Hello and welcome from a Middlesex/Mercer County member

OMG, mikeyboyee, I assume you're commenting on the misdirection CNN has been throwing at the faces of their viewers lately, hahaha (I know you're being sarcastic ) I am a habitual viewer of news (I watch everything so I can get all the angles, and piece it together for myself), and I always was on my mother's case about not being aware of what was going on. So, all she watches is CNN now (she's not an Obama fan though), and, in passing, I saw the debates that have been raging on CNN... and it made me chuckle at first that the media would even portray the story like it, but it really got under my skin after the third straight day of hearing the same crap. For anybody that wants to show somebody what political misdirection and disinformation is all about, just show them what CNN is doing right now. The Dems are losing grip on their initial power, as evident by the lack of progress on the healthcare reform. They are losing face with what is going on with ACORN. And suddenly, the mass media blows out of proportion the fringe crowd of the Tea Party express-- headlining that ALL tea party go'ers are racist (not to mention Chavez's buddy Carter speaking out). Suddenly, Afghanistan takes front page (while it had been sitting on page 6 for the past year or so), and there is yet again another posthumous MOH awarded... its almost brilliant, if it wasn't my face that the BS was being thrown at. Oh well.

I've been to U Yee's, pretty nice place-- failed to mention it :shock: . Maks, you're right though, good stuff for a decent price. I'm still waiting for a true conveyor-belt sushi joint. I know there use to be one in the Sony Plaza in NYC, and the only other one I've heard of (but haven't been to yet) is Sakae Sushi on Lexington I believe. I remember tripping across a true sushi house w/ conveyor belt and all when I was in Osaka, and was in heaven. It was the one where you picked up the different sushi's per plate, and at the end they would tally up based on the color of the plate (ie. red plates were $2, while blue plates were $3, etc). I'm staying away from sushi buffet for the time being though, ha, need to get back into shape. As for Aljons pizza and sub shop in Plainsboro... its located in the Princeton Meadows Shopping Center in Plainsboro. There is also a second location in Princeton Junction, right off 571. The original Plainsboro location burned down during a relatively large fire in 2005 or so. It took a couple years for all the business to collect their insurance payouts, but Aljon's rebuilt and opened up either late 2008 or early 2009... and its so much better. Its not the definitive end-all of Italian food, but its what I grew up with, and the owners are great people.

If you want good sushi buffet, check out Ichiumi in the Menlo mall complex. Ichiumi's roots are in NYC, being one of the best sushi places in the City. They branched out, and the Menlo location is their first non-NYC area. I've been there a couple times, and it outclasses everyone else. I've been to the different Minado locations, as well as Makkoli's (which is still one of my favorite)... as well as the smaller no name places... and Ichiumi is by far the best. Definitely a bit pricey, but hell, its sushi buffet-- what do you expect. As for lunch, a cheesesteak from Aljon's in Plainsboro

Honestly, I have no clue. My sling broke in the field, and someone gave me a spare they had. I do want to invest in a Vickers or a 3pt, but this setup works just fine, and is field approved I'd take a picture of it, but my camera took a dump.

This story has been circling Facebook all day, and was picked up by the major media sources earlier tonight. It seems the most complete story is being reported by the Baltimore paper: http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryla ... 7961.story Turns out the kid who defended himself is a resident of our beloved state! Authorities are still trying to figure out exactly what happened, and the individual is being kept detained until they can clear him. As for the burglar? Had his left hand severed and a substantial slice on his upper body-- died on the scene. The criminal had a history... and frankly, I'm glad that's just another piece of scum off the streets.

I agree, need more pictures. Delaying my future shotgun purchase to upgrade the handguards (DD Omega), upgrade the scope to a Millet DMS-1 & LT SPR mount, and BUIS.

Hello and welcome, neighbor

to echo what djg and csj have already said, a solvent and/or lube (I use break free CLP myself) and some kind of bore brush/bore snake at the minimum. I'd recommend the Hoppes package to start with, and go from there. Its true, you'll learn your own way of cleaning

I smoked for a couple years. A buddy and I invested in a cheap hand roller (worked great though). But I quit when I got back to NJ... something about it killing me slowly and paying $6 a pack (this was a year ago)... use to be able to go to Route 66 or 7-11 and get a pack for 3.25 in CO... or when I went through airports/pickups, put that duty free to work.

I've never seen them say anything about picking up after yourself. If you go more then a few rounds at a time w/o picking up, just note to the RO or any other nice fella who might be sweeping the brass in the area to avoid your space.

Hello and welcome

I've seen the trailer for it, nitro... and mannnnn, they look so old, haha. It doesn't look like a masterpiece, and it doesn't appear Dafoe will be back (though the rest of the original cast will be)... but hell, its Boondock Saints, not a Scorsese-- should be fun. And to add to the list, I'm going to go with Hellboy's gun... makes me want a revolver bad every time I see it.

Die Hard, John Woo films, Boondock Saints, Lord of War, and, more recently, Wanted.

I like it a lot. I am curious what a field strip would be like. And if anything, the stock looks like it has an odd angle. Otherwise, that's a competitive price, and looks like it would be a nice alternative.

Congratulations!

Hehe, I can understand the principle for arguments sake, but I'm going to go with Matt on this one. I think the only thing that the common folk might not know readily is to never, ever let the flag touch the ground... and make sure to bring it in during the evening hours.

There are reports saying texts from last night will be turned into a TV show... it'll either be really bad, or moderately bad... unless NPH is doing this one too. http://warmingglow.uproxx.com/2009/09/t ... he-tv-show

I knew a slew of guys during training and in the field that were as you mentioned in the subject. Long story short, they all learned how to shoot lefty. Having bad eye sight in your right eye (if you're a right handed shooter) doesn't mean that eye isn't dominate. Dominate eye has to do with a correct sight-picture. If you attempt to shoot with your strong hand, but left-eye dominate, chances of hitting what you're aiming at will go down dramatically. I have seen guys, though, that refuse to shoot lefty, and instead will grip with their right, and cock their head in such a manner to the right to allow for the left eye to clearly look down the sights. So, its definitely possible to do that. However, that only really works with pistols, and not so much rifles or other long guns. There was an old thread that had to do with finding the dominate eye, etc...

Everybody in the DOD is issued a CAC card, to include DOD government employees, contracted civilians, and military (as we're a part of the "dept of war"). While it has all the pertinent information, name, branch, positive ID picture, branch logo, DOB, Geneva Conventions rank, etc... they also have mini chips which can store a good deal of information. Everything from logging into work stations (CAC card adapters which replace the need for passwords, making the government systems more secure) to even swiping into secure facilities. With that, they also have the ability to track the card as well. Mind you, the CAC card that is currently issued to personnel is the same ID that was considered for the National ID motion that was shot down by the Dems. Its the card that would replace driver licenses, and possibly even credit/debit cards, etc. So, the paranoia with those was that the government could shut down your card at any time, and while it might not make a person obsolete, it would greatly hinder their ability to perform day-to-day things... now, imagine a similar card, and the oppressive measures the NJ government wants to take against gun owners, and the ability to pass a bill... and simply activate (or deactivate) measures on the card themselves... without the hassle of going to the books, etc. Given, I do not know how the proposed ID works, so, this is all assumptions.

It depends on the range. The public ranges I have been to do not require a FID (Shore Shots, BA). Most all club applications have had a requirement to have a FID though. So, probably be best to check with whatever range you're going to.

I'm quite conservative, maybe around $120 a month. I only have to get my hands on .40SW and .223 at this point, and I don't shoot as much as I should.

Great, that's really good to know-- and what I was assuming (that since it didn't collapse, it wouldn't be considered evil)... thanks for the info Cylinder. I'm going to have to save up the $250 and get one now 8-)

I'd only be concerned if this ended up like something like the CAC cards issued to DOD personnel. Otherwise, it'd be an improvement on the Stone Age approach of paper filing, etc.

Nope, its a public range, and the BA guys are really good with the forum shooters.
