I have 3 bricks for sale at 105$

Any crock pot work involved? Asking for a friend.

I was late teens when i saw that live on tv. I was like wth. Thats some wild stuff took it out of a paper envelope. Then blam. So is life.

Match.com? Oh, perhaps you meant to compare different models of generators. Consumer reports has their reviews behind a paywall, and I don't recall them rating natural gas generators anyway. Popular mechanics published this, but I think it is also limited to gas or gas/propane. generator reviews

I can't understand how you shoot yourself in the head and wind up in a hospital in serious condition! R Budd Dwyer demonstrated the proper way to do it on live TV!

if they want to kill themselves, let them

That was my wife's first handgun in 1979. A friend who shot police competition did a very minor trigger job on it and it shoots like a champ. It's a keeper. This article is mainly about the Classic 19 S&W introduced 39 years later in 2018, and comparisons between the two. But it also brought back some appreciation for the original.

Probably used a Glock instead of a Beretta.

Another thing to remember (in NJ) - If you are hunting with slugs, your shotgun MUST have rifle-type sights installed. Just a bead at the muzzle (standard shotgun configuration) is not legal for slug hunting. You can just go with the bead at the muzzle for buckshot. It sounds like you're coming in with hunting experience from another state. New Jersey hunting is a little different. You REALLY need to read the 2020 Hunting and Trapping digest - it covers all of these topics. You can find it in most places that sell hunting licenses, or read it on-line here: https://www.state.nj.us/dep/fgw/pdf/2020/dighnt20.pdf

The thing is, rational, sane people are trying to justify these actions. When someone is mentally ill, it's almost impossible for a rational person to understand or justify. We can speculate all we want, but unless someone knows EXACTLY what was going on in his head and what his personal demons are, all we are doing is making a judgemental call, with zero facts. Substance abuse, overdoses and suicides are WAY up since all these lockdowns have been implemented.

I personally like .and hunt deer with 270, 30-30, .308, .30--06, 44 mag, and 450 Bushmaster. We are required to use a minimum of .23 caliber in VA. I am not sure about .223 for deer. Can they kill a deer, yes, but so can a 22LR. The only bullet I would use with a .223 for deer would be something like a Barnes TSX solid copper bullet. I like a slower big bullet for deer. My cleanest kills have been with bigger slower bullets. I would choose a modern inline muzzleloader over a .223 every time.

I've done 5 handguns on an exemption and a shotgun on the same NICS. I picked up a handgun, not on the exemption the week before that too.

Well he was not a loner and there with other friends and a loner might be a red flag. I would imagine that if the gun wasn't rented that he used one of his friends' firearms if he didn't own one. A range would be more inclined to rent to a group of people (having fun). Has anyone ever committed suicide with his own gun at a range when he could choose just about any place, unless he wanted an audience or wanted someone to try and save him (or her)? I am speculating, but the problems we are having with our culture, government, media, lockdowns, etc... will provide a rash of shortened lives with the subsequent increase in mental illness. I am not so sure I would refer to an ill person as a wing nut though the term is being used correctly..

CCI Standard Velocity Lead Round Nose says "Hold my beer." $160 for a brick of 22.

I have a Kohler standby on my current house and my old house (I installed both of them myself). I did lots of research after Sandy (2012) and although Kohler is a bit more expensive, it is much better than the Generac's. Kohler is US made (motor, parts, board, etc -- buy American!). The Generac sources parts by the lowest bidder (probably mostly Chinese). So if it ever breaks, you may have a hard time finding the correct parts for it. The one I put on my new house, this year, I got from Nationwide Generators in IL. They do not charge state t.a.x, so saved a bunch of $$$ there. The one at the old house is still going strong after 8 years! The only thing I've had to replace in the old one was the starter battery (as lead acid batteries only last about 5 or so years).

Sadly, this is the truth. If someone wants to commit suicide, there's not much you can do to stop them. Remember, firearms are only used in 50% of attempts. There's many other options/methods. This incident will just be used again to try and show an inanimate object (the gun) is the main issue.

Well I went this morning. Very friendly staff, waivers on tablets take a few minutes, and purchased some targets. 37 bucks for two of us. We got there around 9am and plenty of lanes open. Shelf below lane to keep your bag. Controls are cool as you can set them to move to various distances and turn during a sequence. Even have flashing lights if you want them. RSO showed us how to use it but we just stuck with the 25yds and no sequence changes. First time time the wife ever fired a weapon. That with a retired NYPD father and uncle and a brother who’s a local LEO. I think I created a monster. 100 plus rounds of 223 later and it was all smiles. Iron sighs only as that’s how I learned. I was shocked how well she did once she got past the initial nervousness. Great first experience at Recoil.

I'm not sure what that was selling for 6 months ago, but there are a few top-end .22 match rounds that cost around $20 for a box of 50 in the very best of times. In past shortages, the expensive stuff goes up in price very little; it's the cheap .22 ammo that doubles or triples in cost. Though that's not much consolation if you don't need the high-end ammo.

Paul Harrell Rocks! I love his dry sense of humor. His site is a treasure trove, especially for new shooters... This video isn't largely for beginners, though, but here are some thoughts during the ammo shortage...

i wouldn't sweat derailing a thread. they all get derailed eventually, lolol.

Remember the Zeeker.

Scorpio I have a large quantity of this ammo on hand, so much so I don’t want to disclose the total amounts online until they get to a resemble number. I have a considerable amount of Aguila and Federal. I’m running low on Winchester and CCI quiet and I’ll post those exact amounts. When one of them sells out that item will be removed and I’ll update the totals on hand as they sell. As mentioned I’m not some random stranger I’ve done over a dozen transactions selling ammo alone on pafoa.org since I posted this. I’m a member of the Bridgeton Gun Club. Ive probably met some of you guys on this forum, because a large portion of the club has a lot of NJ members.

Here's a little AOC (Donkey Face humor)
