so does ANYONE store-wise take back or swap ammo ?
Keep the ammo. Buy a 20g shotgun.

Here we go.. Assault Weapon Ban being resurrected?
Where is the more reputable source? Their "source" is Mac Slavo... the same as every other article about Feinstein that has come out in the last couple days. Every article points back to him and stops there... and all he's done is regurgitate old Feinstein quotes from months ago. Maybe I missed it, but what exactly are the "latest developments"? All I'm seeing are quotes from Feinstein that date back to Sept and July... What am I missing here?

World War Z
It looks like they took some of the locations and events from the book and used them as the backdrop for the movie, but that's where the similarities end. I think it looks decent if you just want a zombie/action movie... but it's not World War Z. That said, I'm still going to see it

Snow Storm Bob - Just lost power!
We lost power from about 4pm-6pm. No one was home when it happened so we're not really sure if it was localized to a few houses... our block.. the whole town? Who knows.

Obtaining Gasoline
This Plus this. It's not. Things are genuinely different up here. Things seem to be getting better and better every day.. whether it's because most people filled up over the weekend or because more gas is starting to find it's way up here, I can't say. But, just because you're not experiencing it, doesn't mean it's not really happening.

Obtaining Gasoline
How far down Rt 3 did you hop on? At about 5:15-5:20pm I drove by the BP on Rt 3W (right off of 495) and there were about 10 cars in line and it seemed to be moving well. I saw one more open station on 3 West around that time that had a relatively short line but I can't remember if it was the Hess near Harmon Cove or the Sunaco further west on 3.
-
Obtaining Gasoline
I drove around Clifton a bit yesterday evening - mostly Broad St/Allwood Rd/Rt 3 - and I would say it was close to 75% of gas stations closed. Based on the amount of lights I saw, almost all of them seemed to be closed due to lack of gas and not lack of power.

were the defensive ammo deals?
From a bit of research I did on these, they're pretty crappy as far as defensive rounds go. They're playing off the hydrashok name to give the impression that they're similar, but there seems to be very little similarity between the rounds. They may be marginally better than FMJs, but don't compare to GDs, HSTs or Ranger T's.

Champion Generator Recall
http://www.championpowerequipment.com/news/important-product-recall-notice-models-41532-and-41332/ Both seem to be models sold at costco Model # 41532 – 9000 Watt / 7000 Watt Wireless Remote Electric Start Portable Generator (Retail $699) Model # 41332 – 8250 Watt / 6500 Watt Wireless Remote Electric Start Portable Generator (Retail $699) With all the new generator owners, I figured this might affect some people here.

Obtaining Gasoline
Up here in the Rt 3/46 area (clifton, montclair, bloomfield, little falls, nutley) things seem pretty bad. I had the police scanner on most of the morning and 99% of the calls were either about traffic caused by lines to gas stations, fights at gas stations, or gas stations that had no gas. Minimum wait seems to be an hour for the few stations that have gas...

Post Sandy Fuel Shortage?
Lazy, stupid, scared, or maybe they just got nothing better to do. Who knows. The fact remains that there are very very long lines up here at every station I drove by today. And I can't honestly say it makes much sense to me to drive an hour away to get gas considering you'll end up burning at least couple gallons of it getting back. I'd rather wait an hour locally, fill up, and then drive 5 minutes back home with a full tank of gas. :unknw:
-
Post Sandy Fuel Shortage?
You're confused Many of the people that are waiting in the crazy lines up here are running on fumes and probably wouldn't make it 20 minutes let alone 2 hours. More than one person has completely run out of gas waiting in line. Add that to the stations that have run out of gas or don't have power and you have a greatly reduced number of available stations and you end up with 1-2 hour waits to get gas. Luckily we filled up both cars before the storm and have only used up a quarter tank since then, so, knock on wood.. no waiting in long lines yet.

Generator
Makes sense. I have a few things in my "save for later" cart because it lets me know when the prices change.. but I've never seen anything change so drastically. I guess I got lucky and bought at just the right time.
-
Generator
I'm actually quite surprised to see Amazon raising it's prices so quickly. I bought a generator from them on Thursday for $429. Today it's $539 (with a 3-6 week wait). Not as drastic as the guys trying to make 2-3 times what they paid.. but still.. it was somewhat unexpected as their prices tend to be pretty fair most of the time.

Blackout Post-Mortem - What would you do different?
We never lost power, and no flooding this year, so, didn't really get to test anything out. I did have some thoughts as the storm was going thru and I was pretty sure we would lose power: 1 - I need to try out my "extension cord from the generator into the house" plan BEFORE I actually need to do it and see if it's actually feasible.. I have a feeling it would not have been fun to try snaking cords thru a window at 2am in the pouring rain... but I'm not sure I like the idea of running the cord beforehand. I dunno.. gotta figure that one out. 2 - I probably should have bought more gas for the genny. My genny (3500/4000W) is rated at 12 hours of run time at 50% load from the 3.8 gallon tank. The idea was to only run it if the sump pump needed to run, which, based on Irene, I thought might be 12 hours at most... so I only bought 6.5 gallons of gas for the cans. Once I ran thru the first oil change break in period (5 hours), I was down to just over 5 gallons of gas. I probably would've been ok, but it would've been better to have more of a cushion. Overall tho, I was happy with my "preps" for Sandy (most of the stuff was leftover from my Irene preps) altho it's hard to say for sure how well things would've worked since we didnt get to use much of it.. Oh, and everyone should have bungee cords on hand. I was using them for all sorts of things these past couple days. One of the most useful "prep" purchases I've made

Need some Generator Advice
Sadly, keeping the sump pump going is my main concern. During Irene, the pump and a wet vac were the only things that kept my basement from being ruined. Luckily the power doesn't really go out here, but, I was always curious how people ran the gens in a situation like that where it rains for a couple days.
-
Need some Generator Advice
Where do you guys run your gas generators if it's raining? I'm guessing you can't just leave them out in the rain... and running the gen in the garage with the door open probably wouldn't work too well either...

"knockout game" Be cautious...
Yes, it should be pretty obvious. Your generalized statement about what "isn't correct" left quite a bit of room for interpretation, particularly when these knockout games are (in most cases) being carried out by individuals within groups against singular victims. Anyway. I'm not saying CCW is the answer to every problem, so we're mostly in agreement.
