I have the same problem. I segregated all of my soon to be illegal mags and put them in a big box. The damn box disappeared and my wife thinks she may have accidentally thrown them away! I looked everywhere and the trash was picked up last night! Oh well........What's gone is gone!

I agree with others, cold turkey. It will be 1 year since I had my last cigarette on Nov 1. I also quit for almost 5 uears about 10 years ago. And both times, only cold turkey worked. I tried everything, patch, chantix, gum, vape, and nothing helped. And to be honest, people telling you to quit only makes it worse. The only way I have been able to quit is cold turkey, and by wanting to quit. There is a big difference between wanting to quit and thinking you want to quit because your wife, kids, friends, etc... talked you into it. You need to really want to quit!

Cold turkey. Everything else is just prolonging it. When you get a craving think/do something else for a few minutes and it goes away. I haven't smoked in 7 or 8 years and I still get cravings. I honestly didn't even want to quit, my wife wanted me to. It was mind over matter, nothing else.

Van Drews so called positive 2A view is USELESS, I don't care how sincere he seems about it, he is a willing and active part of the democrat machine in NJ and should be despised as such if you cherish the 2A.

Cold turkey. That and what worked for me also was becoming a homebound hermit for a month or so. No going out with the guys, partys, even bars and restaurants (back then you could still smoke in 'em...and get cigs out of the machine in Pathmark for 80 cents lol). Its a mind game and you have to really want it, to me the all the substitutes is slow torture. And think how much money you'll save. Seriously- add it up and use that as an incentive to reward yourself with a prize down the road. Good luck!

After smoking for 20 yrs and trying all different ways to quit, including hypnotism, I finally did it cold turkey. I just picked a day and said this is the day I'm going to quit. I sat at home that day and read a book for hours ignoring all urges and mentally blocking out all the associations and triggers. By the second day my urge to smoke was already gone. By the end of the week I felt like I never smoked. That was 13 yrs ago. I never touched a cigarette again.

Ok..... Met with Brad.... No changes..... it will go as I thought... There will be 3 RTSP Employees on duty.... 2 RSO's and the Manager on Duty, who will be manning the Rental/Check-In/Rental Counter If you have never shot at RTSP, you will have to fill out Waiver while watching the Safety Video ..... Nick and I will be in the VIP Lounge where we will Meet and Greet everyone CNJFO is onboard with supplying some food, looks like Pizza and some sandwiches, drinks also. Mag Capacity will not be policed Member Pricing on everything Rentals will be available but remember.... Rentals must use their ammo Shoot is 6-8pm Meet and Greet starts at 5pm I expect to be there much earlier, no later than 4pm

Quit cold turkey in 86, best decision in my life. No long story from me, just go back and read InFamous and Fatty’s posts, they hit the nail on the head. Good luck, don’t expect it to be easy, it’s the toughest battle you’re likely to ever have - your opponent being yourself.... I’d like to tell you the urge to smoke goes away in a few weeks - not true, could take at least a year. About 30 days into quitting smoking, you’ll be coughing up grey slugs of goop, that’s your lungs clearing up - it’s a good thing. Good luck (luck won’t help, this is real work). Keep us posted, come back and tell us how your making out. Be honest, again your opponent is yourself.

I agree with the above for quitting cold turkey. Ive been cigarette free for exactly 13 months now with no turning back. After over 15 years of smoking, it was hard as hell to do but so worth it. Life changing experience and it made me feel like I could do anything. Just woke up one morning and made a strong willed decision to quit for my family. Cut the first craving, the second, third, and kept chugging until days, weeks, then months passed by. Once the first month is down, it gets easier and easier... just understand that the withdrawl symptoms can get pretty intense (migraines, anger, body aches, etc...) but remember that its temporary and worth the fight. Most important factor is not giving into any excuses your mind might be telling you to sneak a harmless smoke. All it takes is one slip up and you're back to square one. Good luck bud. You can absolutely do it. edit; ive also tried vaping (for several years) but in all honesty you're still committing yourself to the nicotine addiction and the cravings will never stop. Mind over matter.

That's a pretty lame ass cover their ass unspecified notification. It's always been illegal to bring anything illegal anywhere lol.

A simple Timex with a olive drab cloth band.

I went to one of these maybe 8 or 9 years ago and dropped off a broken, single shot 20 gauge( H&R) and a broken double barrel 12 gauge (Sears and Roebuck) and got more money than if I sold them on here as broken. I then used the money for a new gun. Win win

Sadly, I posses nothing particularly interesting. But you can add this to the list... Walther PPQm2

Not good for any guns. Just gives them talking points. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So, what will the guys here, who neutered or replaced their 15s with 10s say, when they go to the range a year or so from now and still see other people show up with 15s and never get questioned?

I guess it’ll be a fairy tale haha. I don’t know how to upload a photo less then 520kb. Regardless, I know what I have and have worked hard for what I do. If you ever see a 30yr old with a Green Iraq Vet hat and a battlefield cross on the forearm and probably have a shemagh. on shooting on lane 1 or 2 only ( not aloud to shoot .50 on any other due to the backstop being lower ) at Range 14 ask if he’s the Tuna. I’ll let you shoot whatever I am that day if you want....

can still use 15 rounders until they are illegal

A buddy of mine told me he did this back in the day. Buy a couple of cheap shot guns. Saw the barrel off and cash it in at gun buy back.

A friends father was told to volunteer at a cancer hospital for a few hours, that made him quit cold turkey, I was never a heavy smoker, but also went cold turkey as someine else said mind over matter if you can do it.. willpower. whatever you choose best of luck and good choice.

Wow I'm surprised this guy isn't an NJGF member, his auction looks like most the ads in the WTS section.

Vape worked well for me. Smoked for 26 years- Marlboro red. Did a little research online, ordered a vape pen and some juice. Been over five years now. Still enjoy the vape when I'm having a few cocktails. I know it's not good for me, but waaaay better than smoking and I don't smell like an ashtray

I tried everything: the patch, gum, hypnosis, etc. None of it worked. What finally did it for me was that my wife (who quit via hypnosis) refused to kiss me because "I smelled like an ashtray". I had to do it cold turkey, just tough it out for a few weeks. It gets easier, especially if you lay off the booze the first few weeks.

You need to understand politicians play politics within their own party. The Democrats don't care if one of them votes against a anti-gun bill as long they know it will pass anyway. More so if that's what it takes for that legislator to be re-elected in their district. Just as long as they pull the party line on other votes. If you look at Van Drew''s voting record he usually votes against anti-gun bill. That's the fallacy of the NRA rating. They only look at gun issues. Van Drew voted for NICS for private transfers. That's the biggest PITA for gun owners in NJ. It's also another "tax" as the state will collect more from NICS. He also voted for tuition assistance for illegal aliens. Given the choice between a candidate with a NRA A rating who's for higher taxes and more government control and another with an NRA B rating who's for lower taxes and less control I'll take the B rated guy. You can't be a one issue voter.

Yeah, I’d grind off that peeled back metal, lay down some flex tape, and pop rivet a piece of sheet metal over it until you can get that door replaced.

Id be more impressed if it were an m1.

there is no such thing as an illegal gun.

Class was $600 for 2 days. Certainly not cheap, but IMO, worth it. Awesome thanks. I will definitely let you know. I think I may have figured out my problem tho. After the 1st day of shooting to 450, I was messing with my turrets because the hash mark on the turrets wasn't lining up with the indicator line on the scope body. Im think I may have shifted it over a mil when adjusting that cap. That would explain why my numbers started deviating about a mil over expected at 500+. Im headed to R14 on Friday and if my zero isn't correct at 100, Ill know that was my problem.

Pics

I was there the last 2 rallys. Took pictures and met a bunch of members from here. Im not planning on giving up, but this state is pretty damn hopeless when it comes to guns, especially when only 1-2000 show up for rallys...and nothing pro is even a blip on our radars. I am curious how aggressively the state will go after the clueless thousands who are unknowingly going to be felons in December. Meanwhile, thousands of us who do know are forced to spend significant money replacing or modifying our previously legal and already unusual and expensive magazines for a feel-good law that doesn't even grandfather anything, while waiting/hoping for a hail mary at the last second.

Anyone bringing anything to these buy back things should first give us on the forum a crack at it. Also these buy backs don’t help the (our) cause any.

I still want to know what happened with the firearms that were confiscated......yes, I say CONFISCATED, at the Burlington County circus event a month or so ago. "No questions asked"? HA!

From my limited time I've been paying attention, it almost seems that way. Have we ever won any fight? Along those lines, why hasn't ANJRPC planned a big rally to get all gun owners protesting and marching on Trenton right before these upcoming midterms. Wouldn't thousands of gun owners, holding 15 round magazines high in the air get some attention by the politicians up for re-election? Has anything like this been proposed by any of the 2A groups, or are they just going to roll over and take it up the ass without lube come December..... again...?

Ray, you will be one of the few people around that knows how to shoot a revolver in the future. I'm sure you can write cursive and know how to use a dial phone. I'll bring some revolvers too.

I thought the same thing but have confirmed with Chef @Zeke the pineapple is in the sauce not mixed in with the meat. Having sampled Zeke''s meat loaf I can now give my full review. I tried the sauce by itself and while very tasty I might put it on French Vanilla ice cream before putting it on meat. Ground turkey instead of beef? Hmm. My first concern was most things that are healthier for you it wouldn't taste good. However it was delicious and the binder used passed the firmness test for meat loaf. That is firm enough to cut a piece and hold on a fork without crumbling. Too little binder and the meat loaf falls apart, too much and you can wind up with a brick. Another thing that gives Zeke some street cred is he's actually lived lived in Hawaii. Now if I were to make this, without the sauce of course, I would use Maui onions to qualify as Polynesian meat loaf. @Displaced Texan if you duplicate Zeke's creation you might want to use Pecos onions. Would this make it Texas Meat Loaf? There is another interesting connection here. Turkeys are not native to Hawaii. Wild turkeys were released in the Hawaiian Islands in the 60s. These were Rio Grande Wild Turkeys from Texas so they were legal immigrants to Hawaii. Now none of these turkeys are alive today but their ancestors, by the common law concept of jus poli, are Hawaiian. I must mention another food that danced across my palate in the past 24 hours. I have always liked fine examples of beef brisket. This is usually satisfied with pastrami and corned beef. Yesterday I had @Displaced Texan''s brisket. The best Texas Brisket I've ever had!!! @Mrs.Zeke haven't had the cake yet. Will post review when I do. I'm sure most are more interested in that than what range pants we all wear. FWIW, contrary to what some think of my food rules and dietary habits I supplied a vegetable to the gathering.

Listen, I've been watching this thread... and all of its speculation and innuendo, etc. Honestly, I'm not 100 percent sure what the facts are, but our rules call for no "personal attacks". As a small business owner myself, if someone is casting aspersions on my business (whether they're saying it's my fault or someone else's is irrelevant)… well, I would consider that a "personal attack" - because it's my livelihood, and what's more "personal" than that?! So, in the same way I chastised people who piled on after the suicide at TTC, I'm going to end this, too. @Caraj- if you have some issues that you feel Anythony C. at Gun for Hire can address, then please PM him directly. If you have a problem with the property owner (which sounds more the case), then have your lawyer reach out to his lawyer... or whatever. This is not a place for an ongoing "airing of grievances" that cast shade on someone's livelihood. Use PMs or chat on this issue going forward. If you have an issue, feel free to PM me. Locking this down.

This kind of stuff makes me cringe. People being reckless with something deadly is scary as hell. People taking selfies doing dumb stuff at the range, using phones while driving, etc. Danger to society.

Anybody interested in doing this?

This was actually on the news last night too. They wouldn’t even let them back in the range to get there personal belongings. They had someone gather their stuff while they explained how many rules they broke and how dumb they were and then banned them for life.

I beg to differ. That jackass, and his friend, is decidedly without holes. Mainly thanks to the quick action of the RSO.

Ok...be honest. How many cringed just watching this vid? I sure did...

Once the gun was on the table the RO should have beat his ass to leave a lasting impression

You have to hand it to the RO with how fast he took control of the guy's hand and showed them the door

Yeah. That’s been making the rounds. Idiots for sure. Larry Vickers offered the RO a free slot in one of his classes for his quick response.

the good guys all got tired of the walmart mentality/management requiring each employee to push/meet a credit card quota, and them straying from the original mantra of hiring knowledgable people with real world experience (mil/le) and became a hire anybody that would work in a gun store that would not allow you to carry concealed or otherwise irregardless if you were le or not and pay you $10 per hour........and then the managers are the typical retail managers, the firearm manager has 0 knowledge of firearms/laws/etc ... they follow a flow chart handed down from corporate, but have sold most/all(?) the high profile de shooting weapons since they opened...the delaware trooper murdered a couple years ago at the wawa and the standoff that followed at his parents house...yep cabelas sale...guy at counter attempted to shut that sale down...but manager said "not enough evidence to stop sale"..a couple weeks later it happened they are so scared of negative feedback/"racial" intimidation they are well known in de to be the place to go for the straw buyers....hell theres postings online of the right words and key phrases to use to raise hell and get a gift card up to $100 to use on your purchase that day....the place is a joke i had a few friends from the gun counter quit as a result of cabelas putting guns in the wrong hands in fear of being called racist i wouldn't spend my money there

Don't ever be fooled by any party affiliations. They're politicians. They're not in it for the public service or civic minded duty. The'll say whatever needs to be said for whatever they want at any given moment. If that was the mood of they room at the time then that's what you'll hear. They are liars.
