Just discussed this with Mrs Tex.... She already knew about these areas and we won’t be in them. Told me to STFU, that I need a vacation, and she’s got this handled. I trust her judgement, and I’m smart enough to know when not to argue with her...so I’ll STFU.

By any chance are you booked on the Corona Princess?

What I believe we're going to see in a short while is the hospitals and medical centers get overwhelmed with people wanting to be tested. NYC has seen a major ramp up in cases in the last day or two. This will spook people, who, when they have any flu symptoms, think they have the COVID, so they will run to the E.R. to get tested. What will happen is there will be 100's of people, sitting shoulder to shoulder, coughing and spewing on each other. The ones who don't have the COVID going in, will have it going out. This is what happened in Wuhan...... ......""We are 10 days from the hospitals getting creamed,” Tom Bossert, who was Trump’s homeland security adviser until he was ousted in 2018, told NBC News. Bossert was never replaced, and Trump eliminated the national security council jobs related to disease outbreaks. In an op-ed in The Washington Post published Monday, Bossert said that unless the U.S. closes schools, halts public gatherings and takes other steps to reduce community transmission, the country is headed for the sort of crisis Italy is now facing, with hospitals overwhelmed by elderly people in need of critical care." https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/live-blog/coronavirus-updates-live-u-s-europe-brace-infection-spread-italy-n1153801/ncrd1154211#liveBlogHeader

Ok.... that’s funny

The catching of it isn't really the big deal. It's getting stuck on the wrong side of a quarantine or across an ocean without a flight home.

You're on the fast track so far. Hope you don't wait too many months for the NJFL and FFL to be issued.

Are all three of the above sentences in the same context?

So... The zoning permit is in hand! I can now call NJSP and ATF and get the paperwork ball a'rolling. My buddy and I moved the safe and some other extraneous furniture in this weekend. Moving a safe onto the second floor of a building is truly NOT fun. Signs are on the doors in the building. Lights have been upgraded to LED. Printer is in and seems to be working (hand me down freebie). Filing cabinets are in place. I'm heading to Best Buy to look at computers now. But wanted to check in and fill in the blanks from the weekend and today.

At this point in time - as opposed to 6 weeks ago or so, much more is known but still a lot of unknows - the media has whipped this and the sheeple into such a frenzy, that their reactions to it, are more worrisome than the virus itself. Once again, what I still fear most is the irrational behaviour of humans, to a crisis, it might still be time to load rifle mags in lieu of just HG/Shotties as would be a normal scenario for HD. *If* the masses are whipped into a frenzy enough, that is when things start to become a tipping point, just look at Black Friday sales, the animals are out. Now it is I gots to get my my hand sanitizer's !!! Interesting times to say the least.......

If it’s a pandemic, that means the quarantine scenario has failed and the spread is uncontrollable. So to say that it’s a pandemic pretty much means quarantine is no longer a viable way to control the outbreak. I am not sure we are there yet but maybe so. The fact with this virus is that 85% of the people who get it will get anywhere from no symptoms to mild fever, headache, sniffles and coughing. 15% will have a more severe reaction with 90% of those recovering. Because it is a respiratory issue those with underlying health issues, ie. Emphysema, asthma, COPD, etc., or elderly with other heath issues are the at risk group that should be focused on here. When you see these numbers of infected, just remember most will recover from it without an issue and because the virus can present with no issues at all it is nearly impossible to tell the total number of cases. The ones we are hearing about are generally ones that are presenting symptoms though they are testing those in certain cases like the cruise ships. You cannot get a mortality rate for a disease without a solid number of infected and with this one the total number of infected is probably massively higher then the official number, they are just people that had no real reaction or so mild they just ignored it. I think the count of US dead is at 22 so far but the infected count could be in the tens of thousands with most not even knowing they have/had it so were never tested for it. That would make the mortality rate around the normal flu rate by way of comparison. https://www.webmd.com/lung/coronavirus#1 There is a lot of panic right now but stick with the basics, diluted bleach and Lysol go a long way in killing this and most other viruses and bacteria. Washing hands is so basic I’m amazed people need to be told this stuff. Wiping counters and sinks with Lysol or Clorox wipes is pretty much common sense during flu season too. It’s a scary world people, stay safe out there... -Jim

https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/gun-owners-of-america-applies-for-a-red-flag-order-for-senator-charles-schumer/ Seriously, THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN to ANY politician that supports these things, and makes any statement that can even be remotely 'threataning' There's also been at least one case so far of an inmate filing for a Red flag order against a Sheriff in Colorado---

@DonkeyPunch WHOA NELLIE! You're from Dreamland & have a lot to grasp. Where you come from (where is THAT, exactly?) things are much simpler. The laws are written WITH the USCON in mind. Here in Joisey, ALL firearms are inherently ILLEGAL (they start-out that way!), and therefore exist in the hands of us serfs only through the use of EXCEPTIONS & EXEMPTIONS as stipulated in the 2C Firearms Statutes and case law. The answer @DirtyDigz gave you is 10,000% CORRECT! You sir owe him an apology and need to do some serious homework! I'm considered an authority on this subject, am well-known throughout the NJ 2nd Amendment community, and as the Vice President of the busiest 2A group in NJ, have appeared too many times to mention at various venues up & down the state. I lecture on this subject, as it's my WHEELHOUSE! I have 48 years of experience behind the trigger, am a former Trustee of my local R&P club, I'm currently a Match Director of a hand gun league (Police Practical Competition---PPC), shoot action leagues competitively, etc., etc., etc. To just skim the surface of what I & most of the NJGF elders know, suggest you visit https://www.cnjfo.com/news and https://www.JustifiableNeed.com . A NJ Judge was already DISBARRED for the way in which he oversaw a trial, refused attempts by the Defense Counsel to enter the aforementioned EXEMPTIONS INTO EVIDENCE, and the way he charged the Jury! The case was Brian Aitken's. Aitken wrote a book entitled, "Blue Tent Sky". There's a GOLDMINE of 2A reality in there that every NJ gun owner should READ! This video is about 14 months old. A friend of mine drove almost 3 hours to get there to do it. I & a few other #2AHeavyLifters have been invited back for March 26th and they rented a hotel meeting room for the event. @DonkeyPunch Suggest you do some homework so you truly grasp what it is to be a NJ gun owner in the Communist People's Republic of New Jerseystan!

Just got word Towson University is closing early for spring break and told the students to prepare for an extended period of remote/ web based classes after break next week.

Wax on wax off. I've been using this wax for 30 + years

It’s getting interesting out there... Flight Headed To New Jersey Diverted After Passengers Seated Next To Person Sneezing, Coughing Became Disruptive

Possession of firearms in NJ is illegal .... EXCEPT under certain exempted locations/situations. Since possession is illegal by default, the burden of proof is on the possessor to show that they are in an exempted location/situation.

I am going to go with both, but will add two more beliefs that are not in a gray area.... The politicians are not just ignorant but are utterly stupid, and like power just a little too much. It is sad when all they way up to the elitist gov. there is no justice or common sense beginning with the officer(s) and the DA. What is the charge besides hollow-brained legislation pertaining to the firearm?

I don’t piss her off...she scares me a little.

I can run someone over on purpose while going to the range to shoot my hollowpoint ammo. Can I be charged with illegal possession? NO. ETA: One can only be charged of illegally possessing HPs if they are outside the exemptions, PER THE LAW. There is no such thing as an add-on charge. It's like stopping someone for driving with a headlamp out, and you find that they were drunk. Charge them with DUI and the equipment violation. If not drunk, or no other violation is there, let them go. Is the headlamp an add-on charge? NO.

Anywhere off the main roads after dark can be bad. In a car, not as much, but on foot? Stick around the tourist areas, you're fine. Groups of 3 or more are rarely affected. Wherever there are street lights, you're generally fine. Muggings do happen. Don't carry all your money, have a tossable money clip with like $8 in ones. If accosted, toss it and run the other way, he'll go for the money. You probably won't have any trouble, so don't sweat it. Head on a swivel. Behave like you're carrying and skels pick up on it and will leave you alone.

Well, it could be harmful to you bank account. You could also end up homeless when the hotel brings in the next guest and you're on the street. Yes, it could happen in a worse place, but then again the USVI really isn't that great outside of the tourist areas.

Yes GRIZ, I was referring to the statement you’ve made in the past about this subject, just didn’t want to put your name out. As I said in my original post, “so much for the saying”, but some people who don’t comprehend the English language too well, were asking “where in the statutes does it say ‘add on charge’ “ and other comments about the statutes. I never said it was law or even unwritten policy, just that you had stated it was normally not an only charge, but an added on secondary charge in most cases. Thanks for posting.

Isn't the head admin Maximinivich?

Mods don't run the backend for the site... Not seeing any slowness issues here but I will ping Maks.

It's kinda interesting how concerned he's getting over local/county actions he calls "meaningless". If they're so "meaningless", why does he care...

The agency I worked for adopted the S&W 6906 in the 80s and Glock 19 in the 90s. People with small hands had no problem adapting to them. Just my experience.

Cz P10c has a slimmer grip than the Glock 19. I had a Glock 19, P10c , and P320. P320 had the bulkiest grip. I sold off my P10c only because I had a rifle that also took Glock 19 mags. P10c is closein size to 19 but with a slimmer grip. The Glock 48/43x is smaller overall and couple be a little snappy. Same with P365/365XL. I hope that helps!

Fixed your post.

Lying, by itself, is not a crime. Lying, to cover up a crime, is a crime.

And Americans in Italy are free to fly home and probably won't face any screening. DHS said yesterday, don't get on a cruise ship. I would have thought that to be obvious since about January 20 when this thing became a global story. I have a co-worker who's brother is stuck on a cruise ship near the Caymen islands and is not allowed to dock. That one isn't in the news yet or it may have resolved, I'm not entirely sure. No plague ships for me! There is a very real chance that people will get in a quarantine zone. This is why you need to have weeks worth of food on hand, not because there is going to be a supply problem. If I'm told to hang out at home? It's a vacation! There is a police enforced quarantine in California. Everyone knows that the infection in California never stays there. Look at the gun laws. Some dunce who was in Quarantine took his daughter to a father daughter dance and will probably be responsible for a cluster in St Louis. This is why quarantines needs to be enforced. Too many people feel that they can't be bothered.

There was someone on here selling a Springfield 1911 EMP 4, nice shooter, slim grip. I enjoy shooting mine, Don't know why is not more popular.

Maybe you never read it, but in past discussions about some people’s “concerns” about traveling even to from the range with hollow points, it has been stated by a former LEO here, that they never heard of anyone being charged with possession of them without another more serious charge. If you don’t want to believe it, nothing I can do about it.

I have small hands, too - and not terrific grip/arm strength either. That said, I've often been surprised at how many factors go into how "comfortable" a gun is for me - yes, the width of the grip, but also the recoil, the grippiness/stickiness, and the ergonomics. (For instance, for whatever reason, even a double stack with a curved backstrap fits into my hand sooo much more comfortably, it's amazing). Then you've also got guns like the M&P series (I believe?) that has the modular style grips where you can pop in larger or smaller parts to adjust to hand size. And, of course, you have just slimmer grips you can buy for 1911's for instance. It's pretty dizzying if she's new to this (is she?). My advice is have your wife go to one of the meetings/open shoots of either The Well-Armed Woman (TWAW) or Second Amendment Women (SAW). Each organization has more than one chapter in the state - between the 2 they're really all over NJ. She will be able to go there (and pretty sure you can go as a non-member at least the first time) and have an entire row of ports filled with guns that women have chosen for themselves (many of whom also have small hands). She can go to each port - pick the gun up, shoot it, see how it feels, etc. She may even want to hit a couple of different chapter meetings. After that process, she'll probably have tried at least 20+ guns and will likely have developed a shortlist of options. If interested, please PM me and let me know where you live, I'll get back to you with the meetings that would be closest to your household or her workplace. (And BTW, she's always welcome to come to the next TWAW meeting at Tactical Training Center in Flemington, NJ, if that's not too far for her. That's where I go & I would be happy to meet her there and be her shooting buddy for the evening!)

Fug Bk and the rest of the fast food places that crap is a step away from poison. I wouldn't it to my dogs.

The employer should be paying his legal fees and any other bills since they provided him with the ammo. The police dept should be paying also for framing this guy.

We have had former LEOs on here in the past, state that they've never heard of anyone getting charged for possession of JHP Ammo if no other crime was committed, that it was always an "add on" charge. Thats why I posted what I posted.

should arrest and fire the cop.

I'm usually not big on lawsuits, but this guy should own the town when he's done.

Remember NOBODY elected this Dooooshe Bag!

A lot of gas jockeys at my local stations

Let's also remember that a majority of the fatalities occurred in China, where the citizens are generally malnourished, have been breathing very toxic air every day for many years, and have that lovely socialized healthcare. I bet the number of people in China that die from the common flu or a cold is also higher compared to the US.

This shit is all MSM driven! Not ONE person has died in the US from the Corona virus and 10,000 HAVE died from our regular flu season! This is all bullshit driven by the Dems to bring down our President......IT WON'T WORK!

Just remember, with brass/lead, you can get all the gold and silver you want!!

This just popped on my FB feed and, I think, covers it perfectly
