Here's your recipe. 1) Get a bottle of whiskey 2) Drink the whiskey.

Very recently used the services of Gunsitters in Whippany. (www.gunsitters.com). Wanted to share my positive experience. Also note they are featured on the 4/30 Gun For Hire podcast #309. Listen to it as there is a lot of good information discussed. I have no affiliation with them other than being a new customer. Last month I and my family (kids, grandkids, etc.) had plans to go to Walt Disney World in Florida for 8 days total. I have been familiar with Gunsitteres for several years based on their ads in the ANJRPC newletter and NJSafeCon booth but had not previously had occasion to use them. For this trip, given the distance and time I was going to be away, became very concerned about the safekeeping of my firearms while I was going to be away. Was planning to bring my firearms to Gunsitters (a 50 mile drive each way for me) a week or two in advance of the trip. However, my wife arranged for a family member to stay at the house while we were going to be away, so I held off. However, a two days before the trip that fell through and it was not clear who if anyone would be watching the house or to what extent. So I became very concerned and the day before departure called Gunsitters. Spoke to Eric who was very helpful. Within two hours I arrived at Gunsitters with my firearms. The paperwork process was straight forward. It helps if you bring a list of your firearm make, model, and serial numbers as that information needs to be filled out. I rented one of their lockers(the $75/month size) in their underground vault. It was sufficent to hold my 4 handguns in cases and can accommodate approx 5 long guns with scopes, etc in their cases. (If you use just gun socks, could fit many more.) You yourself will be escorted into the vault and place your firearms into the locker. They never leave your sight during this process. Their employee then places a padlock on the locker and provides you both of the keys to the lock. Only you possess the keys. They retain your payment info as part of the contract, so it will auto-renew each month. This is a good thing in case you can't get back there promptly or, of course, if you have longer term storage needs. They are located on Route 10 East (East of Route 287) and are in the Pine Plaza strip mall. Their storefront is to the left of The Pancake House. Park in an available mall parking spot. Once you discuss your needs and complete the paperwork, their employee will assist you in carrying the firearms from your car into their facility. (I appreciated that as I would have felt very uncomfortable carrying my firearms though a mall parking lot by myself.) Note my GPS(Google Maps) first took me to the REAR loading dock area of the mall. That was not correct. While on vacation I had great peace of mind knowing my firearms were securely stored. I did retain one pistol in my pistol safe at home so that I would have a firearm available to me upon my return until I retrieved the rest. Three weeks later, I called Gunsitters and gave them a heads up that I would be coming to retrieve my firearms. The process was quick and their employee again assisted me in carrying them to my vehicle. I departed promptly(No pancakes, lol) and headed home. They provide a wide range of services for a variety of personal situations. My lesson learned from my experience is: if you think you have a need to store your firearms(e.g. vacation, home remodeling, other, etc), do not procrastinate. Hope you found this helpful and informative.

Jesus Christ, wash your face. There is brown stuff all over your nose.

Getting sidetracked: Anthony, I can't wait for the range expansion! I was just there the other day and am excited to see construction going on. Also, you're looking good man! You've gotten quite fit since the time I first met you during the Trenton rallies in 2013. Back to the FB post: I like seeing some positivity and rallying for a change, but he seems so insincere..

A bald, no cuts, no logo caspian slide went into the top end of my custom 2011 build.

There's definitely a backlash. I think the cause is multi-faceted. 1) It may seem great when "offensive" speech is used as a weapon against your opponent. But at some point you realize what you thought was a weapon you controlled is just a ticking bomb waiting to go off. This means that... 1a) Ramping up the "every offense taken is the end of the world" rhetoric now means that tenure is worth jack shit in many instances if you have offended the student body, tiwtter, facebook, or some other random population. 1b) Academia is in very large part, fashion, and departing from the current trend can make one unpopular, and maximum offendedness makes that extra dangeroud. 2) Even without opposition and malice, it is limiting intelligent discussion of certain subjects. Even for the SJW types, you can't make progress on the subject if you can't discuss the subject, and discussing the subject is fraught with risk in case anyone takes offense at simply describing injustices/imbalances. 3) If your department is seen as a source of risk rather than scholarly work, your department may go bye bye, even with tenure you are gone.

If you are sending a firearm UPS, it should go to a customer counter, or it should be a driver pick up. UPS store employees aren't UPS employees usually, and they don't count as a common carrier. That means handing them the package is an unexempted transfer.

So I endup on a Pincus thread? Damn.

Looks like I'll be getting a shield instead of an xds, and a P220 instead of a loaded 1911. Thanks for making it an easy decision Springfield, ya sons of bitches.

Agreed on the CZ - I plan on a 75B when I'm out of here at some point so the 16 round mags don't need to be pinned, and my father is off the boat from Brno, CZ so its probably a mandate that I own at least one CZ firearm - obviously I love Beretta pistols as well, however the last time I held the 92FS it felt like a brick in my hand (huge) as I don't have large hands, but I will check it out, I also have been thinking of getting on of the 84/85 "Cheetah" models as my wifes G42 is the only 380 we have right now - I'm thinking the LEM might be the way to go if I want a hammer fired HK - I've done some more reading and it looks like you can use a stronger trigger return spring from the USP or something to make the reset more crisp? I have to do some more reading but it seems like best of both worlds in the HK hammer fired pistols -

thats correct the reset is not discernibly different in a p30 da/sa and a lem....just lem is da only with a light takeup or lighter on the light lem....the grip is more "ergo" on the p30 than the usp..but the reset is also at least twice as long as a usp...

Unfortunately most gun owners won't care I think? I think they were doing the right thing for the owners of the companies and what would help them in the short term. in the long term, they are just hurting the 2A community. In either case, I would not be surprised if they left the state shortly. 9 firearms transfers per year? Damn, that is a slow month for some members here. lol.

I had this difficulty sending a pistol back to S&W. Only 'special' locations take in firearms....the rest treat you like a criminal for even walking in the door. (I will never go back to 'Goin Postal' - yes, that's their name in Atco - for that reason...)

who is this guy? never heard of him. can already tell i dont like him
