    While I am all for pushing the issue of CCW in this state there is one huge flaw in this and that would be us.

    The rallies this year had a turn out of a few hundred. Not nearly close to 5,000. The recent elections again show that we didn't show in numbers to push change.

    With a million plus gun owners in this state and that is the representation we show just for the preservation of our rights.

    Problem is this is NJ and people are only going to think of themselves and in the here and now not their children or future generations. It's easier to sit back, do nothing, and then bitch about the results.

    To many people are going to take the mentality of well I don't want a black mark against me if I apply for permits or buy a gun so I'll let somebody else do it.

    Until we can get large numbers of us to unite, I think we are our biggest obstacle.

    Definitely a pair of the most ergonomic handguns out there. Only the M&P feels better, and that is probably only because it has a smaller grip. I would like to get a P-01.

    Just to encourage you, the P-01 is very nice.

    Blake - I've never fired a 40 but have heard from others they are a very snappy and harsh round. Maybe try if in 9 or 45? Those Baby Eagles ae very nice looking!

    40 is snappy but not to bad. It's probably not the round that's so much an issue but the gun. Some pistols just do a better job of distributing recoil then others do.

    It's still early in the planning stages but a manufacture is looking to build a new facility next to The Heritage Guild in Easton PA. I don't think it's going to make a huge dent in supply levels but every little bit helps.

     

    Two businessmen are asking Williams Township officials to adjust zoning laws to allow for a plant that makes ammunition.

     

    Jim Calderio and Tal Najjar want to turn a nearly 5,000-square-foot warehouse on Hilton Street into a business that would make handgun ammunition. The facility would be at the site of The Heritage Guild shooting range.

     

    The men pitched the plan to open Accu-Maxx Ammunition to address a ammunition shortage on Wednesday night.

     

    Officials voted 2-1 to pass the rezoning request to township and Lehigh Valley planners. Supervisors George Washburn and Sally Hixon were receptive to the idea, but Supervisor Vince Foglia dissented over safety concerns.

     

    Foglia feared that people -- including those "who want to build pipe bombs" -- may break into the facility. The township doesn't have a full-time police department to patrol in case a situation like that occurred, he said. The township relies on State Police at Belfast, which is about 30 minutes from the township, he said.

     

    Washburn said the facility would create jobs and they "might as well build it here."

     

    "I'm fairly comfortable that it will be safe," he said.

     

    The township's planning commission would get to review the proposal, and "our planners beat everything to death, which is good," he said.

     

    Hixon said she'd prefer granting a variance for Accu-Maxx because "if we pass a zoning amendment it opens it up to the entire zoning district."

     

    Every property owner within 200 feet of the proposed plant would be notified by mail before it goes to the zoning board if it were changed to a special exception, said township zoning officer Richard Adams.

    OG is spot on. Rt 173 is at the first traffic light you come to. Look for brown wma sign at entrance. There is a small square house/office building just before the entrance.

    Might be worth having a pro look at it. Depending when in the 60's it was built you could have aluminum wiring and is a fire hazard worth replacing. If the wrong outlets are used with aluminum wiring you have a definite fire hazard. Would give serious consideration to at least consulting a pro if you are unsure.

    Smokin.50 is spot on. All comes down to tax money. Big surprise. Diesel trucks are subject fuel inspection and if you are caught running heating oil it is a hefty fine. During Sandy I know plenty of people were doing it. It's an emergency and you do what you have to do. If you have an in ground oil tank you could always get a battery powered pump or hand pump to have on hand.

    As much as I love shooting, I would never move from NJ to PA because of their lenient gun laws. I don't need to walk with a gun on my hip and don't have the need to walk in a gun shop and buy 4 pistols at a time or the need for large capacity magazines. I have several friends who moved to PA from NJ and they are miserable. They are not gun owners but they moved because they thought things were better on the other side. Now they wish they could come back but sadly they admit they can not afford to live in NJ.

    I wouldn't call PAs gun laws lenient. Without a CCW in PA the handgun laws are very similar to NJ, to and from the range no deviation. They have the same background checks as we do except its instant. I was in a gun shop in PA one time and saw a guy denied a pistol from an arrest from 25 years ago. Their system is efficient and painless. Think about our application for handguns here. You apply for your permits and pass that check. Go to buy a handgun and run a check again. Ogam to prevent what? If I end up flipping out and decide to go on a shooting spree I'm going to buy a new handgun and not use the ones I have? The whole problem with NJ is its moronic, everything about it.
