MY GREAT WEEKEND! A balding, white haired man from Sherman Oaks in California , walked into a jewelry store in a local mall this past Friday evening with a beautiful much younger gal at his side. He told the jeweler he was looking for a special ring for his girlfriend. The jeweler looked through his stock and brought out a $5,000 ring. The man said, 'No, I'd like to see something more special.' At that statement, the jeweler went to his special stock and brought another ring over. 'Here's a stunning ring at only $40,000' the jeweler said. The lady's eyes sparkled and her whole body trembled with excitement. The old man seeing this said, 'We'll take it.' The jeweler asked how payment would be made and the man stated, 'by check. I know you need to make sure my check is good, so I'll write it now and you can call the bank Monday to verify the funds and I'll pick up the ring Monday afternoon.' On Monday morning, the jeweler angrily phoned the old man and said 'There was only $25 in your account.' 'I know, said the old man, 'But let me tell you about MY GREAT WEEKEND!'

Talked to someone today. Said he went to a gun store in PA yesterday because they had the shotgun he was looking for. I know the difference between a long gun vs. handgun purchase out of state, but he was in and out in 15 minutes, including the time he spent chatting with the guys. When's the last time that happened in NJ?

In my opinion - step one is to get to a quality training course with a reputable instructor that can show you the initial methods to deploy the shotgun properly. I highly recommend Joe Reidy at Sights & Trigger in Bethlehem, PA. His shotgun class is an excellent value, close by, and a requires a reasonable round count. You’ll use target loads to learn, your chosen “duty” ammo to verify, and slugs at distance out to 100 yards to build confidence. That being said - the hardest part of running a shotgun is keeping it fed. Once you are trained on the proper manipulations, you’ll probably get the best return on practice time by getting some quality dummy rounds and practicing loading and manipulating the gun and shells coupled with dry fire. The mechanics of actually shooting are no different than any other long gun. Line up sights and move the trigger straight to the rear without disturbing the sight. With live fire at the range, use cardboard or the plastic sheets @Scorpio64 was talking about. Paper sucks by itself - however it is useful to face the cardboard/plastic backer for a clean target when patterning. It is paramount that you pattern your gun with the ammo you plan on using and at ranges that are appropriate for your needs. You need to know what your gun does with your ammo at the ranges you will likely deploy it. Unpopular Opinion - Clays are an excellent way to test yourself, and it’s tons of fun, but it doesn’t translate very well to “tactical” or HD application.

Simmons has 'em. What semi auto do you have though? Some are picky with lighter target loads. These are 1200FPS and should cycle better. https://www.simmonssportinggoods.com/remington-ammunition-20030-lead-game-loads-12-gauge-2-75-1-oz-7-5-shot-25-bx-10-cs/ These are lower FPS (1145 FPS) and may not cycle. https://www.simmonssportinggoods.com/federal-tgl1275-top-gun-12-gauge-2-75-1-1-8-oz-7-5-shot-25-bx-10-cs/

What Scorpio said. Clay shooting. Familiarize yourself with your shotgun. How it works, what may go wrong with it, how to correct if something goes wrong, building up "muscle memory" so you can use it intuitively, etc.

An “Other Firearm” is based on a Federal definition describing a configuration of certain parts that meet a very specific set of criteria - for a “Short Barrel Firearm/SBF” - most notably, and as covered above ad nauseam: • A receiver that was never transferred as an “other” and not a rifle, pistol, machine gun, AOW, or SBR, and has never had a stock installed - Note: you can not convert an existing rifle to an SBF and the requirement is to not have a stock, NOT to install a brace. • A minimum length of 26” at its shortest possible length - that means bare receiver extension with brace removed, and, if so equipped, with any folding mechanism folded. • The presence of a forward vertical grip indicating the firearm was designed to be fired using two hands. Manufacturer/Brand does not matter as long as the firearm conforms to the above. An “Other Firearm” or “SBF” is NOT an SBR or AOW and does not require: • Federal registration and approval • Engraving of the lower • Permission to bring to another state • Tax Stamps, fees, or other paperwork

Russia has about 4500 nukes. The Chinese have a few as well. They aren't all aimed at us but I'm guessing most of them are. If the worse ever happens potassium iodide tables may help you if you like 100 miles from the closest military base or missile silo in Utah. All the major cities and surrounding areas will be wiped out instantly. Anything near a military base or missile silo will be wiped out. The people who get vaporized immdediately (most of us living in NJ and tri-State area) will be the lucky ones. On that cheery note, it's highly unlikely the worse case scenario ever occurs. Because it's a lose/lose for everyone involved. And all of humanity really. Cyber attacks are probably our biggest real threat right now. Won't be able to work remote if internet is down. Masss transit could go down at same time. So it you have to commute into city to work about the only option will be bus or to drive in. But if you work on a computer, will you be even able to work if you were able to get into the city? If you haven't already, it's probably a good time to stock up on water and non-perishable foods.

The socialist democrats don't need to do anything, they gotta guy. MSM, in pocket Hollywood, in pocket TV Land, in pocket Google, In pocket Facebook, in pocket, Twitter, in pocket Education system, in pocket I could go on, but I wont. They control the message from almost cradle to grave. White ....excuse me.... straight white men have been all but obliterated from TV advertising. Somehow, magically, the USA is comprised mostly of multi racial and gay couples. It's like white NORMAL nuclear families don't exist but to be mocked in TV ads. Oh, and all the fuck'n sudden, Jake from State Farm is a teleporting black dude who just shows up in people's houses.

Interesting to see what is happening in Russia to Russian people. No access to credit cards, banks can't move money, property/assets are getting seized/frozen. All fairly quickly and without due process. US is looking to control digital currencies. More reason to up your emergency cash you keep on hand. Also Russia passed laws allowing them to imprison or sanction reporters who report things the government does not approve or like, as well as blocking outside news. Imagine America doing something similar and using what you say or post as a pretense for freezing your assets. They already have the FBI labelling parents speaking up as Domestic Terrorists. Normally I'd say this could never happen, but after last 2 years, anything is possible.

Good business move. According to Fox News video attached, the company has been flooded by calls and emails as to how people can help. So now "a flood" of people know who they are.

I paid $3.92/gallon yesterday in west Texas.

New record for me ...
