Not sure why your profile shows zero posts, but clicking through to 'activity' shows your your posting history on this forum goes back 13 months, and consists of over two dozen posts asking sellers to message you because you are too new to post.

Note that the perp had her handcuffed to a chair and she was still able to retrieve her .357 and shoot him twice.

I saw this on a door in Sodus Bay, NY when we were up there watching the overcast that had an eclipse behind it on Monday. Much of upstate NY feels the same way about the nonsense that comes out of Albany and NYC.

How was the TOTALITY? That might have made up for it.
It was pretty good. Clever concept, I had to support the ingenuity of the brewers who came up with the idea of making a beer for the eclipse.

This is a late trip report, as I avoid posting trip plans to social media until after I'm home.
We planned to drive to upstate NY. The forecast wasn't great, but it looked like the best odds were to get as far east as we had time for, on the southern shore of Lake Ontario. We ended up at the delightful town of Sodus Bay. In town we enjoyed a brewed-just-for-the-occasion black lager called Totality, then set up at a primo spot right on the beach. But, the overcast arrived well before the eclipse. We saw nothing of the sun, though of course it got much darker for 3 1/2 minutes.
We hedged our bets by spending the day before in Ithaca; It had been 20 years since I had a chance to wander around my grad school alma mater, then the day after we had planned a trip to Niagara Falls--my wife had never been there.
So the trip worked out ok, but if I were to post my best eclipse photo, it might be this, taken under blue skies the next day:

Addendum: The post has been scrubbed. (Shock!) The text now shown is accurate.
Not to be outdone, Sunny Hostin, co-host of The View, claimed on air that the eclipse, the earthquake, and the upcoming cicada emergence were ALL due to climate change

Warby Parker (their brick and mortar stores) advertised that they would be giving them away. I've no idea for how long. Some local libraries are also handing them out.
We still had ours, along with a camera filter and cheap eclipse binoculars, from the 2017 total eclipse.

Felt it here! I thought it wasn't that much weaker than the first one, though it was shorter. Reportedly, there was a magnitude 2 aftershock at 12:20 today, and I didn't notice that one. I might have been in the car then.

I'm sorry to hear this...even though I'd planned to make last year's event my last appearance at the TVLand shoot--time to focus on getting packed and ready to move, if we can ever find a home in North Idaho...
I hope Stan has a speedy recovery...he has been the driving force behind this charity match, and a number of historic firearms matches at Cherry Ridge every year.
As noted, these events are a LOT of fun, and I encourage everyone to turn out when the match is rescheduled, even if it means waiting a year. For now, I guess our favorite high-scoring female will retain the Ziva David (NCIS) title for a SECOND year!
Pretty good prize pool, too. These are goodies from 12 of the events, since donated back to Stan to award at future events.

I'm seeing reports that today's quake, though not all that strong at magnitude 4.7-4.8, was still the strongest ever recorded in NJ.

Felt it pretty good here in Morris County. About 25 miles from the epicenter. Lotta noise with the shaking, much of it glasses clinking together in the cabinets, plus the dog losing his mind. No apparent damage. Now getting texts from various first-responder groups asking the public to stop calling their emergency numbers to ask what happened.

Yea, No. Not gunna do it, not going to jam a handgun with an unguarded trigger into my pants. Didn't need the state statute to tell me it's a bad idea.

My condolences. She was a beautiful dog, and your devotion to her shows in the handbuilt Bailey chair you made for her.

If you aren't bringing a plane with you but want access to something to fly for fun, I can recommend a good flying club at KMMU with an IFR-capable C172. I've been a member there for years.

42 minutes ago, ESB said:Can we move the list of Businesses that have no gun signs to this forum? I can never find it when I need it.
The thread with the list is titled: "List of NJ Businesses posting 'No Guns' signs", so if you search on the keywords in your proposed title, it will come right up.
A mod might be able to move it to the Concealed Carry forum; I can't, but it's not inappropriate to have it in the NJ Gun Laws Discussion Forum. Maybe they could put a pointer in one of the two forums, pointing to the thread in the other, while not allowing updates to the thread with the pointer (otherwise people would be listing no-carry sites in both forums, which would make it hard to keep the list current.)

That's generally a good practice.
I have had good luck buying partial containers IF it is a powder I already use and have in inventory. Then I bring a sheet of white paper to the buy, spread a spoonful of powder from the partial container out, and next to it spread a spoonful of the known good powder I brought along. Look at the samples closely. Not only should the partial container powder show only a single type of grain, with no evidence that any other powder was accidentally mixed in, but the grains should exactly match the grains in the known good powder.
That's probably not perfect, but it greatly increases the confidence level.
NJ BBQ (was: BBQ cooking/competition school in May)

I finally got to put my BBQ judge certification to use, at the NJ KnoQ-Out BBQ competition in Blairstown April 20-21. https://campgroundbbq.com/nj-knoqout
NJ is on the outer fringe of BBQ culture in the US, but the Team of the Year points chase brings the top competitors all the way out here. We had a couple of former national champions show up, hoping this is the year they repeat. We had 50 teams registered Saturday, almost 40 on Sunday, a mix of Masters Division (turning in chicken, pork ribs, pork shoulder, and brisket) and Backyard Division, judged to the same standards but cooking only chicken and ribs (no overnight cooking required).
Judges are divided into teams of six, and each team judges six entries for each meat, scoring for appearance, tenderness, and taste. When the scores are tabulated, the taste score is weighted most heavily, appearance least heavily. Teams have to hit a narrow turn-in window every 30 minutes, chicken first, the ribs, pork, and brisket, followed by the Backyard division chicken, then ribs.
So, for 3 hours, the judges are getting 6 portions of meat every 30 minutes. Even judging based on one bite (the norm, though a second bite is allowed if needed), it’s a lot of meat.
BUT, at this level of competition, it’s really good. The best was extraordinary, and even the worst was just…ordinary. There wasn’t a bad bite during the entire competition, at least at the tables where I was judging. The judging is double-blind, so I’ll never know whose entries I judged, but I did get to eat some of the best BBQ I’ve ever had.
