It’s not vegetables, but it makes me happy. My irises just popped today. They are amazeballs!

Remember to take breaks and stay hydrated!

And this one bears repeating ... to EVERYONE you know

We should know on Monday.

Hi All, I've made a few post, but figure I should do a proper introduction. I grew up in the midwest, but left there when I joined the Marines. After doing my 4 years active, I ended up settling in Southern California and lived there until 2012. My wife grew up in North Philly and Bucks County, PA, so we ended up relocating out here on the east coast back in 2012 to be near family. We tried the Philly burbs bit for awhile, but missed living near the ocean, so I voluntarily forfeited my 2A rights to live in Ocean County near the shore. I'll pause for the laughter... Hey a happy wife is a happy life as they say! I do enjoy the water, kayaking, etc... but for the past four years since I relocated to NJ I pretty much put my shooting past time on hold. And oh, have I missed it dearly. I've been incredibly busy with work and family and just getting settled in to the area, but if I'm being honest part of me was reluctant to succumb to the states requirements for an FID. Seeing as I can't even purchase ammo without one, well... that finally ended! From the shooting perspective I like it all, but my main interest is in defensive training. I'm looking into what training is available locally, as well as what's available within reasonable travel distances that I might be able to make it to in the next year. I've done a few IDPA shoots in the past and would love to get more into the competitive side if even just for the fun. I'd also like to get involved in fixing some of the draconian laws in this state, especially the ridiculous conceal carry restrictions. Moving out of PA and giving that up was not an easy pill to swallow! Not to mention all the firearms restrictions, but I know I'm preaching to the choir. I look forward to getting to know people here and hopefully meeting up for some events and shoots in the future!

Am I the only one that holds my breath when I see updates to this thread?

I'll be planting tomorrow. I have no idea how I lasted this long inside but everything is looking great. I put most stuff in pots and the green beans are already flowing. Need to get these guys pollinated. Storms supposed to roll in this evening so give ill give them one more day, looks like we shouldn't dip below freezing again. I got some gear to put in a drip irrigation system so that's gonna be nice to have

This is very confusing to me. If a law is facially contrary to the Constitution that is what it is from the moment it is signed into law. When a court finds a law to be unconstitutional the people who have been pretending it is valid are finally forced to face the truth, but the law was unconstitutional all along. Any prior convictions under an unconstitutional law have to be nullified because the law used to convict was no law at all. For a law to be constitutional until it is reviewed by a court is crazy! For this to work, every single law would have to be reviewed and there is just not enough court time to do that. All public officials swear an oath to uphold the Constitution. If they make a mistake - OK fine, a court reviews and everybody learns from it. To decide not to even consider the Constitution is dereliction of that oath - for all officials at every level.

Dumbasses. https://mobile.twitter.com/TrakeMorgan/status/1260156907144298496

I don’t think they realize they are stupid, therefore it would count.

@Downtownv formatting.....again! Lol

I'm tellin' ya ... The dirty bookstores and rub-n-tugs will be open WAAAY before Gopher opens our ranges. It's just the way he rolls.

Hanging a Triffid by the roots won’t kill it. Ya need seawater!

It's really sad that a meme spread throughout the internet has a simple spelling mistake.

You lost me at the word, "priviledge". We are all citizens with equal rights, not priviledges.

He's not pulling Triffids yanno.

This is really getting ridiculous. State parks, golf courses, gun stores but shooting ranges where you can practice are closed? Now beaches opening. How does he expect to show any fairness or objectivity in the upcoming court cases? I wish Alito could do something, I know he's on our side.

Yeah, I was looking for an easy way out. Weeding by hand really sucks. The funny thing is that my crops barely grew at all after all that bed construction (and rabbit fencing), but the weeds come on like gangbusters. I can't justify paying Zeke to clear it out until my covid bribes start coming in.

Just pull it. It won't take that long. If you want, leave a couple nailed to a board, hanging by the roots as a warning to the others.

It's padding to protect against bottles, sticks, rocks and other Antifa weapons.

I agree with this 100%. To say "The fact is a law doesn't become unconstitutional until a court says it is." is simply not true. This would be akin to the Nuremburg Defense "Just following orders". A police officer should use judgement and experience to decide.

Advice well taken...

Like a great pair of broken in jeans! Guess you got that scattergun broken in to perfection! sweeeeeet!

Well don't hold it for too long, or we'll have to put you on a ventilator. And you know how THAT ends.

Actually, believe it or not, the RECOIL of a 12 ga low-brass shot shell is enough to make the slicked-up action "self-extract" on my Winchester Model 1300 Featherweight pump shotty. Look to my right for the black shotshell. This image, taken by @Krdshrk Here's the photo caption from the CNJFO Facebook page of August 21, 2016: DON'T DO THIS AT HOME KIDS! Rosey needs a little mustard to go with the "Hot-Doggin'"! No clay left in the sky & a self-ejected low-brass 12 ga. 3-dram hull in mid-air means he DUSTED the clay employing "strong-hand-ONLY" shooting technique which he perfected at Old Bridge R&P Club years ago. He now averages 50% on these "Trick-Shots"! Many great clay busters attended, some bringing 4-5 scatterguns for unarmed folks to try their hand at clays shooting. The group of NJGF members always "Police their own" by watching muzzle direction & obeying all safety rules. Several bring the new electric throwers, so multiple cases of birds get blown to bits. If you ever thought about learning how to break some clays, consider yourself invited & follow the group on New Jersey Gun Forums.

How about the "Governor's license" that we granted some Massachusetts financial douchebag who was Ambassador to Germany for giving Obama beaucoup dollars ... can we yank HIS license??

Respectfully - what I don't understand is, why don't they just open up? Then when someone physically shows up to shut them down, they actually have a case. It looks like the food/beverage scene has been brave enough to do that.

Thanks all. Glad to be here. I look forward to getting to know people and meeting some of you in the near future.

You're welcome! Here's the video I forgot to post. It's a lecture to the NJ Constitutional Republicans on "Incrementalism" and how it affected gun ownership throughout my lifetime: We also have made several friends in the Womens Shooting community. Our Communications Director, Theresa Inacker, has been invited to attend several chapter meetings of The Well Armed Woman, NJ's largest all-female shooting group. I had the pleasure of attending with her earlier this year prior to the Covid BS. Here we are at the Garden State Shooting Center in Lakewood, NJ attending the TWAW Jersey Shore OC Chapter: To learn more about The Well Armed Woman chapters in NJ, please visit: https://twawshootingchapters.org/find-a-local-chapter/ and scroll to "New Jersey". NJ currently has 5 Chapters. 1 at each RTSP Range, 1 at Reloaderz, 1 at Garden State Shooting Center and 1 at Tactical Training Center in Flemington. That ought to give not only YOU, but lots of LURKERS something to "chew on"! Take care & hope to see you at one of the ranges I'm fighting to open up! ~R

Tell me you aren't embarrassed and bothered by this. And when this becomes the public image of the police, who do you think is going to support them? The police, in general, rely on the compliance, trust, support and cooperation of the community to make their job easier; to go home every night to their families, as they like to say. When their public image becomes of jackboot thugs enforcing perceived unfair and capricious laws, that trust is eroded and the results won't be good.

They earn that "priviledge" by putting their lives on the line for 20+ years.

I forgot how good of a photographer you are, well done sir.

I agree, the first few minutes of drama are unnecessary but the meat of the video is good.

Got a Hoe? Is @Zeke for rent? they will grow back, but pulling weeds is part of the chore. I know someone who sprays their garden down with roundup in early may, im well aware of the concerns with its use. I use it all over my property but not in the garden. Although, if you can give yourself a few weeks before planting in there I don't see it being that big of an issue... but who knows, Monsanto isn't the most honest. Unfortunately, good organic gardens require a ton of your attention.
