    And THIS is why you are so misinformed on most topics:

    Eight out of ten people only read the headline

    God this post is so facepalm worthy. So because I listen to Fox News headlines on satellite radio, that's it? I read multiple sources to get information on what's happening. And not from sites that show their bias in their names like a lot of what I see get posted.

    The problem is you are generalizing and entire network based on its commentary..

    Base it on its news... IE Shepard Smith would be a prime example.

    on MSNBC and CNN the news department is the commentary.

    Do you watch fox?

    I listen to Fox News Headlines on satellite radio. It's exactly what I want where they just go over headlines and skip the biased analysis part that all news stations do.

    Believe it. The Civil War divided many families against each other in both north and south, and that included killing each other.

    As for Fox News being 'biased', it depends on your definition of 'bias'. In the last 50 years, being biased usually means you're not progressive.

    Let's see; ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, MSNBC, Washington Post, NY Times ... neutral.

    Fox News: biased.

    I'm comfortable with that ratio. Are progressives?

    All major networks are biased. That's just how the news has become these days. People focus more on the news if there's shocking topics that get them angry. Most are full of shit.

    I'm not surprised there are so many lurkers. It's pretty common for forums. I also think with guns constantly in the news, there are also just a lot of curious people who are new to the topic. And not everyone believes everything from both sides of the spectrum news stations. Asking questions to people who don't try to make money off of scare tactics seems a good way to go. This forum has been very helpful when it comes to my gun questions and I appreciate it.

    Eh, one of my two references is extremely liberal. She had no problem signing off on it. Just be straight up. "Hey, I want to get into target shooting as a sport. Could you sign off as a reference so I can get my equipment?" I would 100% expect all of my liberal friends to even be a reference if I asked. You might be surprised.

    Question 11e on the 4473 specifically states that use of marijuana is a disqualifier under Federal law for firearms ownership.  Being just about all firearms transfers have to go through a FFL in NJ.  If you want to use marijuana no guns for you as it stands.

    This has been brought up before.

    Sounds like they'd have to change a lot of laws and policies to no longer include marijuana.

    Did you know that there is an online complaint form for the Board of Medical Examiners that anyone with an axe to grind can fill out?

    https://www.nj.gov/lps/ca2/bme/complaintform/complaints.htm

    When this gets dropped in you get to take a day off work, drive to Trenton  and get sworn in to explain what happened. Is there a similar form where people can complain about a chemist?

    When my customer has a complain, they just email or call my boss directly. A lot easier than that form.

    Which are prescribed by a doctor. Are you a doctor? 

    40,000 die each year in car crashes. How many more from DUI are you OK with?

    Maybe you special snowflakes need to learn how to deal with life's issues instead of self medicating yourself.

    Is that a big problem today with college aged kids?

    You mean like spending MILLIONS on a hoax like Russian collusion?

    Doctors, who are wined and dined by the makers of opiods to push them? Come on, how many countless stories have we heard of doctors getting caught giving out scripts like candy?

    If you are so not okay with 40,000 people dying from DUIs each year now, why haven't you been pushing to ban alcohol?

    Because there aren't tons of conservatives self-medicating with alcohol or pain pills, right?

    ...Is epilepsy a big problem with college aged kids? About 2% of the population has epilepsy so it's a problem for enough people in college. Not sure why college kids are being singled out though.

    You mean like spending millions on investigating Hillary for Benghazi?

    I don’t subscribe to more impaired driving. The stoner’s are doing it now and will continue to do it. I can’t foresee soccer moms getting blazed and confused carpooling now it’s legal to consume. I still don’t see a pathway to eliminating the black market either. People have their sources, they will most likely keep them. New recreational users might increase consumption by 10%?

    I ask this of you, once it’s legal, are you gonna go wear tie dye and party like a rockstar? How about your family, friends, coworkers etc?

    Why can't you see soccer moms getting blazed? It happens now anyway. There are alcoholics. There are soccer moms that are zombies on Xanax. Pain pill addicts. But weed, which isn't as bad as all those, is the one that should be banned?

    For Christ's sake, it's weed. Not LSD, not heroin. People from hippies to business people smoke it now. And yes, if it eventually becomes federally legal, I would happily chill on my deck in nice weather, light one up, and relax. And if any of my family, friends or co-workers decide to do something similar, I don't care because it's not my business.

    I'VE shot at bobs and hagues. i didn't much care for hagues due to poor lighting and ventilation in the range. liked the people there though. polite, and knowledgable. same goes for bobs people, but his range is very nice..

    From Absecon, you could get to Shooters or Full Metal Jacket in just as much time as it'd take to get to Deptford. FMJ have been fantastic and are clearly huge supporters of 2A rights. Not a huge selection there since it's a smaller place but they'll order anything and get it quick. Shooters I have mixed opinions on. Huge selection, prices are higher. Staff has been pretty friendly and helpful. Except for one guy who tried to prevent me from shooting my Wolf ammo because "Wolf only sells steel core ammo". And refused to believe me about Wolf Gold being a thing despite having 100 rounds in my bag. This was the guy giving the range safety briefings too.

    All that being said, I'll still go to 129. We have a good rapport with the staff there. The 100 yard indoor range is great. They let me shoot as long as I want. Have fixed stuff for free that's not complicated. And the RO's do a great job helping out new shooters do everything safely. Do I think the safety check, or whatever it is, is a good idea? No, but the effect on me is minimal on me at worst.

    If alcohol is legal, I don't see why marijuana should be illegal. Plus we let people have much more power and addictive narcotics that you could actually overdose on. I'm not oblivious to the fact that DUIs and such will go up. That's not shocking. But there's a lot of benefits I believe that will be helpful in the long run. Like reducing dependency on oxycodin and other dangerous opiod painkillers. A solid alternative for a lot of people when it comes to anxiety/PTSD meds which tend to have a lot of nasty side effects. Studies have been published showing it has a significantly positive effect on those with epilepsy. Plus it'll be one less useless thing that the justice system won't be wasting taxpayer money on.

    Anyone try it yet? I'm curious how it performs. I also found it interesting that compared to the 40gr Mini Mags, they have the save velocity at muzzle, 25, 50, 75, and 100 yards, same energy at same distances, but the Mini Mags drop faster. (according to manufacturer data)

    Steel cases sparks more?  

    Never heard of that?  What does that mean exactly?

    Well, steel striking a surface can cause sparks. If that were to occur around some unburnt powder or tinder when outside and it's dry, that could cause fire. Possible, but not likely. Extreme example of steel on steel outside https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk53Bh7PLZE Can't find anything on youtube of a casing causing sparks. Just what I've read from some other forums as guesses.

    I've never used steel cased ammo before so I've never seen if ejected casing cause any problems. But odds are, it comes down to can they make money off of it.

    It may not be exotic but in my short time of shooting, indoor ranges not allowing steel cased or steel core ammo has been common. 129 doesn't allow it, Shooters doesn't allow it, Garden State Shooting Center, Shore Shot, Old Bridge Rifle & Pistol Club, Tactical Training Center, RTSP are all examples of NJ ranges that restrict steel cased and/or steel core ammo. Right across the border in much more free PA has the same issues with steel cased/core ammo. Steel cased the only argument I can find for banning it is it sparks more which can cause a fire outdoors. But as far as steel core, it damages the backstops faster than anything else so I can see why that can get banned.

    Why would what the CASE is made of make a difference???

    You CAN keep your brass....right?

    Yes and I do.

    Only if it doesn’t fall in front of the firing line. Good luck with that. 

    The range officers are pretty cool. Unless it somehow got really far down the range and it's reachable with the broom, they'd probably okay it. Or if you are the only one there and things are slow, I'm sure they'd oblige you if there was some super special brass you fired and want to retrieve.

    Is this an Official NJGF meet with all the privileges that provides Or just couple guys getting together?

    I've never heard of any "official" meets with privileges or anything. Is there something you'd like me to setup for the meetup? I'm down for some friendly competitions.

    What privileges are you referring to?

    The one where Socialists are suspended from the target carriers with paper targets pinned to their chests?

    Probably just a couple of Socialists getting together to decide what other rights they're OK with Murphy taking away.

    @njJoniGuy @Sniper Please stop trolling. This isn't 1A. I put up with personal attacks and general stupidity there but this is a serious thread. You're welcome to come, but act civil. Range 129 isn't the 1A forum either.

    Do you understand the concept of incrementalism? The boiling frog, chipping away, death by a thousand cuts? You want to hear their talk about confiscation?   https://observer.com/2013/05/senators-caught-on-tape-confiscate-confiscate-confiscate/  Wake up Greeny, they have an agenda and thats to dis-arm us. 

    And in that instance, you are more likely to get away with threatening revolution. But threatening over small things instead of educating will persuade no one to become pro 2A.
