Looks like a Cheaper than Dirt catalog threw up in the corner @Ray Ray

Hi all. Sorry if this is in the wrong place. I'm new forgive me. I just wanted to relate my experience with getting a change of address on my FID and pistol permits in Rutherford. I filled out the online form on a Sunday. Next morning my references got an email to fill out the online reference form. I also received a call from a detective just to confirm I had applied and asked if I had any questions. 18 days later I got another call that I could pick up my FID and permits. The Rutherford PD was polite, courteous, and professional. Everyone I dealt with was great and answered any questions I had. This was a fantastic experience compared to my dealings with another town which took forever and gave me the "why do you need a gun" treatment. Once again, Rutherford PD was a pleasure to deal with, and the detective I talked with apologized for the long wait and said that they were working through some issues with the new online system, and assured me that next time would be faster.

Because the RO can't hang on every port all the time.

I don't understand your point here at all. Notre Dame is one of the most visited buildings on the globe... of course it's a French "national icon". I think you're parsing words, and incorrectly at that. False flag! The roof would be highly visible from the exterior - therefore something with an outwardly modern appearance would be an obscenity. I may have not expressed myself exactly right! I apologize. I actually don't eschew the thought of incorporating modern materials which may be stronger, lighter, more fire resistant, etc. I'm not a complete Luddite! LOL. But outward appearances should be restored even if the framework is modernized. Also, skylights pose their own risk... not only in terms of damage to interior paintings and artifacts (there's a REASON museums are not bathed in sunlight, it's to protect the artwork), but also because there's a certain quiet, and yes, reverential tone that's created in a dark space. What I find most disturbing is this secular "push" (of you and many others) to downplay or blot out the fact that it was created as a house of God... and serves that purpose to this day! Why must secular types always try to tear town, overwrite, or stamp out "beauty" just because it's rooted in religion? I've never understood that tendency! There's something mean, ugly and controlling about it. Oh, yes, by all means...let's take an awe-inspiring, centuries-old cathedral that still serves as a house of God and turn it into.. a farmer's market!

Didn't realize today was JW3 opening.... rushed out to see it. Huge fan of 1 and 2, a bit more 2 so was really excited to see 3. Not going to spoil the story but can talk about it. The good... They tied the story really well and the trailers are all explained, i.e. Winston, Sam Jackson's character, Halle Berry. We also get a better history on where JW comes from and if he actually is a Slav! Well done fight scenes. If you are a fan if Halle Berry, you will not be dissapointed. Yes, she looks older than she did in Bond, but did her part. Great acting, good fight scenes and very well with the dogs. Speaking of which, if you are a fan of dogs... you will really like JW3. We also see more of Winston and the Concierge which is nice... A Russian guy that actually speaks Russian! The Neutral Observations... Seems like JW switched to NY Safe mags... at least in the scenes in NY... he kept reloading like every 7 to 8 rounds! On standard capacity 2011 9mm magazines which should easily hold 20! Gun of the movie is certainly not the STI 2011 but rather Glocks... Glock 17, 19, 34, both with and without slide mounted optics. Every bad guy carried a Glock... or a sword. The Bad... What I believe made JW1 and 2 great is that they made those movies and did not know how succesful they were going to be. They were dark, real, solid stories, quite a bit of mystique. JW3... they knew it was a license to print money and it showed. While the plot answered questions... it really did seem like a straight up 2 hours worth of fighting... which got old. I really wish they spent more time developing the plot rather than take what made JW1 and 2 great.... and simply focus on those things.... because then what you have is a forced masterpiece which just does not work as well. I.e... lots of forced stupid jokes, bad guys who die and then immediate get up, start talking and making jokes, a really strange bromance with some bad guys, etc. Another one is repeating "cool" fight moves that are now just annoying. I.e. in previous movies we saw JW stab someone and then smack it sword/knife, whatever in all the way with the other hand... in this movie... that is seemingly ALL he does. You also have some sloppy editing.... one character looses a small body part.... in some shots... you saw the lazy editing and it was there in a few frames then gone the next.... a wtf also when one of the dogs is shot and we think they are dead then in another scene they are suddenly there again. Tactical stupidity... They go shopping for guns for final fight scene in Winston's safe room... they see the bad guys are wearing full "upgraded" armor and all have select fire MP5s with cans on them.... they go for handguns... (this is where JW straps on his STI 2011) YET there are racks of perfectly better rifles on the wall... ffs. Corny winston humor around the same time... TOOOOOOOO much swords/knives.... I think more guys were killed in the movie by swords than knives... No more focus on cars (charger, mustang, etc) So yeah.... Still good movie and worth seeing it in theaters... but absolutely felt like they knew it would be a hit and this really is about making as much money as possible with the least effort, focusing on the strongest parts of JW BUT they forgot the balance. Actually reminded me... it's like applying the Fast and Furious model to the movies. And yes oh yes, there will be at least 2 or 3 more movies...

They should never have gotten rid of the draft.

^^^CAN I GET AN AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMEN!? Often the RSO's are tied-up watchin' the Zombie killers tryin' to do half-assed mag dumps with their AR's into a zombie target that's only 5-7 yards away. Enforcing the "NO RAPID FIRE" Rule can be very distracting to everyone on the firing line, even RSO's, especially with center fire rifles indoors. Once a RSO gets "tuned-in" to THAT, it takes a while to resume "patrol" of the other shooting ports. RSO's are front line Customer Service Representatives (CSR's), and as such they can't be a "Hit & Run Dick" just bossing you around. They have to "schmooze" with clients and promote good will while enforcing SAFETY. Each "schmooze" takes time. And no one can be everywhere at once! Again, well stated Ray! ~R

Nah, they’re all loaded with birdshot. Bring a rifle, You’ll be fine.

I guess he couldn't GET TO DA CHOPPA

Thanks for the Write up - Can't wait to see it myself - Love Wick!

I'm going to use the Track Day analogy for this: I've done several track days, and mostly at the same track/course. The last event I went to they stuck me in the "advanced" class because of my experience (and lack of crashing.) When the call went out for "who wants an instructor" my hand went up. The lead guy for the event looked at me funny and asked "why?" Answer: because there's always something more/new to learn. I'm going to agree with some/most of Maks's comments, except the DD one... tax stamps are a violation in my book.

Looks like we have alot of libs showing their true colors here. Lets keep it true and keep it clean. Red white and blue. !!!!!!!!!!

Just what he needs. A shit and piss soaked outdoor carpet.

sonofabitch! I shoulda asked you to sit that one out, 'cause I knew you'd know that, lolololol I find it quite surprising how many people didn't know that.

The ammonia will break down on it's own, there is not real cure for an over "fertilized" lawn. YOu can water the area to percolate the chemicals into the ground, but you will most likely turn it area in to a mud wrestling pit, especially if your soil is heavy clay. You may want to try out seed mats if the dogs will be running up and down the stairs to do their business. They are fairly expensive and are not as good as a properly done seed job, but this is a special circumstance.

Why stop at Newbie? You can own cars & trucks w/o a driver's license. You can own cars & trucks being legally blind, sitting in a nursing home. Even a 230mph Bugati... So tell me why you need to be young, virile or sighted to own gunz? Owning doesn't mean squeezin' the trigger. Some people own gunz just to wipe them with oily rags & put them back on display Renting hand cannons to Newbies & not instructing them is simply bad bidness. ~R

Using his son Andrew's .22LR Marlin single-shot bolt-action "Little Buckeroo", Rosenthal then conducted a safety class on the Club's "Safe Table", where fellow Police Practical Competition (PPC) and USPSA action shooters holster-up prior to a match. Rosenthal is OBR&PC's PPC League Co-Chair & Match Director, and bought that youth model Marlin a quarter of a century ago to mentor his own 4 year old, now a 29 year old married PA home owner. Yes, it's a Marlin "Little Buckaroo", a Model 15YN to be exact. I found a video showing how nice the wood is. A great trainer meant for really small kids. My sone was 4 when I bought this rifle. Over 25 years ago.

When I take a new shooter to the range the first time they shoot anything more than a 22 I have them do the "Barney Fife Drill". Load one round and fire. See how they control the firearm and handle the recoil.

I think Obama was referring to the Pillars of Islam. 48 States LOL. I did not even notice that Well the code is old so i'm sure its referring to how many states when it was written... OORRRRRR We dumped Ca and HI which is fine The flag of the United States shall be thirteen horizontal stripes, alternate red and white; and the union of the flag shall be forty-eight stars, white in a blue field. It was Written in 1947.. But the color specs still stand.

Exactly. You don't ask lol. Ray - for you. https://guntalk.com/news/guns/bought-m1a-now-what

They were called "invasion stripes" used to identify Allied aircraft during the Invasion of Normandy. Approval to do so came just weeks before the invasion. Lots of planes to paint them on in a short time. The Invasion of Sicily resulted in a lot of Allied planes shot down by friendly fire. Many paratroopers were lost after their planes were shot down. Something bigger than the national insignia was needed to ID aircraft. Someone came up with the idea of invasion stripes. It worked.

"Steel case may be okay as range fodder, but I would not bet my life on it in a life or death situation." Couple million Russian and Eastern Bloc servicemen might argue that point.

I'm a former Boy Scout Charter Organization Representative (C.O.R.) with almost 20 years in & around the scouting program. Our Troop would accept ANY flag that has THE stars & stripes on it for proper retirement & burial. And YES, that includes "Blue Line" US Flags! The Elks actually publish the complete written set of rules covering flag etiquette. Published long ago, they're not "up-to-speed" with "Blue Line" US Flags with the stars & stripes, as no mention currently exists. Yes, it's a personal decision AT THIS TIME. But everyone here ask yourselves a question: Does the Blue Line flag symbolize everything good about this country, AND recognize the fallen who have died on the line for us? If you answer in the affirmative, IT'S A FLAG and needs to be retired with DIGNITY the same as every other! STOP picking at nits & just DO THE RIGHT THING and SET AN EXAMPLE for our youth! Rosey Sacred Heart Church Troop #95 Charter Organization Representative (C.O.R.) Central Jersey Scout Council (now Monmouth Council) P.S.: Flag Day is June 14th. OBR&PC is collecting flags to be retired. Retirement Ceremony to take place at: Old Bridge American Legion Post 177 17 Emerson Street, East Brunswick, NJ 08816 In years past, the .22 Youth League at Old Bridge R&P would collect un-serviceable flags and transport them to their retirement HERE. After a somber ceremony and a dousing by East Brunswick Fire Co., the ashes were later buried off-site. Then all in attendance were invited to stay for burgers & dogs courtesy of the Post. I know all of this because MY SON & I WERE THERE! I could make a call or two and find out if they're having it this year...just give the word!

Wow. Your wife loves you. I asked for a 1903 Springfield and was denied.
