A bobcat somehow got into a home in Long Valley, NJ. I'd post the text from the article, but it won't let me copy and past. I've read they can be extremely ferocious. Would that qualify for a carry permit?

Big difference between bobcats and mountain lions. Bobcats are  13-30 lbs up to around 21 inches high, have a short tail, and pointed ears.  Can look like a very large house cat, including colorings.  I have one in the neighborhood, been taking out all the woodchucks and rabbits.  Will not touch the raccoon or skunks.  Been chasing new born fawns as well.

That looks like a stray cat that chills in my backyard only slightly bigger.  

 

Couldnt you just kick em if they attack or get feisty?  

 

Speaking of which i found out that my next door neighbors been shooting raccoons and skunks with an air rifle.  Pretty sure my other neighbors have been cheering him on lol.  Ive seen him tote it around and its hilarious hearing him cursing in italian chasing pests off his property

Pretty cool. There was one caught on a trail cam in Warren County recently also. They have been making a come back in recent years. I hope to see.one in NJ one day. I've seen one in the wild once in Shenandoah VA.

Just go down to Carney's Point. Apparently, that place is teaming with wild cats. :)

Here kitty kitty!!!

I've seen many bobcats, and had a few close encounters with them out on the ranch, but I have never seen one in NJ. 

They are very cool animals, although I wouldn't be thrilled with one walking INTO my house.

      Yup I see. Looks like right now you can only purchase the 2023-2024 permit still. I assume won't be able to purchase 24-25 season permit until July.

      US Law Shield and email changes

      By Grima Squeakersen · Posted

      Just a heads-up for anyone who might also be in this situation. I joined USLS mid-April of 2022. Some time after renewing for 2023, I changed email providers, and dutifully reflected my new address on my account page. So, I have been anticipating renewal alerts at my new address, but those never arrived. I logged in to my account the other day, and was surprised to see that my subscription expired that same day. I went to my account main information page, confimed that my email address was correct, then went to the billing page, which showed my previous two payments, but which did not give me any apparent way to pay up for the new year. I requested support using the Customer Service form on the web site, but received no reply. Today I called their support number. Apparently changing the email address from my view of my account page did nothing to change the address that they use internally for billing purposes, including expiration notifications. Maybe they also use that address for replies to the support form, even if a different email address is entered there. Also, my account was set up to auto-renew and charge my credit card without my intervention, but that setting did not show on my account page in any obvious way. So, if you have USLS and have changed your email address since you last renewed, you might want to give them a call to ensure that they send renewal information to your correct address. The prospect of having legal coverage lapse while carrying in NJ was, for me, a less that confidence inspiring experience. I will note that the telephone-based customer service was excellent.

      Colorado Goes For Broke On Gun Ban

      By Grima Squeakersen · Posted

      F*n imbeciles. They know damned well (or should) that, even if passed by the Colorado Senate and signed into law, virtually that entire load of crap is certain to fail Bruen/Heller scrutiny, and probably sooner, rather than later (SCOTUS). What a monumental waste of time (of course, how much can a dip$h*t's time be worth, anyway?) and energy. I passed through Colorado a few times in the 70s, and visited some clients there in the 80's & 90's, and, even by the end of that period, I had the impression that it was politically fairly conservative (with a few exceptions such as Aspen). WTF happened?
