I have no idea what is going on in your state nor at this point do I really care. But concerning the recent "Magazine Ban" Until this law gets square away...If any of you want me to hold your mags here in SC I will do so. Pack them up with your name on the box and I'll throw them on the side. If and when it gets squared away I'll send them back. Just saying. It'll cost ya the price of shipping both ways. Feel bad for you bastards!! OS

Today's "BC" comic strip

Have not been there yet this year, Usually get out there 4 to 5 times a year. Will be going this month along with my wife to the CNJFO event, FINALLY

Ah, yes! Hitting the clays. That's always the problem, isn't it? I didn't count, but the instructor (and I) both thought I hit somewhere between 40 and 50 percent over the course of the afternoon. I've noticed that some people have "natural shotgun aptitude" - I'm not one of those people. But, hey... I'm getting a teensy bit better over time. Our shotgun had a 14 inch length of pull - I do believe I do better with about a 12 inch length of pull. So, perhaps over time... with a better fit gun, more practice... who knows? Maybe I can eventually hit more than half. Dare to dream!! (And sorry I couldn't make you're event today - honestly? From the heat yesterday, I was just too spent to even THINK about it!) I'm looking at my budget... and my work pipeline. I don't know yet! I like the thought that it contributes to a cause, of course... but I'll have to see if I can swing it (pun intended).

That is funny. You think he is doing anything for free?

Only Trump voters have magazines, Dem's have clips (paper).

Make sure you take the caps off the tubos when you store 'em in the humidor - keeping it on can actually promote mold. SmallBatch has great deals, always ships fast, and always has a Boveda. Some days you just gotta have a cigar while shooting.

Legality aside... if range officers do try that crap, I do hope that members post about it on here. Don’t get me wrong, their range, their rules. But trying to jam up people on the same side... I’d never put a penny into the pocket of such an organization.

Owning and buying firearms has nothing to do with taxes, time spent, etc. You can have 50 homes in every state. When you are in that state, you are a resident and can purchase and possess, and carry in most. A government issued document, such as a DL, Auto Registration, Voter ID, Tax Bill, Utility Bill, etc, can provide proof if needed.

This is becoming a ridiculous argument,. Jeebus you guys should shoot more and seriously knock this crap off. name courts. Fake news

I heard she’s giving @RecessedFiltera run for his money. Always bet on Peel.. always!

When people talk about family and inclusion, few people can measure up to Anthony Colandro and Jimmy at GFH. I had made a request to make a wish happen for a very close friend of my twins that has a disease, which there is no cure. It only offers a diminishing quality of life and suffering. Because of her limitations, she spends a lot of time gaming and always wanted to know what it was like to shoot a real firearm. Well, GFH was the Genie that made that wish happen. I can't thank GFH enough for giving genuine joy to a young woman whose day is mostly enduring pain and hardships. Tom who was her instructor could not have been any better. He is another angel the represents GFH Family of Guardian Angels. You have NO IDEA how much joy you have given this family. My daughter in the background was simply amazed at how everything played out. Heaven / Valhalla - smiles upon your good deeds my brother(s).

Aww man, why did you call? You're supposed to pay $300 and sit in a seminar all day for Nappen to scare you!

This is New Jerkey. !!

Yesterday, I attended Lehigh Valley Sporting Clays in Coplay, PA for the first time! I went with @Mrs.Zeke to their NRA Women on Target event - more on that later. I feel very grateful to have attended (and, again, thanks to @Ms. 12 Gauge for letting me know about the event!) Here's my feedback: Sporting Clays: Yikes, what a fun shooting sport!! If you don't know anything about it, you are moving through a course and at each station there's clays being thrown different ways (varying direction, speed, even a type called a rabbit that rolls along the ground). It's challenging. And for even more challenge, they have 3 defined courses there - beginner, intermediate and advanced. So think of it like a golf course - each station is like a hole - they even have gas-powered golf carts you can rent, or little scooters (I think those are free) and little wheelie carts (also free). The operation is year-round. LVSC: I haven't been to other sporting clays ranges, so I can't compare per se, but I can say this one was really "atmospheric" - and as a lover of all things Victorian, it was just my cup of tea. It's set in a long-abandoned 1800's quarry operation. So, the old, roofless, dilapidated buildings have been taken over by trees and undergrowth - but they still hold a unique beauty (the great masonry, old arched window frames, etc. - it was like some of those photos from urban explorers who enter abandoned sites). It must look amazing in fall or after a fresh snow! Even better, one station we were at is located right over water (presumably, the old quarry pit). So, you're standing on this little covered deck, looking out across a sparkling body of water, with cliffs opposite you, trees above that and a perfect blue sky up above. Wow. Hey, did I mention it's a GREAT-LOOKING place? (LOL) Much of the course, blessedly, was in shade. And all the little stations have roofs so you've always got a little spot of shade on a hot day. The main building where you sign in was large, nicely air-conditioned (helpful yesterday of all days), well-appointed, kind of a rustic hunting lodge vibe, but very modern and clean, too (including a nice clean ladies room with the de-lead soap, etc.) The staff were all very friendly - and our instructor, Bob Broderick, was fantastic! I recommend him highly. A lot of things "clicked" for me yesterday in terms of understanding the process - that's the power of a good instructor! Here's their website: https://www.lvsclays.com/ NRA Women on Target: The NRA and their partner ranges really do a great job on these events! They are designed to attract women to the shooting sports, so they're quite literally giving stuff away. This deal was so slammin' - it was impossible to pass up! FIFTY BUCKS covered the entire afternoon program. They initially had us in a room for about an hour where we filled out paperwork and had some classroom instruction about safety, etc. We then picked up the included cold drinks, eye and ear pro, plus a loaner shotgun and instructor for each group... our little sub-group had 4 women and 2 golf carts (carts also included!!)… and we were on the course for a good 2 hours at least... with each one of us getting one-on-one attention and guidance from the instructor at each station (that alone was worth more than 50 bucks!!). Afterwards, we returned to the same room where they had snacks, more ice-cold beverages, certificates and "swag bags" which, best of all, included a coupon for 10% off of a private lesson (expires end of this year). I have no idea what that would package would cost normally, but looking at the website, I'm guessing at least 125 or more each? So, if you haven't been to LVSC yet, I urge you to check it out! It's LOTS of fun. I know CNJFO is doing a fundraiser there this month - I'm sure you'd have a fantastic time AND you'd be contributing to the 2A cause at the same time. So, I'll add that link here: In addition, I plan to get on the email list for their NRA Women on Target events (apparently, LVSC sponsors about 3 a year). Though I can't go again (it's for sporting clays first-timers only), I intend to advertise them in the future under our "events" section... so you can all pass the word to women shooters you know. Believe me, anyone who went would enjoy it. All the ladies who went yesterday (I'd say it was about 15-20) had a real blast!

I really want one of these, mostly for the 10 round capacity. These varying reports are a bit unnerving, especially as I already have a perfect G43. Maybe I will just pocket a spare mag and check back next year. It is a smitch smaller, but still not really small enough for pocket carry like my lcp2.

I'm actually hoping Hardiman gets in . He once wrote this about NJ "in Hardiman’s 40-page dissent, he said that self-defense happens inside and outside the home. He wrote, in part: “New Jersey has decided that fewer handguns legally carried in public means less crime. It is obvious that the justifiable need requirement functions as a rationing system designed to limit the number of handguns carried in New Jersey.” Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Budget? A true, dedicated macro can be a couple hundred to the thousands. Thankfully, you don't have to worry about your subject getting scared off, so no need for a 100+mm macro. I don't believe they are made anymore, but the Canon 50mm f/2.5 (?) Compact macro was a 1:2 'macro' that was very good for the price (I think about $250 new back when I had one). It was a slower focus motor, but macro is often manual focus anyway. I'd bet you could find a used one for $100-175. If you have a crop sensor body, i think there is an EF-S 60mm macro now, but I have no experience and know nothing about it as I do not ever buy crop lenses. Certain lenses have pseudo macro capabilities, allowing for close focus and shots which give enough detail for most needs. However, just because it says Macro on a lens, does not mean it is a true macro- it means it can focus closer. Certain 75-300s have the capability as well, though I was never impressed with them. My 24-70 2.8L can do reasonable closeups in a pinch. Final "quick" thought is 3rd party lenses. I have a Sigma 150mm macro, which is a nice lens, and cost hundreds less than the Canon 180mm macro. You may find an inexpensive quality offering from Sigma, Tamron, or Tokina.

Why in the world would a nonresident need a NJ , FPIC ? Prison, prison, prison. Get out as soon as you can.

I will gladly send my FPID directly to Murphy with a big "FU" across it in sharpy when I move out.

It's not that they're filing suits, it's that they're not filing the right ones. It's been ten years since Heller, and nothing challenging common use, its been decades and nothing challenging the systematic intimidation of the permit process, the list goes on. Now we have a magazine injunction filed. At best, it lets people keep less neutered magazines and neuters future ones. More likely, it goes right in the trash. It may sound exciting but in the grand scheme, it's nothing. Meanwhile the witch hunt laws begin without a challenge, we have seen in NY far more people lose their rights to the witch hunt laws, than to the SAFE act. There are numerous large, sweeping, clear cut violations that get ignored. Decade after decade. Things that if a completely uneducated person like me sees, ones that any lawyer or activist who was actually trying would of course see. Too obvious to miss. Not sure how long you've been a gun owner Ms. Peel but after a few decades, many of us start to wonder if ANJRPC et. All are just hospice care for gun rights. Or controlled opposition. Or maybe just rotten to the core, content to let this whole black rifle fad of a storm blow over and go back to the good ol' days of just shooting lever actions in the woods.

@Zeke: That really does look nice with all of the intricate detailing.... I just bet Mrs. Zeke would love to have one just like that for her upcoming birthday present... Yes, it may be an expensive year for you..... AVB-AMG

You say you are using an Argus with shutter speeds limited to 10, 50, 100, 300. I am not an Argus expert, but it sounds to me like you are using a 60 or 80 year-old camera. I tried doing that a few years back with a vintage Agfa folding 6x6 with similar results. It was not very satisfying at all and cost me a mess of money. It now decorates a bookshelf in my living room. Argus was never a great brand when new. Simply put, your camera is most likely only suitable for decor at this point. If the camera has sentimental value, make a display case for it. If you really want to learn film photography, pick up a decent SLR so you can have consistent results. A SLR lets you see exactly what will appear on the film. If the image is in focus in the viewfinder, it will be in focus on film. If you can afford it, nothing beats a Nikon FM series camera with a 35mm or 50mm lens. The Pentax K1000 has always been a good film camera for those on a budget. I recently bought an example of my first real camera that I got in high school in 1985. I bought a mint Ricoh with a 50mm lens for a total of $43 off of ebay. You really don't need to spend much to get a decent film camera. With an older SLR, you want to pay attention to the foam used to seal the back and at the mirror. If the foam is sticky, it needs to be replaced. It is not a huge deal, but you need to be aware of it. A good repair shop should only charge you around $100 to replace the foam. If you shop smart, you can avoid this. I know it is not near you at all, but the camera shop I use, and most of my fellow pros in the Trenton area use, is Allen's Camera in Levittown Pa. They have a large supply of used film cameras, from Pentax to Leica. Pm me for a contact there. Drop my name and he will treat you right. Chasing good images out of a worn out ancient camera will only lead to frustration. I recommend you spend a few bucks to get a decent machine. EDIT...... 302w, I really want to see you succeed. I started out my career shooting film and I miss the craft terribly. Nothing beats shooting a roll of film and then making stellar enlargements from a good negative. I am here to assist as much as I can.

I just have visions of someone buying this and it ending up like the South Park episode where Cartman buys the amusement park to have it all for himself only to have to let people in to pay for things.

THIS^^^^ I recall something about common carriers can't be held responsible for what is in the packages unless they were involved in some sort of criminal conspiracy to deliver something illegally. Otherwise a UPS driver could be charged with drug smuggling for unknowingly delivering a package to someone with drugs in it.

I was thinking the carry permit should be $4000. It might evoke a response by those retired LEOs who aren’t having a problem with the current changes. It will highlight that belief that “the monster will eat me last” syndrome is a bad way to think.

I wonder how the Fudds feel now. These fees, f2f sale stoppage and stopping internet ammo sales (proposed) now effect the owners of Grandpa’s shotgun.

I wonder how many go-go bars, massage parlors, crack houses, MS-13 gang members and liquor stores Piscataway has....? <rhetorical>

going? we've been there. for at least most of my adult life.

As others have said pumps and semis are fine for clays but having 2 barrels with a mod or skeet and full choke can be an advantage when hunting pheasants. If you miss with the first shot you can reach out a little farther with the full choke or if one gets up a little farther out you can (in theory) switch quickly to the full choke. I still do take my old beat up mossy 500 out when it' raining and it can kill pheasents and clays no problem but the few times ive shot 5 stand with the rich guys I get a few funny looks when I break out the mossy. That goes away when I shoot better than the majority of the guys there with the cheapest beat up gun.
