I think more people probably leave this state due to over-taxation than due to illegal(yes, they are illegal) gun laws.

Meet Allie! Brought her home on Saturday and she is fitting right in already. She is a rescue, they said part lab part boxer, whatever she is she is having a blast in her forever home!

As soon as you said "popular press" I immediately railed against the idea. Anything the media likes, is wrong.

Hey my pleasure! I did a ton of research on my AR build so every part is well thought out. You won't regret it. If you'd like any other advice or recommendations for your AR, please let me know.

Went with this. Thank you

So I bought my first house and as I start on various projects I'm coming up with questions. Generally everyone here impresses me with their practical knowledge, so figured I'd start asking "how do I" or "what do you recommend" questions here. First question - Lower level of the house is all concrete block (a 2 car garage with a walkway to a smaller workshop area, and then separated by a concrete block wall from a one car garage. The workshop had a bunch of shelving affixed to the wall that was all dry-rotted crumbly wood from the 70's with really odd shapes, so I tore it all off the walls. The wood pulled away from the concrete fasteners, so the wall is still sprinkled with probably a hundred or so concrete fasteners. The fasteners look like big nails with spiral grooves running down the length of them - like these, only longer and rustier: So after getting all the wood down, I started to take a crowbar to the fasteners and found that they don't smoothly pull out of the concrete block wall, they *explode* out in a shower of concrete dust and leave a crater in the wall. I'm concerned that pulling out a hundred of them out with the resulting craters might actually weaken the wall. Any suggestion on how I get these out without turning the wall into a moonscape? My first thought is to get an abrasive cutoff wheel and just cut them all off flush with the wall instead of trying to pull them out.

http://www.nj2as.org/ramsey_range_where_was_anjrpc_and_nra?utm_campaign=ramsey_range&utm_medium=email&utm_source=nj2as NJ2AS put out an article essentially saying that while they were out busting their asses up in Ramsey, the NRA & ANJRPC were totally uninvolved. I actually joined the NJ2AS during the Ramsey case bc they seemed to be the only ones doing much of anything in this state. Needless to say, it’s painfully disappointing to see such a lack of cooperation for gun rights here. Truly sad.

That's all the reason more why Kim G. needs to get moving with her campaign and get her message out there about the evils of Murphy. He's been campaigning since September of 2016 and rolling up endorsements. Kim has been hidden by the large shadow cast by Christie. Another poll with Murphy in the lead, and the election is six weeks away. http://observer.com/2017/09/murphy-ahead-by-19-points-over-guadagno-in-new-poll/

OK, what if the estimate is off by a full 50%? (which I think is really doubtful, but let's say it was...) So, hypothetically, what if it were only 400-500,000 gun owners in this state? Activating only 5% would still be 20-25,000 angry, letter-writing, phone-calling, donating, protesting, campaigning 2A activists. What is there now? Realistically, maybe only hundreds? Believe me, I'm not a pie-in-the-sky person. I don't see myself retiring in NJ. But right now, I have an elderly parent here, so this is where I need to be - might as well fight to make it decent is my attitude. That report you quoted is only MORE reason why Murphy can and should be defeated. To see a stat like that while at the same time he's pushing for yet more expensive programs would show ANY reasonable person (regardless of 2A stance) that this guy could be the final deathblow for the state. He won't even commit to keeping a cap on property taxes, and he wants to raise every other tax imaginable - and it still won't pay for everything he's proposing. 2A is just one issue... it's about time NJ property owners reared up and took back their damn state! In fact, it's overdue.

Yes, it makes sense & DOLLARS! The misinformation campaign launched by a single individual in a vain attempt to cover his own public meddling in a business affair in which he never consulted with the proposed range owner, a juvenile provocateur if you will, rises to the level of slander. To release such slanderous balderdash the day prior to the largest Second Amendment event of the entire year and then boycott the event (NJSAFE) would lead any normal-thinking person to believe that any "problem" rests solely in the mind of the provocateur. Most NJ gun owners get somewhat emotional when looking to assign blame on why things (especially gun rights) in NJ aren't instantly better. Their emotions can cloud their judgement. Cooler heads prevailed & some "Damage Control" was called for so Joe Average attendee got both sides of the story instead of watching an unanswered salvo drop out of the sky. At the end of the day, everyone trying to rally the troops to fight the Anti's was either at NJSAFE or at work or had a personal/family reason for not attending (like our own Dan Grdovic, a Mod here, who was celebrating his wedding anniversary). Dan not being there didn't stop the Coalition from having two Trustees & four committee people there as well as several rank & file members helping at the registration table, greeting area, and anywhere else John Willett needed help! The rest of the BS here & on Facebook is JUST NOISE. A mere distraction to everyone else. "Going NUCLEAR" is costing him a great deal. Forget about burning bridges, because they were JDAM'ed into oblivion. If you're the only guy screaming & carrying-on like a wild man, pretty soon the folks in white coats will come-a-callin'. I've probably said more than I should've, but since I'm blocked from responding to some of the Facebook pages that have been shown to me, I felt I needed to clear the air. Sorry for the rant. Now let's get off our rumor-grinding soap boxes & kick some more Anti ass TOGETHER! Rosey http://www.cnjfo.com/join-us

As far as nails go, as said, just grind them off. Patch with mortar if needed. Repaint wall. Done.

You won't need to support anything. There is no weight on the window otherwise it would have collapsed a long time ago. Remove window and cut the block underneath with a mason blade on your circular saw. Cut each side even with opening. Punch out block with hammer. Trim edges with a chisel. Install door and jamb. Done.

Tenth round not feeding, magazine problem. Gun fired out of battery most likely to being dirty. Ammo the most likely cause. I have seen this more than once. When 22 brass gets ejected and the brass has significant signs of dirt, it is time to clean the receiver and bore. 22LR is a dirty round to start, keeping it to a minimum is key to keep the gun running.

1: Yes, try an angle grinder; that may be a better idea.. 2: I Would advise against doing it yourself. You really have to see if that wall is holding weight. If so, it has to be properly braced to support the load as the hole youd be knocking in the wall is probably going to be larger than the window.

have had all of these, can't go wrong with any of them if i had to choose one i like the Vtac the best.

Nighthawk GRP 2 tone custom order.

Congrats Dave, Nighthawk Custom makes a great 1911..enjoy!

Well based on me running out of ammo due to re-shoot and not checking boxes of ammo to see if they were full, no one was running 45 that i could find but there was plenty of 40 to be had..so i must say it appears to be hanging around for while..

Good choice Zeke. I will be getting the same for my LaRue.

Sounds like it may have fired partially out of battery..

Ostensibly, this is to prevent young people (mostly girls) from anorexia and other eating disorders... not just the models themselves, but those who emulate them. I can understand the first concern, as some of these young models have handlers (and parents) that are no better than pimps really. But as far as protecting the general population of young people, I'm not sure I buy it. My late mother was a psych nurse on an eating disorders unit --- her experience was this: scratch the surface of those patients' psyches and you nearly ALWAYS found some terrible sick abuse, usually sexual abuse. That's why those kids starve themselves to death --- not because they want to look like the models they see in Vogue. Setting these weight standards is gaining traction in the popular press... but I'm doubtful it's serving any real purpose other than making some activists "feel good."

@voyager9 and @High Exposure went with vcas. Thank you

If the position is to remain underground and invisible as to never surface, except when asking for money, they are doing a bang-up job. I have heard this line before, about how they are 'working behind the scenes' with so called legislators or some such. Funniest joke was how they proclaimed some HUGE victory for CCW in NJ when Christie changed the rules slightly regarding verified threats. Has there been some increase--ANY increase at all in CCW permits issued in NJ? Anyone? Bueller? I am sure you will be treated to more tales and pleas for money of how ANJRPC and NRA are fighting for your rights in NJ next year, when the Hillary Clinton/Murphy Steamroller of Revenge gives you mandatory registration, ammo purchase limits, confiscation, home inspection, week long courses at your expense to even touch a gun, etc.

Attero Arms Bravo Mount: https://www.atteroarms.com/?shopp_product=bravo-mount It replaces the standard rear sight. It was easy to install and has been rock solid. There is an integral BUIS blade type rear sight built into the mount that sits lower 1/3 in your FOV and will cowitness.

Or at an Antifa/Black Lives Matter rally.

Should be renamed the Maxim 47

Actually I'm appalled at the company for even engineering this POS! It brings a magnifying glass & the opinion of every 2-bit hack on the internet to write about the laws being skirted, and muzzleloaders not being considered firearms. It's like leaving a dirty diaper on Main Street. Everybody sees it, and now someone has to "clean it up"! WTF! What if the BATF&E comes out with a proposal to recognize muzzleloaders as firearms, citing NJ law as an example?? This sort of notoriety we don't need IMHO!

The Blues Brothers movie has played an important role in my car choices. I say yes

@Shawnmoore81, I got my "Red Wings" when I was drunk in Mexico.
