Adding to JohnnyB's list... if an FFL or gun store is small and therefore charges for monthly storage on transfers, that policy should certainly be in writing, preferably on their own website and if they don't have one, then on the other sites they advertise on (like Gunbroker, etc.) Really, ALL transactional policies should be in print.

I've been told by an "authority" recently that compacted gravel is no longer considered permeable. I wanted to strangle the guy and shout "TELL THAT TO THE FUCKING GRASS THAT'S GROWING THROUGH IT!!!

Does boxing really need all these weight classes and organizations. Let's get rid of Junior Flyweight (108), Junior Batamweight (115), and Junior Featherweight/Super Batanweight (122) for a start. Then we would have Strawweight 105, Flyweight 112, Bantamweight 118, Featherweight 126, and Super Featherweight 130. Lower the weight of Featherweight to 124. 6 pounds is plenty small of a gap between divisions at those weights. High school wrestling only has 5 weights 130 and below does boxing really need 8? After that they can fix the rest of the classes and get rid of some more. Also why do we need IBF, WBC, WBA, WBO, IBO, and Ring Champions. The IBF started the crap in 1983. Then came WBO. Now there are even more. Ring lost all credibility when bought by Golden Boy. Let's go back to just WBA and WBC. This way we can have drama of champion vs champion without all the other fake champions like Joseph Parker WBO Heavyweight Champion. Wouldn't it be nice to have no more than 14 weight classes and 28 champions? Than the mess we have now that no one can keep up with. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

you recycled it..

Got out to the range this morning. Straight out of the box, no cleaning, 300 rounds with reloads without a single hickup. The trigger is a bit iffy for my taste but i do have a prp drop in on the way. I think i found my new CDP gun.

I've been to 1000 yard ranges and it's exciting until the shooting starts. There will be guys with $15-20k invested and none of them hit a big ass cardboard box, much less a braggable target. reminds me of the first time I walked into a curling match prior to my college hockey game. Whole team was pumped, then the curling match actually started. Much ado about nothing.

Nj scheme will not pass constitutional scrutiny

I snap a photo of each one including serial number when I buy it. They go in a folder on my computer - which is backed up off site. No list but if I ever need one it would be easy to come up with one.

Back when the forum started, folks found this program called Gun Safe, or something like that, which was a fairly simple database program, but was flexible enough. Currently I keep a spreadsheet, make/model/year/distiguising features/ purchase price, serial number, dob (if known). I then try to routeinely update the values. Prior to that I had a more complicated sheet that even tracked from whom purchased, or sold, and gains/losses per transaction. During routine cleaning, I take pics of them all. Spreadsheet is cool but I will start writing in a notebook. Either email it to yourself securely, and not to a gmail account, or keep a flash drive and a burned dvd somewhere safe. Most important use of the sheet.... know the serials in case they get stolen.... OR.... more likely.... god forbid when you pass away, make sure your next of kin or wifey/husband/partner knows about the list.... and knows what you actually have and what the value is.... so they don't trade it in at a gun buyback!. Depending on the strength of your tinfoil hat.... Google Drive/Microsoft and others give you free cloud storage space for one reason... so they can learn about you. (for better advertising of course).

In my mind it's not a "private" sale when everyone and their brother knows about it. Also, you have a P2P that you just got so it did not seem to fit in the point I was making.

Don't worry, if they get lost or stolen the State will be able to tell you what you had.

Like I said , depends on what kind of structures and condition they are. An old outhouse or garage probly not. Big old barn, very possible. For example http://www.old-barn-wood.com/ It is an actual industry.

Who doesn't have a female only BR?

For ffl: fees and accurate hours. For range: rules. And if they have female only bathrooms. We bring Mrs. Z friends and introduce them to firearms. RAF is the closest.( I have high hopes for Legacy) And they will have an exceptional buzz worthy time unless they have to potty. If it's a dump guy's deal with it. The ladies, it's a deterrent, and definitely a topic on the ride home. If the ranges were smert, they would aptly cater to this rising demographic.

Of whom would you give the power to say "idiot " or " not idiot"?

Below ground oil tanks could be an issue.

After all is said and done and you presumably have the property look into saving or even making money on the tear downs. Depending on what you have there are outfits out there that are looking for old wood to salvage, wood beams, flooring, siding ...

Canelo's speed could give Triple G some problems. Can def see Canelo outpointing Triple G. Triple G badely won his last fight and that guy was no Canelo. Either way, it's going to be a fantastic fight. Hopefully they stack the undercards like they did last night. All the undercards were quality, entertaining fights

Use cards asap. Set number of days as per bk agreement to use them.

Johnny listed most everything I thought of posting. For a commercial range, I'd certainly be interested in the policies for keeping my brass, using reloads or factory ammo brought in from outside, and rentals (under what conditions can a shooter come in by themselves and rent--this is becoming a bigger issue of late with NJ ranges.) Also, I'd be interested in whether or not they allow rapid fire shooting, reloads on the clock, and whether there are any circumstances under which holster work would be allowed. I have a hunch that ranges will either want to post an outright prohibition on those activities, or remain silent, so they could determine on a case-by-case basis who is allowed to do what, but it's still a point of curiosity. Finally, for a commercial range, I'd want to see a complete list of rentals available. I've only gone to commercial ranges to rent guns I'm considering for purchase. Even if the retail side of the operation can't keep up with an online inventory of what they have for sale, it shouldn't be that hard to keep a listing of what they have available to rent.

Their website should be complete and MUST have. Hours Cost for transfers and NICs A feedback system where customers can rate their experience. Whether a Gunsmith is on premises Pics of the showroom. It would be nice to have, List of current inventory List of sales and specials Site updated often list of common gunsmith charges Must haves for a range, Full description and pics Rules and regulations clearly defined Policy regarding brass, reloads and rentals I threw this together quickly but will edit as I think of more.

"You can buy a 80%lower and the other 20 percent and assemble with no background check or restriction." Not true in NJ. You must be a licensed gun manufacturer to complete an 80% lower in the PRNJ. "you can sell privately to another citizen of the state no checks or bounds. That's wild to me." While no NICS check for private sales in NJ, You must have a NJFID card. A bit more than a NICS check to get that, You must complete 2 NJ COE's. Only long arms that are configured to be legal here may be sold privately. No hand guns. Sure sounds like restrictions to me! You want MORE RESTRICTIONS?

Didn't read your links but YES, I say Yes I can see this happening. To be technical the gun was locked in battery, the primer detonated (yes the detonate not burn) driving the whole cartridge down the barrel and jamming the mouth of the cartridge past the headspace shoulder into the little freebore that 9mm pistols have. My mistake you said it drove the cartridge down the barrel I read incorrectly the bullet. My bad you're right. That is a reasonable senario

Couldn't agree more. The AKC has done a disservice with regard to the visuals vs the health and abilities of the breeds. The breeder that Bruno came from regularly introduces german stock into their lines to maintain the original purposes based on "SV" guidelines, arguably the most defined and rigorous classification on the planet. The Germans, of course. 'Germany being the founders of our breed just over a hundred years ago and they have established the most comprehensive system of any other breed in the world. ' 'The German SV system requires for showing and breeding DNA parentage, microchip identification, to meet strict conformational criteria according to the German breed standard, hip and elbow grades and assessment of the spine along with formal character assessment, endurance test of 20 kilometers gaiting, IPO test of courage, tracking and obedience and a very demanding breed survey (korung).' Bruno competed in "Schutzhund" for a couple of years, he loved it. Me, not so much. Way time consuming. Now he's content to walk in the woods, chase deer and eat grass fed aged Angus from a friend's upstate farm on occasion.

I hate to say it but Americans messed up dogs bloodlines pretty bad

Wilder is a joke. The fight I am talking about is with the real heavyweight champ Tyson Fury. Yes he is a nut job and he deservedly was stripped of his title however Joshua can not be the champ without beating the man. If Fury gets back into the shape he was in against Klitchko he will soundly beat Joshua. What makes it especially interesting is the White Irish Traveller vs the Black Englishman. GGG will destroy Canelo. This time the forum instead of ESPN screwed me on the outcome thank you. Ward did not win that fight. Next fight Kovelov will knock out Ward. Teddy Atlas continues to show why he is the jackass of boxing. He leaves GGG off his top 10 pound for pound list and puts Lomachenko at the top. While I like Lomachenko and he deserves top 5 GGG has won 4x the amount of fights and is still undefeated. How does Teddy Atlas still have a job? http://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/18593385/why-left-gennady-golovkin-my-pound-pound-list Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

That was a sparring session for Canelo. Chavez shamed the family name with that fight. I think GGG will easily beat Canelo though

Private sales of long guns in NJ don't require a NICS check? What's your point? Is it a Right or isn't it?

my 1st handgun was the ruger redhawk 44Mag 7.5 just a whole bunch of revolver fun.. they like fruit.. Congratz have fun.

LOL...If i can make it Il bring some subs for ya'll!

I joined a few years ago when it was considerably less expensive. Being retired I usually go during the week and make one less person showing up on weekends. Tuesday there were 5 people on the General Purpose Range and that was it. It was down to two when I left. I've been there in beautiful weather during the week and I'm the only person there. The term "long range" is relative. Many have never shot ARs and AKs farther than 25 yds on an indoor range. Most of my needs can be met with a 300 yd range. I can understand there are few, very few, who need more.

If you don't know someone who's a member and want to look around the easiest way to look around is on a match day. Best is to shoot the match and you'll have plenty of people there to answer quustions.

Trump, or someone much more pro-2A in the Trump administration needs to instruct the Justice Department to start prosecuting anti-2A states like NJ, NY CA etc.

We couldn't take not having a four legged member of the family. Barley joined us a week ago.

I got my hands on a copy of Crane's MLOK v KeyMod report for NAVSEA. It's a 43 page .pdf and it was emailed to me. I can't figure out how to post it, but here is the final conclusions page:

Get there before 8am, they open their doors at 8 and there are atleast 10 people already waiting on a nice day, start shooting at 8:30. I will be there tomorrow around 7:30 myself. Something I find very useful, go to lowes and for $15 get a garden auger and put it on a cordless drill, perfect size for the 1x3 target poles they sell, drills holes in under 30 seconds.

They're just so f'ing beautiful and intelligent I can't take it. There's a theory that if it wasn't for that she wolf that reckoned 30,000 years ago that it was better to share the warmth of the fire and the food scraps of the humans than to bite them, we wouldn't have had the hunting skills to provide enough protein to feed the evolution of our large brains. Our paths were irretrievably intertwined when she timidly crawled into that cave 30 millennia ago. Every time I walk in the woods with him, take off his leash and he walks next to me, I feel that kindred spirit.

You are completely correct. He loves couches, his one indulgence

people suck, dogs are awesome, catn we just look at cute woofies?

I used to watch A LOT of fight and follow boxing closely. My father inlaw and I would watch almost all the HBO, Showtime and PPVs. We went to club level fights and a few major ones. We watched in awe as Juan Migual Marquez fought some unknown new comer named Manny Pacqiao. Watched all three Gatti/Ward fights. Remember when Cotto had hair and fought on HBO's "Boxing After Dark" for the up and coming rising names. Many of our favorites rose to the top. Only fighting once every year or so. We didn't lose interest but the fights and fighters just weren't what they were 10 - 20 years ago. Also MMA became a mainstream thing and as much as we tried, we couldn't get into it. My father inlaw passed suddenly and unexpectedly six months ago. Miss watching fights with him. I still go over to my inlaw's home to watch fights, spend some time with my mother inlaw and in a way my father inlaw as well. I hope some new and exciting fignters come up. I've wached almost every Triple G fight and he is prob one if the more exciting fighters to watch right now.

Love me my long hair GSD, Bruno

Rant on, One of the greatest marketing ploys ever pulled off on a population/culture/race has to be the democrats continued enslavement of African-Americans. There was a little skirmish fought back in the 19th century by northern REPUBLICANS against southern DEMOCRATS that were perpetuating the crime against humanity that was slavery. To be fair, The Union wanted workers for the nascent industrialization of the big cities of the north while the entrenched agriculture economy based in human trafficking of the south wanted to maintain the status quo. Nonetheless, in a brilliant shell game, the enslavers convinced the formerly enslaved that democrats were their champions. Against all common sense an entire demographic bought this "fake news" and their liberators were cast as their oppressors. Fast forward to today. Every dead or dying community in the United States has been under Democratic rule for at least 50 years. The constituents of these communities continue to be enslaved by the ones that institutionalized slavery 300 years ago. This demographic has traded independence and self reliance for their votes every November. Their taskmasters reward those votes by perpetuating the modern day chains of entitlements, welfare and other institutionalized forms of dependence. The plan is the same as it was 300 years ago; To gain wealth, power and self-perpetuity on the back of those you enslave. Whether you shackle and chain people or trap them in dangerous and oppressed ghettos, you doom generations of a demographic/culture/race to dependence that they repay with votes. It's so plain to see that it's pathetic. Those that have gainful employment and create wealth, actually fund their own demise through taxes they pay. Taxes that those in power use to buy votes from the constituents conditioned to viewthe wealth-creators as the enemy. It takes "taxation without representation" to a whole new level. As they say, our forefathers would be shooting by now.

I love this: Everyone realizes that Congress has quite a bit on their plates right now, but the reality is they always have a lot on their plates... BS. The ******* work two or three days a week and spend the rest of the time fund raising in their districts and elsewhere -- anywhere but in DC. The House Judiciary Committee has six more Republicans than Democrats. Get to work you f-ing bums.

Thats not how I see it. Rushing things in the first 100 days is a bad idea. It entices the opposition to fight harder to prove they are not push overs, look what happened with all the "big ideas" so far. The huge wins have been changes of policy at ATF and related administration initiatives (yes I know they can change again later) and the SCOTUS stuff. The SCOTUS nuclear options use was a huge tactical mistake on the opposition side because they should have saved that in case a second judge was up for nomination, now it opens the door for changing the court balance much easier in the next 4 years. I much rather wait and see some of those pro-gun changes pushed closer to mid term elections when vulnerable sits can be pressured. I much rather see some court cases go to SCOTUS because that is far more influential long term then laws that can be changed at the drop of a hat. The carry law thing .. that is actually pretty bad when it comes to states rights and the wrong way to go about it in my view. Build a court majority, bring up the right cases and get it on the books that way for a long long time. Sure, longer harder fight, but the right way to win it, quick cheap wins never last.

Looks like the USSOCOM selected MLOK. http://soldiersystems.net/2017/03/31/ussocom-selects-m-lok-for-weapon-programs/ Of additional note, the US Army directed H&K to integrate an M-LOK rail (designed by Geissele) on the new Compact Semi-Automatic Sniper System rifle which is an indication of wider DOD adoption of M-Lok.
