Share this with people who think they get it... The young cashier suggested to the much older lady that she should bring her own grocery bags, because plastic bags are not good for the environment. The woman apologized to the young girl and explained, "We didn't have this 'green thing' back in my earlier days." The young clerk responded, "That's our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment for future generations." The older lady said that she was right -- our generation didn't have the"green thing" in its day. The older lady went on to explain: Back then, we returned milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over.So they really were recycled. But we didn't have the "green thing" back in our day. Grocery stores bagged our groceries in brown paper bags that we reused for numerous things. Most memorable besides household garbage bags was the use of brown paper bags as book covers for our school books. This was to ensure that public property (the books provided for our use by the school) was not defaced by our scribblings. Then we were able to personalize our books on the brown paper bags. But, too bad we didn't do the "green thing" back then. We walked up stairs because we didn't have an escalator in every store and office building. We walked to the grocery store and didn't climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time we had to go two blocks. But she was right. We didn't have the "green thing" in our day. Back then we washed the baby's diapers because we didn't have the throw away kind We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy-gobbling machine burning up 220 volts. Wind and solar power really did dry our clothes back in our early days. Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing. But that young lady is right; we didn't have the "green thing" back in our day. Back then we had one TV, or radio, in the house -- not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief (remember them?), not a screen the size of the state of Montana. In the kitchen we blended and stirred by hand because we didn't have electric machines to do everything for us. When we packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, we used wadded up old newspapers to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap. Back then, we didn't fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. We used a push mower that ran on human power. We exercised by working so we didn't need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity. But she's right; we didn't have the "green thing" back then. We drank from a fountain when we were thirsty instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time we had a drink of water. We refilled writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and we replaced the razor blade in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull. But we didn't have the "green thing" back then. Back then, people took the streetcar or a bus and kids rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service in the family's $45,000 SUV or van, which cost what a whole house did before the "green thing." We had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And we didn't need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 23,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest burger joint. But isn't it sad the current generation laments how wasteful we old folks were just because we didn't have the "green thing" back then? We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to piss us off... Especially from a tattooed, multiple pierced smartass who can't make change without the cash register telling them how much. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So just tell them you self identify as Female and if they won't rent to you then you charge them with some left wing bias charge and make lots and lots of money in the socialist people's republic of New Jermany

The only jury that I had been seated on dealt with possession of a weapon / firearm by a "certain person" (convicted felon). We found him guilty. That was the only charge presented to us. He was from Trenton. There was no mention of any permit to carry.

Funny, no one worries about their gun rights in Newark, Asbury, Camden or Trenton....And rarely is anyone prosecuted for the illegal gun. sorry for getting off topic....

I guess everyone is having a hard time believing any expanded rights come to NJ

If you have a FPID they are comfortable that you've had a background check. If you are female they will let you rent. However, with men it's a suicide prevention tactic. I'm not sure how effective it is but more and more ranges are not renting to men when not accompanied by a friend.

1. As long as you were specifically mentioned in the will as the heir and are not a prohibited person you legally own the guns under Federal and NJ law. Long guns and handguns. There is no requirement to register any NJ legal guns you lawfully acquired out of the state. I would hazard a guess this applies to several hundred thousand firearms legally owned in NJ. I wouldn't worry about having a paper trail for your inherited guns. None is required. 2. NJ gun laws do not extend past the borders. If the guns and magazines are legal in PA and you don't bring them to NJ you can't be charged with anything by anyone. You must abide by NJ transport laws once you enter NJ. One important point is NJ law permits you to transport any firearm from one residence to another. That's what you would be doing bringing the guns from PA to NJ. 3. If you feel the guns are secure in PA that's your call. If someone steals it I can't see how you can be liable for anything if you report the guns stolen if and when you fund out they're stolen. 4. Replica guns are just that replicas. They are replicas not guns. If they can't shoot they aren't guns. Yes many function cock, etc like the real thing but they are not guns. Many use parts from the real thing to achieve this functioning but that doesn't make them guns. The receiver or frame that is serialized by the real gun manufacturer is the firearm. Many replicas have "serial numbers" that's only for authentic looks. If the manufacturer made 1000 M3 "Greasegun" replicas all of them most likely will have the same "serial number". There is no law in NJ about possessing a replica gun . Use one in a crime (pull a holdup, threaten someone with it, point it at someone) anywhere and you will charged the same as using the real thing. If you do something stupid like drive around with it on the front seat of your car you will be st the least "scrutinized" by police if caught. If you decide to sling it over your shoulder and walk down the street with it you will probably be arrested and charged with some public nuisance charge but not a firearms charge. The one issue that needs consideration is if that replica has a genuine magazine that holds over 15 rds. If it has been permanently blocked to 15 rds or rendered inoperable, say by welding the follower to the magazine lips, there is no violation. 5. There is nothing unusual or illegal about filling your trunk with guns and driving them to NJ as long as the guns and magazines are legal in NJ. How do you think people move to NJ do it? Transport the guns IAW FOPA. Yes if a LEO anywhere sees the M3 replica you will have to explain what it is and will be delayed. This is a case where if you "don't say anything to police" might wind up with you sitting in a cell for a few hours. If you explain it the same "might" happen but probably not. But you can't be charged with anything. If you're worried about the M3 replica so much how much do you want for it? If it is a replica I'd be interested if the price is right.

Well my first move would to be keep it off the internet.

Also, gun ownership in NJ means you are embarking on a new way of life, to a certain extent. Always remember that in NJ, possession of a firearm is illegal except within certain exceptions. You've a bit of learning to do. here's a few to start you off https://www.newjerseygunlawyers.com/inheriting-firearms-in-new-jersey/ http://www.defendmeinnj.com/how-to-safely-transport-firearm-or-gun-into-new-jersey.html http://www.njsp.org/firearms/transport-firearm.shtml https://www.nraila.org/gun-laws/state-gun-laws/new-jersey/

1. The firearms are yours. Nothing more needs to be done from that perspective; they are now your property that happens to be in Pennsylvania, currently. Your local PD is correct. 2. Apply for/get a FID card. It makes your life easier in NJ, and you need it, as you've found out, for pistol ammo purchase. 3. Do not, under any circumstances, bring the 'banned' firearms into NJ. That's a can of worms you don't ever want to open 4. I don't know a thing about replica firearms 5. for more info see http://www.njsp.org/firearms/firearms-faqs.shtml

Flame cutting is when the flame or pressure or hot gases released in the barrel/cylinder gap in a revolver actually cut a groove in the top strap. It produces a fine line, actually cuts into the top strap right over the barrel/cylinder gap. Early 1900s Colts had a dimple cut into the top strap to alleviate this. This does nothing to alleviate it IMO. It just conceals the issue and the top strap comes from the factory weaker at that point. There are alloy frame revolvers that have a steel shield in the top strap where flame cutting would occur. More on that later. It is most common with magnum (357,41, and 44) and all those super magnums out there (454, 480, 500). Now I'm not that familiar with those super magnums. Flame cutting is very common on S&W K frame 357s. It usually reaches a point and stops. Every S&W K frame 357 that has shot some magnums has it that I've ever seen. Most Colts, including Pythons have it. I have never seen it on a Taurus. The only Ruger I've seen it on was a Blackhawk in 357 Maximum. Never on any other frame style or caliber Ruger. Not saying it doesn't happen just saying I've never seen it. I've seen a lot of revolvers in my time. When a revolver "kabooms" usually the cylinder blows up then the front (barrel end) of the top strap. It seems to me anything that weakens the top strap, even if it only goes so far, is not a good idea. The tighter the barrel/cylinder gap the more pronounced it gets. Like I said it usually reaches a point and stops. I had a "pinned and recessed" (I think people make too much of that) Smith Model 19 I bought new in 1974 and used mostly for PPC competition and shot mostly wadcutters. I did put less than 1000 magnums through it and the flame cutting looked like someone had run a hacksaw through the barrel/cylinder gap. You could see the flame cutting looking at the side of the top strap. That's after about 5 or 6 years. No lifetime warranty then. I got rid of it. While it's kind of an accepted thing with 357s my attitude is its avoidable with proper design. I don't mean just putting extra steel there. Alloy frame revolvers? I said I'd get back to them. As I said I've seen that extra piece if steel that's supposed to prevent or minimize flame cutting with +P 38s. I've also seen people get alloy Smith J frames converted to 9mm parabellum. A friend has a steel J frame Smith that came from the factory as a 9mm. Looks and runs fine. However converting an alloy frame designed for 20,000 psi (38 spl) to take a 35,000 psi (9mm) cartridge seems like not too good an idea in my book. People who've had this done say the gun runs fine. I'd like them to let me know how the gun is running after 8-10,000 rounds like my 70s vintage Model 60 that has had zero parts replaced and timing is fine. That's at least 250 rds a year of +P for qualification for 30 years plus a few thousand more. No flame cutting either. I don't carry +P in a J frame anymore. I carry factory wadcutters. Once you've put an entry and exit hole in the target any extra power just wasted energy and goes downrange. You can put that entry and exit in a target with a wadcutter. I realize I more than answered your question but as a truly great man told me once "knowledge is not power". The only stupid question is the one you don't ask. Hope this helps.

Can't. Jaws only ate white people.No one likes a racist shark.

some of us still don't use a 300hp machine to go short distances. we use 400+ hp machines.

I would not consider self-storage units in any way secure for firearms storage: http://www.nj.com/middlesex/index.ssf/2017/01/police_probing_possible_connection_of_storage_unit.html Gunsitters is the way to go. I believe some local ranges also have storage lockers available for rent. Not sure what the situation is, but all it takes is for someone (she) to say "he pointed a gun at me" even if it's not true then your life will be upside down. Best to have a documented way to show you did not have possession of said firearm.

On 4 networks that are cable/subscription only... HBO, History, USA, AMC. Network TV has no idea what they're doing.

@GRIZ, the flames shooting out the sides of the cylinder were blinding. I sent it back to Ruger and they replaced EVERYTHING except the frame and grips. New cylinder, cylinder crane, forcing cone, and a few other parts. Shoots fine now, although I've only shot 100 rounds after her major surgery. Great post by the way.

and although it's rare.......i had a complete outage here the other day. phone and interweb went down. both through comcast here at the shop. i'm stubborn. gonna keep the old copper line at home till they just don't work any more. remember the wind storms a couple years ago? my neighbors with comcast and/or cable phones.....went down. 'cause electric was out. cell towers were turned off to us civilians.

True, but so can phone lines. There is no one perfect answer. But between VoIP and cell I have never been totally without phone service.

I’ve got a UPS on the cable box and router and they continue to function during power outages.

Why jury duty is sooo important. We should not let this pacify us. CCW is our right as citizens

HAHA I rewatched the entire series so that when this came out it would be fresh. And turned it off part of the way through first episode

Yep - You'd think on Hawaii, where the Asian population is more than the white population (38.6% Asian vs 24.7% White), that the main show characters would be at least part Asian... Or the actual Asian cast members would be treated at least equally...

What I have found in my research prior to ordering all my parts is that even though everyone claims to be building their parts to DPMS "Standards", there really is no standard. A DPMS pattern upper might not fit well with a DPMS pattern lower of a different brand, and a DPMS pattern hand guard might not fit well with a DPMS pattern upper of a different brand. But then again they might all fit perfectly, but from all the posts i've seen online on different boards it is "safer" to get everything of the same brand. Even talking to Stag customer support they told me that even though their LR308 upper and lower are DPMS pattern, only their handguard will fit, which honestly makes no sense to me. If you want to take a change and go with different brands, which most of us would do when building an AR15 without a second thought, it appears to be more of a hit and miss when building an LR308. That is why I personally chose the Aero, the price and online reviews helped me decide. Edit: if you look at other hi end brands such as spikes and F1, they specifically state that their lowers will only fit their uppers, and vise versa.

Makes sense

Not sure why they say coming weeks and months if its good to go now ?

I'll try that at my next trip to GFH.

If you bring your own firearm but also would like to rent another, most will allow you to do that.....

So say we all!

Howard: I just enrolled my tel. numbers in NoMoRobo.... Thanks for suggesting that fix. I hope it makes a big difference in cutting out all of the unsolicited calls asking for donations that I/we have been getting. AVB-AMG

The original was perfection

They shouldn’t screw with an iconic movie such as Jaws. I wouldn’t be surprised if they did it, though.

The battle star galactica remake was good

If we could get 500-1000 people to apply it would destroy their 90% approval rating.

I'd submit an application.

There was talk of an organized effort to submit CCW applications in NJ a while back. I'm not sure why it was put on the back burner.

1: sorry for your loss 2: best of luck! Change is good! 3: you’re gonna freeze your azz off wittle buddy!

Although I no longer have a dog in the NJ fight I sill cannot see why there isn't a mass application in NJ for carry licenses. The statistics don't look bad if nobody applies. In addition, how can you sue the state for not allowing CCW that hasn't denied you anything? Saying that there is a de facto ban on carry licenses has no impact if the numbers don't agree.

She joined the "never gonna sell" pile after the first range session.

If they appeal, it will go to the supreme court and they know they will lose. If that happened, then states like CA, NJ, NY, HI, MA would have to change their laws too. So D.C. got pressure from these states to be quiet and accept it. Kinda like taking one for the team.

Three more permits.

NJ kept hanging on my foot for almost 2 years following my departure. Still can't shake them, especially the first of every month. Thank you citizens.

Just got back from Siesta Key Fl...... Wife's Aunt has been there 30+ years, so wife has been going there a long time..... I of course have been down a handful of times also... This is choice #1 for us to escape to when we either can leave within the next few years or when we retire..... If we go within the next 5 years, I will move to the mainland in Sarasota. IF it happens when we retire, I expect to move right onto the key...... and buy a boat..... and enjoy life...

Back in the day, pilots would have needed a radio operator's license, but that requirement was dropped for domestic flights some time ago. More recently certificated pilots won't typically have one, unless they plan to fly internationally. I don't know how to go about checking with the FCC to find an old license.

Right because a F:riend of a Friend of a Friend is SUCH a reliable source...

Both LEO's are morons and are too stupid to be in LE. They are a danger to all of us.

2C:39-3(j)Any person who knowingly has in his possession a large capacity ammunition magazine is guilty of a crime of the fourth degree unless the person has registered an assault firearm pursuant to section 11 of P.L.1990, c.32 (C.2C:58-12) and the magazine is maintained and used in connection with participation in competitive shooting matches sanctioned by the Director of Civilian Marksmanship of the United States Department of the Army. And just so there is no confusion, here's the definition of a "large capacity ammunition magazine" from the statutes... 2C39-1(y)"Large capacity ammunition magazine" means a box, drum, tube or other container which is capable of holding more than 15 rounds of ammunition to be fed continuously and directly therefrom into a semi-automatic firearm. Hope that clears things up for you. As was pointed out, the police are the last people you want to get legal advice from. Adios, Pizza Bob

Good lesson in this for you. Don't rely on LEO's for accurate advice on gun laws. And yes, the mag capacity limit is 15 in NJ.

15 round mag limit. And will most likely stay at 15 rounds for the foreseeable future unless you we get dicked over hardcore.
