We had a short discussion about this in chat last night. I can't for the life of me understand what relevance population density has on firearms rights. On the surface, it sounds like a reasonable argument, and the antis parrot it as a reason to keep NJ isolated and distinct from the rest of America, but if you just peel back the thin veneer of "reasonableness" of the argument, it makes no sense. How will population affect an individual's need to defend themselves from another individual? How is a one on one crime affected by the density of the population surrounding the incident? And, doesn't the fact that there's a greater density of people increase the likelihood that a greater number of them are predators? Not necessarily a higher percentage, just more of them due to the greater sample. If you take the "population density" argument and flip it over, it ceases to be a reason to deny us our rights, and becomes a compelling argument for them. People are just so ignorant.

Nice gun. One of those is on my short list. Have fun with it.

I'm an old fart now, but my dad taught me to shoot with a single shot bolt action Targetmaster with iron sights. It taught me to slow down and take the time to aim. To think about what I'm doing for each shot, and to try to make each shot count since it was such a pain in the asss to get ready for the next one. As cool as semis are, I think a manual action gun encourages better concentration and shooting discipline.

Have a great day.

Yeah, I did. Sorry. I forget that they come in 9mm. Apologies to the 1911 guys.

Greetings and welcome.

Doesn't he have all of the rights, duties, powers and responsibilities of a Chief??

If the market will bear an increase, it's just a matter of time 'til it filters down.

CZ Jericho Sig ? Bersa Thunder some Tauruses (Taurii) a couple of older Smiths (and some new ones) EAA maybe a couple more Oh, nice gun. Have fun with it, and stay safe.

I'll be cutting my rewards card in half and sending it to their corporate offices with a nice little note.

I hate that sculpture, and all it represents. Nice photo.

The entire sporting community in NJ (shooters, hunters, fishermen, softball players, everyone) should stop shopping at Dick's. This is getting ludicrous.

You'll be escorted off the range at Hudson Farm. No problem anywhere else.

Welcome to the group. Cherry Ridge is far and away the best place to shoot for those of us who are too far away from the really nice ranges down south. It has it's little quirks, but there's something for almost everyone there.

Welcome to the group.

Greetings and welcome.

You have the deluxe version.

Purdy. Have fun with it.

7 1/2 Gun Club is fine for clay sports, and the long barrel will do well for some trap shooting. If you find that you like shotgun sports, you're gonna want to step up to a different, more dedicated gun, but plenty of people use a 500 and never look back. If you like a vest, use one. Some people prefer a vest, some a pouch.

Break action, like a shotgun.

When the handgun range at Hercules Trap was still open, I was standing next to a guy who was shooting one of those. He was running some huge round through it, standing with a sling and scope, and killing clays on the 50 yard berm with what looked like no problem at all. Load, aim, aim, aim, BOOM!, do it again. Very impressive, and a very nice gun.

I love hearing stories about people bringing their kids to the range and getting them interested in shooting. It's truly the best way to preserve and perpetuate one of the traditions that make this country great. I don't know about the Savage, but I believe Crickett also makes a left handed youth 22. Their site is hard to navigate, and the information isn't easy to find, but I'm pretty sure I've seen southpaw guns available there. Crickett Rifles

I use the Browning labeled one that Walmart sells. It's divided into 2 sections. One section will hold a full box of shells in the cardboard (very useful for counting to 5) and I toss the empties into the second section. Works well, and I think it was less than 20 bucks.

Objective: To use my meager skills to make my employer money. That should work.

You da man, Nick. I owe ya one. Thanks.
