@basshole - it's a good thing you posted your question here, isn't it? One of the things that consistently amazed me when I first lurked on this site was seeing how often cops (and occasionally FFLs, too) give out the WRONG LEGAL INFO!!! Though granted, some of them have an anti-2A slant, I think ignorance is far more often the cause! For instance, in the last 4 years, there have been 3 different troopers that rotated through the firearms assignment at my local state police barracks. And that's NOT the only duty they're assigned --- the same person that processes the firearms paperwork is also the state police rep for the local municipalities (attending their town council meetings and dealing with issues that arise, etc.) and other duties as well. Firearms law in this state is quite complex - and yet, in some cases, the people tasked with doling out the info will almost inevitably be new to the role. I'm sure they get some kind of training... but if they're only in that rotational assignment a brief time, how can they ever really build expertise? So they could either constantly call the real experts at the firearms unit in Trention, or more likely, if they're rushed... on occasion, if they're just "pretty sure" about the answer (but still WRONG), I'm sure they just give out the wrong info anyway. Case in point... one of my girlfriend's inherited her son's guns when he (sadly) passed away. When the cop released the guns to her - he told her she "had to apply for an FPID within 30 days." It took me pulling up the same info online as W2MC just did (above) AND showing her several posts on NJGF to convince her that what he told her was total poppycock. LOTS AND LOTS of bad info being given out, unfortunately!

Knives don't jump up by themselves a kill like guns do.

Leave out some Count Chocula... they like that stuff

She's giving AVB some stiff competition in the short novel category.

Here is an article that is a worthy read IMO. https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/08/mass_shootings_the_elephant_in_the_room.html

I watched the trailer and read about the movie in the bio - it appears to be the 'Rich Elite" hunting 12 strangers. I see nothing that makes me think Liberal vs Conservative, left vs right, ect. but then again, i do not have a tin foil hat......

Sun Tzu.

The big problem that I see is that these people who are probably anti-social withdraw even more and there probably wouldn't be anybody nearby them to recognize this. It is an interesting point about those labeled as "mentally ill" not being violent.

Even worse, many here are potential knife killers, since they have one of these in their house:

Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., said there is a political movement brewing in the United States to try and overturn the Second Amendment in its entirety, and do away with a citizen's right to keep and bear arms

I think you are making a mistake. Do not dismiss socialists as stupid and having half a brain. They are definitely cunning and crafty. Otherwise they never would have made the "progress" they have in the past 30 years. Most of America is conservative. The problem is you have to prove to people that conservatism works. The last POTUS to do this was Reagan. That's why he took 49 states in 1984. Do not dismiss politics. Realistically politics is not getting everything you want. Politics is comprimise. Many will shout "no comprimise" and wind up with nothing. The idea is to.make the other side think they've won but they really got nothing. For example, support legislation that says every FFL has to provide a gun lock with every firearm sold. Yes, that does put a burden on FFLS and manufacturers that cost a few dollars which will be passed to the consumer. Many would see this as an attack on the RKBA. It would have little impact on that. But the left would proclaim a resounding victory.

https://www.njsp.org/firearms/firearms-faqs.shtml #10: direct from the NJ State Police If I inherit a firearm what must I do? Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2C:58-3j, a firearm purchaser identification card and/or a handgun purchase permit shall not be required for the passing of a firearm upon the death of an owner thereof to his/her heir or legatee, whether the same by testamentary bequest or by the laws of intestacy. The firearm must be legal to possess in New Jersey and the person receiving the firearm shall not be prohibited by N.J.S.A. 2C:58-3c before receiving the firearm. If the heir or legatee does not qualify to acquire and possess the firearm, then ownership may be retained for a period not to exceed 180 days provided the firearm is transferred to the chief law enforcement officer of the municipality or the superintendent during such period

Get some of those ultrasonic pest chaser things. They don't do crap for mice, but bats don't like them.

You have to wear some garlic around your neck to keep you safe.

The word got out, the others heard you were mean and said bad things about their brother last night.

Casa de Peel?

@Mrs. Peel either handyman is messing with you or he is more sensitive than a 7 year old girl. All rabies shots are in the arm(except for the first one which is at the location of the bite) and they do not inject you with a gallon of anything. It's not as bad as the flu shot. You have 14 days from exposure to get post exposure shots but then old wives tale that a bat can bite you and you would not even wake up is bullshit. They have teeth like cats and while that are sharp trust me it hurts to get bitten by a bat. I would know, I've been bitten twice. I'd recommend that you do not try to catch the bat yourself, you have the greatest risk of coming into contact with rabies that way. I picked up 10 or more bats every year that tested positive for rabies when I was an animal control officer. From now until the end of September is bat in house season in NJ and I hate to break it to you but yes you likely have several in your home. Pretty much every Victorian home has a few somewhere.

I bet if Zeke caught a bunch of the suckers he could make some Bat pate. And probably throw in some fruit. If they were fruit bats it would be even better.

Ya prolly jus one.... they don’t hang in a cloud

After aug 15th you are allowed to exclude them. By then all the babys are flying on their own. The rules were made for a reason, bats need all the help they can get if they die off were screwed.

I'm old enough... [ we already had a thread about voltage being down in areas. mine included has been erratic.

Someone owes somebody a nice steak dinner.

OK, sounds like the next NJGF Shotgun Shootout will be held at Mrs. Peel's house. Expect it to be called on short notice, and at night.

Here is the last word on dealing with bats. If you don't want to watch the whole clip, start around :45 and again around 4:15. The Office--bat episode

I bet the little demon mouse was just there to lay eggs. Thousands and thousands of eggs.

The 9 pellet 00 is fine as well. Look for "Flight control" LE13200 is all of that, plus low recoil. Thread over!

Federal Tactical 8 pellet 00. It's the cat's ass.

They only come out when you turn off the lights...

They are waiting until you fall asleep Nighty night.

Say whaaaa?

Nope, the post exposure vaccines aren't bad. It's the gallon of immune globulin that they have to dump under your skin until the shots take effect that makes it sucky.

Ok, I too am in an old Victorian. I don't want to get into the story because of the Bat Police but my episode didn't end well for one of us when the little bugger got into the house. My cats don't have their shots so we were all doing battle to see who could get it first. Anyway you want to check your attic. They'll hang out on the south side of what ever they find the darkest and warmest up there. Or you could turn off all the lights and sit there making a noise like a mosquito and see if they come to you. But check the attic first.

You need to be careful when you find a bat in your home, and in particular your bedroom. It is is a very small chance, but a bat in your home can be rabid, and can land on you when you are sleeping without your knowledge. They are relatively harmless otherwise, though creepy, and just like humans, they don't like to be disturbed when they are sleeping.
