  1. I, for one, would never hunt in the Northeast with a .223 or 556 AR. It's too much for squirrels and rabbits, and not enough for deer.  Now, when I'm out in the woods and it's pissing down rain do I wish I had a synthetic stocked bolt action? Yes. Do I wish I had an AR? Nope.  

    I'm also kind of a traditionalist when it comes to hunting (I also hunt with a flint lock), so that probably sways my thinking about this a lot. Yeah, I know, in the fall I turn into a Fudd. I can feel the change coming ...

    NJ isn't exactly a lever gun kinda state.  The deer hunting culture here (by no fault of hunters) is too entrenched in shotguns.

    Well, you actually can't hunt deer with a rifle in NJ; shotgun only. That's one (of the many) reasons I hunt in PA. With a Marlin .30-30 lever action. 


  3. On Thursday, Murphy called the Supreme Court decision tragic.

    “Based on a deeply flawed constitutional methodology, a right-wing majority on the United States Supreme Court has just said that states can no longer decide for ourselves how best to limit the proliferation of firearms in the public sphere,” he said. “Let there be no mistake – this dangerous decision will make America a less safe country.”

    And just like that, the Bill of Rights in no longer above his pay grade...

    The secondary question is: what caliber is a Diet Coke?

    When we used to participate in live fire cannon competitions (yes, they used to have them at Monmouth Battlefield), the projectile of choice was an Alpo can filled with cement. Round balls skip too much, so to control missed shots we need to use something that tumbles like a football, instead of skipping. A round cannon ball can skip pretty far!). So, in at least a partial answer, a 3 pound cannon (cannon calibers are stated in projectile weight) is Alpo can caliber.  I also have a 1 pounder swivel gun; that's golf ball caliber.

    Bought  binoculars, submitted my review and filled out form, never received a refund. Who do I contact?

    Same here. I really like the binos and will keep them anyway, but no response from anyone.
