2 hours ago, Old Glock guy said:I believe the conventional answer (which admittedly I have not researched) is that Californians, sick of the far left policies in their home state, moved en masse to Colorado, and ruined that state by bringing their same awful politics with them.
Same in Washington State, mass migration of Californians in the 80s had the initial effect of driving up real estate prices, and eventually flipped the state from redish to blue.

My phone died last year when I was OCONUS. only backup was an old Fire tablet, and almost every account wants to 2F to my phone or authenticator. And I was using eSIM. Very difficult to get even minimal capability. But I will NEVER use eSIM for my primary number again!

Or you could go to login page with Firefox and select "forgot password"
It should send a rest link to email or SMS
I use KeePass, and I don't store that password electronically, only handwritten

Metric assloads of people traveled down here to view it, and I think they will be disappointed.
Oh I think this is gonna be worse than Y2K, and many of us remember what an apocalypse that was

As for being judged by 12, it's going to cost you in this state.

2 hours ago, High Exposure said:I agree with your assessment. Without a lot of training, pistol lasers just aren’t worth it.
If the laser is mounted at 6 o'clock to the barrel and you can see the laser dot above your sights at some distance, you have a converging zero at whatever distance your laser dot, sights, and bullet impact meet. As you increase that distance the laser dot will rise higher above your front sight. As you decrease that distance, the laser dot will fall under your barrel.
For parallel, imagine a second laser replacing your sighting system. From your muzzle to infinity, the distance between those two beams will never change.
Unfortunately most people don't think like that (present company excluded). People just think high tech, lasers,= better. I'll bet in if you ask most people with, say, grip lasers, how they calibrate or sight them in, your just going to get a blank stare. They just assume the bullet is going to follow the dot

It's also a pretty fast acquisition system in the heat of the moment. My lasers are green and red dots are red.I can't tell the difference between the red and green optics, and it's hard to find in blue.

I honestly would have no problems paying even higher gas tax under the following conditions:
1. All gas tax and MV fees are used only for roads, bridges, etc (repair, maintenance, new construction).
2. Eliminate all tolls (there would be savings by not having to pay for salaries and equipment maintenance for toll collection). So you pay more gas tax (as a use tax) and no more tolls
3. Fix the astronomical per mile cost of NJ road construction and maintenance
Unfortunately our government is incapable of doing this

They're working on taxing EVs as well:
-
Didn't NJ have one of the lowest gas taxes before Christie?
And don't try to escape by using an EV, that's slated for $250 / year tax too.
Maybe they should charge an annual gas tax on people who move out of state as well!

1 hour ago, 45Doll said:You don't have to go to the islands or Mexico to have occasional random shootings. Why, just last night...
Agree! But at least in US you know what to expect from the legal system, medical care etc. You really do not want to end up in a Mexican hospital or jail.
But this Warren county story is crazy! Never let an "acquaintance” in your home!

Yeah, it gets a little worse every year, but not as bad as Tulum. I think Tulum has been completely ruined. Situational awareness is important, and most problems occur when people go looking for drugs or other stuff. We used to go almost anywhere in the city, local neighborhoods, day or night. Now we mostly stay in hotel zone or go with our local friends. This last trip we went into town to go to Market 23. Used to be really great and friendly to tourists, now not so friendly (but still much cheaper tchotchke). And there are occasional random shootings-typically the cartels taking care of independent entrepreneurs who encroach on their sales, but sometimes there is collateral damage.
I just feel bad for our friends who live there, grew up there, and they can't just go somewhere else.

4 hours ago, Mr.Stu said:Only if you are a carry permit holder do you have a duty to inform even if only transporting. If you don't have a carry permit, the old rules apply and there is no duty to inform. You should answer honestly if asked if there are guns in the vehicle, however.
Okay that clears it up. Honest answers of course, but no duty to volunteer the info if you don't have PTC.
4 hours ago, DirtyDigz said:Yes.
If you have a valid PTC and are arrested/detained with handguns in your vehicle you must disclose them to the police officer even if you're not carrying them on your body.Got it, any traffic stop, but only if you have PTC.
Thanks!

On 2/11/2024 at 9:47 AM, maintenanceguy said:I will probably not disclose unless it's a situation where disclosure is required. Concealed means concealed and why created problems?
The rule is you must disclose if you are stopped or detained.
2C:58-4.4
b. The holder of a permit to carry a handgun issued pursuant to N.J.S.2C:58-4, if stopped or detained by a law enforcement officer while carrying a handgun in public or traveling with a handgun in a motor vehicle, shall:
(1) immediately disclose to the law enforcement officer that they are carrying a handgun or that a handgun is stored in the vehicle; and
(2) display the permit to carry a handgun issued pursuant to N.J.S.2C:58-4.
A violation of paragraph (1) of this section shall be a crime of the fourth degree. A person who violates paragraph (2) of this subsection shall be guilty of a disorderly persons offense for a first offense and subject to a $100 fine and a crime of the fourth degree for a second or subsequent offense.
c. A holder of a permit to carry a handgun issued pursuant to N.J.S.2C:58-4 who is carrying a handgun in public and is detained by a law enforcement officer as part of a criminal investigation shall provide the handgun to the law enforcement officer upon request for purposes of inspecting the handgun. The provisions of this subsection shall not be construed to affect or otherwise limit the authority of a law enforcement officer to conduct a lawful search or seizure.
A violation of this subsection shall be a crime of the fourth degree.
So does this mean duty to inform if you are merely transporting IAW statute (i.e. unloaded, in a closed and fastened box, securely tied package, or in the trunk etc.) and you don't have CCW?

21 minutes ago, 45Doll said:Well, their friends and relatives are all heading north to collect the freebees from the Biden Piñata. So they're the suckers left to work for a living. That might give them a different perspective.
I think most of the border traffic is not Mexican, but coming from South and Central America, China, etc.
Tbh, I think those resentful people are not native to that area.

1 hour ago, 124gr9mm said:IMO you should be looking at places in Florida (maybe the Keys), the Carolinas, or even Hawaii.
The 'service' culture that used to be present on most of the Caribbean islands has eroded significantly over the last dozen years or so.
There's an arrogance and indignant attitude that's replaced the friendly smiles in the shithole countries. They all have cellphones, so they see the difference between the squalor the live in and the the non-squalor we come from.
I'll go to the 3rd world on mission trips but I won't vacation there...
Interesting, we were in Cancun recently and I noticed a change in attitude, like people are resentful. A small minority-most people were friendly and service oriented as usual-but enough to notice a difference. We've been going there almost every year since the 90s. I thought we'd eventually stop going due to increasing cartel action (like Acapulco), but Cancun is not that bad yet. Maybe this will keep us from going back soon.

We need NICS check to buy ammo in NJ now? Does it apply to online sales?

Thank you for this list!
Anthony Miranda, and William Kirk have been on my short list for awhile
Especially with WK based in my home state, now known as the Communist "paradise" of Washington.
But this gives me several more to check out

On 4/26/2023 at 6:12 PM, father-of-three said:I know it's probably just the way it is written, but the article makes a it sound like the governor had no idea until recently, that firearms, even in justifiable circumstances, can actually kill people.
We know that a rifle like an AR can save lives and even the odds when one is attacked by multiple bad guys, but sadly, guys like this governor, who I'm sure has his own armed security, will never accept that.

I've almost always asked for ID when I forget my key and ask for a new one, maybe I come across as suspicious?
Almost always there is a physical block on the door too-the thing you rotate 90 degrees and it blocks the door from opening? They can be defeated, but usually will create a ruckus and give some time and warning to respond.

We're looking at TN. Although real estate has also increased there too, as well as number of people moving there. Constitutional carry and arming teachers seems like very strong 2A. protection
