    One of my Dad's rules when we were younger....always have some mad money in your wallet....I am floored with the amount of people that walk around with zero cash....It tells me a lot about where their head is ie prepping, cashless system etc.....

    It was Sandy...not that my family was affected but many around us were. We had water, lights, a way to cook. And then I remembered back to Katrina and the superdome and how no one is coming for awhile....As I looked back my Dad stored stuff quietly....So I started asking what if and then started prepping. Being in NJ is not the place you want to be if something really goes down but in the meantime I will prep with where I am and what I can...

    Thanks all...Had a chance to go to FSS today. Could not have been a better experience. Ross (and the woman who I did not catch her name) was so helpful walking me through the process since I am waiting on permits, ordering online, and differences in my favorites pistols that I recently tried out. My first purchase was discontinued by manufacturer...

The people in DC was so helpful, if you pulled out a map people would come up to you and ask if you needed help...We took amtrak down from NJ into Union Station and stayed at Embassy Suites http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g28970-d84062-Reviews-or10-Embassy_Suites_Chevy_Chase_Pavilion-Washington_DC_District_of_Columbia.html#REVIEWS

    My dad started by showing us his rifles when he would clean them...He would show us how to disassemble, clean oil and let us help him all while talking about safety. This way we would handle them and get that part out of our system. I think he started us at the range when we were about 10 or so...I don't remember shooting the pistols till I was very comfortable with the rifles...

    Christie Administration Announces E-Mail and Fax Voting Available to New Jerseyans Displaced by Hurricane Sandy

     

    Already Available to Military and Overseas Voters, State Opens Electronic Voting System to Make Voting More Accessible to Citizens Displaced by Hurricane Sandy and First Responders Assisting in Recovery Efforts

     

    Trenton, NJ – The New Jersey Department of State has issued a directive today to county elections officials to permit New Jersey registered voters displaced by Hurricane Sandy to vote electronically. This directive also is intended to assist displaced first responders, whose tireless recovery efforts away from home has made voting a challenge.

     

    “This has been an extraordinary storm that has created unthinkable destruction across our state and we know many people have questions about how and where to cast their vote in Tuesday’s election. To help alleviate pressure on polling places, we encourage voters to either use electronic voting or the extended hours at county offices to cast their vote,” said Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno. “Despite the widespread damage Hurricane Sandy has caused, New Jersey is committed to working through the enormous obstacles before us to hold an open and transparent election befitting our state and the resiliency of its citizens.”

     

    To vote electronically, displaced voters may submit a mail-in ballot application either by e-mail or fax to their county clerk. Once an application is approved, the clerk will electronically send a ballot to the voter by either fax or e-mail in accordance to the voter’s preference. Voters must return their electronic ballot – by fax or email – no later than November 6, 2012, at 8 p.m.

     

    Voters can download a mail-in ballot application for their county by visiting http://nj.gov/state/elections/voting-information-vote-by-mail.html. A list of county clerk websites, phone numbers and fax numbers are available by visiting http://nj.gov/state/elections/voting-information-local-officials.html.

     

    Separate directives issued today enable displaced voters and first responders to vote by provisional ballot at a polling place in a county other than the voter’s county of registration. The deadline for county clerks to receive mail-in ballots has been extended to November 19, 2012, for any ballot postmarked on or before November 5, 2012. Mail-in ballots post marked later than November 5 will not be accepted.

     

    County elections officials have also been directed to print a sufficient number of provisional and emergency ballots to accommodate voters.

     

    Voters are encouraged to take advantage of extended office hours at county elections offices to cast their vote early and in-person. Registered voters can obtain and cast their ballot in-person at their county elections office up until 3 pm Tuesday. County election offices are to remain open, at a minimum, from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm throughout the weekend, until November 5. Voters that have a mail-in ballot and choose to deliver their ballot to the county elections office in person must present their completed ballot to their county elections office no later than the close of polls on Tuesday.

     

    Information is also available by calling 1-877-NJVOTER.
