  1. We DID have one company that provided full service in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. But, they went out of business last year. The TV report is out of Dayton Ohio.
  2. Doesn't this all stem from some clueless bureaucrat confusing slungshot and slingshot back in the 1960's? Because as of 1963 Slingshots were not mentioned, but slung shots were... http://lawlibrary.rutgers.edu/cgi-bin/diglib.cgi?page=0878&collect=njleg&file=187&zoom=90
  3. During Sandy.... Did any of the gas station owners have their own generator? Where they able to borrow a generator? Were there any cases of someone lending a heavy duty generator to a gas station? Have any gas stations bought a generator since Sandy? .
  4. Tell them you can already pick up any type of gun, in any amount with no permits or permission on any street corner in Newark, Camden, Paterson or ________ (insert major city here).
  5. Why Switchblades Are Banned A rather lengthy but informative article about switchblades and what prompted the "Federal Switchblade Knife Act" to pass in 1958. The article covers the history of the switchblade, how it played it's part during World War II, the legalities, the ban and the situation today. http://indefinitelywild.gizmodo.com/why-switchblades-are-banned-1704050416 "Second Amendment enthusiasts are adding a new front to their right-to-bear-arms battle: Knives. In particular, the infamous switchblade, which has been banned by federal law since 1958. Why all the fuss? Well, it all dates back to racism, xenophobia, class warfare, and political theater."
  6. Our gas prices are much more expensive here in KY, and nearby Ohio and Indiana than in NJ. It could be $2.00 in NJ, it will be $2.39 and $2.49 here in the Midwest.
  7. Why N.J. could soon be only state without self-serve gas Saw this on Facebook by a friend from NJ..... http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2015/05/why_nj_could_soon_be_only_state_without_self-serve_gas.html#incart_most-read_weather_article "A proposed law moving through the Oregon state legislature could leave New Jersey as the only state where motorists aren't allowed to pump their own gasoline statewide. The Oregon House passed a bill that would allow drivers in more than half of the state's counties to fuel their vehicles without waiting for an attendant, OregonLive.com reported. There's a push for the change because motorists driving through rural parts of Oregon have often slept in their cars because no gas stations were open late at night. Stations have said they can't afford to stay open because they get so little business during those hours. Oregon has been a full service state since 1951, when lawmakers decided only "trained station workers" could put flammable liquid into vehicles, the website said. New Jersey gas stations have been full-serve since 1949 for the same reason — safety. A 2012 poll indicated 63 percent of New Jerseyans don't want to to pump gas themselves."
  8. This kind of reminds me when some politician from NY said that if you are buying a lot of nails you should get reported to the police. " Anyone seeing anyone buying components, any type of BBs or ball bearings -- a large amount of nails, even -- report that to police," http://cnsnews.com/news/article/rep-pete-king-merchants-selling-ball-bearings-beauty-products-should-notify-police
  9. This is yet another example that illustrates the need that politicians be required to have mental health background checks before and after taking office.
  10. The only laws regarding storing firearms I am aware of. Some counties in New York State require that if permit holders more handguns than a certain amount (some arbitrary number), the authorities can demand to see a safe before they allow any more handguns on their permit. The other one is "Felon in Possession of a Firearm" laws and concerns about proximity to firearms and ammo even if they are locked in a safe. One forum says it is OK to do this, another forum says it is still illegal. Some state laws might require locking up of firearms when not in use. Some areas might require an FFL to have safe.
  11. It saves money on shipping if seller and buyer live close to each other but in separate states. While of course there is the FFL fee, there is no additional shipping fee. Most of us are aware of this, it might be news and useful to someone running across this info the first time.
  12. Multiple Sales Reporting For Certain Rifles Reporting (Public domain information from a government site) https://www.atf.gov/publications/factsheets/factsheet-multiple-sales-reporting.html The Gun Control Act (GCA) of 1968 requires federal firearms licensees (FFLs) to report multiple sales of handguns to the same purchaser [18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(3)]. The sale of two or more handguns must be reported if they occur at the same time, or within five business days of each other. In August 2011, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) was authorized by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to initiate similar reporting requirements on the multiple sales related to certain rifles for a period of three years. Multiple Sales For Certain Rifles requires all federal firearms licensees in Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas to submit reports of multiple sales or other dispositions to an unlicensed individual of two or more rifles within five consecutive business days having the following characteristics: (1) semiautomatic; (2) a caliber greater than .22 (including .223/5.56 mm); and (3) the ability to accept detachable magazines. ATF has long used multiple sales information to detect, investigate, and prevent firearms trafficking. ATF views the recovery of one or more firearms used in crimes that were part of a multiple purchase as an indicator of firearms trafficking, particularly if one of the firearms was recovered a short time after the multiple sale occurred (known as a short time–to–crime). For more information about ATF go to www.atf.gov.
  13. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/922 (a) It shall be unlawful— (3) for any person, other than a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector to transport into or receive in the State where he resides (or if the person is a corporation or other business entity, the State where it maintains a place of business) any firearm purchased or otherwise obtained by such person outside that State, except that this paragraph (A) shall not preclude any person who lawfully acquires a firearm by bequest or intestate succession in a State other than his State of residence from transporting the firearm into or receiving it in that State, if it is lawful for such person to purchase or possess such firearm in that State, (B) shall not apply to the transportation or receipt of a firearm obtained in conformity with subsection (b)(3) of this section, and © shall not apply to the transportation of any firearm acquired in any State prior to the effective date of this chapter;
  14. Rhode Island is may issue state and if you meet their license requirements you have a 50 % chance of getting a carry permit. But, at least you have a better chance getting a carry permit in RI than in NJ. http://www.usacarry.com/rhode_island_concealed_carry_permit_information.html And then Rhode Island has a 7 day waiting period for long guns and pistols. http://www.golocalprov.com/news/rhode-island-ranked-9th-worst-state-for-gun-owners Good Luck
  15. What happens for inheritances? The State Police holds them for safe keeping until the will is read?
  16. You can buy property cheap here in Kentucky, I'm near Cincinnati so you could also check out jobs there. Property taxes are 1/10 of what they are in NJ. Being a tri-state area here, Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio. You can live in either of the three states and almost have the same gun rights, open carry, concealed carry, all NFA allowed, no permits needed except for concealed carry. Really, nothing much happens here. Ain't much going on, but that could be a good thing too.
  17. Sorry for your loss......Why not PA? Or Delaware?
  18. Unique Historic Color Video Shows Berlin in July 1945 From the ground and from the air, here is rare historic color film of Berlin shot two months after it fell in 1945. Some of this footage has never been seen before, it runs about 7 minutes. http://rt.com/news/255613-berlin-ww2-aftermath-video/ "The footage, some of which had never previously been published, has an almost apocalyptic feel, as the residents of Berlin walk around the streets, despite the debris everywhere to be seen. Trams are already running through Alexanderplatz as a mix of soldiers and civilians try to get from A to B. Towards the end of the video, aerial footage shows the sheer destruction of the Unter den Linden Boulevard, leading away from the Brandenburg Gate. Buildings and blocks of flats were razed, while rubble and burnt out cars littered the surrounding area."
  19. Suppose a wife seeks mental help because they are stressed out and scared that their spouse has beat them and threatened them again. Because she is stressed out and scared, should she be disarmed? Should she be forbidden from owning any weapons for 30 days? Should she be put on some state database "watch list"? Should she have her firearms, permits, licenses and whatever turned into the state under some bogus "Public safety, health and welfare" bullshit excuse? How would she protect herself if she got disarmed because she sought professional help and some 'agency' arbitrarily decides she needs to be disarmed ? Given the political climate, could it come to this? Would that piece of paper from the court protect her? Hell No
  20. Politicians and those running for office all need to to have periodic criminal and mental health checks themselves. Several of them are clearly already a "little off", some of them have delusions of grandeur who think that they are superior and the their subjects must bow down to them. Some of these "little off" politicians are hell bent on raising even more taxes and using that extra money to oppress the people even more. Clearly these politicians might jeopardize Public Health, Safety and Welfare" with their grandiose schemes. You can easily tell these politicians who are "a little off". They believe that a village can only raise children, they believe that big government and oppressive laws can solve social problems, they believe that their "superior intellect" makes them suitable to rule over the people with an iron fist. These politicians with delusions of grandeur believe that their political party can best serve the people better than anyone other party can and because they ruled NJ for decades, they have the "right" to remain in power for another 50 or 100 years. These are indicators that politicians might be "all little off" and they all need to have extensive mental and criminal background checks. If they require people who want to exercise their 2A constitutional rights to undergo mental and criminal background checks. Then it is only fair that those in office, or seeking office, or even just running for dog catcher to require extensive and periodic mental and criminal background checks. After all, these people with positions of power affect so many people. They need to be held to a much higher standard.
  21. Where was the NRA when the Firearms Purchasers ID card law was passed in 1966? Where was the NRA when Black powder and BB guns were classified as an firearm? Where was the NRA when antique firearms were classified as regular firearms/ Where was the NRA when the NJ "assault weapons ban" was passed? Where was the NRA when the magazine limit went to 15 rounds? Where was the NRA when the Graves amendment was passed? What did the NRA do to stop NJ from prohibiting direct shipment from the CMP? Where is the NRA when out of state people get jammed up in NJ? Specifically how has the NRA helped NJ gun owners ? How is the NRA assisting in getting shall issue conceal carry passed in NJ?
  22. I thought there was some proposal for "reasonable deviations" in exchange for 10 round mag limit?
  23. It would seem that NJ Liberal politicians idea of "reasonable gun control laws" would be similar to those of North Korea's.
