Let's put this to rest.... Shooters has not been sold. Our mission and employees are unchanged.

I'm beginning to really like this guy: NJ lawmaker wants a complete ban on all vaccine requirements (nj1015.com)

I am sad because you are making up restrictions and making your own experience worse for no reason other than you fear what a cop or prosecutor might make up for themselves. I see no benefit in anyone competing with overzealous officials to fabricate imagined laws. Whatever you think of, the chances of you coinciding with what someone else has created in their imagination is rather small, I would say. Your comparison to skipping getting a permit for construction does not follow. You are required by law to get construction permits and your example contractor is advocating breaking that law which is actually on the books - not some imagined law. A more accurate comparison would be you applying for a permit to cover the new work and including any and all previous work to be re-inspected which would then have to meet current code rather than the code in place when that construction actually occurred. You are not required to bring previous work up to code if it is being left undisturbed, but OMG! What if an overzealous inspector decides to ding you for it not meeting current code!

I am saddened by these ideas. The decades long assault on the 2nd Amendment in NJ is coming to completion if the population decide to act in an even more restrictive way than the onerous laws require. The politicians can sit back and relax, happy in the knowledge that the gun-owning public that they so despise, is fully oppressed. They will keep writing stupid laws anyway, but will be confident that they will just be accepted.

That must belong to the guy Carrie Underwood was singing about. Before He Cheats

As silly as it may have seemed, the y2k scare was probably the starting point for me. It showed me how ill-prepared I was for just about anything. There have been other things over the years, including the Spanish and Greek economies coming close to shutting down their banking systems and how "too big to fail" still has a chance at failing.

I've never understood people who couldn't survive or go more than a few days without going to the store for necessities. Sandy was a bit of a wake up call for me. I think it was a jolt for A LOT of people. But many of them just hit the snooze button and went back to their life as it had been withouth making any real changes. My wife started thinking more along the lines of being prepared after Covid. I started building up our stock around Dec 2019 and into January 2020. She was aking me what I was doing. I explained to her what was going on in China and that it may be well head our way. She half didn't believe me. Then around the second or third week into March she called me while shopping and said, "I just got the last package of toilet paper on the shelf at Target. The shelf is bare!. People are freaking out." I said I know. THAT"S why I've been buidling up our supplies. She got it then. Since then she buys two or three of something when we need it instead of just one.

For those of you who live in or very familiar with the Charleston area and would be kind enough to speak with me, please PM and I’ll send my phone number. The more research I’m doing the more enamored I’m becoming with the area. It’s in a great spot and easier for me to travel the country from there. I plan on taking a trip, gonna drive so I can take my time, over the next few weeks. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to have a chat with me. I promise I’m a good neighbor, decent stack of toys and I’m good at sharing.

I last posted on this thread in 2019. My family and I will no longer have to worry about how screwed up NJ gun laws are. We finally had enough of the shenanigans in NJ and packed our bags and left. We moved to the free state of South Dakota. Constitutional Carry is the law of the land in SD. Hopefully it stays this way here. I can't say I won't miss NJ, I spent most of my life in NJ, lots of great and wonderful memories. NJ is an awesome state with so much to offer. But it's also a state that has been decimated by liberals. Sorry to go off topic, I just wanted to share this
