These. Suppressed. I fart louder.

McDonald's McRib is coming back. And this time, it's going nationwide. For the first time in nearly a decade, the fast food chain is making the fan-favorite sandwich available at all of its 14,400 US restaurants when it hits menus on December 2. In previous years, the McRib was only sold at some locations, which sparked excitement and subsequent long lines — a no-no in this time of social distancing. Described as "saucy, tangy, tender and shamelessly delicious," the McRib first appeared on menus nearly 40 years ago. The sandwich is a boneless pork patty, shaped like a rack of ribs and smothered in barbecue sauce. So I, for one, cannot wait. One of my few guilty pleasures.

@xXxplosive: You are making a number of strong assertions, having never been to RTSP yourself and just relying on what your son conveyed to you as his one time experience. Maybe you may want to consider giving them a break and then see for yourself, first hand and then decide. Yes, RTSP is expensive compared to many other ranges, but I find that you usually get what you pay for and I have been pleased with my experiences at their ranges in both Randolph and Union. IMHO, they are one of the best gun ranges/gun retailers/firearm retailers in NJ. I do agree with you that there is an added risk of shooting at any public gun range with others who are new to firearms, first-time shooters and folks who just walk in, (drive in), off the street to shoot. That is why when I was a member I would only go there to shoot during the members-only hours, since it was usually less crowded. Yet, more importantly, I was confident and perceived that almost all of the other members there with me were knowledgeable and experienced gun enthusiasts who knew the range rules and practiced safe operating procedures. If I wanted to practice drawing from my holster and double-tapping a target at various distances, I would tell the Range Safety Officer (RSO), that is what I would like to do and would ask their permission first. Showing respect and courtesy usually allows you to do what you want within reason.... Frankly, like @brucin, I decided not to renew my membership at RTSP once the COVID-19 virus pandemic shut down the gun ranges, as a purely economic choice. When the state of NJ finally allowed them to reopen, the imposed as well as the voluntary restrictions instituted just did not make it worth it for me to rejoin at that time. I do look forward to re-upping my membership sometime in the second half of 2021, once life begins to return to some semblance of normalcy. AVB-AMG

One of my sons was invited by a friend to shoot there last month....laughingly he told me he would never go back there again...fired 3 rounds in succession and the RO's were all over their port like flies...high anxiety absolutely describes this joint and the prices are rediculous......nope, maybe for beginners....not for anyone with experience...you go shoot with John Q Public and rented guns.....are you kiddin' me.......no thanks, never....omo.

I was a member for over 5 years and never remember having an RSO perched over my shoulder. They were professional courteous and helpful when asked. I would still be a member if not for a change in jobs, their operating hours change and stupid Covid restrictions. I still recommend them to people regardless of the very occasional tragedy that has happened at their facilities.

So I've been dreaming and I came up with an idea. I was trying to think of something compact that could be housed and maneuvered inside a vehicle but with effective ballistics, reasonable capacity and quick deployment if needed, but could also be transported legally in NJ. So I came up with the following: Mossberg 590M - https://www.mossberg.com/product/590m-mag-fed-pump-action-50206/ Add a folding stock which is legal on a pump shotty - https://www.atioutdoors.com/product/strikeforce-shotgun-stock/ Stored with the unloaded shotgun you can have a loaded magazine. The mags for a 590M do not fit any semi-auto firearm so there is no limit on capacity. They are not cheap, but you can legally have a couple of these 20 rounder's to hand - https://www.mossberg.com/store/590m-mag-fed-detachable-magazine-20-rnd-95140.html I'm thinking with the folded stock you can handle the gun inside the vehicle much easier than a full length gun. The reason I thought of this rather than a short shotty, like the shockwave, is the shockwave is technically a "firearm", not a shotgun so is not covered by your FPIC. The 20 round mag may be something of a hinderance inside the vehicle so shorter mags could be a better or additional option.

No. More profit in .357 revolvers.

Not true.... You cannot shoot alone and rent a firearm..... if you bring your own firearm you may shoot alone https://www.rtsponline.com/range-rules/

@carl_g, @kc17, @silverado427, @Bomber, @Sniper, @Underdogand @father-of-three. You all make very sensible and valid points on this tragic event. For what it is worth, once again, I want to express my shock and sadness regarding the news of this most unfortunate recent event. Many of us on NJGF are well aware of the multiple suicides committed by young men at indoor gun ranges in NJ that have occurred in just the past 4-5 years, (i.e. Gun For Hire, Tactical Training Ctr. and RTSP/Randolph, etc…), They have either rented a handgun or used a handgun of someone who owns one and shared it with them at the range. As a result of these awful suicides at gun ranges, a number of gun range owners, working as a consortium, have instituted policy changes that were a joint-effort with the NSSF and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. As I believe most of us understand, if someone is determined to shoot themselves it is almost impossible to stop them. Suicide will never go away and it is a shame that a disturbed individual, regardless of whether or not they are a new or a repeat customer, chooses to attempt or succeed in this sad selfish act in a public forum surrounded by many other innocent people, whether it is a gun range or other public and populated venue. They expose other innocent bystanders to witness their horrible desperate act, as well as potentially putting those people in physical harm’s way. As I have said in other related threads, I believe anyone who chooses to attempt or succeed in this sad act of suicide-by-gun, in a gun range, (a semi-public setting), is being incredibly selfish, not caring how their suicide death by shooting themselves will profoundly and adversely affect all of their friends and loved ones, let alone the other innocent people who happen to be nearby at the gun range. As a previous member of RTSP, along with my wife, we have the highest regard and respect for everyone at RTSP, from the ownership partners, management, RSO’s, sales, training and gunsmith staff. We understand that the process and procedures that RTSP and other gun ranges have put into effect and will possibly modify again, in a further attempt to reduce the chances for this type of incident of being repeated, are the “cost” of doing business. We will certainly abide by whatever additional rules and regulations they institute to attempt to avoid a repeat or similar incident in the future. While some may find these new rules inconvenient it is their business to run as they see fit, abiding by ever more intrusive insurance requirements. Everyone at RTSP has our sincere condolences and best wishes on dealing with the aftermath of this tragic event. I think we all agree that suicide is a tragic choice made by someone who, for various complicated reasons, either at the low end, wants to call attention to themselves and/or at the extreme end, does not want to live any longer. Looking at the factual statistics, the majority of gun deaths are suicides, and just over half of suicides involve guns. I do not blame firearms for suicides, which is a ludicrous assertion. Firearms are the tool of choice, selected and used by SOME people, mostly males, to commit suicide, since it is usually a very effective and efficient tool, with immediate results. The stark factual statistics show that for the past several years in the USA, there have been approximately 31,000+ deaths via guns per year, with about one-third being homicides and over two-thirds being suicides. According to national health statistics, 24,432 Americans used guns to kill themselves in 2018, up from 19,392 in 2010. For people who try to end their lives with a gun, they are successful in approx. 85% of the time and the majority of these people are white males. (This factual information is from the Center for Disease Control (CDC's) web-based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting System, (WISQARS), which is an interactive, online database that provides fatal and nonfatal injury, violent death, and cost of injury data from a variety of trusted sources, along with the National Violent Death Reporting System, both of which use data compiled that is around 2-3 years old). I share the concern of others, that now almost 9 months since the coronavirus pandemic began and the incredible disruption it has caused, specifically the growing economic dislocation and mental despair, could be the recipe for even more attempted/successful suicides. We know that gun sales have risen steadily since March 2020. The on/off/on shutdowns aimed at containing the virus have disrupted lives, destroyed small businesses and led to social isolation. There have been a number of studies that have shown an increase in personal anxiety, sadness and fear could push someone into a real crisis, especially if they are already suffering from some form of mental illness. Therefore, I am concerned that we may very well see an increase in the number of these attempted/successful suicide-by-gun, not just in NJ, but nationally… AVB-AMG

Really? I would think St. Patrick's Day, New Year's Eve. Super Bowl Sunday, would be bigger

Both are as equally deadly.

That looks exactly like the boat I lost 14 rifles on. It was a sad day. I can relate to your loss.

Oh... I see the splashes. I'm sorry for your loss(es). You shouldn't leave long guns on the rear gunwale like that.

Here we go.

Stranger danger!

ahhhh, these were the days: How about this: Or this:

meanwhile here in nj just got this.. DON'T EVENTHINK ABOUT USING CORONAVIRUS AS AN EXCUSE TO SHUT DOWN GUN PERMITTING March 18, 2019. Today, ANJRPC convinced one NJ town to voluntarily reverse its shutdown of firearms permitting due to Coronavirus, and is issuing this warning to every other permitting authority in NJ: Don't even THINK of using Coronavirus as an excuse to stop processing firearms permits and credentials. "Times of emergency are precisely the times when people need the right to protect themselves and their families the most," said ANJRPC Executive Director Scott Bach. "ANJRPC will not tolerate any attempt by any municipality to interrupt the firearms permitting process for any reason, and will spare no effort or expense to protect the right of law-abiding New Jerseyans to obtain firearms." ANJRPC attorney Dan Schmutter stated: "It is absolutely unlawful for a local authority that has been injected into the firearms acquisition process to shut down that process because it is unable or unwilling to maintain it during times of emergency -- when Constitutional rights must be protected the most. Towns must either fulfill their Constitutional obligation to maintain an acquisition process, or be eliminated from the process itself. Shutting down the process is simply not an option." If you become aware of any permitting authority in NJ that attempts to shut down the firearms permitting process due to Coronavirus, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so that ANJRPC can address it. Please stay safe during this challenging time, and know that ANJRPC will continue to be vigilant in protecting our Second Amendment rights no matter what.

We’re not allowed to cross the Delaware.

Due to the nature of some fast food workers, I’m sure it had SOMEBODIES meat in it at one time or another.
