WFMZ Allentown keeps dropping the snow estimate. And the storm (lack of) center is moving off rapidly.

Nothing at all in southern Sussex until about 8:45. Started a dusting and at 9:30 it's barely covered the pavement.

Just this past hour I dropped off and picked up library books for Mrs. 45Doll. Hope springs eternal!

Yes, that's certainly true and I should have mentioned it. Applications last year in NJ were up over 400%. So you add a huge abnormal volume to an already lethargic system further hampered by virus restrictions and you get even larger delays.

Because in New Jersey adhering to the permit laws, and especially the 'shall be issued within 30 days' section, is at the discretion of law enforcement. The NJ Supreme Court said it was so. If they want to they can take their own sweet time. Some do, and some don't. If you came from PA, I can't believe you didn't know this before you moved. I'm going the other way. And most firearm people I meet in PA go WHAT? when I tell them my other state is New Jersey. Then they tell me the horror stories from their NJ relatives or friends.

So what's at the end of that dangerous road? New Mexico—A cool March morning, 2022, San Juan County Sheriff Shane Ferrari stood at the head of his deputies and armed local citizens, as they protected the home of Joe Q. Citizen from an unconstitutional raid designed to confiscate Citizen’s guns. “This is an unconstitutional gun-grab measure,” Ferrari said (to a reporter covering the confrontation) regarding the state law backed up by presidential executive order, supposedly authorizing such a raid—a law signed back in 2019 by then-Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, and order signed by President Joe Biden before he was unceremoniously removed by the Democrat Party, in favor of Harris. Just as he finished talking, the lead ATF agent stepped forward and spoke into a bullhorn, “Sheriff Ferrari! You and your men are in violation of federal and state laws. By order of President Kamala Harris, You are hereby ordered to drop your weapons and surrender to federal and state authorities immediately.”

Too bad lobsters don't have rifles.

You left out getting stuck in a BLM highway closure. BTW, where the hell to they think all the electricity is going to come from to CHARGE the batteries? Answer: they don't care about that either. 'Climate change emergency' is another ploy to get control of all the parts of your life they don't already run.

Progressives aren't worried about any of that. They believe in The Battery Fairy.

Well now we know how national gun sales fared in January. It was an all time record. And more here.

@Mr.Stu I have Warf's cell number if you need it.

And just like that the Pool Boy is eclipsed.

We've got a foot + drifting as of noon today in lower Sussex County. I took the first pass on the apron and driveway and by the time I finished at least another inch had dropped. But it was the right thing to do. One time I waited until the snow was done, so the total was higher than the auger mouth. Big problem. Today wasn't that bad at all. Only got it back in face about five times with a real wind gust. Otherwise just a slight breeze. Slow and steady got it done.

Now WFMZ Allentown is forecasting a 'box' of 20"+ over northern Hunterdon, Warren, and southern Sussex county. Oh joy. I'm still trying to figure out their new weatherman. I miss Christina.

Yeah I just saw the equivalent update on WFMZ-2 out of Allentown. Now their forecast for Sussex County is 10-16". More later.

Beer check.

"You are free to speculate. I couldn't possibly comment." Francis Urquhart, House of Cards I'm not interested in legal gymnastics. I just want to occasionally buy handguns. And that's the way it works.

The 'Date Of Transfer' on the handgun permit is the only thing that matters in the 30 day calculation. When money changes hands is irrelevant.

FYI. My post in another thread re. Robinhood Customer Agreement.

If Progressives wrote the 2nd Amendment:

Don't worry fellas. Janet Yellen will see everything's made right. Oh... and while we're at it let's listen to the laments of a 'bullshit' hedge fund billionaire. And let's not overlook Gabe Plotkin (Melvin Capital) and the merry adventures of Robin Hood.

And here's one more, written in English. Reddit trolls beat the market. And the elites are really, really mad! And check this Twitter thread too. It's from yesterday afternoon. Here's one tweet:

I'm not in this game but it makes interesting reading. TD Ameritrade restricts GME, AMC. "Expect many more exchanges to follow suit, because hedge funds clearly need to be protected when faced with the retail day trading mob." And also here. How WallStreetBets upset Wall Street.

I just checked ammo seek for new brass case 9mm, and pricing started at .65 and about 12 vendors were still under .80/round. Then I searched on .38 S&W, went to select grain weight, and saw something I've never seen before on ammo seek: NONE IN STOCK! Ammo seek couldn't find any .38 S&W at any price. Wow! .38 Special started at $1.56! As every month goes by, I continue to look smarter. I'm somewhere close to genius at this point!

And here's the view from Hornady. Reportedly components are now becoming scarce, including explosive rated cardboard for shipping.
