I haven't heard anything.

Any place in Sussex County other than Vernon or Sparta.

Okay, why wait, then? Call FOX and tell them what's going on and see if they care. See if they take away air time from the TSA debacle, or the international NWO conspiracy, or the collapse of the dollar and the American way of life to give you the time of day.

The simple answer is that we don't count. We're not a large enough voting block to even move the needle, and we're the perfect target when someone needs to get thrown in front of the train under the bus whenever attention needs to be diverted from something else, or when the soccer moms get together and complain the nothing is being done to bring crime and violence under control. With the stroke of a pen, in just a few minutes, a new law further restricting evil weapons of chaos and destruction can be put in place, and then they can ballyhoo to all who care that their ongoing war against violence and crime has taken another giant leap forward. The details are irrelevant, nobody cares. Only that some other weapon that can hurt the children or penetrate the vests of our heroic law enforcement officers has been removed from the streets. We're the only ones suffering the loss of our rights, and, quite frankly, nobody outside the very small part of a very small group actually gives a shlt about it.

Which is all well and good if the people witnessing the event or writing the history are fair and objective. Then there's a chance that any such sacrifice may do some good. That, sadly, is no longer the case. Without a counterpoint perspective, the media can say anything about anything, and citizens standing up for their rights become gun wielding fanatics under their pens, and fade away like so many other lone crazies have in the past.

Barricaded New Jersey Man Shot To Death In Home A New Jersey man was shot and killed this morning after barricading himself in his (your town here) home and refusing to turn over his arsenal of illegal assault weapons and cache of thousands of rounds of military style cop killer bullets. After learning that he was in possession of illegal assault weapons under the new NJ law prohibiting such infernal machines, (your name here) locked himself in his home and challenged the NJ State Police in their sworn duty to lawfully enter his home to confiscate and destroy a number of military style assault weapons. Upon enetring the home after the brief shootout which left (your name here) dead at the scene, State Police discovered a large, heavily secured vault containing upwards of 8 military style rifles, 3 large capacity handguns usually reserved for law enforcement use, and thousands of rounds of high power ammunition. And so on and so forth.... Not the type of media coverage I'd like to have.

It also used to be legal to drive without seat belts or set off firecrackers on 4th of July. Any law can change at any moment, especially here, where we are driven by exceptions to a blanket ban on firearms.

Friday bump.

I've reached out to the few people I know that aren't already on this forum for any more information. I'll post if I hear anything or get any credible information.

I think one of the Plainfields carries M&P .40.

Not only that, but if they come to get them, they're taking them all, and since you're now a criminal by your own admission, well, you know the rest.

I don't really want to sound conspiratorial, but I have to wonder if this isn't a pushback against the recent attention we ourselves are bringing to the shooting community. Is it even remotely possible that the antis are seeing the beginnings of a mobilization in NJ, and they're pressuring Trenton to assert their authority in ways that directly affect the very portions of the firearms community that they most despise and fear? Are we finally on their radar, and are they flexing their muscle in an effort to stifle us back into submission? Another one of those things that make you go hmmmm...

If anyone comes across a link to a valid source, or a document, please post it. I looked for a while and can't find anything.

An ingenious and complicated solution to a problem easily solved with education and common sense. I'll pass, thanks.

Drunk people??

He prepared poorly.

Handguns only.

My pleasure, Frank.

The poll is in the sidebar on the right of the page. I almost missed it, too.

Infernal - 1 : of or relating to a nether world of the dead 2 a : of or relating to hell b : hellish, diabolical And I thought the wording of New Jersey's firearms laws was over the top God, I love hyperbole. It's so useful when lawmakers have no idea what they're talking about. Just browse through the dictionary for the most terrifying word to describe something, and watch the ignorant cower in fear and beg to be protected from "infernal machines" and "cop killer bullets". There ought to be a law.

If someone would like to write a piece about the meeting, I'll put it on the njShoot site and put it out in the next mailing.

The level of detail is a bit more obvious after a simple color inversion in photoshop.

Wow, Glenn, that's a lot of woman you need to keep satisfied (and fed). Sure you're up to it??

Well said, Maks. As far as I'm concerned, you have nothing to explain, and certainly nothing to apologize for. You've done a good thing here. You've brought at least part of the shooting community together in friendship and camaraderie, helped us develop a sense of community, inspired some of us to take further steps towards growing and strengthening the shooting community in NJ, and provided a friendly and low stress place for us to hang out and jabber mindlessly about damn near anything that comes to mind. Thanks for that.

Weather permitting (so far they say 45 and cloudy) I'm gonna try to get out there for a few rounds. Anyone else?
