I'd heard something along those lines as well. The parent may be known personally to the Chief and/or prosecutor. The whole thing is terrible, and was completely avoidable. A reminder those who have small children to lock your stuff up, all the time, under multiple layers of security if possible. Educate the kids, although a 4 y/o just won't be able to understand in most cases. Mine does not. My 5 & 7 y/os know that if they see a firearm or ammo with no one around to leave it alone and call and adult. But who knows what they really might do. A dog is my first line of defense, if and when I need a firearm, I have to unlock some things. The DA in Texas that was killed supposedly had numerous guns stashed around his house, but had collected them up and stored them, because of a family Easter gathering. Presumably children were around for that. The SO in TN(?) whose wife was shot by another small child, also very much avoidable. You cannot follow them 24/7 but tots from 1-5 years old, especially boys, have a bad habit of getting into trouble when left unsupervised, even for a few minutes.

Why wouldn't you? To get the certificate you do. You gonna go all the way there and not bother to shoot, even though you can use loaner M1s and buy the ammo there? You really don't have to bring anything, except eye and ear protection. There's loaner everything. There will probably be a few people who have never shot an M1 before at the match. Plus the collected wisdom of the people running the thing.

I got the same form letters from Sen Thompson (my district) and Sen Singer (was my district). I am shifting to the members of the Senate Law & Public Safety committe--Chaired by Donald Norcross--- and Governor Christie

The media is hyping anything and everything negative about firearms, today and all this week, at least. it's insane, I can just picture the slavering fascists making things up out of the whole cloth in MSM studios and newsrooms.

Well, the parents will be finding out soon about NJ law and securing firearms around children. They apparently did not know about it before this. Having small children, especially boys, that get into everything, I'd like to hear why the rifle was unsecured.

No, am already committed Sundays till mid June, then that one is Father's day usually, so it will probably be the August & October ones for me again. Mayyybeeee an NRA Hp on a Sunday. I didn't make it out there much this winter at all, am gonna hit the pits this week, then probably HP/GP in another two weeks or so during the week, for an hour or two. Will see ya out there sometime!

Why watch when you can participate? BTW, it's the 21st of April, not this weekend--- http://centraljerseyhighpower.com/hp_events/hp_m1_garand.cfm

We cannot negotiate with those who say, 'What's mine is mine, and what's yours is negotiable.'" -- John F. Kennedy, Address to the American People, 25 JUL 1961 "Most people tend to substitute the word 'compromise' for the first 'negotiate' in that quote, and it does tend to fit the current circumstances. Once again the anti-gun people are starting to trot out the tired and hackneyed meme of "compromise" in the "national gun conversation". One of the more highly linked of my posts is the one about the "Gun Rights Cake" analogy, which I will now re-post and expand a bit: I hear a lot about "compromise" from the gun-control camp ... except, it's not compromise. Allow me to illustrate: Let's say I have this cake. It is a very nice cake, with "GUN RIGHTS" written across the top in lovely floral icing. Along you come and say, "Give me that cake." I say, "No, it's my cake." You say, "Let's compromise. Give me half." I respond by asking what I get out of this compromise, and you reply that I get to keep half of my cake. Okay, we compromise. Let us call this compromise The National Firearms Act of 1934. This leaves me with half of my cake and there I am, enjoying my cake when you walk back up and say, "Give me that cake." I say -- again: "No, it's my cake." You say, "Let's compromise." What do I get out of this compromise? Why, I get to keep half of what's left of the cake I already own. So, we compromise -- let us call this one the Gun Control Act of 1968 -- and this time I'm left holding what is now just a quarter of my cake. And I'm sitting in the corner with my quarter piece of cake, and here you come again. You want my cake. Again. This time you take several bites -- we'll call this compromise the Clinton Executive Orders -- and I'm left with about a tenth of what has always been MY DAMN CAKE and you've got nine-tenths of it. Let me restate that: I started out with MY CAKE and you have already 'compromised' me out of ninety percent of MY CAKE ... ... and here you come again. Compromise! ... Lautenberg Act (nibble, nibble). Compromise! ... The HUD/Smith and Wesson agreement (nibble, nibble). Compromise! ... The Brady Law (NOM NOM NOM). Compromise! ... The School Safety and Law Enforcement Improvement Act (sweet tap-dancing Freyja, my finger!) After every one of these "compromises" -- in which I lose rights and you lose NOTHING -- I'm left holding crumbs of what was once a large and satisfying cake, and you're standing there with most of MY CAKE, making anime eyes and whining about being "reasonable", and wondering "why we won't compromise" as you try for the rest of my cake. In 1933 I -- or any other American -- could buy a fully-automatic Thompson sub-machine gun, a 20mm anti-tank gun, or shorten the barrel of any gun I owned to any length I thought fit, silence any gun I owned, and a host of other things. Come your "compromise" in 1934, and suddenly I can't buy a sub-machine gun, a silencer, or a Short-Barreled Firearm without .Gov permission and paying a hefty tax. What the hell did y'all lose in this "compromise"? In 1967 I, or any other American, could buy or sell firearms anywhere we felt like it, in any State we felt like, with no restrictions. We "compromised" in 1968, and suddenly I've got to have a Federal Firearms License to have a business involving firearms, and there's whole bunch of rules limiting what, where and how I buy or sell guns. In 1968, "sporting purpose" -- a term found NOT ANY DAMNED WHERE IN THE CONSTITUTION, TO SAY NOTHING OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT -- suddenly became a legal reason to prevent the importation of guns that had been freely imported in 1967. Tell me, do -- exactly what the hell did you lose in this 1968 "compromise"? The Lautenberg Act was a "compromise" which suddenly deprived Americans of a Constitutional Right for being accused or convicted of a misdemeanor -- a bloody MISDEMEANOR! What did your side lose in this "compromise"? I could go on and on, but the plain and simple truth of the matter is that a genuine "compromise" means that both sides give up something. My side of the discussion has been giving, giving, and giving yet more -- and your side has been taking, taking, and now wants to take more. For you, "compromise" means you'll take half of my cake now, and the other half of my cake next time. Always has been, always will be. I've got news for you: That is not "compromise". I'm done with being reasonable, and I'm done with "compromise". Nothing about gun control in this country has ever been "reasonable" nor a genuine "compromise", and I have flat had enough."

First-What town is this? 2nd--Registered mail for returns. I have been through this many times--'we never received the letters from your reference'. So now I have the returner send it reg mail, recpt requested or whatever the cheapest option for tracking is. And I either do the same for them or pay them for it.

Suicide, I bet

Rt. 46/3/80. That big shopping center (now 2 of them) was a bear to get around. Mostly I went to WP on weekends. I usually went to Squirrelwood Rd via 80 and came down from the north rather than go on 46, it was fewer lanes back then. That diner there is awesome, though. I forget the name, there's a few along that stretch of 46

I remember that area when I was trying to get a job at Kearfott years ago. Lots of baptism & christening parties at various places along McBride Ave, knew more than a few people that lived in Westmount village. I don't miss the crowds and traffic, though

I was living in EP when the name changed in 1973, it was voted on in the Nov 72 election

Very nice! Shiny, new range--does it have that new range smell To my surprise (NOT) there are people trashing the prices on this shiny brand new roomy facility. What-ever you folks open up and run a business---any business--from the ground up (literally) and one (a gun range) in one of most gun unfriendly areas (backyard of ole FX Graves & his replacement) of a gun unfriendly state. Especially at this point in time. Good for you, and good luck with the biz. I am far away, but if I have the chance to visit, I most certainly will. the last of my relatives moved out of West Paterson 3 years ago, but my wife has relatives nearby that area.

Egg-zactly---I would bet that 'I felt threatened by the LEO because of a bad experience the other day with a LEO' excuse wouldn't sit well with LEOs, for an uncooperative stoppee, hm? Remember, cops work for us, not the other way around. Get involved. Know your local cops, at least. Go to PBA fundraisers, chat with the guy getting coffee at Wawa.

Why should i vote for a party that gives up? Plenty of other 3rd party people to vote for. I love how idiots claim that not voting for a bunch of principle challenged dopes is equal to voting for some communist lib or something. Go worship rinos if you like i am going to vote tea party or conservative or write in mister fncking ed if christie wimps out

Frank Pallone? A tool of the NRA? Puh-leeze, he's a dumb Lib Dem

Republicans cave in, again. Why should I vote for that party again? They are WEAK SISSIES! If Christie does not veto anything anti-2A that comes out of the NJ Senate, then I am 10000% done with the Republican Party, in NJ and nationally. End of story.

I am not on Facebook, so I can't comment & set them straight. This ignorance of what it actually takes to buy a firearm legally in NJ is common, and one of the things that Liberal Democrats count on to be able to pass new laws.

Henry, Golden Boy for the bling factor. It is my a-number-1 funnest gun I have.

Bing has Easter Eggs (the painted kind). They are not super-PC like Google, but for all I know in other countries they have nothing Easter related. I am stating to drift back toward Microsoft for consumer computer/desktop & online stuff.

Police Cheeves & wannabee Cheeves, promotion seekers, fascist photo-op furniture, likely useless friends and family appointees to various LE posts (Undersherriff Joe Cryan, ahem). I believe more R&F and the two that I know personally are against new laws.

Say Hi to Joe Cryan for us! I wouldn't be surprised if he has the UCSD watching the place for the rabid 2A supporters from the L&PS committee hearing

they will try to sneak it in somehow, an amendment, perhaps, or some crazily worded version (are there any others?). The break for them is that SH happened right before the new legislative sessions started for Congress and most states. So all these bills in the House/Senate and in state legislatures, are sitting there, either in committee or out of committee,waiting for the 'right time' to be voted on, or tacked onto some other piece of legislation. There will be no peace from the fascists, ever. There may be a lull, IF Republicans have any spine whatsoever, and WE, the GUN OWNERS make your voices heard LOUDLY AND OFTEN, via calls,faxes, letters, emails, etc. NO COMPROMISE, NO SURRENDER, NOT ONE INCH!

Chlling audio, listen at link---if you vote for anyone even remotely associated with these evil people,you need to consider voluntary commitment. If you harbor any faint hope that they really don't mean it, that they will give up, think again. They will not stop, ever. Stand and fight. I Nowbelieve the NRA is 100% right on that strategy. NOT ONE INCH, NO CONCESSIONS! http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-TV/2013/03/28/Biden-Audio-Assault-Weapons-Ban-Just-The-Beginning
