They weren't around yet. We had to watch out for dinosaurs. The discovery of fire gave us charcoal so we had something to write with.

There were no horses then. We used charcoal on tree bark.

I'll give you an excellent example of how tuition rates have increased. Base tuition for my first semester as an undergraduate at Montclair State was $175. That was also about the time NJ started the lottery which was initially was supposed to be used for education. Two years later it was $350. It doubled in two years with more state involvement. A semester at Montclair is now about $12,000. That's about a 6800% increase over what I paid my first semester. My first teaching job after graduating paid $10,000 a year. Not the highest in the state at the time. Based on the increase in tuition teachers should be starting at $680,000 a year.

Brilliant people, many with less than Einstein ability, usually exhibit their talent well before they get to high school. Einstein taught himself algebra, geometry, and calculus by the time he was 14. He was proving mathematical theories at age 12. He published his first scientific paper at 15. People like this have no problem getting full ride scholarships to prestigious universities. High school educations have been free in the US for years. Brilliant people are identified well before they graduate high school. IMO colleges waste too many resources attracting people who are good at athletics. They let them stumble through college just to prep them for a multimillion dollar contract for the NFL or NBA. Are you proposing we pay for the higher education of anyone capable of maintaining a C average? If so why don't you start the Greenday Scholarship Program for Average Student? A scholarship program for people who exhibit no special talent. They could major in subjects such as Eskimo Studies and other "worthy" fields.

You are correct. That's called signature authority. I know departments where permit extensions are granted by the civilian receptionist.

@weekend_junkie I'm not "narrowly" reading the law. I'm reading the law as it's written. "By law" doesn't mean in laws. See @SJG's post above. If it meant in laws that would include brother in law, sister in law, etc. But it doesn't include them.

There is more to it than you've presented here. If you're talking about the EO instating the travel ban here is the time line of that: https://www.aclu-wa.org/pages/timeline-muslim-ban When you read it you'll see that eventually there were several federal appellate courts that upheld the lower court's decision to block the travel ban. Instead of waiting for a final decision on the original travel ban the Trump signed two more EOs instating a travel ban. No doubt they tried to address the issues used by the courts to block the bans. It all came to a head when the cases went to SCOTUS. A decision made in appellate court becomes case law and can be used in arguments in similar cases. A decision made in a district court becomes "law of the case" and only applies to the specific case being heard. This is where we're at with this decision.

It says "parent" not "in law". The transfer of everything needs to done at a FFL unless the father in law establishes a residence in NJ prior to moving to NY.

I've never been hit in the face. Several times in arms, legs, and stomach by pieces of jacket material coming back off steel target frames. Break skin but nothing serious. This has happened as far back as the 25 yard line. Got in the leg once by an entire bullet at a pin match. I was about 35 yards away. No damage. Bullet didn't even penetrate my pants. Wear eye protection even if you're observing.

Just noticed the adjustable rear sight. That would make it a Trooper Mk III. The Lawman was fixed sight.

That's a bargain for that gun. I'm not a big Colt fan but would have bought that.

I carried a 6906 for about 10 years. Same gun except a 12 Rd magazine. No issues with it. I'd take that gun for 350.

Hmm...from can I buy a gun with a felony conviction to expungement in two weeks? That's some record time.

You mention 2 handguns. What happened to the rest of your father's firearms? How did that family member get the serial numbers of the guns they reported stolen?

I'd rather teach a woman how to shoot any day. To get back on track, women terrorists are usually much more brutal than their male counterparts. They feel they have to "prove" themselves.

Looks like Andrey Kirisenko blew his cover by loaning his shirt. You can run his name and apparently he's a big time competitor in shooting sports. I don't know if he was with the FSB but I can believe they train doing something like that. Back in the 90s I helped train some Eastern Europeans after the collapse of the Berlin Wall and Soviet Union. Great men and women who would do anything for you. However, they had little concept of safety. They did things that would horrify Western Europeans and Americans. I have it from competent sources the SAS do a hostage rescue drill where they have one of their mates sit in a room and have lifelike targets sitting on either side of him. They have to make the entry and take out the targets without hitting their friend. I've heard from reliable sources that one day Margret Thacher was observing SAS training including this drill. She volunteered to play the hostage in spite of what her security detail did. About 100 years ago in basic training the Army had a night infiltration course. You low crawled a couple of hundred yards while they had a M60 firing 8-10 ft over you. They set off 1/4 pound charges in pits which shielded you from the blast but you still had sand raining down on you. Don't know if they still do this. Kind of mild in comparison.

Fake news.

I've only been shooting over 50 years. Glocks for over 30 years. That includes overseeing a couple of hundred Glocks on the job. I've shot a lot of 9mms over that time and there are many I like, shoot, and carry. If I had to pick a 9mm handgun to be without, more so in a SHTF situation as the OP states, it would be a Glock 19. @Zeke you just have to try harder.

Glock 19, best all around 9mm made. Most of the reasons have been mentioned. 45s are nice but you drive up ammo costs (at current prices) 60-100%. You need to consider in the long run you spend a lot more on ammo than you do for the gun. You'll save about $100 buying 1000 rds of 9mm vs 1000 rds of 45 ACP. There's no economy is reloading 9mm as cheap as it as now.

There is a state statute for counterfeiting. It's included in the forgery statute. However, a bit more research on my part shows it's a 4th degree crime and that carries a maximum sentence of 18 months. Federal up to 20 years. It had to be a Federal conviction.

There's "the rest of the story" behind this. Possibilities? It was more than a "counterfeit bill". Maybe a bunch of them ? It could be possession of counterfeit currency was one of several charges and you pled to the counterfeit charge. Was this a federal or state conviction?

Question 11e on the 4473 specifically states that use of marijuana is a disqualifier under Federal law for firearms ownership. Being just about all firearms transfers have to go through a FFL in NJ. If you want to use marijuana no guns for you as it stands. This has been brought up before.

But that's a natural body function.

If your life is hell it's because of choices you made. Based on your statement everyone should be shooting heroin, become an alcoholic, or using something to find "a moment of joy".

The police in Colorado still are out there after street dealers. They can undercut prices from the "medicine" shops.
