My son, whom I dearly love in spite of his eccentricities, took a trip to Weaver's today while I was at Shongum. He came home with a brand new to him 91/30, complete with all the bizarre accouterments. It seems to be in good shape, the numbers on the receiver, bolt, and magazine match, the bore is in nice shape, and all in all, it looks like it's at least as nice as some of ones I've seen at the range. He'll be deflowering it at Cherry Ridge on Monday. He's happy, so I guess I am, too.

Nice day today. That type of shooting is a lot of fun, really easy to suck at and hard to do well. I'll need to do more of it if I want to get any better. Seems like the hardest things are a clean draw and quick mag changes. Practice, practice, practice. Pictures will follow later.

He may know other "things", but he doesn't know dick about this.

That image shows up here far too often. Very disturbing. http://www.njgunforums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=5194&p=88083&hilit=connery#p88083

You only need three things to make it happen: The space in your house Unlimited wherewithal An address in America

No, no, a thousand times no. The supreme court ruling did not invalidate every single gun law in the US. There was absolutely no practical impact of Heller or McDonald on NJ. I'm not so sure about that. In NJ posession of all firearms are illegal. Legality is by exception. SC said firearm posession is a right. So NJ law says a right is illegal except by exception. Law will have to change. What that means in the long run is yet to be seen. Likely the wording will change from the exception based luncheon meat it is now, but the results will almost certainly stay the same (or get worse). It's just rearranging the deck chairs.

Greetings from the other end of the state.

Where have you been? It isn't called "global warming" any more. The new and correct phrase is "climate change". Now, not only can they blame the spreading desert models on human industrial activity, they can also point to the same cause for the snowball earth models. Win win for the eco-nazis.

hey Mike, when did you go green?

Greetings, and welcome to the group.

I'm sure Lautenberg is taking notes. Coming soon to a legislature near you.

You are "special".

I was fearful that Barry got the Internet "red button" he's been hustling for. Whew!! Not yet.

It's okay... I don't feel knocked. Everyone is entitled to their own politics and principles. When they put those principles aside to make a buck, they've become whores. Remember the list of anti-gun actors and actresses? Some of them made millions in roles that are extraordinarily gun-centric. Michael Gross (Bert Gummer) comes right to mind. Whores, but if they can sleep at night, good for them.

Crap! Looks like I'm out of this one, guys. Lynn's thyroid surgery has been rescheduled from the 27th to the 23rd. It's an overnight in the hospital, which brings her home on Saturday. I don't think I'm getting out for Sunday. Have a great time. Take plenty of pictures. Yet again, I get to live vicariously through the experience of others. Ken

Yep. It sure is.

No chance of EVER getting trap or skeet houses - Probably true, unless they put a trap house out on the sg field and shut it down to casual shooting when the trap is running. No chance of ever seeing a setup of IDPA or USPSA - Not necessarily true. Even at Shongum, those are temporary setups. CR could easily commit any of the ranges to an event for a day, and strike the setups after the event.

Admittedly, a less than scientific poll. A couple of the items are mutually exclusive. Deal with it.

Remember that FPID, although not a firearms registration per se, does put you on a list of potential firearms owners, and therefore could lead to profiling and future discrimination.

Same choices as mine.

Okay, we got McDonald. Very cool. Now let's see who among us can agree on what we really want in the way of firearms law reform in New Jersey. One of the giant roadblocks to forming a unified face to legislative reform in NJ is the fact that so many groups see such reform in vastly different ways. Even here, with such a statistically small sampling, many of us want different results. Here's an informal poll. Select 3 things that you would like to see changed, eliminated, rewritten or adjusted. There are only 10 slots for the poll, so forgive me any omissions.

I see you excluded a handgun. Odd. Anyway, regarding the rifle and/or shotty, what do you want to do with them?

I blame the three scumbags that did it.
