It’s rough right now. Packed boxes all over and tripping all over them. Seeing decades of life going somewhere else. My home has been in my family for close to a century. I was born here. I grew up here. Used coal from the furnace for my snowmen. It broke my heart when my best friend died before his time. He was a hard working angel with a heart of gold. That put me over the edge. I want to live just a little longer than him. Still have a mission. We tried leaving this state twice before. Now everyone is gone. [emoji20] Lots of memories here.... I know I will be starting over. I’m not a drinker anymore and happy with an occasional beer. Wife is a wine person. Essentially, just want peace and quiet and I couldn’t even get that here with Rt 80 staring at my bedroom window about a half mile away. Before it was there, it was the Erie Lack Railroad. I love trains. Still do. Sunday’s were quiet but Jersey is getting like NYC where traffic never sleeps. I go out early on weekends to get breakfast or hit Home Depot before the mania starts. I’m on Rt 46 or 80 early where nobody is on the roads. BUT like clockwork, some jackass flies past me doing 80. I’m not overly religious but I do believe that the man upstairs got it right when he made Sunday, a day of rest. Just where the hell are you going that requires waking up a cop with radar that early. Wake up. Take your time. Relax.... You’ll live longer! As the move gets closer, I feel my heart ripping out. It hurts. I’ll miss a lot of people. My Leo buds from my dept. My neighbors that I do like and so on. On a better note, my wife will be closer to her dad for his final times on earth. I can learn to relax and perhaps start fishing after not for decades. Maybe buy another motorcycle. But my memories will be engrained forever in this small town. Thanks again folks. Appreciate it. [emoji20][emoji26] A little something from my garden for ya’ll.... I dedicated them to my grandma (passed long ago), my wife’s mom (also passed) and my current best friend and wife. All of which love(d) their gardens. Maybe some of those words can make a difference in your lives. [emoji17] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

"Leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again....." John Denver.... Actually, I will be driving for about 13 hours on our trek to leave this beautiful state. ...and no, I will not be returning again.... Tennessee, here we come. I'm posting this so whomever here think we should stay and fight and in countless threads, people telling me I should stay and fight for our rights. I'm posting this because the many that can stay in fight, should and GodSpeed. But a lot of us are leaving, not just because gun laws and NJ politics. Some of us are getting older and preparing for retirement. My wife and I had deep discussion over this and if we stay here, even our pensions and social security will not enable us to keep paying, paying and more paying. Some examples of living in Tennessee: - Our home insurance here is about $1K a year. TN is about $582 for a brand new home. - Taxes: NJ collects all the taxes you can think of. My home here is on a 40x100 ft lot. My taxes here are about $6500 a year. TN is about $1500 TN collects no State Income Tax. Their sales taxes suck a bit, averaging the collective state and county taxes of about 9.25% Lil' high but you save in a long run. Doesn't mean you have to spend thousands a year. Our biggest sales tax hit will be when we get there and buying all new furniture and such. - Car insurance for 2 brand new leased vehicles cost us almost $2G a year. TN full coverage is $1G for both vehicles. - OK, your favorite. Gun laws... I've had over 5 ccw's here in NJ over the years. Some were job related. Some not. You all, or should I start saying ya'll know the trials and tribulations you are confronting every day in NJ. In TN, they honor almost all states CCWs including Utah. Which I have. That will enable me to carry from the Virginias on out to TN till I get my CCW there. There are no fid or pistol permits persay. Just instant NICS checks. Buy a gun, walk out with it. Once you get your TN ccw which I believe does not take long, you are good to go. Many ranges and gun stores, 2 of which are in the same town. But I will make a day trip to Kentucky Gun which I have done business with over the years. They are only 6% sales tax and are a gun friendly state. - We can live anywhere as long as we get hi-speed internet. My wife is going to be allowed to work from home for the rest of her time employed as long as she has hi-speed internet so she can VPN in to her main office in Oregon. My only criteria is at least an acre and a garage that will be my man cave. I would really like being Bob Lee Swagger and go off grid but you don't get many amenities that way, including a Triple Play Package because if you want land, you are stuck with just a Satellite Dish and that won't cut it. So when we officially retire, we very well may go off the grid a bit. So no backyard shooting till then. - Friends and family. My parents have passed long ago and my siblings are no longer in my eye site. They fall into the turnip category due to jealousy. I've worked hard all my life. If you choose not to, that's on you... My best friend passed away and all others have done what we are doing now. Getting out of this hell hole. All my LEO comrades moved to FL, AZ and other areas and opened up 7-11s.... screw dat! I'd open donut shops! lmao.... So, guess I'll have to make new friends and enjoy what lil time my wife has with her only parent, her dad which will be a mere 14 mile drive. So please, if you see people in which you feel are running from this state because of gun laws, it may not just be about that. I'm tired of fighting for my NJ rights. I did my time here in many facets of life, Civil Defense, Rescue Squads, LEO, CG and many other things.... I don't need to do that, as I have pushed for over 60 years. So that being said, I leave this beautiful state with tears in my eyes. I've lived in my town my whole life. I say 'beautiful state' because it is. It just happens to be ran by criminal scum politicians. The landscape can be city all the way through country living. If you have toured this state as much as I have, there are many beautiful places. By the end of this week, I should be underway and to never look back! So fair well to the friends I have made here, the business relationships and so on. I'd like to think I been helpful over the years and made some sort of difference. For the people who hate or despise me, no harm, no foul. If that is your nature in general, so be it. I won't say I hate you because I am not that kind of person. But all I can suggest is look outside the box. Its not and never will be all about you. I will try to check in from time to time, but we will be knee deep in trying to settle in. Good Luck! Ya'll will need it!

As Sota said, they can be removed. But too big for a 15 rounder? Don’t understand that one. Its not really that big. If round count isn’t an issue, get an SK. I carry either or comfortably even with my spare tire. [emoji23][emoji6] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I didn’t see them saying an SK version was out did they? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

If you train and carry an HK, muscle memory is fine. I mentioned this before. I practice regularly with most of my guns. My hand(s), fingers, know exactly were to go as soon as they are in my hand. IMHO, all guns should have releases like the HK. You don’t have to contort your hands, twist, etc. My trigger finger hits the release with no effort at the same time my mag is ready to go in. EZ PZ.... Whats even nicer is the size of your hand really makes no difference. I agree, I’ll stick with the style I trained and carried for years. If I want a button, I have Sigs and 1911’s for that. [emoji6] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Chicken Galore in Fair Lawn in Broadway. Get a lot for your money and family owned. Much better than franchise crap. http://www.chicken-galore.com/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They did my prints there for my Utah ccw. Charlie and quite a few others are former leo. Charlie is qualified for quite a few things so I’m guessing he would but there may be a fee. Your local leo wont do it? They should know how. Its not hard. I use to do my own prints while there years ago. Just need an official fp card and some cleaner to wash your hands. [emoji6]

And thats the problem. Ray, I have no prob siding with you on occasion, but he didn’t ask for your opinion. And I sure as hell didn’t need your comment. Try answering questions that people ask. Not the ‘holier than ray’ ‘tude bro! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You are absolutely correct. But as stated, the guy never gave a price. He listed the parts and ‘asked’ for advice. Instead what he got mostly is critique about why it should or shouldn’t. I never once interpreted anything else other than that. Although, I am a lil jealous of his collection.[emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Don’t listen to some of these boneheads. You at least listed the parts. Who built what and greased who to install in who’s butt is ridiculous. I, not so long, sold 2 ARs that ran me $2G, for $800 so I can get one that I wanted. Took quite a loss. [emoji846] If I saw the post early on, I would have told you just get another safe and keep it which you did. By your not so intentional brag, you obviously got good and expensive taste with the bux to back it up. [emoji16] So, as mentioned, you did list parts. Whether parting out or selling as a whole, is immaterial. Quite a lot of us built guns and know what to look for. Nobody expects to buy a gun sight unseen and would be foolish if they did unless they knew the gun and the owners practices. Over the years, people busted my balls because I keep my weapons pristine and clean after each use. Hell, the Marines told me I was more asinine then they were about cleaning my guns. That to me was a very big compliment.[emoji106][emoji2532] Point I’m making, someone saying they don’t know where who’s butt the gun was in, could easily know upon inspection and could, if need be, correct or improve any wrongs on the gun unless badly damage which would also depict any good or bad price points.

Great gun, just as accurate and easy to shoot as it's big brother. I have both and love them.
