfire and muzzle loaders, Stafford now allows center-fire up to .30 caliber. Basic Checklist Shotgun and/or rifle Ammo Firearm hunting license, if you have one (not mandatory, just helpful) Eye and ear protection (mandatory) Clay targets (optional but recommended for volume shooters) Shell pouch (optional) Folding chair (optional) Hydration County Rd 539, Barnegat, NJ 08005, USA , Little Egg Harbor Township. GPS Latitude: 39.58980 Longitude: -74.35647 ATTENDING: 1) Scorpio64 +3 2) Air Traffic Controller 3) High Exposure 4) Double D 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) 10)

These Libtards really are morons. They leave a screwed up state and then vote for the same bullshit when they move to a state that they thought was a great place to live. "Stupid is as stupid does".

Dan Schmutter will be on GunForHireRadio 674 next Sunday for a full breakdown. He, Nappen, Bach, etc are analyzing now.

Nice! I saw this on a door in Sodus Bay, NY when we were up there watching the overcast that had an eclipse behind it on Monday. Much of upstate NY feels the same way about the nonsense that comes out of Albany and NYC.

Trump's fault!!!!

Yea, No. Not gunna do it, not going to jam a handgun with an unguarded trigger into my pants. Didn't need the state statute to tell me it's a bad idea.

Happy Easter to one and all here! Now that Christ is risen, I pray he helps us save our great nation!

Christ is risen!!! Happy Easter to all.

I think some of you are over thinking this.
