http://www.thelakewoodscoop.com/news/2011/08/exclusive-frum-homeowner-holds-would-be-burglar-at-gunpoint-featured-story.html Some commenters are questioning this story, but it's plausible, I suppose. It seems a bit over the top, see how it comes out--

Cars & Cars 2 If you have small kids or grandkids, especially boys 2-10 y'know what I mean---

I'll agree, it will be tough for all but the top candidates to get jobs in LE, for the near future, at least in NJ. You point out the cyclic boom & bust of that industry, say since the early 90s crack/War on drugs-->recession-->Clinton 100K cops-->photo ops with Chiefs & union honchos for eager pols who spread the wealth-->expansion in late 90s as economy booming-->9/11 & GWOT $$ --->expansion of Fed LEOs & setup of DHS--->Katrina-->1st wave of retirements-->pension fund robbery by same photo op pols-->recession slashing tax revenue-->2nd wave of retirements-->pay cuts/givebacks/layoffs--->response times go up-->people complain-->money appears with smiling pols being 'tough on crime'--->expansion-->rinse & repeat There's other factors too,an aging population in the US is one that never seems to get a lot of attention as a factor. Old people don't do (much) crime, and they vote and want to keep taxes down. And want money spent for their needs, like medicare, etc. Given a more limited pot of tax moolah in the forseeable future, the oldsters will vote young whippersnapper cops out of work and all you overpaid,underworked teachers (I keed) as well, to keep Medicare & subsidized pharma. This is happening where I live in Jackson and a lesser extent in Lakewood. I still think this will all improve quite a bit whenever the economy picks up, and tax revenue increases because of that. But who knows when that'll be.

I am gonna get to CJ this Sun for the match. There's one left in October after this. I gotta get to break 400 one of these days I will be there early, by about 0730 or so, anyone watting to link up, lemme know & I will have them put us next to each other. Info at Link--My link

2 year olds are quite happy doing things with their parents at home or at a playground. They won't remember going to Batsto for that it will be because you were with them. Keeping with the park theme, you can go to Allaire SP, or go apple or other fruit picking. And the good old boardwalk in Wildwood/Seaside. My kids love the crane machines. Or the local playground. My 6,3 & 2 year olds are thrilled with that. You can do a pool in your backyard or go to somene elses. That gets them tired out quick. Best yet, have more kids, they will love playing (and fighting) together!

Out in Utah, for those tat may be going that way. More like long range shooting course, it seems http://volokh.com/2011/08/05/rifle-golf-americas-newest-shooting-sport/

IIRC, there was a lot of munitions material production on the Raritan River/Bay even into the 80's. I remember hearing about the Hercules plant explosion, there were several and the locals & state got tired of it, and prsssured them to close

I like the shrubs & pretty flowers at CJ

I am somewhat hopeful that the people that dreamed this up and implemented it will get convicted of some crime, but who knows. The run of the mill lifer bureaucrats would never have made waves like this, its all political appointees' doing. It's also a very illustrative example of how a Big Government Conspiracy (9/11 Truthers, JFK assassination, space aliens, etc.) comes apart---too many people know or are involved in some way, and many can see that they will be the ones left holding the bag, as the top guys/girls get all the credit/glory and the dupes do the time. I chalk it up to naked ambition along with the bumbling ineptitude that is the hallmark of the Obama Administration thus far. At the very least, it will stifle any big gun control efforts for some time, IMHO--

Living in a camper by the shotgun fields?

Fatso will only 'convert' after his time as gov is over, and only IF he has national office ambitions. I don't think he will do that though, I still see him wanting to be FBI director or USAG, rather than prez/vp/senator. For those positions being anti-gun is a plus, to get thru confirmation. At least it will get that tub of lard out of NJ.

Bah, have fun,I will be at work. I was gonna try to get thereafter work, but it looks like 12 hr days for awhile, so no go. Happy boitday, too!

M1 Carbine

He is a fat tub of LARD, typical NJ politician!

The pictured one in the ad is an M59/66, may be an A1. The Grenade launcher has been removed, note the collar is still there and the gas shutoff valve. I have a Yugo with GL,, I may remove it one day, but have got used to it. As Chris says, the Yugos are built quite heavily, they will probably outlast most of us on this forum

I'd be innerested....

Hm, I think its wishful thinking by the anti-freedom freakos. After today's unemployment numbers, the F&F scandal blowing up, and the likelyhood (AHEM, NRA??) of a legal challenge to any gun control via Exec order, the only way this might happen IMHO is as Obama is going out in flames and seeks to do as much damage on his way out............oh phooop, that's happening now isn't it.

Fergot about the Zoning board, there is code to comply with if you have that more dangerous than a backyard range accessory--a swimming pool--that requires fencing & whatnot.. What it may be for a range is unknown. If the kids are already on yer property, you may want to consider some sort of fencing along your boundaries. With signs of some sort.

851 puts you North of 195, and closer to 537, with Hardwood Dr (McMansions) in back of you. That's an odd shaped property, a long dogleg to the SE, with a skinny frontage on WDB. You may want to measure or have surveyed where you want to put the backstop, so you aren't coming within 450ft of Vinny's backyard Quadders are always behind my house, which is a utility ROW (big electric towers). I don't mind, personally, so long as its not early in the AM, there's only one obnoxious fat slob with an aftermarket can on his quad that I wish would hit a log or get nabbed by the coppers

You didn't say where on WDB you were, N or S of 195? Obviously the bigger the backstop the better. How's the neighbours (or not?). Are they locals or transplanted N Jerseyites/NY-ers who will be calling in to JPD every time you do shoot?

Most places in dem controlled areas are overcopped. Pds are another graft opportunity as are public schools

They are frick and frack, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, dumb and dumber. We are the saps left holding the bag.

I was at CJRPC Mon nite and had the GP range all to myself and also the HP range, if I so desired
