    Just be his friend. Most likely, that’s what he needs most. There is nothing magic you can say that will ease his pain. Being his friend is the best you can do. Make time in your life to include him.

    If you're looking for something fun and patriotic to do on July 4th, consider coming to Washington Crossing Park (PA side) https://www.washingtoncrossingpark.org/ and learn a little history. We'll be reading the Declaration of Independence (4 times!), have a military encampment, firing cannon, and generally celebrating what makes this nation great. Our schedule is: 12:30 Declaration Reading 1:00 Cannon 1:30 Declaration Reading 2:00 Cannon 2:30 Declaration Reading 2:45 Lecture on Ten Crucial Days in Auditorium (20 minutes) 3:30 Declaration Reading I'll be commanding cannon fire. We'll field our 4 pounder, which makes a lot of noise (5 ounces of 1F powder!). Stop by and introduce yourself! I'll be the tall guy hanging out with the cannon crew and telling you everything you wanted to know about 18th C artillery but were afraid to ask.

    Although I get your (understandably!) cynical point of view... it's also hard to ignore that there's one very serious difference between "then" and "now". Even if ALL these various cases move glacially, as you say, through the courts - as so many NJ gun cases have done in the past - in the meantime, law-abiding NJ citizens are at least carrying concealed. Frankly?... I never thought I'd see that day. Did you? I think this latest chapter - this decision by Judge Bumb - is yet another "win" no matter how you slice it. And the fact that this judge took so much time and turned out such a lengthy and carefully annotated product... makes me think that she KNEW damn well this case would be immediately appealed, and that it would be closely watched by other courts around the country, and she was making sure to dot the i's and cross the t's on this initial decision... so that it would withstand any future appeal process. I think she's going to be JUST as careful when the full case is heard and decided. And yes, the fact that Alito is over that next level court... if these combined cases ever get to that point, well, from my (albeit limited) understanding, it certainly doesn't hurt us! For years, pro-2A NJ citizens had NOTHING but bad legislation and even worse legal decisions to despair over. But the fact is... the Bruin case DID change things. It gave much-needed "teeth" to the pro-2A side... in the form of clear, compelling guidance on what courts need to do to decide 2A cases... and now we're seeing a series of wins as a direct result. You know, it's ok to crack a smile... perhaps even lift a celebratory glass... at each step we win.

    Hmmmm… in 2023 shootings in NJ dropped below 1000 - that’s around a 30% decrease… I wonder if there is a correlation.

    It was a good day, about 15 show up, and we snagged a new member. We had three traps going, with two set up throwing doubles, that was a hoot. Several birds and one deer decided to play no-man's-land WW I style, I'm actually surprised two of the suicidal birds didn't get shot as they crossed paths with targets. The biggest news of the day, Peel broke clays while they were still in the air, what's more, she did it three times in a row. Just goes to show that the right gun can improve your game.

    Memorial day is a day of reflection and remembrance of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. I am reminded of the words of General George S. Patton who said: It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.

    It says "the people", not simply, people, not referring to anyone with a pulse on US soil, but US citizens. "The people", is specific to a distinct group. Illegal immigrants are some people, but they are not "The People". "The People" referenced in 2A are, We The People of the United States, as prescribed in big bold letters, page one of the Declaration of Independence. There is no contradiction for a constitutional purist.

    While I agree that NJ is an oppressive state, and the Gov is a commie, if you had told me 3 years ago that you actually COULD get a LTC in NJ, I would have called you crazy. The good citizens of NJ have won a major battle for gun rights. Now that y’all have momentum, keep fighting. Harder. Giving up isn’t an option. Keep fighting.

    https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/breaking-huge-2a-win-in-massachusetts-penalties-for-carrying-across-state-lines-axed-by-state-court-another-step-to-constitutional-carry.7185308/ UGUST 21, 2023. LOWELL MASSACHUSETTS. Just before the official business day closed today Monday, August 21, 2023, the Lowell District Court had reached it's verdict regarding Massachusett's overbearing gun laws and License To Carry (LTC) requirements. A state with gun laws similar to New York City, which have seen the arrests, incarceration, and fining of many unwary travelers who had carried their legally owned firearms across state/city lines, this case began when a New Hampshire man named Dean Donnell, who is licensed to carry in his home state, was arrested by Massachusetts state police during a routine traffic stop when MA troopers discovered that Mr. Donnell did not hold a MA LTC required to carry in the state of Massachusetts. Instead of taking plea deals or agreeing to reduced/dropped charges in exchange for a hefty fine, Mr. Donnell filed a case back at the state citing that the core principles of the Second Amendment had been violated with his arrest and detaining. In the conclusion of this landmark case today, the Lowell District Court ruled that the State of Massachusett's ordinance barring law abiding concealed carriers from entering the state without a state LTC is UNCONSTITUTIONAL and violates the 2nd Amendment. In addition, they ruled that the arrest of Mr. Dean Donnell on these firearms charges was a violation of his civil rights and had subjected him to 'cruel and unusual punishment' because this issue should NOT have been a criminal issue and subject to criminal penalties. This verdict not only spells doom for Massachusett's blatant constitutional violations preying on law abiding citizens, but sets the groundwork to strike down all other states and localities with similar unconstitutional anti-gun laws. Today's victory is made possible by last year's groundbreaking New York State case NYSRPA (New York State Rifle and Pistol Association) vs. Bruen, which saw the Supreme Court strike down NY State and New York City's anti-CCW and pistol licensing requirements as unconstitutional.

    Goodness! With so many dads and expectant dads in this community, we really can't let this holiday slide by, can we? My dear dad has been gone a few years now, but there's not a day that passes that I don't think of him. He was the best - intelligent, multifaceted (a true Renaissance Man), strong, a steady provider, a devoted husband & dad, reliable as the day is long - IMO, he modeled what a man should be every day of his life. Fathers are so very important! Not only do those of us who had good dads present in our lives understand this intuitively and through our life experience, but even the science backs it up! In households without a dad present, boys are more likely to drop out of school, join a gang, get arrested... girls, meanwhile, are more likely to (also) drop out of school, be sexually abused, end up as pregnant unmarried teens, etc. A good dad stands as a quiet sentinel in a family - keeping trouble at bay. In a day and age where we hear ad hominem attacks on "toxic masculinity", and men, frankly, get trashed right and left on social media... I think it's appropriate that we acknowledge how much good men actually bring to the table. Father's Day is a great day to do that. So... HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!! If your dad is still with us and tried his best to be a good dad, I hope you either spent some time with him today or gave him a call (and the day is young, it's not too late). And if your dad is no longer with us, then send him your good thoughts in Heaven. I know he'll hear you.

    I wouldn’t saddle the military or most cops with them, just the protection details for every politician who supports smart guns.

    Tired of leaning shotguns on benches or storing them in pickup beds at Clinton WMA? I’ve recently retired and have started building folding gun racks. Racks are made of pine, finished in either light or dark stain and then sealed with polyurethane. Stands will accommodate 5 guns and barrel inserts are felt lined. I currently have 1 light and 2 dark stands available for sale. Stands are $80 each. Available for pickup at Clinton WMA or possible delivery depending on your location. The first to post “I’ll take it” wins the sale.

    No background check is needed for an 80% kit. They are perfectly legal to buy and complete in PA. The only offense is an NJ law which is possession of a "ghost gun". Nobody in PA is beholden to an NJ law. The vendor in PA is not responsible for any individual who chose to break NJ law by transporting the 80% kit into NJ. This overreach by Platkin needs to be stopped.

    An old man was eating in a truck stop when three rough-looking bikers walked in. As they passed the old man, the first biker pushed his cigarette into the old man's pie, then laughed and took a seat at the counter. The second biker picked up the old man's milk and spit into it. The third biker turned over the old man's plate before joining the others at the counter. Without saying a word to the laughing bikers, the old man put his money down, got up, and left the diner. One of the bikers said to the waitress, "Not much of a man, was he?" The waitress replied," Not much of a truck driver either. He just backed his big rig over three motorcycles!"

    Never vote for a Democrat. This is what you get every time. Every city they are in charge of is an absolute shit hole. Everything they touch turns to shit. They think they know everything but they dont know shit.

    That was an option not standard. Standard, it came with chamber inserts that allowed the use of .22 LR. The hammer had a switch that changed the firing pin for use with either centerfire (.22 Jet) or rimfire (.22 LR). Here's mine... [/IMG] All the boxes had the cutout for the extra cylinder and for the chamber inserts. Current going rate for the Model 53 would be appx $1800 - $2800 dependent on barrel length, condition and completeness. As much as I love S&W, I think that if I had $200K to spend on something I like, it would probably have four wheels. Adios, Pizza Bob

    Isn't it sad when your new laws are so egregious, that even people on the other coast are making videos about them? Meanwhile, actual criminals don't need to post bail and are put right back on the street. Disgusting!

    Keyport Coffee Cafe in Keyport has a "lawfully concealed firearms WELCOME" sign next to the front door. So, next time you need a double half-caf triple soy latte, head on in. Their regular brew is actually quite good.

    They were labelled "cop killer bullets". It was recycling the same con that the politicians have been using for decades. Create a scary boogeyman that the lazy, uninformed voter will take on face value. Present yourself as the savior that will slay the boogeyman. Get voted in again. Rinse, repeat. They have done it over and over again and the dumb voters keep buying it. Covid, ebola, Trump, China, the Russians, global warming, ozone layer, acid rain, commies, gun owners, AR-15s, murder hornets, etc. You get the idea.

    I think it’s more like the laws are written by nitwits that don’t know how bullets work and someone decided HPs were scary

    NJ will continue, with all conscious and deliberative intent, to make this process as costly... cumbersome... and confusing as possible. You can take that to the bank. They don't WANT you to carry! They prefer to punish you, the law-abiding, while - for instance - setting aside millions to provide people who came here illegally with fully funded legal services...or, doing away with cash bail so that common criminals can be released back onto the streets as rapidly as possible. This is a truly ass-backwards state!
