Hi everyone!
I'm new to this forum and new to this type of site in general! I like to participate in social shooting events, so there may be a chance we've met. I'm pretty "out of the closet" as far as my love of shooting and firearms goes. I got a pretty late start to my introduction to firearms, as I've only been shooting for the past 8 years or so but I've been diligently trying to make up for lost time. I became a certified instructor so I can introduce family and friends to the shooting sports in a safe and knowledgeable way. I try to be a good "ambassador" of the second amendment and exemplify a warm and welcoming face! I hope to be able to contribute whatever insight I have to this forum.
Oh, and I like shotguns. A lot.

Hello everyone.
I've had my FID card for a couple of years, but didn't apply for a handgun permit until this spring. It took a few months (accept or reject within 30 days "is more what you'd call 'guidelines' than actual rules, welcome aboard" ), but I now have one in hand and plan to make a purchase before the month is up (hopefully my choice will be back in stock soon). I found NJGF while researching a variety of related topics and it's already been a great help, like cluing me into a sale I was unaware of, so I decided to register.

Hello All,
Just joined the forum after peeking in on it from time to time. Looking forward to interacting with like minded individuals on here. Coming from a Gun Friendly State (Nevada) and moving back to NJ (originally from Clifton), i work in NYC and live around a lot of Anti 2nd Amendment people in Hasbrouck Heights, it gets fustrating to say the least. Looking forward to absorbing some wisdom and having spirted conversations with you guys.

I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism. 1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that. 2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar. 3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty. It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters. 4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events. This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. -
I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
