One person dead at a Lakewood Range
I don't have a specific problem, just perhaps your attitude. It seems like any trouble posts or topics that get out of hand, have your comments in them, many of which merely try to get a rise out of people. In any case...Not including the latest incidents, I am privy to some info that was not reported in the news about the incidents in SS and BA, considering it was so close to each other. Suicide is not rational. You want people to be rational and use their own gun in their own house. Fact is, no one knows, and no one will ever know what was going on through the guy's head, if it was pre-meditated or..... he was just driving past the range and decided to kill himself. Look at the past few years, the suicides we knew off... 1. The kid @ BA.... he drove 3 hours from PA to Brick Armory, rented a gun, sent the range officer off and then killed himself, making sure the bullet would go towards backstop. Rational? Why did he drive 3 hours from PA to NJ when he could of gone to a number of ranges that were ALOT closer. 2. The cop @ bullet hole. He was a cop, could of done it at home, right? 3. The state trooper that killed himself in the car. Originally tried to sell it as accident. Once again, rational do it at home right? With suicides, there is NOTHING rational about it.

Road rage from an NRA sticker?

One person dead at a Lakewood Range
Why? You didn't hear? The suicide at the bullet hole was a COP! why would they commit suicide at home when they can do it at the range? can you imagine how horrid memories it would be for anyone who is still living in that house?

Road rage from an NRA sticker?
I have a USPSA with "Practical Shooting" prominently displayed... never any issues. I think it is the North Jersey asshats actually. I was driving up in your neck of the woods yesterday and my god, what is wrong with you people. Staying south of 287 from now on.

RTSP BIG EXPANSION!!!!!!!
So while driving around and around today, I did visit RTSP for the first time (when they were actually opened, last time was after a storm when they had no power.). Great to see more and more feature to enjoy at a range besides just a port and a place to shoot. Hung out with Brad and the employees. Will be nice to see the expansion and all going on. Tell you what, both RTSP and GFH were busy busy. =) They each have a different spin on giving folks a place to come and shoot.

CNBC showing "America's Gun: The Rise of the AR-15" Thursday 4/25
Unlike a few folks in this thread, I really think this video was quite objective, and far better than their expose on the Remington 700. The only things I was not fond of was Yaeger going a bit over the top, and the guy who is now shining the light on 3d Printing. Otherwise, they did a great job explaining evil features and how AR is merely "scary looking." This video put gun owners in a good light I feel with folks I talked to.

NJ2AS Official Stand of New Introduced Bills
Oh calm down Matty. =) I did not know NJ2AS took an official stance to support any bill. Speak with frank, he is there to help and will give anyone the time of day. I believe the board collectively can take the stance.

Old Bridge USPSA 4-28-13
How was the match? Who made it? Any videos? Was perfect shooting weather, but instead walked 5 miles for premature babies..... we were at a park in Clinton, so was hearing gunshots from the WMA next door.... sniff sniff, was a perfect day to go shooting.

Cabelas - Hamburg, PA Shelves getting restocked
should of bought some for your brothers behind the iron curtain. =P Good to hear. what was the pricing on mini mags?
-
I can't make up my mind!!!!!!!
One more.... Taurus 1911. or Desert Eagle 1911. Taurus guns made in Brazil, just like entry level Springfield 1911's. They come with quite good features. Full, lifetime warranty. Desert Eagle 1911.... fantastic match grade gun. Was designed and is built by BUL in Israel (which makes competition guns), for Charles Daily.... then Magnum Research snuck in, and paid BUL more for the gun design, and slapped on the Desert Eagle name. Poor business practice, but amazing gun for the money. (750 or so)

Is range attendance down??
This is like clockwork actually. =) Something I have noticed over the past 4 years of actively shooting and running the forum. Springtime things slowdown a bit in terms of visitors, but also posting, as people go and do other hobbies, start taking vacations etc. Slows down and then picks up quite a bit starting in early Fall. For the ranges... if it is raining, you will have plenty of people go to the indoor ranges.... otherwise, folks are doing more outdoors stuff... be it trap/skeet, fishing, or just shooting outdoors. An ungodly amount of shooters also have motorcycles so quite a few are riding now as well. Edit: I will add though.... outdoor shooting matches, will have a lot higher attendance. I would not be surprised to see Old Bridge USPSA matches hit OVER 100 this summer. We knocked on that door twice or three times last year. Shooting out doors..... a lot better for the hearing and your health. (better ventilation).

I can't make up my mind!!!!!!!
Sig 1911, are nice guns. See if you can find a Smith Wesson 1911, it should be under your budget. Do not be afraid to buy a gently used 1911. Other alternative.... STI Trojan or STI Spartan. Any ffl should be able to get you one. They are competition grade 1911's. The Spartan is made in Phillipines by Armscor/RIA and then looked over and finished by STI in Texas.

Important Advice Needed

Ever wonder what happens when 100 primers go boom in your press?
Glad you are ok Alec. This is a dillon design issue I tlooks like. The hornady only shuffles in 1 primer at a time. The only issue I saw on hornady was a chain blow up from static. .... and the blast shield helps. Hopefully dillon takes care of you. Was it a 550 or 650?

Old Bridge USPSA 4-28-13
Maximum round count on a legal stage is 32 rounds..... however local matches have a lvl 1 exemption. They can do 60 if they want. However... most local matches will now be around 26 rounds max due to ammo. Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

Should Facebook allow businesses to giveaway guns?

returning a used gun purchase
I get the two versions confused.... Smith Wesson might of make the crappier version, but they stand behind their guns. =) Inter Arms may be the better made gun. Pm me the name of shop anyway. =)

returning a used gun purchase
Some links... http://www.waltherforums.com/forum/pp-tp-series/21501-walther-ppk-s-s-w-feed-issues.html Just google Walther PPK feeding issues, and plenty of videos and posts will come up. Send me a PM with shop name. If gun was consignment.... unfortunately they would probably not shoot it. If it was owned by the shop, you may have some recourse..... or get the gun fixed. =)

returning a used gun purchase
If you want to send me a pm with name of shop, may help. In any case.... i think the issue with the gun. You say it is a Walther PPK..... is it imported by... Interarms or Smith Wesson? Inter Arms imports had issues, particularly with different types of ammo in the gun., particularly the gap in the feedramp iirc. Check the walther forums. If the gun was imported by Smith Wesson, do you have the warranty card? if so, reach out to them and see if they will help.

Some Area 6 Championship fun... (uspsa)
Last week I was down in Florida as all the moons aligned... I had to visit a few clients down there, had to meet a few folks for a business opportunity, wanted to look at some places in case NJ gets really horrible laws..... and the USPSA Area 6 championship just happened to be the same weekend 25 mins away up i-95 in St. Augustine. Worked the match on Friday, and shot it over Saturday/Sunday. Holly hell was there rain and mud everywhere. Clean your mags every time they hit the ground. Also... why you bring extra ammo.... reshoots. I had to reshoot stage 9, a 32 round stage because during scoring, the score keeping RO lost track and could not find the missing target that he missed scoring. This happened to me and the shooter after. Mandatory reshoots. All in all, I feel I shot quite well.... and definitely answered.... Single Stack minor.... the extra 2 rounds are not worth being down 20%, as most stages were quite easy to shoot with 8 round mags too.

Old Bridge USPSA 4-28-13
I am out for this one. Will be doing a fund raiser walk with Anastasia's company up in Clinton. Her employer is contributing $200 for every employee that shows up, so since she really wants to go but not yet up for driving that far by herself, will be driving her. If anyone needs to borrow stuff, shoot me a pm, if you are in the princeton/east windsor area.
