  1. This makes the most sense. Between the car and the truck, keeping the tanks near filled gives me 35 - 40 gallons of fresh gas on hand in an emergency. All I need is a long length of clear tubing and I'm in business.

    Just remember some of newer cars have anti syphon devices installed in them. Might be something you want to look into.

     

     

     


  2.   

     

    I've had many of them leak. They most often leak when they are hit, when they freeze (not gasoline), or when they are exposed to the elements for long periods. If it's in your garage and you are not driving a fork lift around it probably won't leak. But I would still put it in a plastic secondary containment tub just to prevent the environmental liability since the cost of prevention is so low. Also keeps the floor clean when transferring stuff in/out.

    One of those plastic kiddy pools would be a simple and cheap back up if your concerned.

     

     

     


  3. I believe that they are not as reliable as their 9mm counterparts.

    I have around 2,500 rounds on mine and have had zero issues. I don't consider that a high round count though. So far it has eaten any ammo that I have run in it.

    The only thing to complain about is after prolonged shooting the front sight gets very dirty and the dot disappears.

  4. Love it. Not for everybody though they have a thick grip on them, although the new one is a little slimmer. Great gun though. I have no complaints. Heritage Guild in Easton had one in stock.


  5. If you don't mind the wood stove in your living room than go for it. You may need to enlarge the harth to comply with fire code. The basement shouldn't be an issue though.

    I also use a wood stove as my primary heat source and it works great. The furnace hasn't kicked on yet this winter.


  6. The only thing I could see doing would be to run a drain line to daylight. Being able to do this though would depend on your elevations. You would need to be able to run the drain line to a point that is below the level in the sump pit.

    If conditions allow this it would be a pretty simple back up that doesn't need maintenance.

    One other idea would be a solar battery charger. You would need a good sized charger and battery bank though to be able to keep up with demand.


  7. A kerosene heater is a possibility but you are still tied to being able to get to a gas station. If you have a fireplace you could look at installing an insert. That would help a little bit anyway. If the need were to arise cover the windows and doors with a thick quilt. This way you aren't heating the entire house.

     


  8. To answer the ops question. During hunting season if I have time on my way home I can stop and hunt for a little.

    If I'm near a range at lunch I can stop and shoot. A buddy calls up last minuet to do some shooting I can.

    So while it isn't a big deal to some I have the freedom to stop and shoot when I want without having to drive out of my way and pick my stuff up and go back the way I came.


  9. If you want the full size Sig I believe that is the 229. Heritage Guild in Easton PA has a very decent rental selection. I'm not 100% on their rental inventory but you could try giving them a call.


  10. Gun Broker and other online sites never work for me because even if you get a deal, shipping, transfer fee, and NJNICS adds another $75.

     

    Buds in Vineland usually has some used long guns at pretty good prices. They even have a few junkers around in the back if you're looking for a project gun.

     

    I like pawn shops for long guns - out of state of course. Pawn shops in NJ can't loan against firearms.

     

    For handguns, your hands are tied - no out of state sales.

    You can always have a hand gun transferred here to your FFL.
