As for hairball schemes, even against a small aircraft a .50 will do next to nothing unless you manage to hit the engine (which is TINY in a small aircraft). You'd be better off trying to fly the helicopter into any of the planes--large or small. It's been said, and I'll repeat it....

The devastation, so far. I fear for us all throughout the night as Irene unleashes her true rage and displays her extreme power and force!

Yeah, water is your biggest enemy here in Jersey. It seems this place floods at the slightest rain and the news reporters don't hesistate to squeal about 2 inches of standing water in the road. I was in south FL for Andrew (1992) and central FL for Charley, Frances and Jeanne (2004). Other than Andrew (landfall with 130 mph winds), rain is the problem. I am doing nothing to prepare for this storm, except, I will avoid parking under any trees and will make sure that I have a fresh 6-pack to last the weekend.

If he actually means this....

Bump for results! See Update in original post.

Don't bother calling. The Senate Law and Public Safety Committee is where all the laws that will give us our 2A rights back go to die. It'll stay there with all the CCW bills that are introduced every legislative year. :thsmiley_deadhorse:

Here's a karma item that might be relevant to everyone's interests. In order to qualify for this give-away, you must: 1) Be a Premier Member here on NJGF AND 2) Be a CURRENT, dues-paying member of a grassroots pro-2A organization (i.e. NOT the NRA). I would recommend NJ2AS or SAF. (I will require proof of this from the winner!) That means, if you're not a member, now, you've got 1 week to join up! I bought this Cobra FS 380 in pink partly as a joke, partly to see if I liked the .380 caliber and partly to give my wife some experience with a semi-auto. Turns out, the gun isn't as reliable as I want. The bad: It fails to feed about once every magazine. Not really a big deal, just clear it and keep going. Some people have had luck with dremeling off the paint from the feed ramp or using different ammo. Also, the gun comes with a lifetime manufacturer warranty. So, instead of trying to fix it yourself, if it doesn't work with different ammo, you can send it back to Cobra and they'll take a shot (pun) at fixing it. Oh, and I didn't clean it after I shot it, so it's a little dirty. The good: It's free, it goes bang, it comes with all the Sellier and Bellot .380 FMJ ammo that I have left (about 450 rounds), a magazine, a hard case and a cable lock. I would prefer a face-to-face transfer, otherwise, you pay all shipping! If you don't have any valid PPP's, I will hold the gun until the permit comes through. If you want to be in the drawing, either post in this thread saying you want in, or send me a PM. DEADLINE: August 20, 2011 at 11:59 p.m. DRAWING: August 21, 2011 _________________________________________________________________________________________ UPDATE: I put everyone's name into a bowl and drew. Heaterbob, you came out! Congratulations! I hope you enjoy the pistol.

Here's a NJ statute to read for fun: Oh, and WELCOME TO THE BOARD!

Here's what I understand. First, NJ statute says that your FPID is valid until you are a disqualified person. The statutes say absolutely nothing about changing the information on your FPID for ANY reason. However, the NJ administrative code says that if you move, you must change your FPID address, also. It does NOT say your FPID is invalid, though, only that you must get the address updated. I'm unaware of a Rule syaing you must change your FPID if your eyes change color. Also, I don't know if there is a NJ Administrative Rule saying that you cannot still use your FPID if it doesn't match your driver's license, but I haven't read the whole code. Either way, most FFL's are not eager to transfer to you if the info doesn't match between your DL and FPID. So, what does this mean? Your FPID is still good and valid. I don't know of a statute or regulation that says you have to update your FPID if your eyes change color. FFL's (like Paul), probably aren't going to do an eye-color comparison between your DL and FPID. It's your decision what you do with this info.

Just don't try to feed fire ants to your turtle. It can turn out not so good for the turtle. :dead_turtle_icon.gif:

*shivers* WORD, Mipa! I grew up in FL. Fire ants are the worst. .50 Cal ants were bad, but too rare...along with tree ants (which, along with .50 cals, are actually wasps that sting, rather than bite.) E80: Nice kill!

Title sort of says it all. This happened in Monaco, I just think it's funny. http://autos.yahoo.com/news/million-dollar-fender-bender.html

According to Wiki, Norway has a high civilian gun ownership for shooting sports and hunting. However, "There is no apparent public desire to introduce a concealed carry permit at this point in time, and there is no such license available to civilians." Not that it would be much help, he attacked a children's camp, so most of the populace could not be armed, anyway. Talk about the epitome of a non-military target. What a coward. Although, armed camp counselors might have helped.

WOW...now at almost 328k views! This video is averaging about 100,000 views per day! Wonder if Mainstream Media (or Lamestream, if you're from Alaska) will pick this up in a couple days?

Sorry, but you're dead wrong. In the case of Hiibel v. Sixth Judicial Circuit of Nevada (2004, I think), the sole question was, under the US Constituion, whether the police can require you to give your name if requested. In a 5-4 decision, SCOTUS decided that your name is not protected by either the US Const. 4A or the US Const. 5A. Thus, the police CAN constitutionally require you to give your name, when they approach you and CAN arrest or detain you if failure to give your name is violation of state law. I don't know NJ's state law regarding this, and NJ's constitution may give you more rights than the US Const. But, as a US citizen, you must give your name to police when asked.

Oh, there's so much that these two Badge-Clowns did wrong, it would take 2 hours to write it up. From telling the "prostitute" to never come back to the area, to the search, to all of the threats to the CCW holder...it would be a long list.

Ohio CCW posted this the other day. If we were to ever get CCW here in NJ, THIS is exactly why we should fight against the inclusion of any "Notification" Laws.

He's not legally residing in the house, that's the problem. He is a tresspasser (that's sort of one of the requirements of adverse possession). However, the neighbors don't really have any way to claim tresspass or to have him removed through a civil action (eviction/quiet title etc), because they don't have any rights to the house, so, they can't ask the police or the courts to remove him. The only party that can ask the police to remove the guy is the owner of record (the mortgage company), which no longer exists. Perhaps the police could pick him up for criminal tresspass, but I don't know Texas law to tell you if he is committing that crime. In the end, he's holding himself out as the owner of the property and daring the "owner" to file a lawsuit to evict him. I'm surprised the Texas adverse possession statute is so short (only 3 years)!!!!! Best of luck to him, if he's smart enough to research and understand the law and diligent enough to do the research to find a property like this one where he is extremely unlikely to get kicked off of, he might end up being a really good neighbor to live next to. Bunch of up-tight McMansion owners....well, that's a different rant. Never mind.

So, what you're saying is, you're too cool to step out of your comfort zone and have a little fun? Go ahead, click the link, everyone's doin' it! It'll be fun, I promise!

And for reference: This man is a DEMOCRAT With an NRA A RATING Source *See, we're not all evil. Though, I am more independant/Libertarian in my beliefs.

It depends. I took 3 novice shooters to the range. We only used one port and one firearm, NO NOVICE SHOOTERS ALONE WITH A FIREARM! I supervised the whole time, the RO at Bullet Hole was not only nice, but he took one of the shooters aside and let her (I'm sure it didn't hurt that it was a girl) shoot his side arm and helped teach her a bit more. It was a bit of a slow Saturday at BH, so he had the time. We all took turns and all had good, safe fun. HOWEVER, none of my novice shooters were "Mr. Know-it-all" like you've got. I would gauge his behavior the next time you see him. If he doesn't appear open to instruction, tell him that's one of the conditions of using your guns, that he has to listen to every word you say. It depends on your relationship with the guy, but it's worked well with all the novice shooters that I've introduced to shooting. Good Luck, have fun and stay safe.

HA! Yup, that's about right.

At first, I was worried that you were admitting to having a suppressed M16. Then, I realized you live in a free state. I agree, tree climbing is one of the most liberating feelings, especially if you can get hold of a tall one and even moreso if you can get to spot where you can see far off in the distance. I haven't climbed a tree in about 14 years, but the memory of the feeling hasn't faded. Glad you had some fun this weekend!

Nothing stopping you that I know of...except OGAM. You can only do it once, make it a good one!

Welcome to the board! Perhaps your sister-in-law will come shoot with you and your nephew some day. It never hurts to try to create a convert.
