focus more on PT, and cardio. Ever since I moved office to Princeton, have not had a gym where I can really do my mile swims. As a result.... some stuff started forming around my midsection, and went up to sized 34 pants. The truth moment..... yesterday, borrowed Jon's belt to shoot a stage at Shongum, could not get it around my waist. May go back on P90X, but really have to go to PT to get my knee issues worked out. so plans for this year... change gyms to a place with a 25' pool, more yoga, do p90x again. all of this should translate into better gun game performance.

That will actually depend on the distributors that the FFL's deal with. Not all are priced the same.

Can't we enjoy the nice weather outside without drama? =) its not even monday. Going to catch up and speak with both parties involved. Hinchman/Vinny, Megaman, seriously? Delete posts that criticize? The only people who think like that are the ones with tinfoil hats on, or whose posts were deleted for their abusive, abrasive language, or their personalities. If you think that we over-moderate or delete posts we disagree with, why on earth did we allow you to re-register on here for the second time. The only two three people, out of 2800+ that have ever made such a comment were you, your buddy who quit the board, then came back, then quit the board again. (who knows), and another fine person from way back in the past, who made large criticisms of brick and mortar stores (not a problem), but who not make one post without using foul language or making posts without abusive language, or name calling. So the common thread between the three.... no one really wants to look in the mirror. This is not an anonymous forum to flex Internet muscles. It is a resource and extension of real life relationships. I have absolutely ZERO tolerance for anyone who cannot make a point without resorting to name calling, profanity or abusive language. I respect everyone's opinion, I tolerate the tinfoil hats, and I stay away from the people that I would not want to be associated with. Today alone I've been told by 3 different people of who great a resource the community is, and by two more how it is "under-moderated" and we give people too much room, and too many chances. This means we are doing something right. Lastly, your notion of protecting the people that pay the forum/me (ie the vendors). Yes... the majority of the vendors who have been here since the beginning, their dues to the forum pay for 3 large dunkin donuts lattes (cant afford starbucks). As long as I am around, the forum is all about a community of friends for me, and having a resource for shooters, both new and experienced alike in NJ. What is priceless, at least for me, is the relationships that are founded. If a vendor leaves, by me asking, or their own accord, it does not make a material impact, as long as the pure fees are involved. The biggest "expense" if you want to call it that, is the time that the mods and others put in, hours a day, dealing with the bs of running a community and forum software, blocking spammers, answering basic questions, dealing with the feedback and marketplace listings (thank you Jack, total abuse). End of the day guys, grow the f' up. Realize the fact that people will have a different opinion from you sometimes, but deal with the fact that in this great country, people have the right to their opinion. You have to respect the right to their own opinion. You do not have to agree with it, nor does it matter if you agree with it or not. If you make a post, or make a comment about anything, and as long as it is not abusive, contains foul language, or has personal attacks, it will stand. If you can't help but respond without resorting the the abuse, do yourself a favor and leave, or put the person on your "ignore" list. It is a great feature. If anyone has comments, questions, concerns, rude remarks, send me a pm. Better yet, send me suggestions how to fix whatever you think is wrong. We are pretty responsive to it. Now... going to lock this until I talk with both parties.

great write up.

My 4 stages that I got taped.

Some videos of folks. Jon Stage 4 Frank Stage 4 Troy Stage 4

amazing weather, but one word... rusty. =) So, lets start with some fun stuff.

So video from the Drift Hd 170. More uploading. You can watch in full 1080.

Plus one. either attempted suicide.... or this guy is just darwin.

From a financial advisor/investment banking standpoint.... Freedom group was all about the money. They snapped up all the companies under one roof and were then planning on going public, in order to make a hefty profit on the open market. Unfortunately, things did not that well, with banking crisis and all, so Cerberus is holding off until such a time when they see an IPO doing well. Such a damn shame too, because there really are no ways to invest in firearms business outside of Smith Wesson, Ruger, and Olin corp (winchester). Rest are private companies.

Used guns is what keeps gun shops in business. Anyone who thinks the cost of a $600 glock is $400 is mistaken. Most dealers here only make $20 to $30 on a new gun. $190 offer for a glock is not that out of line for a gun shop. Most any will give you 50% of book value. Dealers serve a purpose here... 1. To serve the public who is either too lazy or too unaware of other options (gunbroker, forum, etc.) 2. Some people would rather just unload the gun right there and then and be done with it. No other way to sell a gun as quickly then selling it to a gun shop.

They are real glasses. lol. And I would be bothered if they broke. Fortunately, Wally world gives you a 1 or 2 year guarantee against any scratches or breaks.

Went to Walmart, got a set of Rx transition lenses put into rayban frame. Works really well for shooting. Does not get as dark as regular sunglasses in the daytime, and do become a little darker on overcast days. All in all, great alternative, especially for shooting. One of the two times I wear glasses (wear a -1 rx), mostly otherwise I wear glasses at night driving home or whatnot. Wearing Rx during the day would hurt my eyes, even in situation where it would help, such as shooting. Rx sunglasses, or Rx transition lenses are the silver bullet.

Show up by 9am, tell them you are new. No need to register for any local matches except Old Bridge.

There are always sectional and regional matches. Area 8 is a great match. And once again, you are only competing against people in the same class as you.

National Guard or Army/Navy/Marines, whatever... people would not be making that distinction... it is military on the streets. a CCW would deter potential crime, say in Newark, or Elizabeth, but I do not think it would work in Camden. I would be glad to visit friends in etown if I could CCW, or would even visit some awesome restaurants in Newark.... but going to Camden? Not unless I can carry a Saiga 12 with a 20 round drum, or an AR with a 60 round Surfire mag. CCW would not help in Somalia. Maybe a few years ago, it could of... right now? I really don't know. The stories of people murdered in broad daylight, next to the aquarium, and person being put on hold at the police department... does not scream safe. This might be the case for creating jobs... by knocking down abandoned homes, making them parks, and hiring a ton of cops. In conjunction with lenient gun laws and expedited issue of FID. =) Give every business owner or sales person in camden a CCW. National Guard... or any boots on the ground for that matter, will only either temporarily stop the issues... but it is not going to solve the problem.

I personally think the problem is, alot of "gun owners", and I use that term loosely, paint all Law Enforcement as "arrogant, know it all pricks", which in my experience could not be further from the truth. I think that preconception of law enforcement is like saying every gun owner is a neo-nazi hill billy with a few missing teeth, driving an old pickup. Obviously there are a few LEO who do fit that description, much like gun owners, however the vast majority I have met are decent folks. Trust me, life is alot easier not thinking that every cop is out to get you and make your life a living hell.

no, no.... for real.

and try using commas and periods. =) Welcome to the forum.

welcome to the forum.

The other thing... if anyone is in the central jersey area and wants to go out to CJ on a one on one basis, or if you are a cj member, a few more folks, we can get together.

But... under what orders can the military take over a town? Even though Camden needs to be cleaned up... this seriously scares me of military patrolling our streets.

humn, triumph in princeton.... great suggestion.

They have grilled and teriyki stuff too jon. damn good too.

If we want princeton, I can hook us up at Tokyo Sushi on 206, great food, and almost ways able to accommodate us. BYOB.
