It would appear that there are a plethora of, for example, the LE6920 OEM1 models out or sale, now. I am a little worried about the OEM2, which went out of stock and probably won't be replaced in the near future... So any that are still left in the open market might become a little pricey... Sucks as that's the one I wanted, as it doesn't have the built in front sight blocking my scope, as does the OEM1. I'm told you can remove the front sight but the lower portion of it houses the impingement tubes so i wouldn't want to mess with that. Anyway, I'm sure there are a good number of other models out there, and perhaps this is an opportunity to start from scratch (i.e. a lower) and do my own custom build... We'll see. A litle intimidating, but we'll see.

Welcome from Tampa Bay, FL (formerly from Warren County, NJ)! And yes, it is much worse. To a great extent, it's why I'm in Florida, now, although it may not be for long if too many antis keep moving down here!

Here is the 8am cone report for Sat. 08/31. Looks like we here in Tampa Bay might just get off with a "warning..." and only minimal winds/flooding. But it could still turn any which way, and we all have to be vigilant. If it continues along the current trend, it's heading right for Beaufort, SC. That might be bad for anyone along the coast from SE Georgia (where my Aunt and cousin are) to where they want to EVAC if need be. Here's hoping...

Welcome from Tampa Bay, Florida, formerly Warren County, NJ!

OK Great!

I definitely think we need at least one more conservative justice on the court (hopefully replacing the "Notorious RBG" or Breyer)... because of the concerns about Roberts. Then I think we can start to take on some of these cases.

I speak very basic Japanese. But is the order in electronic form that you could run it through Google Translate?

Let us all hope they are successful in that effort...

I can only hope that SCOTUS will be the ones to break that log jam. But I think we need one more justice to make it happen. Because Roberts is just way too flaky. We need to replace 'Notrious RBG" ASAP.

Oh, I'm sure many have told them... I'm even sure many actually know that for themselves... they just don't care... They ignore it in favor of their own agenda.

I don't think so.... According to "handgunlaw.us," NJ is "may issue" both technically and in reality. Still, the law probably wouldn't be challenged, and that's the problem here. No one single individual or group of people have the resources to take NJ all the way through the court system to challenge it. And NJ plays on that. it has unlimited resources for fighting such challenges. Anyway, to answer the OP's question, the basic problem is that NJ feels they can take the position they do because no one will challenge them or has the resources to do it. And they count on that to make it work.

And, thank goodness she's on the side of quashing it...

We do, here in Florida. Because we know how easily FL can become just like the PRNJ, especially with so many of them moving down here. Already, there's a ballot initiative to ban "Assault" style weapons. We are fighting that vigorously! We raise noise down here. And we have a strong state org in Florida Carry....

Well, "individual recidivism" for sure... In any event, I have always believed (and I'm sure Glen can verify from our previous "discussions"), that Capital Punishment really shouldn't serve that purpose, or any other purpose, except one... to be that "necessary and sufficient measure of justice..." for the committed crime and the circumstances surrounding it. It's all about the justice.... at least for me. It's all about the pursuit of justice for the victims of those crimes... especially those that are no longer with us to fight on their own. We fight for them, and their surviving families. I don't care about recidivism, deterrence or any of those other things. If they happen, then so much the better, but the only thing that matters to me is the service of justice. Is the justice system perfect? Absolutely not. And we need to do much better at ensuring that those who deserve Capital Punishment actually do. Does it cost a lot of $$$? Absolutely. But should cost be an excuse to deny justice to victims (and survivors) that deserve it? I think not. Thus, again, the one and only one question to be asked and answered is, "Are there crimes and circumstances for which the 'forfeiture of life' is that necessary and sufficient measure of justice?" My answer: Yes.

Something like the 1850's. See this earlier thread I started on "Bureaucracy Battles..." back when I first joined NJGF... I honestly don't know the answer to your 2nd question...

The NJ DMV? They're still in the 50's.....

I hope it works well for you. Just be careful... make sure the libtards don't follow you there and try to change things to *their* way.... That is our primary worry here in FL.

Perhaps, but his son is in the movie.... Goose's son (played by Miles Teller) is one of Maverick's students.

I'm starting this thread here as, believe it or not, I saw a similar thread started in (of all places, the "GlockTalk" forum)... Recently, I've gotten into using a Sodastream for making my own Soda pop/seltzer. I had an old Xmas Gift card for Bed, Bath & Beyond and thought I should use it for something worthwhile. Having done it, I can say with confidence that it was an excellent call. I love the thing. I can make my own seltzer at my own level of carbination and flavor with my own syrups if I want to make traditional soda. I'm a Diet Dr. Pepper fan, and you can actually get a 1gal. and/or 5 gal, box of syrup of it on Amazon. I haven't done that yet as the shipping costs outweigh just going to the local Wally and buying the bottles of syrup (the Sodatstream version is called "Diet Dr. Pete" and it's even better as it's made with Sucralose and not Aspartame). A bottle of Diet Dr. Pete costs $4.88 (on "rollback" at present) and is advertised as making "up to 9 liters..." Maybe I use too much per batch because the best I can do is about 6L of soda per bottle of syrup. But I digress. The biggest expense hurdle (if you're looking to use it to save money) is in replacing/refilling the CO2 tanks. A brand new 60L tank from Sodastream is around $30.00 at Wally. Meaning, it should be able to carbonate about 60L of water per tank. I only get about 40L, but that's OK. Again, I probably over-carbonate. You can exchange an empty tank for a filled one for about $15.00. However, there are a great many different ways of getting the tanks refilled, or using alternate methods for carbonating. There are a bunch of different tank adapters that let you hook up a commercial grade CO2 tank (anywhere from 5lb to 20+lb) with a CGA320 valve to the Sodastream unit. You have to make sure that you keep the main tank valve "off" when not in use and clear the adapter line as well. I'm leaning toward this strategy eventually, but I have to ensure that it works without having to regulate the pressure and/or causing damage to the Sodastream unit, and ensuring there's an easy source of refilling the CO2 tank (either a beer craft store or a local Airgas location that I can go to for a fill). Hopefully, if I get a 20lb tank, I won't have to do that so often. Some people go to paint ball shops and use paint ball tanks, etc., but there are concerns about "food grade" CO2. We'll see how that goes. Until then, what I have tried to use is the "really cheap" way to fill the existing 60CL CO2 tanks... the "Dry Ice" method. The Publix in my neighborhood sells food grade dry ice for $1.68/lb. The basic procedure is to take an empty 60CL tank (and be sure it's empty), unscrew the valve (and the 1st time it may require some effort as they're screwed on tightly), and, using a kitchen scale, fill the tank with solid dry ice chunks/flakes up to the correct weight (~410grams of dry ice). Replace the valve and tighten (and be sure the burst valve is also tightened), and once the tank warms up you'll have a pressurized CO2 tank, per Soda Stream standards. This method works and is cheapest, but it takes a lot of time, and you have to move fast, once you get the Dry Ice chunks from your supplier. In particular, you have to have a good method of crushing the Dry Ice blocks into smaller chunks and/or a powder, and getting them into the tank before it sublimes. The tank says it takes 14.5oz of CO2 (roughly that ~410 grams you weigh out). So you really should by a little more than 1lb of dry ice for one 60CL tank as you'll lose a bit of it trying to get it into the tank. This has been the biggest challenge for me. Figuring out an efficient way of crushing the dry ice blocks into small chunks or a powder and getting down the funnel into the tank. A good thing to do is take a chopstick and be able to shove the dry ice down into the tank from the funnel as it will freeze inside the funnel spout. I've seen some suggestions on how to use a std. blender to get the dry ice blocks into small enough crystals or powder to shove down the funnel. But I have yet to test that theory. I just hope it doesn't freeze up the blender. Anyway, here's a Youtube video on how to do the dry ice method: So, has anyone here gotten in to this "Sodastream" thing and what are your experiences with it, if any? If you use the "dry ice" method, what tips & tricks have you developed to be more efficient with the dry ice so that you don't lose a lot of it while trying to fill the tank? Hopefully, I'll be doing the 20lb tank with adapter, soon, but until then... Discuss... Thanks!

What? Not "Eyes Wide Shut????"

What are the chances that the State will try to appeal to a higher court? Maybe even SCOTUS?

I drove an Autobahn in 1984, with a small Audi automatic. I was able to do 110mph (didn't want the engine to overheat by going higher) in some places on that Autobahn.... People were passing me... The problem with Autobahns is that you still have big a$$ lumbering trucks that can't drive that fas,t, and for which you have to zip around. The other problem is that all the other motor vehicle and traffic laws are strictly enforced (i.e. weaving in and out of traffic, etc.). Fines and sanctions for those violations are hefty. You had best know what you're doing.

I assume, then, they got rid of those ALPR cameras (mounted on Stands) on Rt. 31 just above 518 in East Amwell, right?

Well, if Marion Barry could be re-elected mayor of DC after his "convictions...."
