I agree that hunters are not concerned about gun rights. I live in Rural SJ. Everybody I know hunts. The fact that Sweeney 21 anti-gun bills into the one giant Sweeney Omnibus Gun Control Bill doesn't bother them at all because they get to keep their shotguns. Everyone will say that they support the second amendment but very few realize what that actually means.

According to the NJOA's facebook page, they are a 527 non profit organization. I thought 527s were restricted from advocating for a particular candidate. Can somebody smarter than me tell me I'm correct. If I'm right, I'm calling the IRS.

How many tickets were printed?

I wish I could find the old post here by the guy who called his local town to see if there was a local ordinance preventing him from building a shooting range in his back yard. There wasn't...until they received his phone call and decided to pass one. Lets' stop badgering the new anti-gun PA AG who already made a campaign promise to cancel these reciprocity agreements. I want him to forget about us.

Inventory. I usually know what I want but I don't want to drive around or make phone calls. It's 2017. Lets get some inventories online.

thank you

Can you explain more?

I snap a photo of each one including serial number when I buy it. They go in a folder on my computer - which is backed up off site. No list but if I ever need one it would be easy to come up with one.

Overall, used guns cost awfully close to new. I've bought several used ones. The only time I've ever gotten a "deal" is if the gun needed some work. And, with a very few exceptions, by the time I've done whatever repair was needed, I had spent enough that I could have bought a new gun.

I have this fantasy. I imagine Trump calling in all of the ranking congressmen and senators. He shows them the file of very, very, bad things he has compiled on each one of them. The list of every time they sold their vote for an overpriced speaking engagement - or whatever the money laundering scheme was. He shows the times they worked back room deals to get a no bid contract for a brother in law. The times they invested in some stock just before they passed a law to make themselves rich. Every time they did something to harm America to put money in their own pocket. These files are not only a guarantee that they won't be elected again. They're also indictable. I'm confident that such a dossier could easily be assembled on most members of congress. He then tells that all they have to do is pass a constitutional amendment creating term limits. They can even exempt themselves and have it only apply to newly elected members of the swamp. I'm patient. I'll wait until all the current swamp dwellers die off.

Lots of times the door will lift off of a safe once it's open. That cuts a lot of weight since they make the doors very heavy to make the safe feel substantial when you open the big, heavy door.

There are more republicans in the house and senate than democrats. Usually, they can say that the democrats wouldn't cooperate. We now see who is the real problem. Term limits. Term limits. Term limits. The most important thing for Trump to accomplish is getting the right people on the supreme court. The second most important is term limits. Everything else is just gravy.

We always stay in Virginia just over the river. Weekend rates are cheap since most people visiting the swamp are there to profit off of your tax dollars Monday through Friday. We drive to the nearest Metro station and take the Metro everywhere. If you're used to the NYC subway, this is 1,000 x nicer. Since the museums are all free, it's a nice family trip for a couple of days. We have a favorite food vendor out the back doors of the air and space museum where we always get egg rolls for lunch. While you're there, check out the spy museum if you have boys. Lots of fun.

Please do not call your local PD or municipality. There was a poster here a couple of years ago who did that. The town did not have a no-discharge ordinance...until he called them. They realized someone might shoot on their own property and passed an ordinance at the next town meeting. NJ has no such law. If your town doesn't it's legal. Depending on where you live, the local PD might assume there is such a law and give you a hard time. Typical noise ordinances allow 90dB at the property line. Make the inspector bring out his sound meter. Unless you're right at the line, you won't be over 90dB. I shoot in my back yard all the time. So do all my neighbors. May this thread now rest in peace.

That's a very specific spring. I think you'll do a lot of driving around without much luck. I'd just order the one from Grainger if it's exactly what you need.

Trump is definitely still a gamble but I'm going to remain cautiously optimistic. Imagine if Hillary was president and there were several SCOTUS appointments during her term.

I need an RFID card to enter all of the buildings at work. I keep mine in my wallet with my credit cards and just wave my wallet at the door. My wallet is always with me unless I'm sleeping. When I'm sleeping it sits on my night stand. Although it's not intentional, my RFID is within reach all the time.

But an axe is not a plane. Axes should be sharp. You don't need them razor sharp. After the first cut, they aren't razor sharp any more and I'm not sharpening between each cut. 90% of the way to razor sharp takes only 10% of the time and is good enough for an axe head. Spending the extra 90% of the time it takes to get razor sharp is just inefficient use of time. Now maybe, we're actually talking about the same thing using different terms. To me "razor sharp" really means razor sharp. Maybe to others, it just means sharp.

Logic has no place here. Fear of guns is an emotional issue. As strange as it is, people make decisions based on emotions, not facts. Gun haters (or more accurately, gun fearers) will not be swayed by facts. Guns are scary and must be banned because I'm afraid of them.

It sounds like this kid is trouble and would be getting some attention even without the gun. But...he hasn't been arrested with enough gun parts to make a gun. Right now, an unfinished 80% lower isn't a gun part - it's just a chunk of metal. If NJ prevails and gets a conviction, a legal precedent will be set. Case law is law so possession of an unfinished 80% lower would be illegal in NJ. How many NJ residents have purchased an 80% lower via mail or with a credit card and left a paper trail?

There's value in happiness. Pensions are not without risk. You can invest on your own and be comfortable in retirement without a pension - if you're disciplined.

Even if this gets to SCOTUS and is a win, I'm not sure it will help us. Even though "justifiable need" and "good cause" are the same thing, NJ will simply claim that it doesn't apply here. If the 2nd amendment doesn't apply here and Heller and McDonald don't apply here, why would a new SCOTUS ruling apply here?

I worked for hotels for years. Ozone machines work. Put it in the car and let it run for several hours. Get the smell out of the fabrics. Rent a carpet extractor that has an upholstery wand. This will spray water and shampoo into the fabrics and vacuum it out as you move the wand. It will make it stink worse until it dries but you'll be surprised how much yellow stuff you get out of the fabrics. Do this on a warm, sunny, low humidity day so it will dry in the sun with the windows cracked. Change the cabin air filter - usually behind the glove compartment. Set up a real, commercial ozone generator in the car and let it run all day. Real Ozone generators are ugly and make a loud buzzing noise when they work.

Before you get too excited about Stephens vs Jerejian, I think you should read this article all the way through. http://www.englewoodnjnews.com/marc-stephens-challenging-new-jersey-s-firearm-laws-as-unconstitutional-after-receiving-death-threats Something seems a little off with this case. I'm not sure this is the poster child we're looking for.

I knew a guy with a PhD in physics, had taught at a university, but worked 6 days a week as a crew hand on a sail boat. One morning, I met him very early at the docks in NYC. He was sitting on a bench eating his breakfast out of a donut box. As usual, his pants didn't fit, he had a tight wife beater over his too big T-shirt and his socks didn't match. Oh, I forgot to mention that his hair was all the same length - hair, beard, mustache - all cut off around shoulder length. As I got closer to the bench where he was sitting, some woman walked over to him and handed him a five dollar bill, which he accepted with a "thank you" and stuck in his pocket. He wasn't homeless. He wasn't even broke. He had a side business doing some software work for MTA to better coordinate train schedules to avoid collisions. He made a comfortable living doing that. He preferred to spend his days working as manual labor on a boat. Not all cashiers are dumb.
