  1. Yet another case in point when the loosening of carry restrictions made anti-gunners heads exlode: "OMG... aaaaghhh... there'll be blood in the streets if this is passed!" - and reality (oh, that pesky reality) turned out to be entirely different. Early indications are that Florida's permitless carry law has contributed to a DECREASE in shootings. Article: The Unexpected Impact of Florida’s Permitless Carry Law on Crime Rates (msn.com)
  2. The article is correct... the sheer contempt that these politicians hold towards anyone that even dares to question their bloated, corrupt processes is just remarkable. Honestly, it makes me sick. This is not how "representatives" are supposed to behave.

  5. I don't know if this is helpful at all, but if you didn't see this - NJDEP Fish & Wildlife is offering Turkey hunting seminars on March 23... if you're really new to hunting, who knows?... It might be a good place to at least ask some of your questions: NJDEP Fish & Wildlife - March 23 Talkin' Turkey Seminars - Registration Required! - Hunting, Fishing & More - New Jersey Gun Forums (njgunforums.com)
  6. Some of you military history buffs may enjoy this. Personally?... I'm wondering... is it evidence of great, timeless design? Or are the Ukrainians just in far worse shape in this war than the media has advertised? You be the judge! Apparently, the Ukrainians are regularly employing the Maxim M1910 on the battlefield, a 140-year-old machine gun that was first used in World War I. (Well, now that I'm thinking about it... I own a 1911... so maybe I shouldn't question this?) Slideshow: Ukraine is using a very old machine gun because of its unique abilities (msn.com)
  7. Oops! I stand corrected. I accidentally confused the P238 with the P365. Thank you! What would I do without "the experts at my elbow"? Seriously! LOL.
  8. Interesting article! It's about how prepping is apparently attracting a more diverse audience these days as americans lose faith in gov't's ability to provide safety and security: https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/prepping-for-disaster-diversifies-as-more-americans-lose-trust
  9. Oh, dear! I log into NJ Gun Forums, and what do I see? @gloom has (quite innocently, I'm sure) named and shamed me! I should know better than to state my goals on the Internet. I'm waaaay behind my previously stated schedule. In my defense, my carry plans were totally obliterated by other gun stuff! Honestly? For me, it all comes down to moolah. I put myself on a strict budget when it comes to gun purchases, and then I prioritize them. This winter I was instead buying dies, an electronic scale, and various other reloading components to support my new rifle obsession. (Damn, even when you get good deals...everything is soooo costly!) So, I was simply in no position to be buying another gun. That said, I can't say I've done "nothing" re: carry. I've tried out (both borrowed and rented) several gun models. I also spent many days in my house wearing my (full-size) 1911 in borrowed holsters (thanks, @High Exposure for those loaners) - simply to get a sense of what wearing a holster felt like (because I'd never worn one before). After all of that, I have definitely come to "general conclusions". I'll end up with a .380 for sure. And once I make the final pick, I'll undoubtedly end up with several methods of carry - an IWB holster, a pocket holster, a cross-carry concealed carry purse, and probably a concealed carry purse that goes around the waist, too. (So that's a big expense in and of itself - just all those holsters!) I realize that also means a TON of extra practice (even if it's dry fire at home) to be competent with all methods, but I've decided it's just a necessity due to my wardrobe: "it is what it is". As far as which gun - the jury is still out but I'm getting closer. I ruled out the Walther PDP-F and micro 1911s. I shoot the Sig P365 P238 well & I do appreciate the nice, quality feel of it (my hesitancy is the price coupled with the low # of rounds). I haven't yet tried the EZ in .380 (I liked the EZ in 9, but the slide was still a bit too tight) or the Ruger LCP Max (of interest to me mainly because of its 10-round capacity) - they just didn't happen to have those last 2 models available where/when I rented - but I will try both before a decision is made. My winter goals have clearly morphed into spring/summer goals. Sorry to disappoint with my slow-poke pace... please forgive me, gloom!

  11. New Holland is about 2 hours from Tinton Falls (or Colts Neck or any of those towns in the middle of Monmouth County). Cumberland Rifleman is slightly under 2 hours. Those are probably your 2 best bets. It's not like there's a TON of longer-distance ranges around us. Personally, I don't think you need to get hung up on "joining" either of those ranges though. Not right away anyway. I just got into rifle shooting last season... my (admittedly newb, take it with a grain of salt) advice, is to practice at your local range at whatever distances are available to you... and though it may feel counter-intuitive, even if you don't feel "ready", as long as you're hitting the target consistently, just sign up for some matches at one or both of those 600-yd ranges. Both of them have a decent schedule of NRA-sanctioned matches to accommodate various rifle sports, and you can sign up for matches even if you're not a range member. At first, I thought it would be soooo intimidating and terribly stressful to essentially get your practice in DURING a match, but people are super-friendly. Just make sure you set your scope in advance to that distance so you can get dialed in fast. (NRA-sanctioned matches, I've noticed, move pretty efficiently - people will not wait while you futz around with the equipment). If you really get obsessed, you could literally be shooting once or twice a month between both of those ranges'' match schedules, for 3 seasons of the year. Frankly, you could get LOADS of practice in that way without even joining a range.
  12. Do you want us to lock down this thread then? Sounds like you're no longer in selling mode, correct?
  13. Cumberland Rifleman in Millville, NJ is the one with 600 yards. @sroc112 - you might want to look at this recent thread, which lists several others... Long range ranges? - Precision Rifle - New Jersey Gun Forums (njgunforums.com) Or THIS older thread which mentions a couple others... Any 600+ yard range in NJ or PA but near NJ? - Ranges & Gun Shops - New Jersey Gun Forums (njgunforums.com) Most of the long-distance topics are under the "Rifle" forum btw.
  14. And we're happy to have you here! Welcome.
  15. I know, right?! I just got back from my curbside pick-up. I bought almost entirely shelf-stable preps (pasta, canned goods, etc.) - my original online order totalled 344. and after all the sales discounts, it was only 183. at pick-up! (Can't beat that with a stick! I'm still flushed with shopping victory!!) I usually hit this sale twice-annually (they run it in January, and again in early summer) to "top off" my supplies. So far, I'm staying true to my goal of always having a minimum of 3 months' worth of food in the house - without buying those pricey dehydrated meals (that I would probably never even eat). I would encourage others to check out the sale! It's a good one.
