Howdy from Texas

Hi guys and girls!

 

I'm working on a project off up here through the spring (off and on), so I'll be spending Tue-Thur here in Princeton most weeks.

 

Luckily I did a little research before I showed up with a couple pistols day one. I knew NJ has a limited concealed carry program, but didn't realize they don't recognize any other states' licenses. As in Texas recognizes New Jersey permits but not vice-versa. I usually just check 'em in my luggage and load up on the other side in the baggage claim bathroom.

 

Anyway, I feel a little naked but I'll make due I guess. I've been shooting since I was about 6 yrs old so it's a completely new environment to me up here and a I'm a little "gun shy" (pun intended, lol). I'm trying to figure out what I can bring with me each week, at least to the hotel. I'm kinda paranoid after hearing someone got a felony just for carrying a pocket knife.

 

I have a couple of newbie NJ questions:

1) What's a good quick source to understand what travelers can bring? transport?

2) Are there any ranges I can rent something to shoot on a week night if I'm bored? (Princeton area, or within reasonable distance)

 

 

Y'all have a beautiful state, hoping you get some more decisions to go your way on the arms front!

Can Texas just invade us depose our government and establish a freedom-loving democracy? :p

I think my cul-de-sac alone could. :icon_lol: All joking aside I do feel for you guys.

 

Here's some clips from a local machine gun shoot in Leona (even has a mini-gun 9 minutes in)...

 

It makes me smile every time I watch it.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
