shooting both .357 and .38 special in range session
I have shot both at the same time, sometimes in the same cylinder load Yeah, the soot ring & the lead (from .38) are frigging annoying, more so the lead for me. I usually have a rag with me and wipe down inside the cylinders and attempt to keep the forcing cone & front of the cylinder clean as I can. I did just get a 4 pak of nylon bore brushes in that size, so will throw one in my bag for BA on 1/11/11

CJRP condition
I drive by there twice a day, the road is plowed, as well as any dirt road. No deep snow, I am sure a 2wd vehicle can make it, if careful. I didn't go inside so I dunno if the pits are plowed.

Christie Won't Fight for Gun Rights
He will not, I have been saying this all along as well, I saw the article today at PJM also at lunch. There is nothing in it for him to go out of his way to change laws for our (gun owners) benefit. If a repeal of the NJ AWB landed on his desk, on top of the empty pizza boxes and donut wrappers, it would end up a coaster for a 2L bottle of Dr.Pepper. He will most certainly not have much of a chance of being president or even VP, with his flabby gun rights record. I believe he is setting his sights on FBI Director or US AG or DHS honcho.

Harborsite Usana
Sounds more like the neighbours complaining and maybe some zoning & building issues not resolved. Ya gotta grease the local pols, y'know. Also likely they are seeing the writing on the wall, that in these times of lean LE budgets, and drying up of GWOT funds, there will be less opportunity in the training services area. So best to cut the losses, and rather than engage in a long costly fight with the locals for whatever reason, just to not have many paying customers (not talking about Joe shooter, its the training stuff that brings in the $$)

Preventing the next Brian Aitken. How should the possession laws be changed?
I would fall over and die if the slugs that inhabit the NJ legislature and the current AG (especially) actually collaborated to invert 2Cwhatever to allow unrestricted possession of firearms and THEN put restrictions on same (carry licencing,SBR/SBS, Class 3, AWB, what have you), like America does. NJ simply does not have an ingrained gun culture, as many have pointed out on other subjects here. Quite the opposite, NJ has an ingrained anti-firearms culture. Whatever may happen it should be in 2011, in 2012 the big national election will bring the antis out of the wood work again, plus I don't think the Republicans in NJ statehouse or Gov. AWB supporter Christie have the backbone or desire to do anything about it, without severe prodding. They will screw up something else (taxes, pensions, the stupid horesracing vs. gambling in AC foofraw, whatever else they touch) and then have no political capital to spend on something like gun law reform in NJ.

Firearm discharging in Milltown
Milltown has been taken over by Rutgers Liberals, and they realized OMG we forgot to oppress people we dont agree with!

so no one noticed? Brian Aitken a free man...
Well, that's good, about the best that could be expected. He will have his work cut out for him trying to get that conviction overturned, especially, if as has been posted on the intertubes, he had 16 rd vice 15 rd mags. At least he is home. Mom had better make him a nice dinner, after all that!

CMP or Garrand Guy
CMP all the way, I am sure the Garand Guy is a viable alternative, but eventually the CMP will run out of rifles. Get them whilst we can

Bob Ingle Column in APP today
If you get the Sunday APP, in the Issues section, Bob Ingle, one of the more balanced newspaper writers I read, has a column about Brian Aitken's story. I assume this was known before the rally cancellation, so between this, Drudge/Fox/Instapundit among others, there is media exposure. It'd be a bad day to be outside today, anyways

S 2190
Lots of questions.....what if I want to buy handguns, but don't care about carry? Would I still have to go thru whatever extra hoops there will be for the HPP? Or does it default back to the 'old' P2P? Among others, like overhead for two systems on the PDs and NJSP, reciprocity, training requirements if its to be a carry permit (I don't see an unrestricted carry permit in NJs future, probably more along the lines of Texas or SC at a minimum, with mandatory training & range time. What if this tries to introduce an 'approved handguns' list, like MA and CA? I don't trust him, he's an NJ pol-

NJ2AS FREE BRIAN AITKEN RALLY CANCELED
+1 on this, an appeal for clemency only makes sense right now, because Christie can say he threw a crumb off his table groaning with donuts to the 'gun crowd' at a time when it will cost him little politically. After the New Year and the Redumblicans get their turn to start screwing up again, you will see Tubby tack to the left faster than a Princeton Grad student trying to get into some hippie chick's pants...

Bill S2190: Adjustments to NJ FID Card
More smoke & mirrors that will go nowhere, courtesy of our elected dopes. Likely doing this to attempt to get some cred before redistricting, methinks---if the census also affects NJ state legislative gerrymandering

NJ2AS FREE BRIAN AITKEN RALLY CANCELED
Hm. Well, that's interesting. The story did get some legs around the Intertubes, this time. Maybe there is some backlash we don't know about. Or there is a deal in works to reduce/commute the sentence. I haven't read the case, so I don't know both sides of it, I have no strong opinion. I hope there is something working in the state for him, he certainly can't expect future help if he ends up staying where he's at.

CJRPC Hi Power 2011 Schedule out
Got the mail from John D, the high power clinic is 15 May, and there are monthly NRA matches and bimonthly JCG matches set for next year. I think I will make a point to attend the NJ High Power championship this year, they had some great prizes there from what I heard, and some were random drawing type stuff--

Police lay offs
Cycles. Gov't employment goodness/badness always lags behind private sector, in good & bad times. Tax collections & budgeting cause a year or two lag or more from when the economy tanks and private sector folks are unemployed in droves, to when the lack of revenue catches up and public sector has to take a hit. The 91-94 recession was not as bad as this one, so there was less pain felt in the public sector and the minor correction of 01-02 (internet bubble) didn't affect them at all. The last time I recall this much serious talk and real action at keeping a lid on spending was in the mid-late 70s. Eventually boom times returned and tax money rolled in and public employment went back up again, as seen in the mid-80s and 95-now. It is unfortunate that many cops that are lower paid are losing their jobs, but seniority has always ruled. The world will not end, and crime will not get out of control. It sucks for them, and its always better to have more cops on the job in places like Camden, but there's so many people out of work long term in this state. And of course the stellar leadership and administration of the geniuses that run the NJ cities and state. I hope the cops let go are rehired and cuts can be made via attrition, it increases workload, but a lotta folks have had to put up with lower staffing at their jobs and having to do more work to stay employed--

Purchases at Brick Armory
I only bought one gun from them that I ordered and had that in about 2 weeks, as promised. Did a deposit and full payment on receipt, all on CC. Maybe I was one of the lucky ones, I dunno. I haven't been getting there much since joining CJRPC, I try to make it on nights Dan is usually there, the range is nice and useful for rough sighting in rifles, in the winter, as its too dark by the time I get outta work. If I could sometimes take the SKS or M1 to SS, then I might consider switching.
