    "So we applaud the Legislature and the Murphy Administration for devising a new set of regulations that are fair, balanced, and tailored to withstand constitutional scrutiny – while dealing with the 300,000 new gun owners that have already applied for firearm permits."

    Amazing how they can come out with such crap

    Bought my first lever action in the early 80's. Have added to my collection over the years. Have stepped up things in the last ten years as lever actions have escalated in price and popularity and searching for other makes that are out of production and have become scarce. 

    Mine vary in age from 1939 to 1984. Only one was purchased new.

    I'm old enough to remember the 'good old days' in Nj where you could walk into a gun shop and ask to see a gun from behind a display and the clerk would simply nod and hand you the gun.

    I gritted my teeth when they started asking to see my FID as they referenced some ambiguous 'legislation' that NOBODY had been charged of.  I usually have it with me and it's not worth arguing.

    I experienced the latest evolution in lunacy on a recent trip to a brand new gun shop.  To simply handle one of the empty guns behind the glass display you must show your FID and your matching Drivers License.  ALSO, you may not dry fire (a Glock in this case) and you must keep the gun over the display case at all times (you can't take a step back to give yourself a little room) while still pointing in a 'safe' direction.

    So stupid.

    As NJ is heading towards more 'normalcy' with carry legislation it seems that our gun shops are headed in the OPPOSITE direction and making shit up to inconvenience their customers.



    End of rant.

    It was a long week...

     

    Last time I would shop there.

    I'm not sure if this is being posted in the Ham Radio thread but here goes.

    I did my first Parks-on-the-Air (POTA) outing on Sunday morning. It's a shame I only just discovered this.

    Working with just 10W and an end fed antenna in Swartzwood State Park, approximately 30 stations answered my CQ in about 90 minutes. 

    Let that sink in. My entire ham career (since 2014) I don't think more than 10 stations COMBINED have answered my cq, whether at 100w or 10w, SSB or CW (I operate mostly 5-10 w). I got 25+ calls in less than 2 hours!!

    If you're a ham who has lost interest you should definitely try POTA. I'd be happy to show you how I do it, or meet up in one of the designated POTA parks. 

    Newonian ... you exist!  Haven't seen your by-line in quite awhile.

    Yes; I've been playing with POTA for several months now - lots of fun.  Once things get a bit less hectic, I'll be out doing a few park activations of my own.  Plenty of places here in the Poconos

    Hello all . . . My club has a nice trap/five stand range and I'm interested in shooting a few times a year.  I can't tell you the last time that I pulled the trigger on a shotgun.  I have two pump action tackticals with 18.5  in. barrels.  Not really useful in this vein.  

    What can I look for to get in for a reasonable price?  I'd prefer two barrels to make it work for five stand but I don't want to spend a grand or more for a gun I'm going to shoot a few times a year.

    One of the things I miss; having retired and moved from South Jersey, is shooting trap and 5-stand at Telco.

    Its a great bunch of folks, and a lot of fun. 

    Just about any good hunting shotgun that fits you will work; pump, semi, o/u or sxs.
