There is no place on earth more surveilled than a casino's property. Doing anything illegal there just means you want to be caught.

I give it a much higher chance of being signed by Romney than Obama. We have absolute facts that Romney is very anti-gun, since he signed into law the MA "assault weapons" ban, and has stated many times in interviews that he would sign Brady bills. We're all pretty sure Obama is likely to be anti-gun in his second term (his actions were moderately pro-gun in the first term), but that's yet to be discovered.

I have a Mosquito and like it a lot. Around 650 rounds down the pipe, no cleaning yet, not a single failure of any kind. I only use CCI AR Tactical 22LR ammo in all my many 22's and never have any problems, so my experience may not jive if you are using crappo ammo.

"Brake"

It's not an article anyone wrote. It's the repeating of a press release, so no editorial thought at all.

Krdshrk's proposed line up would be great, but surprised they are going to the All-Star format after just 4 seasons; seems premature.

The NJ Gun Map can help you find local ranges / shops. If you find one that's not on the map, let me know. http://www.njgunmap.com

The website has a picture of the range concept: http://www.shootersnj.net/ Price on the website is $1250 for 10 years before they open, $2500 for 10 years after they open. Well, it says "before framing begins" in one paragraph and "before opening" in another paragraph. If you want archery too, it's $1800 / $3600, which is the crazy thing to me. $550/$1100 to add archery to your range membership??

What's your location so we can suggest other outdoor ranges?

Ammo prices are lower now than they have been in quite a while. Since I shoot 500+ rounds a week, including some I don't bother reloading, I buy a lot. And it's cheap now!

I know they made a second version. I wonder if you had a v1 or v2; I don't know if there is a way to tell, or if they've ever really explained the differences. I wonder if the new receiver is the thing. I really want one.

A place where we agree 100%. But, I don't think red light cameras really have anything to do with cops, and while they drive me crazy (and I donate to the NMA which is helping to fight them), it doesn't make my perception of cops any different.

I will try to find it and share it. I did a quick google search for "arrest videotaping cops" and found a ton of stories, but not the ones I've remember recently about cops getting dismissed. I won't log in again until tomorrow, but I'll try to find it. I wasn't making it up. I have no interest in arguing with you, and you know what they say about arguing with people on the internet. I am sure you are a good cop, and I apologize for riling you up, but your comment about arresting a photographer hit a button for me, because it reminds me of some of the sillier pointless restrictions to our freedoms made after 9/11 that didn't really improve security. They are largely being returned now, but it's still tough. Rail fans (those strange people who like taking pictures of trains) now have to carry with them printouts of the NJ Transit letter reminding police that it's not illegal to take pictures of trains from public places! By the way, I understand the other side too, and some of the links I found are about cops trying to figure out what to do with random people standing 5' away from their arrests with video cameras or phones. They tell the people that they can keep videotaping but they need to give them more room to work. The video guy says "I'm peaceful and not bothering you" and the cop then has a real dilemma to which I am sympathetic.

No, in fact I've never sued anyone because the cops I've dealt with haven't been overbearing power hungry guys with low understanding of legal principles. The ones who arrest people video taping arrests (and train stations) don't belong in law enforcement, aren't smart enough to read the paper to understand what the legal concepts behind freedom mean, and are being removed from service, thank goodness. Multiple cops in Boston just got removed last week for arresting a bystander videotaping an arrest, and it keeps happening. But, make the mistake of violating my civil rights and you'll certainly be finding another career without a pension after 20 years.

Of course it was. Unpopular and distasteful speech is exactly and absolutely what our founding fathers were trying to protect, and hopefully so are you since you've sworn to uphold the constitution.

Fortunately for the rest of us, this is where you lose your job, lose your immunity from civil action and get sued. This has happened so many times, even in NJ, lately that it's weird any cops would still try this stunt. You can take pictures of anything from public property. For a while cops were arresting people taking pictures of trains from public property, but at this point those cops have all spent enough time in court to learn their lessons. I, for one, would love to be arrested by you for filming an arrest in front of a chemical factory or bridge. I'd love for my mortgage to be paid off and maybe a new Porsche. It would be annoying having to fight off all the attorneys looking to defend me, but I could manage.

Sounds like your gun has been fixed to work right. BUT, I really wouldn't trust any gun that's brand new / unbroken in for any situation! After you run a 1000 rounds through a gun you can start thinking about trusting it.

My mistake, it's actually $375pp ! Yikes. Well, I promised I would attend so I'll be there. The brochure for the event is here: http://give.ppbsa.org/2012%20Hudson%20Farm%20Shoot/2012%20Website.pdf -Dave

Most of the places I shop will go down a little, especially if you use cash/check. I'm not a big bargainer / power shopper, but I've always said "is that as low as you can go?" on the price tag, and I think every place (even terrible places like Cheyenne) have dropped a few %....

He's not a Senator. He's a State Senator. Laugh and point at him.

I'm going to a "rich guy charity shoot" there next month (for the Patriots Path Council, Boy Scouts of America); I'll let you know what it's like. I think I'm paying $275, but it includes a pig roast and all the ammo, etc.

I think that this Saturday 5/19 is the start of the 2012 season. Matt, if you are still here, are the rules / course of fire the same? I'm going to try to make it this year! -Dave
