  1. Sorry guys, but the urban districts that drive this state into the Blue are unreachable. No amount of money or "outreach" or moderation of viewpoints on our side will win these people over, ever. Just look at the results from last night for East Orange. Anyone who knows anything about Essex Country knows that this city is the poster child for the destructive side-effects of unchallenged progressive/liberal/Democrat rule. What they have done to this city since the 1960s is nothing short of criminal, yet look at the mayoral and council votes!!! Not a single Republican even ran. Why bother when the voting base is solidly 90-95% in the Democreep pocket, election cycle after election cycle. What is it, aside from the obvious economic incentives provided by Big Gov't, that keep the cities voting against their interests? The coming amnesty for illegals that is right around the corner will drive the State irrevocably off the cliff. There will still be sizeable red districts, but the state will no longer be challenged. I see NO hope for this state. East Orange MAYOR One 4-year term x Lester E. Taylor (D) COUNCIL WARD 1 One 4-year term x Christopher D. James (D) COUNCIL WARD 2 One 4-year term x Romal Bullock (D) COUNCIL WARD 3 One 4-year term x Theodore R. Green (D)* COUNCIL WARD 4 One 4-year term x Tyshammie L. Cooper (D) COUNCIL WARD 5 One 4-year term x Alicia Holman (D)*
  2. I hope his kids remember that their Mother is the cause of having guns in their face and being yanked out of the shower and handcuffed naked, being humiliated, etc etc. Upside is that if he wins his freedom, getting full custody should be a piece of cake. It is rotten what "adults" can do to their kids in divorce to get revenge on someone else.
  3. Is this something that you can sense coming? Or does it just appear one day? Does it seem more intense in one ear than the other? This is actually something I've feared getting lately as I am having some hearing issues as I get older.
  4. If there are a lot of people new to the sport going there, and safety seems to be something of an issue at the place, do they have a new member shoot/walk-through/orientation? Sounds childish I suppose, but having everyone go through at least one evolution with an RO in the beginning would solve some of these problems before they got bigger and required yelling. A ton of people are coming to the sport today having no previous experience, not having the importance of safety drilled into them by their father/grandfather or the military. So, while a class like this might not have been necessary in the 70s or 80s, seems like it definitely is today. I am looking for a good outdoor range to join in NJ, and this one seems to have the best price/location combo for me. I wouldn't be put off at having to pay a little bit more to attend a required hands-on safety class.
  5. I laughed when I saw it yesterday and was about to re-post it, but knew that at least one d-bag on my page would report me to the FB Police because of hurt feelings. Not worth getting on another list. Someone should re-shoot the photo with pants up. I don't think they should ban it for just being crude.
  6. Creepshow. METEOR SH*T!!!!!!
  7. While hunting deer do you use a stand or ground blind? I'm thinking a blind is my only choice because I am WAY too clumsy to deal with a tree stand.
  8. As a relatively new hunter (2nd/3rd season, right?), do you go out by yourself or do you have a partner? I'm just wondering because this will be my first season and I plan on just flying blind, going out alone to learn what I can by experience, backed up by what I've read/watched on the Interwebz. Not expecting much beyond just getting time in the woods, but it would be good to hear other beginners' experience. Just about everything I've read on forums points towards newbies learning by being on our own and just going out there and observing.
  9. If the guy was ordered to do it, so be it. But I don't have any experience with this kind of stuff -- shouldn't they at least knock on his door and inform him what they were going to do first before ripping it down? Or is it standard for them to just come onto property and tear it up?
  10. Hi guys, For my first season out I am looking at hunting deer in the Six Day firearm and the Permit Shotgun seasons in the NE corner of the state. I was interested mostly in hunting Bear Swamp WMA or Stokes SF in Zone 1. Over at the NJ Hunter Forums I am reading a lot of conflicting posts - split evenly between the zone being hunted out and excellent deer ground. So I don't really know what to think. I haven't been able to get up there yet to see for myself. I was wondering if anyone here has any recent experience in any of these zones that can help me - or suggestions for better zones in the NE area. Thanks, Dan
  11. This one can go either way. They could try and link it to what happened a the Navy Yard, counting on the low-information types to eat it up without thinking. Or they might recognize that as a gang-related event, this kind of proves the pro 2A point. It will be interesting to see which way it goes, its still early yet. We do know which way Piers Morgan will go.
  12. Not yet it isn't. I'll wait for official word from the Regime. We can't have the image of a successful terror attack in the very heart of the Republic with an election year looming.
  13. I completed the shotgun course at Black River today. Top notch people are running this program, thanks to all of the volunteers!!!!
  14. This was my initial thought as well when the story broke. Why would an innocent man run to the communists? However, I realized that the real traitors are the people running the show in this country. Anything our enemies can get from the computers that Snowden took with him pale in comparison to the utter treason that has been perpetrated by our own government over the past 20 years in restructuring our economy to become China's market. They've sold out the country with their borrowing & spending. The treason started back in the 90s when Clinton approved transferring to the ChiComs all kinds of highly sensitive missile technology. Whatever technical "treason" that Snowden may have committed, it is nothing compared to what the Executive level of this country has done to us. I fully subscribe to Mark Twain's adage: Loyalty to the Country always. Loyalty to the government when it deserves it. Do you think it has deserved it lately?
  15. Hero. I don't really care about the tactical nuances involved here concerning the fact that there needs to be some level of surveillance. These types of arguments become so jargonized with the final comment being something like: "I know security issues, you don't. Shut up and thank me for protecting you." The core facts here are these: 1) Every country has enemies. Most of the time these enemies are proximal, they are enemies because they are close to each other geographically and are competing over borders or resources in their vicinity. We have enemies because we are on top of the food chain and let everyone know it. When you get involved in other people's business, rightly or wrongly, eventually it is going to come back on you. I am NOT saying that we got what we deserved, I'm saying that the gov't using the war on terror as an excuse to totally obliterate the 4th amendment and all pretense to privacy in an effort to supposedly combat an evil that THEY created/exacerbated/poked in the eye is bullsh*t. 2) Snowden's actions laid bare, officially, for everyone exactly what the gov't is doing to us, for all of us idiots who are foolish and naive to think that the gov't should abide by the constitution. Eleven years is way too long for a Republic to fight a war. What the gov't is doing is not representative of a constitutional republic. So, while we all knew what the NSA was doing, we could choose to ignore it. Now we cannot, and for that he is indeed a Hero. So, let's make a choice - Surveillance State where are are all protected, or what the Founders intended where we take some degree of risk in walking out the door every morning.
  16. Are there standing recommendations by the DHS concerning municipal and county fairs? Or was the DHS specifically consulting on the security for the Bloomsburg Fair? Either way, I guess it is way past time to be scared of the growing scope of Federal "concern" when they are actually paying people to analyze fairground security best practices.
  17. Turned 40 last year. I didn't put two-and-two together until this post . . . since then I've sold two polymer rifles and bought four long guns, all wood furniture, including a lever gun and a bolt action. Dang, I turned into a FUDD and I didn't even know it.
  18. Thank you for the input!! So, 20 ga is good enough for deer? I was on the fence about this too.This would be a gun I might like to eventually pass down to one of my kids, so that is a consideration as well.
  19. Hi guys, I am in the market for a slug gun for use this deer season (hopefully), and would like some opinions. Right now I am down to deciding between these two, which are where my budget is at: Mossberg 500 Slugster: http://www.mossberg.com/product/shotguns-pump-action-500-slugster/52273?u_field_prod_sight_type=Integral+Scope-Base+Cantilever@220&nodeRef=2330,2331,2333,2335,2336&redirect=1&filterNodes=2333,2335 H&R Ultra Slug Hunter Deluxe: http://www.galleryofguns.com/genie/default.aspx?item=sb2-988 I was just wondering if there are any pros/cons that I haven't yet considered in using a single-shot for hunting and would appreciate some input from veteran hunters. Thanks, Dan
  20. I live in Essex Country just outside of Newark. I like to think that I have the Prepper Mindset, and after reading "One Second After" by William Forstchen and the Rawles books that I began putting together some better than average preps. Those books even pushed me to get into firearms. However, after seeing how quickly people broke down up here, even in the very mild after-effects of Sandy in this area I realized two things: 1) Preparation really only works if a critical mass of other folks in your area are also prepared, otherwise you become a severely outnumbered prey, thus making your preparations useless; 2) No one in the Newark area is prepared, or even has the mindset. In fact, I would argue that at the very least, 90% of people around here are in the Anti-Prepper camp -- living and organizing their lives under the expectation that Gov't will save them in any extremity, thus negating the need to be prepared. So, over the past year I have shifted my prepping focus away from acquiring stuff to contingency planning. I have become an entrenched pessimist and see no point in persisting in the fantasy that if anything worse than a hurricane happens that my family and I can ride out the inevitable social unrest here, in NE New Jersey. There are just way too many people here and in NYC to make this feasible. So my preps consist of outlining what can possibly happen and setting up plans for what to do, where to go and what to bring in the event it happens. Yes, I am a defeatist and my first instinct is now to flee at the first sign of serious trouble. The potential consequences of staying put and facing the hordes are too dire. Maybe south Jersey is different, as the massive urban centers of Philly/Camden will tend to spill their people west in the event and a catastrophe or social breakdown. That same westward movement out of the cities up here puts all of northern NJ in the crosshairs and building up a substantial cache of supplies will weigh you down and only become a feast for others. So, short and medium term, we're ready. Long-term, Big Event stuff, we're flexible.
  21. Yeah, all of us uninformed dolts out here in the public, I think we should just shut up already and take it. After all, we're not the explosive experts in the gov't so our opinions carry no weight. I see NO PROBLEM AT ALL with standing up an entire army of Valets across the nation to rifle through our personal vehicles, as long as they leave that nice note afterwards, and maybe a mint or something. In fact, why not just expand the program to all transportation hubs -- why just at airports? And while we're at it, why not every building or major intersection as well? Aren't they all soft targets? The important thing is that every Citizen be watched as much as digitally possible, in our cars, out of our cars, on the computer, on the phone, wherever. The State is totally trustworthy. Sarcasm.
  22. M&P 15 M&P 9 But I would REALLY miss my Marlin 336. Seeing how we are on SHTF, I'd like to ask if anyone here has any experience with anti-coagulants? I have been looking to add one to my medical preps and have researched the Quik-Clot and CELOX brands. does anyone here have an opinion on either of these? Having one could be critical, but it seems like the short shelf-life is prohibitive when factoring in the cost of the better CELOX trauma packs.
  23. With his uber-sensitivity on the roads, and future inability to own or carry a gun, this guy belongs in Jersey. Maybe that is one benefit of living with 10 million other oblivious assh**es in a state the size of a shoebox. One, GENERALLY, tends to get thicker skin for these kinds of perceived slights. If I was so inclined, I could get in a fight every single day. There's just too many idiots out there to waste your time on only one -- I guess that is the core of maturity - laziness. I'm too tired to care about teaching some punk a lesson.
  24. So there's two threads in one here, and my thoroughly diluted two cents . . . On joining a militia: only if it was legally organized, Constitutionally-minded and/or raised in the wake of some national crisis, not like some of those nutbags out West in the 90s. On Nativity: I was born and raised here. That makes me a native American. I claim NO connection or loyalties whatsoever to the countries and empires my ancestors escaped. I am a native American whose distant ancestors came from northern Europe. The Indians are/were native Americans whose distant ancestors came from various parts of Asia. In my book, that makes us both nothing more than just plain old Americans today. The "distant ancestors" part of the descriptions can be canceled out. If they want to deny that, or create some artificial differentiation, I understand the motivation, but it doesn't make them any more native than I. So I find these naming conventions absurd.
  25. I guess that goes back to your other comment about being a "good" sales person, or good anything. Maybe it is mostly the type of individual that maters most and not necessarily the pedigree -- though I don't know too many engineers or industrial chemists making near the median US income. Academics, that's a different story. In my company, engineers are starting at $70k-$75k, and that is for the H1-B folks from India who are "cheaper". My friends who went into chemistry back it the early 90s started at $50k. Then again, I also know a brilliant polymer scientist with PhD that is only in the $70ks. He could probably set up his own company or go anywhere and command any price -- but he's content where he is. If even minimally driven enough, certain degrees/trades/skills will open more doors, quicker in the early stages of a career. Long run, that depends upon the person.
