NJ gun owners don't like a challenge. They're PUSSIES, and we have to change THAT! We need to turn them into TIGERS willing to stand-up for themselves and their brethren. One peek at all of the posts in the "When should I block or throw away my 15 round mags" threads HERE ON THIS FORUM gives you an idea of just how naive & ignorant the average gun owner is. It's basically an extension of the ignorant following FOPA rules for interstate transportation of firearms WHILE STILL INSIDE NJ, for an extra level of self-assuredness, all the while quaking in their boots hoping not to get stopped for a tail light out so they can naively CONFESS to the first Cop that shows-up that they pissed at Burger King and stopped for a latte at Starbucks then went to the milk store on the way home, picking-up dry cleaning & stamps along the way Some Commandos on this forum won't even take the word of FFL's or current & retired sworn LEO's that hang here to help that know real-world application of law and the EXEMPTIONS that let us mere serfs own & use firearms. PK-90, H.E. & GRIZ come immediately to mind. Like I said, we need to CHANGE that. Sometimes even I feel defeated and wish to administer a Civics test just to be allowed to write here.
Colandro's battle cry has always been "EACH ONE, REACH ONE!", and in addition to the various appearances I put-in (oft times shooting leagues at local clubs that are members of the ANJRPC) I have the distinct pleasure of finding volunteer talent to teach at Tony Simon's "The 2nd is for Everyone: Diversity Shoot" that takes place 6x a year at GunForHire. Last Thursday was no exception. Several Coalition members stepped-up and taught old hands & Newbies alike how to shoot their personal guns, including 100 year old War Horses like a Winchester 1917 and a 1944 M-1 Garand in .30-06.
Tomorrow is a new day and I won't waste it. I don't know how many tomorrows I have left. Me give up w/o a fight? NEVER!

CNJFO's "KILROY WAS HERE!" SHARES A WW2 EXPERIENCE!
SIMON's DIVERSITY SHOOT TAUGHT BY OUR RIFLE EXPERT!
by Black Wire Media Saturday Oct. 6, 2018 www.cnjfo.com/join-us
The Coalition of New Jersey Firearm Owners had several volunteer instructors teaching Diversity Shoot attendees the correct & safe way to handle & shoot all types of firearms. Thursday night's event was headlined by our very own "Kilroy Was Here!", a member of our communications committee's freelance writing staff. "Kilroy Was Here!" is a famous WW2 expression written upon trucks, tanks, APC's, buildings and on anything & everything touched by World War Two GI's in every theatre. A statement that US forces have overcome severe obstacles to wage & win a war on several continents simultaneously.
In NJ we fight our 2nd Amendment battles daily, and of late it looks like we just might be winning! What better way to celebrate than by having our resident WW2 expert give a brief lecture at Tony Simon's, "The 2nd is for Everyone: Diversity Shoot" and then supply his antique battle rifles & .30 caliber ammo for everyone to enjoy! GunForHire's Woodland Park 50 yard range is loaned to Simon for this event by range owner & ANJRPC Executive Vice President Anthony Colandro.
The crowd loved shooting Kilroy's Battle Rifles. Kilroy brought his 1944 Springfield Armory M-1 Garand along with more than 100 rounds of .30 caliber ammo. General George S. Patton, Jr. was famously quoted regarding the M-1 his men were issued: “In my opinion, the M-1 rifle is the greatest battle implement ever devised!” Shooters enjoyed putting the re-barreled in '64 US Rifle Cal .30-06 through its' paces, and proper handling tamed the recoil--even the ladies wanted extra trigger time! Everyone was all smiles and Kilroy wants to do it again soon! ( photos by CNJFO member Angelo Yacone & "Kilroy")
