  1. Cheers to you taking in your mom, man. God bless.
  2. Always good debates about how wide your pellets get at what distance. There are some who say wider is better “you just need to nick the bird”, to “wider is not better if you are constantly off target the bird can sail between the wide spread.” i think the best advice I heard for wanting a tighter spread is that it will make you want to improve more. Yeah it’s adequate to chip birds. But VAPORIZING them is the shit. And you don’t vaporize then with a wide spread.
  3. Salt like my post post is salty? Or SALT ? i hope it works. I’m just trying to save people from thinking this is automatic. It’s not.
  4. He created a law that said a municipality can create a charity. Then that town if it wishes will apply credit to your property or school taxes if they wish. This does not automatically mean the IRS is okay with that charitable deduction. Ernst and Young is already out saying fat chance Uncle Sam will believe you got no services from said charity. File taxes at your own peril. The purpose of this post is to stop people from spreading fake news “Murphy says I can now deduct my property taxes as charity”
  5. That right there is the nightmare and why you can’t be careless about this. People I think will really want to test again even though you have a “certification” perhaos there is a way you can think of what the all in price of that demo work would be Then just hang onto that and when you go to sell the house you list the house and then after the buyer learns of the tank you say “I’m giving a $xxxx credit for the demo work
  6. I saw the email too late. Was anybody at North Jersey Trap Saturday for the CZ promotion? Just wondering what it was like? It said pistols would be there too but I’m sure just for handling.
  7. This brings up an interesting issue. So, anytime you sell a house you will be asked was there ever a tank. You will say yes it has been removed. You will provide the paperwork HOWEVER the new buyer may still want a soil sample or someone else to check it. Let’s jjist say that a test comes back bad. What do you as the seller do? You pray that you go back and get recourse from the company. What if they are gone? if we lived in a world where a piece of paper from the company and a sign off from the town was suffice for every buyer then I’d say do it ahead of time. But if there is a chance, just a chance that years later someone says “contrninsted soil” then you are screwed. I think maybe I would go to contract with a buyer. Tell them there is a tank and you will pay to have it removed. The tank gets removed you show the buyer the documents they say okay you get the hell out of dodge. Maybe I’m too conservative and buyers are like “yeah there was a tank but this piece of paper says we are good to go.” But I’d just be too worried all the time “did they really get it all?” if you do the removal at the time of sale the new buyers will much more confident it was done and you get to leave knowing the buyer said “it’s good”
  8. Just thinking about this more as I’m updating thoughts about my will. Honestly; unless your kin is really stoked to get a firearm, then don’t burden them with it. All this crap about kin not knowing what to do with firearms... it’s irresponsible of you to leave firearms to unready people. My will will give guns to someone I know is prepared to take them instead of my kin who is unprepared. You may value your firearms more than your car, but for people unprepared for firearms it’s stress, not money And with NJ laws you might get them in jail It’s shameful to read repeated posts “what do i do with my dead fathers guns?”
  9. Really kitten kaboodle or auto prompt?

    New pc carbine

    Can someone opine if we go more evil features laws in NJ will this rifle fall into scope? It is not a pistol grip. And if you go crown barrel that is not a brake issue. Would it just be a semi auto rifle with detachable mag? Would that never be an assault rifle?
  11. More: The state or will doesn’t need to specify every item. It can merely say “all possession go to BLANK” so if you don’t have state document that says “Possesuons go to...”. Then again you did NOT inherit them. You just have possession. But you did not inherit them. People. If your die without a will it’s a big middle finger to your family. Get a will.
  12. Biggest lie / misconception / fallacy around about ANY possession that was acquired by someone dying : ”there was no will. I inherited it” wthout a will in NJ the STATE handles Distribution of assets. If you took possession of an asset AFTER the state said you can have it, then you can say “I inherited it”. If there was no will and you took (stole, lifted at night, or “nobody knew about and but he always said he wanted me to have it”..). Just realize you took possession illegally just keep your mouth shut. Again: taking something from the deceassed without a will and BEFORE the state declares it yours does NOT equal “i inherited it”.
  13. Guys. The way the wording is now.... the registration applies not to magazines. It applies to “firearms”. Read it again. “For a firearm that holds more than ten” Is there a semi auto rifle that accepts more than 10 in the tube? That’s what they are addressing The registration is if you own a FIREARM that has a FIXED magazine that holds more than ten. In order for that firearm to be legal you must register it. See the difference? For general magazines it’s 10 rounds period. Don’t get excited about keeping mags. They are done. (As the way it’s worded)
  14. On Twitter actually. From a guy who is a lawyer so its not surpsing how crisp the replies were. These were all new ones for me: ”what about my right to live!” That is your right to protect your life from the State. It does not trump another persons individual rights. ”do you keep a militia in your house”. Actually yes, the legal definition of militia is any person over 17 not part of the national guard ”keep and bear arms has limitations, you can’t own a tank”. Keep and bear refers to firearms you can carry and present when needed. To bear Is to wear or present it.
  15. Hudson is very expensive...not even taking into account their plastic wad rule. And if i recall it’s not exactly like you can walk on anytime you want. I’ve shot their twice once for a charity event and once because i won a round there in an auction. Uber classy place but I’d take the Orvis spot upstate hands down every time for the “common” folk. (and watching them train dogs at Orvis On that field...man I can watch that all day)
  16. If I recall a while ago someone said Clifton was like 6 months. Just anecdotal though. Did you try search function for Clifton ?

    Bitcoin...

    WMC2 link complete contradicts Glennjesey link. The CFTC is going after ICOs because of unregistered investments in companies which violates securities laws. So ICOs won’t survive if they are illegal Just sayin.... Now for better news...hot off the presses from the St Louis Federal Reserve: This below to me is the most fair assement of what bitcoin is, and it’s the challenges it faces I do not see the word Ponzi scheme anywhere mentioned. https://research.stlouisfed.org/publications/review/2018/02/13/is-bitcoin-a-waste-of-resources/ And this quote goes on to show you how intelligent and fair the St Louis Fed examined the state of our own paper money “Modern fiat money is a bubble, as it has no explicit future payoffs, yet people value it in exchange. Currency issued by Federal Reserve Banks is not a promise to pay anything in the future. At best, one could take one $20 bill to the nearest Federal Reserve Bank and exchange it for four $5 bills. Unlike private bonds or government bonds, which promise a future payment or stream of payments, or a stock claim, which provides a future stream of dividends, fiat money has no intrinsic value. It is purely a bubble: We value it only because we expect other people to accept it in exchange in the future.” Yes im bullish on this new asset class but it faces all the challenges exactly described in the paper. Most significantly the scalability of transactions and the volatility it can have when there is no Federal Reseve to dampen volatility. But that prescription was what the patient created the germ for in the first place. This might be the best thing i will read all year. (Besides posts about 9mm 1911s) Cheers!
  18. Well 1. He already “has a file” they issued the FID. 2. If he got a P2P they would know the gun too. So the only “tactic” they are gaining is “did he actually buy a ling gun because we’d have no record” but i agree. Way beyond “just a follow up” investigation. We should all practice what our response would be if it happens to us. Thanks for posting OP.
  19. Good. Because that takes a lot off the table and now I can watch your dive down into the full size under a grand 9mm market. I just have one last wish list. I’m a sucker for the flat stainless in 1911.
  20. I will be in this same boat some day. Blksheep csn you refine your preference a little more like are you focusing on under a grand or over a grand? Also do you want full size or smaller? price point really determines the starring point I think. Like I am not gonna spend over $1200 on a HG.

    Bitcoin...

    Ahhh. I see our differences/confusion now. I don’t equate “demand” for bitcoin as a miner issue. To me demand for bitcoin is increase In utility for the asset. Either via people wanting to hold it like gold or via people wanting it to replace a currency. (Yes as a currency now it is a failure they are working on improving the scalability) over the next decade my bet is its utility skyrockets for a multitude of reasons. If it does, just by math it must go up in value (if indeed the utility goes up). So under my assumptions the economics of mining have zero impact on the price of bitcoin. all big leaps of faith. But I’m okay to wager on 100% down versus 1,000% up. show me any other investment that has an addressable market the scale of bitcoin with the payouts of 100% down and 1,000% up and I will invest in that too.

    Bitcoin...

    If everybody got as angry at Bitcoin media as they did about assault weapon media I suppose I’d be okay. But nobody cares about fake news or even lies about bitcoin. Bill gates comments yesterday I can kinda just eyeroll. But a NY Times reporter clearly has proven he spent really zero research caring to want to really know how things work: ”Bitcoin miners compete for the coins by submitting answers to difficult math problems. Instead of solving the problems, miners use computers to submit a flood of guesses. This can be lucrative: Each Bitcoin is currently valued at about $10,550.” instead of SOLVING the math problem!?!?! Shame shame on you.
  23. I love this Thunder Ranch guy.. maybe in another lifetime I'd get out there.. "I went to cowboy shooting competition and I pissed everybody off because I showed up at the line carry concealed.." "just because your slide locks back and your out of ammo don't stop pointing it at him.. he probably wont know its empty.."
  24. I just bought a 4 pack today. Because the 4 slice tastes wayyyyyy better than the 8 slice.
