HOT OFF THE WIRE FROM THE CNJFO PAGE: CNJFO AT NRA BOARD MEETING & PRESIDENT's RECEPTION! OLIVER NORTH & ILA's COX PROUD OF JOB WE DO HERE IN NJ! by Black Wire Media Monday Sept. 10, 2018 www.cnjfo.com/join-us We need "pinched" after last weekend! Having the ability to personally thank the NRA Board of Directors, the incoming NRA President Lt. Col. Oliver North, NRA-ILA's Chris Cox & Christian Ragosta, many of the famous & not so famous board members for their gracious hospitality and the great honor bestowed upon two of our Jersey boys was simply amazing! Having them tell us in their own words, unscripted, how they recognize our efforts & leadership in the fight for 2nd Amendment rights is truly inspirational! We're proud of Colandro & Rosenthal, all of our committee people, and ANJRPC's Scott Bach & Dan Schmutter for all you do to further our cause. +7 CNJFO 2 hrs · CNJFO COMMITTEES CHAT WITH NRA LEADERSHIP! GRASS ROOTS ACTIVISM GETS NRA's ATTENTION! by Black Wire Media Monday Sept. 10, 2018 www.cnjfo.com/join-us The Coalition of New Jersey Firearm Owners was invited by the NRA Board of Directors to attend the NRA President's Reception last Friday evening and the Awards Ceremony during Saturday morning's NRA board meeting that were held at the Westin Hotel in Arlington, VA. Gun For Hire's Anthony Colandro won this years Activist Center Award and CNJFO VP Dave "Rosey" Rosenthal won one of two Jay M. Littlefield Memorial Awards for 2017 Volunteer of the Year. These prestigious awards are bestowed upon individuals by the NRA's Grass Roots Division for demonstrating infectious leadership and organizing rank & file NRA members to make a difference at the polls. Only six such awards are presented annually from all NRA Divisions including retail gun shops, youth shooting, membership recruitment, etc., so New Jersey took home a third of them! NRA-ILA's Christian Ragosta of their Grass Roots Division nominated Rosenthal for the award, which came as a complete surprise. Friday evening's cocktail reception was the perfect time for our communications committee chairwoman Theresa Inacker and shows & community outreach committee chair Will Korman to speak with NRA's Wayne Lapierre, incoming President Lt. Col. Oliver North, NRA-ILA's Chris Cox, NRA board members Lt. Col. Allen West, NJ's own Scott Bach (Executive Director of our state NRA affiliate, the ANJRPC), and a multitude of other board members eagerly interested in learning first hand what it takes to be a gun owner here in NJ. Lt. Col. North (and others) were given a coalition patch by Will Korman (see photo). Our committee people were thanked by all for their courage, leadership & commitment to the 2nd Amendment. The event also served as the perfect backdrop to formally present the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs (ANJRPC) a $5,500.00 check representing CNJFO's promised matching funds of $2,500.00 along with the $3,000.00 donated by our members, sponsors & supporters. (See photo w/ Executive VP Colandro & Executive Director Bach accepting check on behalf of ANJRPC). Our state NRA affiliate will use these funds for the express purpose of supporting lawsuits for NJ gun owner's rights being fought by them on our behalf both statewide & nationally. And now a note to our most important people: YOU our readership, members, friends, sponsors & supporters! We're here trying to make a difference! Isn't it time for YOU to JOIN or RENEW, buy some SWAG or simply make a tax-deductible DONATION to support your gun rights? NJ residency isn't required to help OR receive a receipt for your tax-deductible gift to CNJFO, be it a small monthly stipend or any amount you choose. What happens in Jersey doesn't STAY in NJ! How about helping us to right wrongs, to become a stronger force to be reckoned with?

Sat. 9-22! www.njsafecon.net PLEASE SHARE THIS TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS!

I would say there isn’t even a barrel shroud. There isn’t any exposed barrel in front of the slide to shroud. There’s is a shroud around the slide.

The more that NJ's 2A activists are either on or in front of the NRA Board - the better for all of us as far as I'm concerned! This is good news. Thanks for sharing, Rosey.

No they don't. If they want to, they should. Everyone took drivers ed, half the people driving today suck at it.

Fuck them and their forms.

I went with a 3k inverter, Champion duel-fuel from Costco. It can get about 20 hours from a grill propane tank. Running a window a/c at night, fridge, and computer/tv/internet. The central a/c uses too much power, I can rough it for a few days in a single room. For me, I wanted to optimize run time with clean quiet power.

Assuming that these are really two separate zones, it is easy to have one thermostat do both AC and heat. By "really separate", I mean AC #1 cools the same rooms that heater #1 heats. If there is some strange overlap between zones, you can still do it but strange things might happen in the overlapping areas. The heaters wires go the the heating terminals on the new thermostat and the AC's wires go to the AC terminals on the thermostat. A heating/cooling thermostat is really just two thermostats in one box.

Looks like something from the Men In Black movie.

I know it’s not a Glock, but I was seriously considering getting a Sig 320 just for this: 24oz unloaded with arm brace Mag in grip No Shroud

I agree. The law pertains to manufactured firearms that are classified as assault firearms. Just adding an optic to a semi-auto brings the weight of most semi-autos to over 50 ounces.

I don't know anyone that owns 15 round mags.

Ray, Some very good watches in the mid range that won't break the bank: Tissot Shinola / Filson Brooklyn Watch Co. Seiko Casio Citizen Parnis Seagull Suunoto (Core Black)

Ahhh, a guy after my own heart... I go one step further, three is ideal. Like Scorpio said, yes, it's the safest way to tie the generator into your house. To install, you have to go into your panel box and move some existing wires around off of existing circuit breakers. If you're not comfortable doing that, it will require an electrician. Take a quick search on Home Depot or Lowes for "transfer switches" and you'll see what they look like. A 6 circuit transfer switch is around $300. I'm actually picking one up today to help my son install it for his generator. Based on having gas, you really don't need a large generator to power everything else, unless running your A/C compressor is a must-have. Everything else can be run off of a 3000 watt easily.

That's from CAA's website - they're Israeli so they don't know the local NJ laws. It's a blanket statement just like some website that don't sell AR parts to NJ.

There is a small difference tho,Aimpoint and trijicon have already beat the shit out of their optics for you in testing. Since these guys get le and military contracts, a lot of the price is in designs that eliminate failure points. While many will never abuse their optics, or even their firearms, it's important for them that if they have to, they can. It's not to say others won't be as reliable, but you have so much real world experience to trust in.

Picked-up a Garmin Fenix 5 Sapphire last year, mainly for activity tracking/kayaking/hiking/running/etc.. Been pretty happy with it so far, and it looks good too.

Lol. First off you must have me confused with someone who is concerned with what others think of them. If you think that statement was an attack on law enforcement then you too are not reading it correctly. Yes I hold law enforcement to a higher standard because people's lives and freedoms are at risk. Most cops are good. The bad ones need to be outed and removed. It won't happen as long as the blue wall exists and citizens make excuses for them. Your last sentences makes me think you typed your post after a few drinks. I was as concerned as anyone with NJ firearms laws. However I've made the decision to leave this hellhole and regroup elsewhere. Where the majority are willing to fight for their rights rather than complying to save their own skin. I implore those who are willing to fight to leave as well. If one needs proof NJ is a losing battle, just read through the number of posts on this forum about having mags repinned to 10 while the fight is still on going. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Before just picking a generator, it's important to know what you're needing to power up with it. Is the house all electric (hot water, cooking, heat, clothes drying) or is it gas? How many fridges? city water or well? One furnace or two? What else? Knowing the load you need to power is the first step in deciding what generator is necessary. No need to get a large generator, and burn through tons of fuel, to keep a few lights on. Plus, if you're going to run a generator all day during a power outage, you can split and stagger your loads during the day (cycle one fridge at a time)(run the furnace), etc. This way you can get by with a smaller, more fuel efficient generator. Most major power using appliances in your house don't run 24/7, but cycle on and off based on demand.

Harbor Freight Predator 8750 is gas but 7000 watt. Dual and Tri Fuel Kits are available.

Stop by, I got a couple in stock

Ring Manufacturing donated some Blue Guns to us at CNJFO. We might be able to LOAN you one of ours to get you started? Just hand-out some brochures & let them know we exist. Sound feasible Ed? Let's chat! Rosey

Next thing you guys say is that you'll want everybody to take a class in order to carry a firearm. Sent from an undisclosed location via Tapatalk

I'm surprised it has lasted this long to be honest. those barrels alone are 250 to $300 on ar15.com. plus, you can put on whatever break you want rather than having to take what somebody else did. I thought about it on AR-15.but I really don't feel like having to deal with the hassle of shipping

Budget ones? I keep getting Android Wear watches. First the LG G-Watch, then the Moto 360, then the LG Urbane, then the Huawei H1, then the Ticwatch E. That's 5 watches in the span of 4 years. All of them with 3 numbers in the price...

Casio G-Shock Rangeman. I’ve never had issues, keeps time from Ft Collins, is solar charged and has a compass, barometer and altimeter. It also has a thermometer, but any watch with a thermometer is suspect since it’s strapped to a 98 deg mammal. Best watch I’ve ever had and I’ve had some expensive watches.

I have an old Disney stainless watch... which I picked up in Florida back in 2001. Sat in my safe for most of that time, unless I wanted to wear a watch for something. Just had it cleaned up, and new battery/seals installed... since I’m going on a Disney cruise. I’m not a watch guy. I tend to break stuff, so try not to wear them. I have be using a Fitbit Charge 2... which I made sure I got the extended warranty for when I break it. [emoji6] Use my phone for time/date. I know, sacrilege.

Was on Thursday only - Amazon's deal of the day. I ordered it, got it shipped in same day. Got the pink one so my niece and daughter can get in to it more.

You sound like my wife.

I have kids. When I get them on the bus in the morning, the trigger lock comes off of the 12g and goes by my car keys. When I leave for work 8 hours later, the lock goes back on. If I worked out in my open garage, near a bad neighborhood, I would not even bother with a safe. I would keep a loaded 12g pump nearby. After my workout, I would put a trigger lock on it and bring it back in the house. If bad guys are going to pounce, they will pounce quickly. I doubt I could get into a safe quickly enough to counter the threat.

As much as we pay in road use taxes (gas tax), tolls, and other taxes in this crap hole state, the roads should be in excellent condition. I’ve been to 3rd world countries with better roads than NJ. It’s maddening....and I’m particularly angry after just spending $2500 in repairs after damage sustained after hitting a pothole on the NJ Turnpike. 2 wheels/tires, and front wheel bearings toasted because of that hole. Now, we are raising the gas tax again....and get absolutely nothing in return for it. I have half a mind to staple my repair bill to the head of DOT’s forehead and demand reimbursement.

Not to derail...but need some testers for this bad boy... Free ammo

This is at no one specific... Please take a class with a reputable instructor. Pistol, Rifle, Low-Light...sumtin.

Your Colt upper is calling my name.

Shouldn’t the title of your post be “Ontario, We have a problem”?

It helps...TLR-7 U need lights... I either have Surefire X300s or Streamlight...

No light where she's going.

Reason for the milk/eggs/bread is kids IMO.... three must haves for my two...

The biggest mistake I have made is picking out a gun for my wife.... soooo, don’t do that. Also, cute and tiny is not a ladies thing, it’s a ccw thing. I’d recommend full size whatever she likes. Try as much as you can. All of the new women shooters we’ve brought to the Range love the sr22. But that’s not a good choice for HD, an excellent choice for beginners though. They always hate my j frame. Oh Op, if your experience is anything like mine, you’re screwed dude! @Old Glock guy, mrs has a 17 lower she’s starting to build. She likes the full size more than her 19. Funny you say that

The suggestion above is a great one! She might also want to attend one of the many women's shooting chapters/groups in the state. Most will let you go as a guest for the first time, without making the decision to join. It's pretty low-cost typically - 10-25 bucks for the evening: There's 4 TWAW (The Well-Armed Woman) chapters in NJ - located throughout the state Second Amendment Women (SAW) is a NJ-based org that meets at 2 diff ranges (Gun for Hire and one that's more south that I can't recall at the moment) Tactical Training Center in Flemington has a ladies night 2nd wed of the month (me and @Mrs.Zeke go to that - she's welcome to meet us there!) There's a small private range in Warren County that also has a monthly ladies' shoot too (open to public) At any one of those events, I'm sure she'd find that the women would be VERY friendly and generous about loaning their guns. She could probably try 8-10 different firearms in one evening at a very low cost (as compared to rentals)... and then she would start to at least get a "sense" of what she prefers - revolver vs. semi-auto, striker vs. hammer, compact vs. fullsize, metal vs. polymer, etc. Honestly, there's soooo many variables and options --- it can be dizzying! So, why shouldn't she slow down, take her time, and figure out her preferences in a relaxed (and low-cost) way? She might even end up hooking up with a group that she enjoys shooting and training with... value add! Where are you located? I can point you towards the nearest group that I know of if you share more info.

Maybe that was tongue in cheek, but has anyone ever seen a government-developed IT system that worked even remotely well? Look at Obamacare enrollment or NJMVC. The system you describe would take 12 years to build, cost a few billion$$$ and would still not work correctly. My son could develop it in 1/2 day for a pizza and the cost of GoDaddy website registration, but get gov't involved and there would be too many hands in the cookie jar for it to ever happen.

Yup, I reached my boiling point which is why I left and went to Florida. What I am not paying in NJ income and property taxes in a year fully pays the annual rent on a four bedroom three bath home with a three car garage and I ground pool in an expensive part of the state. It’s time for everyone that can afford to leave to get the hell out of New Jermany.

NJ tax policy is best described using the old "boiling frog" observation. It goes something like this: If you put a frog into a pot of boiling water it will jump right out. If you put that same frog into a pot of cold water and turn on the heat the frog will cook because it won;t recognize the increasing temp until it's too late. I have no idea at what point folks will recognize it but I believe NJ is already past the boiling point. Notice the number of folks jumping out of the pot...

My father pays approx 50% just in income taxes, before any property taxes on the house or two investment properties or anything else for that matter. Id bet for him its 70%+, the property taxes on the new house is like 25k. Cray cray.

Why are you getting rid of your mags now? There may well be an injunction in the coming days and SCOTUS is looking great for us! Keep what you can as long as you can! I spoke with a local gun dealer who told me a crazy number of people in the PRNJ are selling off their guns because they are afraid of what Trenton will ban next. I for one am not willing to give up my magazines, my guns or my Constitutional rights that easily!

Is anyone else uncomfortable with @Ray Ray making the rules? Or jus me?
