5 minutes ago, Grima Squeakersen said:That political skew is good as long as it lasts. I know about the real estate increase. I had been considering FL as a potential long-term alternative if I completely give up on NJ. Now I'm leaning more toward SC. I know some folks with places on the coast a bit away from the elite areas, and they like it very much. And real estate in those places seems to be holding reasonable prices, at least compared to FL.
Fun fact. Registered R's currently outnumber the D's by almost a million in FL. Considering R's surpassed D's only a few yrs ago I'd say that's a huge swing and this state is gtg for a while. Just not with realestate....

Sort of. Mass migration to FL the past few yrs has almost doubled real estate for sure. But it also heavily favored the Republican registration machine so much that for the first time 2 yrs ago the registered R's passed the D's and the margin keeps growing. Btw the state legislature- gov, house, senate are all owned by the R's roughly 2-1, the opposite of NJ.

Well CO was the first state to legalize recreational weed. Coincidence?

Found a nice Buck 110 in its case 40+ yrs ago on the sidewalk in front of my apt. It, and a Swiss Army knife a long ago gf gave me share a space in every family vehicle I've owned since then.

Thanx. I really really miss that place.

I went thru a short phase of a laser on a few handguns. In the end decided to opt out. I had difficulty seeing the dot and for self defense, wasn't for me. Realized I was spending(wasting) too much time finding the dot vs focusing on the target/situation. Precious moments in a volatile situation. Aim and shoot- not aim,, look look shoot. Didn't bother with a zero as, to me, a targeted threat would be too close to make a difference altho they were sited in to impact an inch or two above the dot- parallel method? They were mounted front of trigger guard. Make more sense on a long gun to me.

Build it and they will come. Setting up a prepper show in a liberal haven like Boulder CO, of course that's who will show up. But the jokes on them albeit they're too dumb to get it. It's their own liberal govt causing them to arm/prep up against themselves, their own purposed damaging policies causing the unrest not the govs "inability" to protect. Like being prepared is such a novel idea! The Boy Scouts been saying that for a hundred yrs lol. Yes I was one and credit one of the leaders for instilling that idea in me. In hindsight he must have been a old school prepper as he would suggest a few off the beaten path lessons. Know where your next meal is coming from, where your shelter is/will be, always have access to basic tools, know your surroundings....words of basic common sense that I think helped me get a early start of understanding "be prepared".

Hmm, somethings wrong there in NJ. I only pay $8.50 a yr for a 7 yr ccw in FL. Maybe a mis-print?

CR was my second wife till I moved out of NJ. Just an FYI if you didn't know, the 200/300 range splits the day between the distances. At least used to maybe changed idk.

It was but it's standard build spec.

Had the same issue on my NJ neutered S&W. Moved to FL and was a bit surprised to find the blank tube. No biggy my son had a spare. If I thought about it, still am, a folding stock may find its way here too.

33 minutes ago, bennj said:Meh, after what has happened in GA with the last few elections, and Kemp as governor, my bet is Willis goes scot free.
Yup. Kemp is no ally to Trump. Think- the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Besides there is no more accountability anymore. If you're part of the "republican" anti Trump contingent, and there is a lot, you don't want to start a domino effect of failed attempts to take him down. The kangaroo case will go on even if something goes south for Willis & Co.

Road rage shootings, haven't heard of any. But then I don't watch muchi local news, the girls in my life tend to monitor the social media gossip and never told me of one but do hear a lot of car related deaths mostly pedestrian. I don't think it's better or worse than any other legally armed society.

File a complaint about the states Supremes with Hawaii's Commission of Judicial Conduct. There it will be scrutinized by members appointed by the Supremes themselves. Easy peezy.

So should be soon that NJ returns that favor right?
Hahaha!

Be careful. Vinyl siding can crack when it's cold. Other than that, and accessibility, it's not hard. Also depending on color/age/sun exposure of installed siding the new siding may look like a dif color. Just things to be aware of but definitely check out vids.

8 hours ago, xXxplosive said:Is there any restriction on carrying a firearm in NJ during a declaired state of emergency..........
If there isn't, there will be. Declare a SOE= Constitution goes out the window. The tyrants(not just NJ) did a practice run with covid and got away with some shady declarations.

This explains a lot. The rats fleeing a sinking ship covering their own asses.
Anthony Colandro for Executive VP of the NRA. I'd vote for him.
Will be interesting to see if Anthony decides to address any, all or none in his podcast. I dont think he's part of the upper NRA elite but should offer some kind of take on it imo.

22 hours ago, Mr.Stu said:For what it's worth (not much legally speaking) the new Winchester offering would not be permissible under NJ's ban on hollowpoints.
The definition does not specifically say a single cavity, and it looks like the Winchester round has 6 cavities. Also, the plug does not reach all the way to the nose of the bullet, so I think it fails there too.
I would agree with this. Don't count on NJ giving any benefit of doubt.

55 minutes ago, father-of-three said:Will the Supreme Court have the opportunity to slap this down too?
Wow... a law from 1328 that wasn't even a law here, but they did a good Cherry picking job to spin it that way.
That too lol, but there was more focus on a obscure 1791 statute from North Carolina? that just ended up not being a real thing but it also just reinforces their desperation.

I'd like to see a more specific breakdown of initial FPID cards vs permits to purchase. Those stats sometimes get lumped together. A huge surge in initial apps would be real news.

I've cut back drastically past few yrs to maybe one a month or so from 2-3 per week. Stock a few basics- R&J, Rocky P, Macanudo. However still need the quick fix and took up cheroots, think Backwoods (which are garbage). I like Roughnecks or Ole Shenandoah, better quality but still a bit gritty, think Clint Eastwood lol. 10-15 mins afew times a day and all is good. And nothing flavored, yuk.
