On Memorial Day weekend, Kamala outdoes Obama’s self-centeredness - American Thinker
I for one have not forgotten why this is a 'long weekend'.
I'm cross posting this on the VP thread.
Compare to the previous VP's (Pence) tweets (from 2018)
https://mobile.twitter.com/vp45/status/1001102204969897986
"It is Memorial Day in America..the day when we remember those who served and did not come home. Their duty was to serve. Our duty is to remember. God bless our fallen heroes and their families. "

BTC @38k
Crash or correction?
I have thought about buying some BTC, or other crypto, but I'm lazy and also suffer from FOFOMO (fear of FOMO). If I feel a FOMO, it's already too late.
I wonder if Elon got out?

Downey said it also mandates that the legal owner of the firearm store the ammunition separately in a securely locked box or container."
My home is a securely locked container.
And I use trans-separate ammo-even though it appears to be loaded, the ammo identifies as being in a separate container.

11 hours ago, GRIZ said:Actual experience? Is that because I remember people driving DeSotos?
Even if he made it back to Newark, Hoboken, Jersey City or wherever his apartment was the police would still be looking for him.
Many here on this forum said, "they should have let Aitken go". Yeah, sure. Imagine the press with, "Police don't do anything with a person who has been reported suicidal".
Before I go further I'm a supporter of Constitutional Carry.
Many use Aitken's case as a story about someone being abused by the system. I see him as a whiny little boy that never thought of the consequences of his actions. He is far from a poster boy.
NJ firearms law sucks. But we have to live by it...until it's repealed. We are law abiding citizens.
No, I remember DeSotos and Studebaker's too, I just don't have the LE experience, I can only armchair it.
And Aitken was by no means perfect, but this imperfect case will set precedent that we are all subject to. And this is why it is important for everyone to, at minimum, read and try to understand the law and think about these "hypotheticals" and how you would like to respond, and think about what you do and what the consequence could be (likely and worst case).
If Aitken did this, he wouldn't have had a 15+ mag, he wouldn't make the suicidal comments, and he wouldn't consent to search (which probably would not have happened in the first place)

Yes absolutely biggest mistake was what he said to his mother.
And you definitely have more actual experience than me, but he probably could've made them think he would return to cherry hill, then just continue on to Newark.
There are a lot of other mistakes and/or things he says that don't necessarily add up.
-
I don't disagree, but if the HG charge was overturned because of the judge failing to inform about the moving exemption, wouldn't the HP charge be overturned for the same reasons, if it did indeed fall under the exemption?
Agree that it is very unlikely, just saying it is technically illegal.
And according to what Aitken says in his book, his biggest mistake was turning around and going back to Cherry Hill when he was half way back to his place in Newark. Police told him they would put out an APB and have him brought back (most likely a bluff), he bought it and came back. I don't think they could have legally forced him to come back, he would have been better off to continue to his apartment in Newark.

11 hours ago, GRIZ said:You are technically correct.
I'm still looking for a prosecution of someone transporting hollowpoints from one residence to a new one.
Wasn't this one of the charges with Aitken, and the only one but overturned on appeal? IIRC, the "transport HG" charge was overturned because appellate determined he was operating within one of the transport exceptions (between homes), HP charge stood because there was no such exception written in the law fire HP transport.
Not saying Aitken was a model citizen, or that his ignorance is an excuse. But I believe the HP charge stood up to appeal, when the same charges for HG was overturned ( and that one was not a technicality).

33 minutes ago, DirtyDigz said:Not a technicality!? He had high capacity magazines in his possession, end of story.
The only reason that charge didn't stick was the Prosecutor's handling of the evidence. AKA, a technicality.Ok it's a technicality. But If they don't prove guilt or it can't stand up to appeal, then you're innocent in the eyes of the law. This one couldn't stand up to appeal, likely because even the prosecutor didn't fully understand this law. You may still be guilty, but presumed innocent if not proven beyond reasonable doubt.
Besides, the law itself is premised on unconditional grounds.

10 minutes ago, njJoniGuy said:The ultimate takeaway from his case was that if you are moving from one residence to another and taking hollowpoints with you, you need to swing by a range between residences.
Only then do the exemptions and exceptions apply to hollowpoints.
Yep and crazy that it's so difficult to understand the plain meaning of the law. Hence my signature:
"It will be of little avail to the people, that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man, who knows what the law is to-day, can guess what it will be to-morrow. Law is defined to be a rule of action; but how can that be a rule, which is little known, and less fixed?"

He also had a transport charge for HG in car from one residence to other. That charge was also overturned, and that was not on technically. He was transporting the Bags legally.
And I wouldn't call the mag a technicality, prosecutor failed two prove "hold and continuously feed " and evidentially was dumb enough to destroy the evidence.
-
And remember Aitken-you can transport HG from on house to another, but not hollow points (only to/from range or gun store)

If you want a good insight into the ATF, read Mike Detty's "Guns across the border" or "Operation wide receiver". Based on the author account, if he hadn't kept great records and recorded every interaction with ATF, he probably would've ended up in jail (all while they're telling him he was cooperating and on their side to help fight illegal arms trafficking). And this was back in the Obama/Holder era.

Thanks, I'll get someone out to service the freon. At least it cools eventually, and it's not too hot yet, so I don't need service immediately.
The Mrs actually tried heat mode today and said that it got hot pretty quick.

Any HVAC experts or there?
I have a mini split in one room and noticed it is taking about 10+ minutes after turn on before the air is really cold. The air is cooler than room after a minute, but still in the 60s for awhile and eventually gets down to about 50.
Also, as it is getting colder, the air from the side closest to compressor is noticably cooler, but eventually everything gets cold.
Any ideas, could it just need "freon" recharge?
Thanks!

Yeah and them 3D printed guns from DD. Gang bangers are printing them up every day. Thankful that Grewall has protected NJ citizens from getting these. Except for those who use a vpn

My town has required notary in the past. Was easier to walk across street to Wells Fargo and get the form notarized than argue and get slow roll on my paperwork

2 hours ago, Old Glock guy said:Curious how other NJ residents are dealing with the sales tax issue in acquiring PM's?
Wait, what????
Comrade Murphy wants 7% up front, then he will want a CG cut when I sell? I guess I should have expected it in NJ.

36 minutes ago, oldguysrule649 said:Am already "invested" in copper, brass, and lead; but In the last few weeks I myself have become intrigued with the idea of purchasing some gold and silver as a starting hedge against some future SHTF financial situation. So I dove into the PM pool so to speak. For now, just putting my toe/foot into the water. My intent is to hold on to whatever I buy and keep it indefinitely and pass it down to our children. So my time horizon is infinite. Am in the process of purchasing several Credit Suisse and Valcambi 1oz gold bars (New with assay) and several Sunshine Mint 10oz silver bars(with Mintmark SI authentication). I am getting them from JM Bullion. They seem to be one of a number of well known reputable online dealers based on the research I did. (SD Bullion and APMEX were also on my list.). They only had stock of these items intermittently, so my purchases are spread across a number of separate orders, two of which have arrived so far. The remaining items should be arriving next week. Feels great to have physical possession of them. I anticipate adding to my inventory over time. I also plan to check out local coin shops, learn what they have to offer, and further educate myself.
One of the Youtube channels I subscribe to is City Prepping. He had an excellent video on precious metals from a SHTF prepping perspective. This link to it is:

Thanks. I'm in a similar position, but have not yet acquired any PM.

36 minutes ago, Sniper said:One reason, there are tons more paper sold than available physical. If many people decide they want their physical in hand, the funds wouldn't be able to deliver it all, as it doesn't exist. Just like lead/brass, if you don't hold it, you don't own it.
https://www.moneymetals.com/news/2017/05/16/paper-vs-physical-silver-market-001075
But doesn't the paper give you exposure to an asset that acts like the PM? At least until the apocalypse comes?

44 minutes ago, Bomber said:Personally, I prefer physical PM's to be in my possession. A case can be made for having it stored outside the banking system but I'm not familiar with the details.
Keep in mind a roll of 20 American Gold Eagles (almost $40,000) can fit in a front pocket.
I can understand that. I have the same feeling, but part of that is based on the apocalypse scenario, where a gold or silver ETF is but going to help you.
OTOH I would want to make sure my insurance is going to cover that roll of Eagles too.

1 hour ago, Bomber said:As a hedge against dollar devaluation and inflation.
Diversified stock portfolios, cryptos are fine as well but a percentage should be in physical PM's.
But why physical PM vs owning it through a holding company or fund that would but and store and maintain the metal for you. Can't you get the same exposure that route?
-
28 minutes ago, Bomber said:We're not going to barter trade or mad max scenarios.
What is certain is the dollar is losing value and could lose its reserve currency status one day. If that happens people are going get a painful lesson in the value of PM's verses fiat paper currencies.
Physical gold and silver holdings protect wealth in these situations.
Seems like a diversified portfolio of stock in companies with international exposure, REITs, maybe some foreign currency bonds, and maybe PMs (indirectly) and crypto would be a better strategy. Why would one own physical PM other than the MadMax option?

4 hours ago, Old Glock guy said:There are a lot of reasons to hold gold and sliver, these being among them. The problem with gold is that one ounce coins or bars contain so much value, that it would be hard to spend them as a barter medium in a case where the currency collapses. Many people advocate owning bags of 90% silver pre-1964 U.S. coins for the potential of using them for smaller purchases. The biggest problem with silver that I see is that after you start to accumulate a decent amount, it gets pretty damn heavy and nearly impossible to tote around.
Another huge problem I have discovered is that the State of NJ charges sales tax on precious metal purchases, so one would need to add nearly 7% to the cost of owning it, on top of the premium, or around an additional $100 on an ounce of gold. I believe this makes the cost prohibitive, unless you can have it shipped out of state somewhere, or held in the vault of a reliable seller.
Valcambi produces various sizes of what they call a combi-bar. 100*1g, 50*1, 20*1
Where you can snap off one gram at a time.

Sorry that was unclear, the 2018 tweet was from the previous VP (Pence), not a previous tweet from current VP. I doubt she has ever said or thought anything good about our fallen soldiers.
