  1. Unless he's running on the DNC ticket, he needs the GOP and the GOP base. Pissing off the RKBA crowd and letting both sides hammer him for both vetoing and signing the same legislation in campaign material strikes me as supremely stupid. If he's dealing, it's to keep his ass out of jail, because absent that, playing ball won't work out. Sweeny isn't calling the shots for anyone else's campaigns. Absent that, common sense says he vetoes it again, and the 4th of july break makes sense in terms of making the new low proofile and limiting the appeal to opponents hanging around trenton to make a stink immediately.
  2. Flash the router and bump the gain?
  3. Solid, flux core mig (so arc welding, but out of my little mig machine). Bought a buttload of the ultra cheapest drill bits in the preferred diameter, then bought some very nice cobalt bits in the same size. make the pins out of the shank of the cheapies and blind pin, then cover over with flux core mig. I'm a heathen and it's like a hot glue gun for guys. Yes, it's not awesome TIG, so I'm doing it wrong. Yes, I know it will create a brittle bond with the metal of the bit if it bonds at all. My goal is to essentially create a metal cap to cover in the blind pinned pin, and my brakes aren't particularly fancy steel. I put on too much weld, dress it with a file carefully, and use some high temp paint to cover up my transgressions against serious welders.
  4. That's nice. Not 100% true mind you, but a nice theory that mostly works. I've got a custom built gun that needs a wrench even using that method.
  5. He wants an actual ammo manufacturer, not retail. Black hills or Georgia arms comes to mind.
  6. You.Are. Wrong. Places of public accommodation are not allowed to make rules that discriminate against a protected class. Race, religion, sexual orientation are not. Saying no hats as a rule can cause issues with religious garb. Religion is protected. You want to try and protest a film in the lobby of a movie theater, you will find that speaking your opinion, although a protected right, doesn't protect you from being thrown out of that place of public accommodation. It will protect you when protesting on the public sidewalk by the entrance to the parking lot as long as you don't interfere with traffic in and out.
  7. Screw them. Call them frequently. If you can figure out the right time, 15 minutes before lunch and drag it out. As described, ask for the firearms marshall's name and number. Polite and annoying.
  8. I've got some. My biggest gripe is that they don't have every product for every car and don't have pictures of all their product line. Turned out for my car they were pretty much just normal mats with a big price tag. They wore better than oem all weather mats, so turned out to be slightly cheaper in the long run, but not by much.
  9. I have big hands with long thumbs, so neither? I haven't met a gun I couldn't operate the mag release on other than european style ones on the bottom of the grip. Everything is a compromise though. Most guns are small for me, so I have extra work to do on establishing a good grip on the draw. There is a point at which operating it with your off hand becomes the fastest option IMO. Unless you need to do a reload with retention that is. DUmping an empty mag or a partial mag, if your hands are small enough, there is definitely a point where it's the least wrong answer due to keeping a good grip or time to flip as your weak hand passes it on the way to the new mag anyway.
  10. all the gas operated ones? I'm by no means even close to pushing the envelope on shotgun skills, but they are all soft and fast, especially if the benchmark is a pump gun.
  11. And will be taken and archived by the BATFE when that licensee ceases operation. so...
  12. Because they can sell a car to someone without a license.
  13. It's not nj. Ups is a common carrier, and turning over a gun to them is exempted from all the ffl transfer stuff even though they are affecting an interstate transfer. Ups stores are independent franchisees, and are not common carriers.
  14. It looks liek it was mismarked, let me ask my manager would do as well.
  15. I'll second this. The loose bolts will make it not run for all ammo. I've got a 6" that the top strap has never been off of. Runs like a top on most anything that goes bang rather than click when you pull the trigger. (weird stuff like collibri not included)
  16. It's normal. Is it bad? No. Is it correct? That's debatable. For various calibers, I find the lee trimmer is pretty much at max trim to length. I prefer a set up closer to minimum trim to length because it means less work in the future. With something like an X-die to really minimize work/maximize time between trimmings, the lee one size fits all approach isn't going to work.
  17. There's only one ting you can take out of events to date. The issue of carry is in play, and it's a close game. That's about it. If it were a slam dunk in either direction, it'd be done already.
  18. a couple weeks ago the hamburg store had all the primers you could shake a stick at. They were stashing them in every display nook and cranny. Like 7lbs of powder in the whole store, and the only useful one was some 4895. They also had all the .223 and birdshot you could want at $0.50 a round. Literally pallets all over the store of the .223. Lots more variety of heads for reloading pistol than in the past. Prices were meh. IMO wherever you go, grab primers and brass now, cause I'll bet money when powder starts showing up, something else will be in short supply.
  19. If he is heavy on the graphic design, and light on the IT, it's sparse, especially if you don't know how to deal with print and/or video in addition to web (and not knowing the difference will get you cut from interviews FAST if that skillset is needed at all). If you are just a web graphics type, there's like 80 bajillion of you and a small fraction of that in terms of jobs. It also has the same problem that lots of the folks claiming no shortage of IT work. Note they said I needed a person who coudl do X, Y, and Z. People don't expect any learning to take place on the job and want an exact fit. Which is absurd in IT unless you are prepared to go headhunting with a nice big check. I remember people wanting 15 years of Java developer experience in 1997. The main difference is that in design, school COULD teach you a broad solid skill set that would get you close. Lots don't. In IT you can't really as there is too much depth and breadth in technology to get both. For design, around here, the only answer I have is temp services. If you are broadly skilled, they will keep you placed most of the year, but probably not for more than about $45k a year worth of income. If you aren't broadly skilled, they will drop you out of rotation.
  20. I remember when rimfire central had buck a box mail in matches and you had some options. $0.10 a round is going to be a hard price to maintain.
  21. Not for the state, they want to sue the crap out of us, they can outspend us. For an accident, a fine. Pissing off the town. And until recently I was an md at cj. I've been to the board meetings. I've been to planning meetings. Yes, I said the shotgun fields were a while ago. It was an illustration of the pattern being repeated. I can't even count the number of hours put in to keep them from ruining the plinking pits for matches. Personally I've had enough. I'd just like them to be more cautious with finances. being efficient or making sense isn't even worth asking for. Non profit doesn't mean spend it down to zero each year. The fastest solution is to just wait for time to do its thing and get us a new board. Did the back hoe get suddenly tall enough to dress the berms to the top? Now that we own it, have we been dressing the berms regularly?
  22. I've asked this a lot. Everyone makes things up. If you are north of hackensack, you are safely north jersey. If you are south of Trenton, you are safely in south jersey. BNy that I mean most people you ahve a conversation with in this state will not debate that conclusion, even if they recognize a central new jersey. I've been told Newark is centrla new jersey all the way to trenton is. My personal take is you divide the state roughly in thirds north to south. North is from the northern border to about where you get a line on the map if you draw a straight line through 78, and ends probably around the line you'd get drawing a line between ewing and freehold. Other fun interpretations I've heard are that if you are north of the raritan river, you are north jersey, and south of it you are south jersey. On DSD's map, I'd put union county in the north category. I agree that the county method breaks down with ocean. Probably the northern bit of both Ocean and Burlington should be in central.
  23. Soft bullets can be way dangerous too. What you need is sufficient velocity to shatter the bullet, regardless of construction. In fact probably the most dangerous is really soft lead going just slow enough to bounce whole. Probably next dangerous are non bonded hollow points, as the open ended jacket at the front can launch the jacket back at you and those buggers are sharp. Cratered steel can make even plated or hard cast lead that fragments shoot some fragments back. Parabolic cupping of the steel can do the same. Also last cut is the best as the laser heats up the least area beyond the cut. Water jet is next best. Then plasma. Then oxyacetylene. For all of them, thicker plate usually means tougher edges. I have 1/2" ar500 oxy cut that has fared better at closer ranges than 3/8" water jet cut. Also hanging loose on chain or whatever seems to do a lot to help with wear and tear.
  24. 1) not this board as currently composed, but the construction of the shotgun range as it exists today nearly bankrupted the club. The only reason it did not shut it's doors is because of a loan from a single member. They rewarded said member by kicking him out of the club. The current board is repeating history in how they conduct business. The membership is growing, the bank account is flush. We are multiple projects in to committing virtually every dollar coming in, and we are having the talks of closing membership (aka flattening or reducing revenue), and the board ramping up playing games with volunteers and being disrespectful of the contributions and efforts of members not on the board. This is damn near exactly how that previous board wound up in the red, and we don't have anyone to bail us out that I am aware of. 2) The bank account got very, very low for a club this size between the project overruns on the indoor range followed up by inviting the state EPA and pine lands commission to come bend the club over (yeah, the board instigated that). Then followed up by buying up adjoining property for sale (a policy I agree with, and one of the reasons the board should be more judicious with the pacing of high dollar projects). 3) at the time of the remediation project, which isn't that long ago, the legal fund had zero dollars in it. It may have 400k in it, it needs better than a million. 4) the non profit status was done under the same usual suspects who are still on the board. It was done about the same time as remediation, not that long ago. Yes, some seats changed hands, but not the ones who are calling the shots. 5) examine the books. Yeah the club vp asked to do that and they forced him out. They have resisted clear reporting time and again. Go ahead and ask. I'll buy you a box of .22 if it is more than a summary and actually has thorough line items on spending. 6) we have legal council for the club with a conflict of interest unless they changed council recently. Even if nothing bad has been done it is improper and decreases the value of any legal advice. 7) I wish they spent more money many times. Mainly on expertise. When the pistol pits were stupid huge, they had members who knew what they were doing tell them the plan for drainage was fubar. We got swamps for 1/3 of the year. During the rebuild, we paid an expert and did what they said. It wasn't perfect, but it was 90% of the way there and the 10% was fixable. They handled the sign up fees as a payment plan thing in house. We went forever without payments being collected (which contributed to the bank balance sucking), they started paying a professional, and finally they were billed and collected. 8) did you get the new badges? They look cost effective? Unless you are supposed to detach the year plate and glue a new one on next year, I can't fathom what problem they solve. In the end I really don't care if they aren't maximally efficient. I would like them to have enough common sense to realize a mistake will be made because they happen to everyone, and we should have enough banked to survive it without an assessment. I think we should have a real estate fund and the legal fund set up and fully funded before we do the rifle pits, as that will once again invite the pine lands commission in to drop unplanned expense into the middle if a project guaranteed to cost more than planned as is. Sticking your head in the sand is ignoring reality. I'm not. Oh and to whoever complained about the road not being paved, inviting the pine lands commission in had us forced to rip it up.
  25. Who cares. The board has repeatedly talked about closing membership for no sound reason.
