Red light scamera petition
I don't know who is feeding you this misinformation, but study after study by actual researchers show that red light cameras always decrease traffic safety. http://www.motorists.org/red-light-cameras/studies

Stafford Forge WMA is a mess. Anyway to get it improved?
Fantastic. Eagle Scout projects benefit all of us all the time. Find out what troop he's from and I'll make sure they get kudos (I'm involved in the BSA at a council/state-wide level).

Red light scamera petition
Red light cameras aren't really designed to catch people running red lights, which might seem strange. Typically, a red light camera increases accidents at an intersection between 300% and 500%, as people jam on their brakes inappropriately at the first sign of yellow. There is also the issue that yellow lights at these intersections are typically lighted 50% of the time required by NTSB standards; the installation of red light cameras is usually accompanied by re-timing in order to increase revenues. Finally, probably the worst part is that red light cameras are not run by towns, cities or counties, but by private firms that take a large percentage of the revenue and give the rest to the town. There has never been a study that proved red light cameras did anything but significantly decrease traffic safety. Even the "Insurance Institute for Highway Safety" (which is an industry organization promoting profitability of insurance firms, and usually opposed to motorists' interests) has found that red light cameras are a danger to society.

Teen slices off own head with toy helicopter
I have a quadcopter that uses 4 10" blades spinning very fast. They will easily remove a finger. I managed to seriously slice a finger one time, and apparently most guys do that at some point. But, If that ever came down fast, it could clearly sever something...

Interesting defamation suit brought by SEI
There's a new sociological phenomenon (or maybe just a meme) called the "Barbra Streisand Effect." Basically, trying to bully people to remove things from the internet or punish them for opinions you don't like almost always backfires and leads to more negative publicity http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbra_Streisand_effect As for LaRue, I love that company and purchase anything I can from them. Just got a fantastic scope mount for my new AR-10 from them. They support our troops like there is no tomorrow. They include cool armadillo bottle openers and a bottle of "dillo spice rub" with your order, along with "God Bless Our Troops, Especially Our Snipers" bumperstickers in every order. I love those guys. They also have a one-year no questions asked guarantee on anything they make. I suspect they might also not suffer fools gladly.

357 lever gun
So, I posted that pre-merger Marlins are great, but I have to admit that the gun I actually have is a Taylors 1873 Uberti, modified to Cody-matic standards by CodysCowboyShop. You can see the gun here: http://www.taylorsfirearms.com/cartridge-rifles/1873-lever-action/1873-sporting-rifle-full-octagonal-barrel/1873-sporting-rifle-full-octagonal-barrel-357mag-20-blue-finish-with-case-hardened-frame-straight-walnut-stock-model-200f.html and Cody's version of it here: http://codyscowboyshop.com/#pricing I bought the gun for $1000 on this very forum, cost the original owner close to $1500. Takes only an inch or two on the lever to fully cycle the action, and it's mirror smooth. Pretty amazing rifle.

No, actually buy a Marlin, but pre-2007. They are superior firearms pre merger.

Are these mags crap? $6 15rd G19 9mm
At $6, buy a couple and try them out. Not much lost, and even if they aren't that great as Lunker said use them at the range.

Heritage Guild in Rahway
Actually, the two gunsmithing jobs i know of from here (one for me, one for a friend) were both not done particularly well. The work they did on my very expensive custom Kimber 1911 (which I purchased from them) has never worked, and they charged me a lot to fix a gun that they sold me defective... The one thing the NJFAGs have over Bullseye is that they have an astounding inventory, most of the time. You can really see many different guns to choose from.

Question about speed limit signs...
In my experience bringing a good lawyer prevents trials. Prosecutors either drop the case or agree to drop it to a non-points fine for a non-moving non-traffic violation. In multiple cases I paid a few hundred dollars for "parking on the sidewalk" instead of a speeding ticket. Also, most pertinent to the original poster, if the cop fails to show up you can often get it dismissed with a lawyer present. Without that, it will always get postponed, even multiple times. The only time you'd ever go to court to fight a radar ticket is if you could get strong evidence via subpoena that the gun was a piece of crap, or that the speed limit was improperly posted, etc. I agree, if you are going to fight a ticket on its merits just go alone, because you're going to lose anyway. They key is that except in extreme cases of speeding where you actually put people's lives in jeopardy, all speeding tickets are merely attempts at increasing revenue. If you give the town an alternate method of collecting almost as much revenue without wasting time in court they will almost always take it.

Question about speed limit signs...
You can, and sometimes that works, but generally the judge will postpone once or twice to give the cop a chance to show up. If you bring a lawyer, you are more likely to get the ticket dismissed if the cop doesn't show up because your attorney can explain to the judge that you had to pay for him to be there whether or not the cop showed up, and you shouldn't have to pay for him to come with you again. In my experience, bringing a very good lawyer to traffic court is like bringing a nuclear missile to a knife fight. I used to get a lot of speeding tickets, a long time ago. When I would go by myself I'd get about half dismissed. Never got a ticket with points when I brought a strong attorney. It's a cost/benefit thing. The lawyer might cost $200-$500, but that's a lot less than the increased insurance bills.

Shot a Desert Eagle 44 today
I also have a DE 44mag. It's a great gun. You have to hold it firmly, and also not push on the magazine from the bottom, and then it feeds perfectly. It was a little rough at first, but after a few hundred rounds it feeds perfectliy now. I paid around MSRP, which is around $1200, and got it through Bullseye Tactical.

.50ammo can$9.99+ Cabelas
You are ignoring the cost of gas and the time to drive the things around once they arrive at a single location in NJ. That cost will vastly outweigh the $4.50 you saved in shipping with your 10 friends.

Alone at the range
We let three people in this month to replace members who passed away. I'd expect at least that many every month.
