    This is supposed to start in ~1 hour.

    Don't think there will be any video/audio broadcasts, but I believe FPC is going to live blog it on their twitter:

    We might also have some NJ people live blogging via the NJ Firearms Owners Syndicate Facebook page:

    and those are the ones from your mag..they were red at one time....carbon as you say....mine look rubbed and dirty from my pocket....I've noticed the rubber attracts junk......omo....switched to something else.

    Not one feeding/chambering hangup in all the times they've been handled and re-chambered.

    I WILL fire these off on my next range trip and report back.

    Was this a formal debate with opening comments, cross examinations, closing comments and timed audience questions, or a.shouting match like many Presidential debates?

    Formal, as you describe, and very civil.  No screaming or table pounding from the major participants, although there were some raised voices during audience questions.

    Worth the watch.

    don't care much for these rubber tipped rounds....they attract dirt in the magazine and the rubber gets dirty, and the rubber wears / rubs if your carrying the mag in pocket.....could affect loading port delivery.....omo.

    Here's the Hornaday Critical Defense rounds I've been cycling in and out of of my G26 and G19 mags for home and PTC carry for the last ~4 years.  I unload them from the mag in so I can load FMJ's for range sessions, usually onto my bed comforter, and then put them in a dish on the dresser. 

    They've fallen on the floor and rolled into the under bed dust bunnies a bunch of times.  I've carried them loaded in a mag in my pocket a bunch of times. 

    I carry with a round in the chamber, so they've all been chambered a bunch of times.

    Never an issue.  I don't think the rubber/polymer/whatever tip actually contacts the feed ramp, but maybe I'll do a close up video of a slow chambering to check.  The tips definitely collected carbon residue, but they're not  looking like they're packed with feeding or chambering inhibiting detritus to my eyes.

    I probably should fire these off my next range trip and cycle new ones in.

    Judi Franco's decision to become a gun owner in New Jersey sparks an intriguing discussion. As a popular radio host, her experience adds depth to the ongoing dialogue surrounding gun ownership and regulations. Her perspective sheds light on the diverse reasons individuals choose to arm themselves, while also prompting reflection on the responsibilities and complexities involved in firearm ownership within the Garden State's legal framework. Such discussions are vital in fostering understanding and navigating the nuanced terrain of gun rights and safety.

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

    Reading that the ship crew put out a Mayday in time for"authorities" to get traffic stopped on the bridge.  Fortuitous!

    Radio traffic in the moments before a cargo ship collided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore captures how authorities stopped traffic and worked to clear the bridge before the impact.

    Officials warned of the ship approaching the bridge, according to a Broadcastify recording of the transmissions.

    "I need one of you guys on the south side, one of you guys on the north side, hold all traffic on the Key Bridge. There's a ship approaching that just lost their steering (unintelligible) under control, we've got to stop all traffic," the person said.

    In the audio, units reported that the bridge had collapsed about 90 seconds later. CNN has confirmed that the bridge collapsed at 1:27 a.m.

    Looks like the "official" data is about 1/3 of the people I know that have permits and a tiny, tiny fraction of the people I don't know.

    I'm wondering if NJOAG actually received a response/data from those towns, or just interpreted non-response as "No permits issued."

    Anthony Colandro at GunForHire is questioning the total number of permits at ~35k - per his records they qualified ~14k people, and he doubts that ~1/3rd of all PTC's received qualified through his range.

    Anyone got a cruise planned? 

    Nope, but I'm planning to drive down to Wash D.C. suburbs to visit family Thursday night, and I normally drive 95 through Baltimore. 

    Going to be planning an alternate route I guess.

    Saw the video early this morning, that was crazy - all the poor people on that bridge.  I read some online rumors that the construction workers on the bridge saw the ship coming and moved their vehicles to block more traffic from coming on the bridge.  If so, that's heroic.
