Nature has a way of warning us that certain animals are to be avoided. The rattle on a rattlesnake. The quills on a porcupine. The bright colors on the poison arrow frog. That woman looks like she exhibits several of those warnings.

Jenson's reply has dropped and it's a doozey! He's going straight for the injunction rather than the TRO now. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.njd.506033/gov.uscourts.njd.506033.29.0.pdf

Pork roll.

Anthony's latest podcast had a good description and timeline.

That's really messed up...not only because 'IQ 169' and 'board certified astrologist' are mutually-exclusive, but to also claim liquid smoke is an acceptable alternative to a smoker? Heresy! She clearly added a digit to her claimed IQ score.

I ran the smoker one more time today before the holiday week ended for me--this time, beef ribs. I've tried smoking them before, and was always disappointed as the ribs I could find had very little meat on them. I finally found that Restaurant Depot is a good source of big plate ribs. The four-rib plates weigh almost 4 lbs. These were coated with a thin layer of tobasco sauce as a binder for the rub, followed by some kosher salt as a dry brine, then Mixon's short rib rub recipe, applied generously. I smoked them with oak (mostly) and a bit of mesquite. Once they go on, they don't require much attention, only in the last couple of hours did I mist them periodically with beef broth. Total cook time was 8 hours, with the smoker starting out at 225, and gradually increasing to about 310F. They turned out great, finally everything I wanted in a beef rib. And even after cooking, they're huge. Since I had the fire pit burning most of the day, I also tried something from the Playing with Fire cookbook I received for Christmas. I tossed a butternut squash directly on the coals. After turning it every 10 minutes for an hour, it was done, and while it was a charred blackened mess on the outside, the squash on the inside was wonderful. I scooped it out, mixed in a little butter and some freshly grated nutmeg, and it was a great, fire-roasted side dish.

Change in your status? Meaning what? New Pronouns?

I think what @RadioGunner meant was that filings have to be submitted by a due date. That means on or before that date. It is common practice to wait until as late on the the due date as possible so as not to give the opposition any more time than you have to to digest and react to your filing. There are no bonus points for filing 3 days early.

I know people who are really smart but have zero common sense.

There's the Striker Control Device for Glocks that does something similarish to the grip safety on an SA: https://langdontactical.com/glock-striker-control-device-scd/ I've never tried one but it seems like an ok idea in theory. Your motion of thumb on the back of the slide should translate exactly here. Video:

I'm not a lawyer, but IMO that response was WELL done...

Seriously though, my bag at home is different from the one in my truck. The truck bag's purpose is to get home. The home bag's purpose is to get the 4 of us in the house out to our "spot." Both have the following items: First aid kit Bandanna Flashlight(s) with backup batteries H20 filtration Dried food Compas Camp knife Multi-tool Para chord Mylar Survival Blanket Plastic full-size (55 gallon) trash bag Multiple fire sources and hand sanitizer (for starting fires in damp / wet situations) Insect repellent Sunscreen Toilet paper Small Note Pad / Pencil Pepper spray Duct tape Fishing kit Small animal snare

I'm setup for 9mm already, so I just need new dies, case holders and cartridge gauges. I think. Not counting projectiles of course. I "assume" I can use the same powder. I know I can use the same primers.

High IQ and unable to tie shoes are not mutually exclusive - often the opposite, in my experience.

Whenever I see people talk about their ‘IQ score’, I know they are idiots.

No damage is obvious to me. Kel Tec is willing to take a look at it. Though they won't cover shipping and I'm anxious they'll just send it back as is...

Double banned. LOL

NJ submitted their response on 12/30. The hearing for Injunction is scheduled for Jan 5th.

....'Nuff Said

I don't find AIWB comfortable at all. Maybe it is just my body shape, or maybe I'm doing it wrong, but nonetheless, I'm not doing it. I carry a G19 with a TLR7a or a G26 with a TLR6 at 3 o'clock IWB with an FBI cant. With this position I can easily bend forward at the waist without the gun digging into me. I can also squat or bend forwards without the butt of the gun sticking out like a flag like it would at 4 o'clock. It is also comfortable to sit, whether in a car or any other seat. The only drawback is access while seated and belted in a car. I am a great advocate of carrying with a loaded chamber. Your draw stroke is much simpler without the extra steps of charging the gun before you present it. Additionally, you may not have the time to rack in a round. If you're sure you want to carry this way, practice, practice and practice some more getting the gun out of the holster and charged so you can do it instinctively if you ever need to. Include practicing doing it without your support hand. - NB. use dummy ammo or snap caps, not live ammo while practicing this. When I say practice, I mean hundreds, if not thousands of reps. Don't just to it a couple of times and call it good. Through practice and competition I have drawn my gun countless times, and I still practice it regularly. Gun handling is a perishable skill. I also pay attention to changes in equipment. Drawing from an IWB holster is not the same as my OWB holsters that I usually use at matches. Last month I ran my carry rig for the match as I felt I had enough dryfire practice with it. I finished 3rd, behind 2 guys running full sized pistols in OWB holsters, one of which was also running a dot.

You have to do what's best/most comfortable for you, so if you've landed at unloaded appendix then go with it. Given the choice between unloaded appendix and loaded 4 oclock I'd go with loaded 4 oclock...but that's me.

That's definitely not right. Mine locks up solid as well. Is there any damage to the nub that locks into the lock? I circled it on mine. Kel Tec should take care of that for you.

That looks like the latch mechanism may not be tight - is there any wiggle on the trigger guard when you do that?

If that’s real, that bitch is crazy. And if she really IS a doctor, she shouldn’t be treating patients.

Just checked mine - Gen 2 9mm w/ Beretta mag insert - rock solid. Have you tried tightening the forend screws? If you can rotate the front end - where is it rotating? At the folding joint? Mine's completely tight with no play whatsoever - can that screw be tightened? Check the receiver frame - make sure it's not cracked.

How could we know? Murphy banned it in NJ in his 1st year as gov with an executive order calling it "murder insurance"

So sick of these ppl who really think Ukraine war is something new. Ask her about Zs wife spending $40k in france shopping, as he is begging us for more $$

I have a Gen 2 in 9mm and there is no wiggle.

What do you mean by 'wiggle'? I have several thousand rounds through mine but I've never noticed any movement that impacts performance.

Late update. Today was second range trip for the revolver and first for the Shield. I like them both, wife likes them both, she prefers the Shield. Now I need to stock up on .380 ACP and .38 Special and/or consider reloading them.

I haven’t had any LEO interaction while being armed, but the local officers I know have told me that they do tend to look favorably on those who have a LTC.

The pen is mightier than the sword.

The amount of infighting only benefits the anti-gunners. Everyone is a legal scholar behind the keyboard but have probably never made an argument in court. Neither have I. What I do know if that shaking your fist and saying I have a right means absolutely nothing if you don't play the game. The game being fighting for those rights either at the ballot box or the courts, and having them affirmed. Now predictably, someone will read that and say I don't need anyone to affirm what right I know I have. Unfortunately that is NOT reality. Case in point, try carrying a gun openly while screaming its my right and see how far you get. There is a system in play and we must work within that system to get what we want.

You're absolutely right. I have no idea why I got a permit either. I'm just going to burn it and call it a day. ANJRPC, FPC, SAF, NJ2AS, et al, can you guys just give it a rest, please?

"Fourth, the State asserts a broad power to ban carrying firearms on anything labeled government property. This proves too much—governments own sidewalks and streets too, but they cannot simply ban firearms there."
