And a hazardous waste polluter.

Photoshoot model oiler is a union job.

This kind of paranoid self-loathing infecting the NJ shooting community is one of the main reasons we're in the condition we're in. If everyone were as open about their associations out in the real world as they are in the safe anonymity of the Internet, maybe there would be more progress towards the restoration of our rights instead of just the monotonous harrumphing that we have now. When I was deciding what sort of logo item I wanted to start with for njShoot, I had to choose between hats, mugs or decals. My thinking was that if the community didn't embrace the concept of a Community Network and the decals and mugs failed, I would be stuck with a bunch of useless crap. If the hats failed, at least I could wear them. It was a good choice. I don't even bother tossing them in the washing machine. I just grab a new one when one gets dirty. When the last new one gets too dirty to wear, I'll put them all in the wash.

Maybe someone should stand outside and tell people about this... Youth Shooting Sports Alliance

It's sad when people get their 15 minutes, and start to believe their own public relations.

I don't like bumper stickers or anything really large and obnoxious, but I do have an NRA decal discretely displayed on my rear window. I don't understand the reluctance to display our organization associations. Is it fear that some anti is gonna track us down? Should we not display "I love fishing" stickers out of fear of PETA hunting us down in our homes and stealing our rods and reels? Have we become so beaten down that even we consider displaying an NRA, SAF, or any other rights advocacy organization decal the equivalent of displaying a NAMBLA or Al Qaeda sticker? I'm sure the Miller minions have no related fear of displaying Brady Bunch and other anti-rights stickers prominently on the windows and bumpers of their oh so green hybrids. Do any of us really believe that a "My other auto is a .45" bumper sticker (as silly and pretentious as that is) is really an invitation to the police to pull us over and try to get a look in our cars? Do the police really have so little to do? Are they following cars with "I love Beer" stickers to see if the drivers are DUI? Or are we just looking for excuses, no matter how irrational, to not show publicly that we are proud members and participants in what little remains of the shooting community in the state? Very sad.

Basically, NJ law says that it's illegal to hand your NJ compliant, legally owned firearm to ANYONE, ANYWHERE, for ANY REASON, EVER. In an example of what they consider compromise, the state has begrudgingly deigned to allow "temporary transfer" exceptions to this absurd law so that we can enjoy a few of the freedoms of firearm ownership. So, we may hand our guns to someone else while hunting, at a gun shop or smith or at a state permitted range. There are some restrictions on the transfer to keep it legal. Period. That's it. If someone comes to your house and you show off your collection and hand them a gun to look at, illegal. Doesn't matter if it's your property, doesn't matter if the gun is unloaded. This is why I find all of the discussions on shooting on private property so interesting. If you're not in a no discharge area, or otherwise allowed to discharge firearms on private property, YOU may shoot YOUR guns on YOUR property. Anything else is either a violation of transportation or transfer laws and is illegal in some way.

My pleasure. I may not agree with everything on your agenda, but this is one cause that I do think is vitally important and attainable.

I actually spent some time thinking about this in great detail for a project I was thinking of, and gave it up as being unworkable under current law. If you transport your guns to anywhere that isn't exempted, it's illegal. If you hand your guns to anyone in a non-exempted location, it's an illegal transfer if you hand your guns to anyone who may not be allowed to possess guns, it's an illegal transfer If someone sees your model in the woods with a gun, it's likely brandishing or threatening There may be more, but my brain started hurting when I realized the risk I would be taking.

I'm sure the Federal and NJ state permitting and licensing process would make it less than cost effective to make your own fuel. Can't be messing with the status quo, man.

I sent an e-mail to the njShoot mailing list regarding this, and put a notice of the effort in the Community New & Announcements area of the site. This is a more basic goal than CCW or AWB reform. This goes directly to the ability of the shooting community to grow and prosper, and I think everyone whose livelihood depends, even in part, on the continued growth and health of the community should be behind this effort 100%. If people are illegally intimidated and coerced to the point where the growth of the community suffers, then the businesses that depend on a healthy shooting economy will suffer as well. Good luck with the effort, guys. K

There's no requirement to prove legal ownership on demand. If the gun is compliant and you're transporting it legally, that's all you need. There are circumstances where it would be impossible to prove ownership of a perfectly legal gun (inheritance, out of state purchase), so there isn't any necessity to have proof of legal ownership. If they need to find out , they can just look it up.

What the crap???? I left this morning for work, gas in the Quick Check in Newton was $3.09.9. Came home a half hour ago, it was $3.15.9!!! That's a SIX CENT per gallon jump over an 8 hour period. Damn!!!

It's awful. Putting aside the horrible production values and cheap set design, she's obviously not professional on air talent, more likely some EAA exec's girlfriend's wannabee porn star sister.Looks like she's just one tequila shot shy of fellating the damn things.

Hey Frank (not that old one, the other old one), Happy Birthday.

If it's a NJ compliant gun, why wouldn't it be legal?? They're transporting a NJ compliant, legally owned firearm to an exempted destination (gun shop) in NJ. Sounds Kosher to me.

Trust me, Ken in a dress would be something you wouldn't soon forget. And not in a good way, either. For that matter, the same probably goes for Steph in a dress.

Echo, with or without the rolled up sock??

They may be fine guns. I've never handled or shot one, but I just can't take them seriously as company because of their TV commercial (the one with the girl sitting on the desk fondling the guns). That low end, low budget piece of crap makes me heave every time I see it.

Welcome to the group. Spend some time going through the threads. Many of your questions will be answered. Hook up with some of the regular meetups to sample a bunch of different guns. Get started on the FID/PPP process while you're gathering information. Attend some more meetups. Participate and ask questions. By the time your paperwork comes in, you'll be well prepared.

Welcome to the group.

Well, that puts an end to the conjecture that Christie is even remotely pro-rights.

Rob, welcome to our little corner of Hell. It's nice to see someone with the national recognition that you have stop in and visit the forum. I'm sure we all hope to see you participate here from time to time. Also nice to see an objective media piece about guns and shooting coming out of New Jersey. It doesn't happen a lot, and it's a rare breath of fresh air. Almost like being in America. Thanks for sharing the link.

Please. You already know that you're going for the Pro. You're just looking for us to support the decision. Just do it, and stop looking for enablers.
