Don't shoot that gun without a choke in it. You'll screw up the choke threads. Get a Cylinder or Skeet choke.

Gotta give the ACLU huge credit. They have their bullshlt down to a science. No matter what process or procedure is in place, they have talking points against, and are willing to go to the mat for it... Scanners are intrusive, and "administrative pat-downs" are assault, therefore we're against it Profiling is discriminatory and arbitrarily singles out groups and individuals for special scrutiny, therefore we're against it Doing nothing is irresponsible and puts the flying public at risk, therefore we're against it But, they're okay with selectively sending people through the scanners based on some unknown and objective "feeling" that an unskilled, minimum wage and minimally trained checkpoint worker may have about a particular passenger as they go through the security system. I just love it. They get to sue someone for something no matter what.

Tragic. Condolences to the family for their terrible loss.

Nicely done.

Sure it's logical, but again, it goes against our teachings as a fair and equitable society. I didn't say e we were doing it right, just that we're looking for an answer.

Not in her shirt. Plenty of room.

It does, but it's not what we do. I think we're at a crossroads as a nation. We desperately want to live up to our mandate of being a trusting and honorable people, and when that trust is turned against us, we have no history to look back on for guidance. We look for answers that only minimally compromise our ideals, and find ourselves groping in the dark for a solution. The same situation with the WBC. We've fought and died to ensure the very freedoms they flaunt with their hatred. Do we deny them their freedoms just because we find their message abhorrent? Or do we give them their 15 minutes and let them fade away into irrelevance? As a morally tolerant society, are we to draw a line at a point where we no longer tolerate intolerance, or trust in human nature that people will eventually come to their senses. The world is becoming a fractured and polarized place, and our mission of freedom and equality is constantly being tested. Ensuring equality for all is harder than ever, since some groups believe that they can only be equal at the expense of some other group. I don't know where it's going to end, or which direction is the right one.

Improved Cylinder should be fine. It'll be a bit more open than a Mod, and at skeet ranges, there's still only a very small chance of the bird making it through the cloud unhit. As far as shot size, I'm pretty sure the Fudds at Sparta shoot #8 shot.

I think I remember the SP sending out a memo last year insisting that all issuers remember to collect the $18.00 fee, no matter how much time has elapsed since the last application.

Why would they?? The liability if something slips through would bury them.

Generally, muffs will be more effective than all but the most expensive, custom fitted plugs. I use the cheap (Brownell's ??) electronic muffs on the pistol range, and sometimes double up with plugs inside if the noise is bothering me. For shotgunning, I just use plugs. I mount my guns very high to my cheek, almost under my right ear, and muffs get in the way. Plugs alone seem to work just fine for the trap fields. YMMV

Wave to Ocean Parkway and Coney Island Ave. for me as you drive by

There may be 2, we just don't know for sure.

Someone had to say it... and I'm glad it wasn't me.

I believe you... and I believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny (yum), unicorns, and that diet Dr. Pepper tastes as good as original.

Wouldn't it be much simpler to drive it to a place with fewer zombies?? It is, after all, A VEHICLE.

Outstanding. Mazel Tov, and may I be the very first one to officially welcome you to Fuddsdom. Your official silly hat will be forthcoming. Try the pie. It's wabbit.

All I know is that when the Zombie Apocalypse finally comes, I'm joining the team that has a fleet of these here bad boys. Be vewy,vewy quiet, I'm hunting zombies! Link to article

They're 2 different issues. Of course, it would be great to secure the borders and get a handle on who's here illegally, and find some reasonable way to deal with that problem, but that has nothing to do with a group of people who may be be here legally, but still have the intent to crash a plane, blow up Disneyland, or flood a tunnel. I don't like the intrusion into my personal life and travels, I don't like security cameras everywhere, and I especially don't like the thought of the gubbermint's idea of putting everyone into the haystack while they search for the needle, but it's better than being blown into little pieces just because I happen to unlucky enough to be walking outside a Starbuck's when the bomb goes boom. The "right" to privacy when in public never really existed, and the only reason the presence of such a right was ever inferred was because the technology to observe and track individuals was never as advanced as it is now. With the advance in tech, the ability to observe and track individuals has become pervasive, and in some cases, perverted. But, the clock can't be turned back. Your travel habits, purchases and a good deal of other "personal" information resides in any number of data banks, and the combined information paints a very detailed picture of anyone "they" choose to search on.

Surprised?? As far back as the beginning of his campaign, he said that he's got little to no interest in pursuing a Shall Issue status for NJ, and if by some giant rip in the laws of probability such a Bill were to hit his desk, that he couldn't say with any certainty that he wouldn't veto it.

With friends like us... It looks like a nice gun. I hope the details work out.

No, I'll let Troy buy it, and if it doesn't work out for him, I'll be a good friend and take it off his hands for a ridiculously low fire sale price.

Nice gun. We'll make it work for you, no problem. And if not, well, we'll work something out.

Outstanding.

The WMA ranges in NJ require that at least one member of the party have a valid and current NJ hunting license. The ranges themselves don't charge shooters any sort of fee, but a hunting license is necessary. I don't hunt, so someone else will have to fill you in on the non-res license requirements. Depending on where in PA you are, there may be a regular pay as you shoot trap or skeet range nearby. Oh, and welcome to the group.
