NJSP won't rule out door-to-door for banned mags
Actually, it's not. What it is is activism. Faced with a bullshit law with no way to enforce it uniformly. They asked how it will be enforced and got no comment. So rather than let uncertainty work solely for the assholes in Trenton, they said something that that statement encompasses. NJSP had definitely not stated they wouldn't be going door to door. That is a much more emotionally powerful statement AND it happens to be true. Bonus, the only way out of it being out there and being demonstrably true is for NJSP to make some statement about their plans for enforcement. So admit you plan to enforce it arbitrarily, or wear the jack booted thug label while wearing your NJSP standard issue knock-off Nazi uniform. And gee look what happened. Breitbart is definitely sensationalist at times, but in this case the author of the article did a good job on spin IMO.

epoxy mag pistol floor plates with magblocks
Here's the deal. At some point by replacing parts or altering the mag as sold, you are manufacturing a new magazine. Where that line is in NJ is is not defined, and has no precedent set. As a number of businesses demonstrated when the AWB sunset, if you have a tig welder, some skill with it, and two 10 round magazines, you can convert at lest one of them into a greater than 10 round magazine. Was the magazine not low capacity? Not permanently altered? Or was a new full or extended capacity magazine manufactured out of compliant parts? Under the AWB that was more clear as a less fuzzy line was drawn. Plenty of blocked mas in NJ have shipped with nothing but a rivet.

House Democrats Plan To Criminalize Private Gun Sales
I expect them to pass all sorts of inane shit in the house with the knowledge they won't have to face the consequences of it passing in the senate. They don't want it to pass, they just want to craft bullet points for negative campaigning.

Formal Instruction?
I'm translating that as "competition is easier than..." except the dude from the pricey classes couldn't do very well in easy mode then. Unless he's the guy I'm going to for the legal aspect or the medical aspect, I would kind of expect a base level of competence on the pew pew part.

I'm Just Gonna Leave This Here
Chicken roll, at least the stuff I remember was just bits of chicken, separated chicken mush, and some meat glue in tube form. Same thing basically still exists It sits next to the turkey at the deli counter and is just called chicken. It's fake slab of meat shaped instead of cylindrical. Maybe less separted chicken goo in it.

Magazine Ban Upheld
I know a fair number of hunters. About half of them are gun guys who hunt. Those who aren't gun guys mostly don't hunt with guns, just bows. Probably about half of the bowhunters could give a crap about anti legislation and most of the hunting stuff outside of deer. For them hunting = deer and they could give a crap about anything else. Not animosity for the most part, more laziness. Of the non gun guys who hunt with shotguns.. well.. most of them are of the "if it weren't for you gun nuts, I could live in peace and hunt". They are not getting it, but I try not to be a dick to them about it. About 3/4ths of the non gun guy hunter population are probably tractable to tit for tat support for what they do care about.

Baby Addicted to Mobile Phone
The video really isn't enough to judge jack shit. You take a toy away from a baby, it' gets pissed. Infants don't have broad emotional range, it's pretty much hunger, rage, and asleep for the first while. It's a poor demonstration of "addicted". Especially without knowing the software on the phone. An infant isn't going to be addicted to keep up with the joneses on facebook. From a physical development standpoint, tablets/phones are a mixed bag. The touch and gesture UIs make use of motions that fit right in with gross motor skill development, but focusing on the 2d display is not a great plan for proper development of visual processing in the brain. It needs depth and movement in all 3 axis to develop properly. Based on what I have learned in the past about brain development and cognition, I'm not that concerned about screen time other than being lazy and letting it replace a variety of stimulus. I also try to steer the kid towards less awful and more useful stuff. Contrary to a lot of the un-researched concern industry, my kid and his peers for the most part seem to saturate and need breaks form it. Some do not. I suspect the differentiation in those two groups would align with other general rates of addictive behavior. I suspect the biggest problem is when the kids develop enough language skills they can start using the internet to avoid learning things and abdicate that process to search engines and such. Adults willingly abandon that skill, but at least they had some of it at some point. Kids that never did? It's also tricky to not do essentially the same thing by proxy and just repeat everything the computer tells you.

Free floating handguard
Some tubes use proprietary nuts, some use "common" non mil-spec nuts, and some just attach to a standard mil-spec barrel nut. The real issue in options is a matter of what you have in terms of a front sight/gas block on the gun. Even using one of the mil-spec compatible solutions, you still need to get the tube over the gas block/front sight to install it. If it need s something other than the mil-spec nut, with very, very few exception, it is included with the handguard.

Interesting policy for online firearms retailers
Lots of places won't accept shipping to non billing addresses without having called the CC company and set up the other address as an alternate shipping address.

SNOW PICS
Most of the problem vehicles were Nissan altimas and Honda accords. I really didn’t encounter too many rwd vehicles other than the occasional lunatic in an f-150.

SNOW PICS
This storm as baffling in terms of prep and people's behavior. I literally got stuck waiting forever at an intersection because a number of cars could not get up the "hill". And by hill I mean the road is maybe a 1% grade.

Dead Page
This is incorrect. FOPA protects you transiting a state. You are bound by the laws of the origin and destination state while in them. For PA and NJ FOPA happens to go beyond the letter of the law so isn't a bad guideline, but this is how things like people haivng to stay overnight for missing a connecting flight in NJ results in stupid shit. But from your residence in PA, as long as the firearm is legal in NJ, you should be able to transport to a permitted place such as another residence, a business you own, and a range.

Hornady reloading parts rusting
Then be anal. disassemble at the end of each use, coat it in cosmoline, degrease it thoroughly before each use. If you are super anal, it is about the journey to have it your way, not practicality. Long term there's nothing that will work well without costing you time or causing you problems.

Hornady reloading parts rusting
I've got an old rotor with surface rust. It still worked fine after a hundred thousand rounds or so. The big problem was the plastic tube coming unglued and the casting voids in it hornady wouldn't warranty fro some reason. Got a new one a few years ago with the baffle and other accessories. The patina of surface rust isn't going to make it not work.

USPS issues
I've managed to get pretty good postal service for the last 30+ years. Only thing I've regularly had problems with was fedex (their policy of holding non overnight stuff, even if it gets to the last leg early bites them in the ass regularly, and I believe they have stopped this practice now), and RPS/fedex home, which has always been, and will always be a shitshow.

Crypto currencies
They are all shit. There's no inherent value, and they all have capitalizations so small they can easily be manipulated by a LARGE number of investment firms/banks with the will to do so. They have already clearly and demonstrably been manipulated by the businesses that turn crypto into actually usable cash. Last time this came around when bitcoin was up over $9000 a coin, I said the same thing and was shouted down that the potential upside effectively demanded investment. The downside has been pretty rough, and there's nothing changing in the near future. So unless you have a line on which way, and how the manipulators are going to manipulate, stay away is my opinion. As a long term investment, even if you know that, stay away. Even if crypto has a future, there are so many fundamental problems with the current incarnation that version 2.0 will come along and seriously disrupt the market.

THIRD CIRCUIT DENIES INJUNCTION IN MAG BAN CASE 2 DAYS AFTER PAPERS SUBMITTED
The only thing the 3rd circuit is going to do before 12-10 is rule on the appeal of the injunction. They don't have the case proper yet. For them to not rule on behalf on injunctive relief would be shocking. Even the 9th permitted injunctive relief despite doing their best to uphold the mag ban there. IMO the 3rd and 2nd are more apt to ignore law and precedent wholesale (the 9th at least likes to pretend they exist within the structure of the law, even if it is with very selective hearing and reading). Denying injunctive relief would be a deep cut to legal tradition and ethics here, so it'd be a BIG kind of FU for the 3rd to give NJ gun owners. I'm not comfortable calling it either way because IMO as a whole the 2nd and 3rd represent some of the most unsupported legal reasoning I have seen. Even so, all things considered, I'd have to ask WTF they are thinking if they deny it. Why? 1) NJ courts won't protect us. 2) Why dick with gun owners and screw your reputation up as well as damage a quality judicial tool by being dicks when you can just have patience and rule fuck you later at the actual trial? 3) With a change of SCOTUS composition, why risk risk being publicly declared morons twice rather than once? 4) Even without the SCOTUS change, why risk looking like petty scumbags when you could just have patience and be officially declared as correct for your judicial decision when the appeal hits your court? 5) Why miss an opportunity to whip it out and measure it when you can't lose. NJ courts aren't exactly respected. Yup. The courts will. As for "law" they will do what they always do. Which is largely fail to enforce anything on the books in a meaningful way. They will say they are right until they are smacked down by a higher court. At that point I suspect if they lose they will strike it down and try to pass something slightly different and equally oppressive. If SCOTUS is on our side, ehe question is how many times will the 3rd circuit choose to jump off that bridge with these shitweasels.

THIRD CIRCUIT DENIES INJUNCTION IN MAG BAN CASE 2 DAYS AFTER PAPERS SUBMITTED
I'm reading it as ANJRPC made an appeal regarding the injunction to the third circuit. They also filed with the third circuit for injunctive relief. This request for injunctive relief was denied without prejudice. They are saying that this may mean that the denial is due to the appeal as a whole being adjudicated prior to the 12-10 deadline. If you have a law that will affect a group of people, and a suit is brought against the government, it is the norm that injunctive relief is granted until that court case is sorted out if there is demonstrably a potential to harm the class of people bringing suit. Even in California, they grasp that a magazine ban fits this pattern very well. But NJ courts are basically cronies of our criminal class politicians in NJ so they don't use the normal legal standards for such things. The third circuit will probably not protect us in the least unless they see their reputation being harmed now that SCOTUS composition has been changed. However, they SHOULD see that forcing people to destroy or permanently alter their property is material harm and deserves injunctive relief until you prevail or lose in court. I'm assuming the 3rd being the 3rd, they will assume lose. They should also view the concept of injunctive relief as a legal tenant that should be protected as much as possible as it overwhelmingly does more good than harm. None of that should be expected from NJ courts.

Did the ban on private sales go into effect? What's the protocol now? What are gun shops charging? Does buyer or seller pay or is the fee split?
Wow, that's some shitty business there. Even before it was mandatory, if I had need of going through an FFL to sell something, it wasn't hard to find one who would take it in for free and just charge the transfer fee on the way out. That's exactly what happens with transferring an on line purchase except it's some dude who shows up by appointment rather than the UPS guy whenever.

Pistol Permit Cost
I hope they change it. doing so generates a class of recently impacted people. At which point a case should be brought that they are encumbering an incorporated right. I don't know that you could forbid the process, but you could argue that if it is in the public's interest, the whole public can pay for it rather than be discriminatory towards lower income individuals.

It was only applied for items fulfilled by amazon. If it shipped form a 3rd party vendor, you didn't get charged.

VBIED Last Night in Allentown - Multiple Fatalities
My thought too, but looking up meth lab explosions, there are some of mobile car based labs and they look like slightly energetic car fires.
