wow.. yeah.. thats pretty cool with the 02 wrench.. you never have one when you need it, its either have the plastic one on your keys and have it stuck in your belt or bring a leatherman/gerber just in case only thing that concerns me is that its a high quality high expense knife.. easy to take a walk should you happen the put it down on a hetic call.. i learned my lesson the hard way with expensive flashlights..

WTB- Lead shot. Doesn't really matter what size. Looking for like 20 to 30 pounds. Cheaper is better. Not going to load it, looking to drain sand out of cheap kettle bell and refill with lead shot. I know some guys use re-claimed shot which isn't round anymore and that's fine for me too.. I'm at 117 on the parkway and work in piscataway.. plz let me know what you have.

Yeah.. I see where your coming from.. $200 over list is high.. but yeah.. vote with your wallet.. check out the guys here on the forum.. I can personally attest that Paul PK90 and Tony (TJ Sporting Arms) are the best your gunna get around here.

There is a lot of overhead on running a brick and mortar store, and very little profit margin on new guns. Plus, the major gun store see a lot of idiots run through there, so sometimes they just get tired of it. Would you go into kmart and try to negotiate a deal? If you think the price is high, you can ask for a deal, but don't be offended by the answer if you don't like it. Don't take it personally. Just shop around, be a smart consumer.

Thanks

That sounds like the opening narration of a porno.. sorry.. I had too..

Thats me in the dark blue shirt Cherrie's Cafe Burger

ive been there two times.. probably our favorite island in the caribean soo far.. if you have a few hours take a taxi to maho beach and chill out under airplanes on final approach (princess juliana airport) youtube it.. lol.. Last time i was there, they put a double fence so you can't hang on to the fence anymore.. but you can still stand on the beach and be blown into the water by jet blast. Its great when you can wave to the pilots and they wave back thinking "wow.. these guys are idiots" Theres two bars on either side of maho beach. One is Sunset beach bar where you can buy tshirts and stuff and the other is an old boat. lol When we where there, that area had very little lighting at night though and gets pretty local.. so id probably shy more towards the tourist areas after dark. If you do end up in the maho beach area.. basically across the street from the sonesta is an open air bar called Cheries Cafe. that has some really good giant hamburgers.. Liz and I made a promise that the first time we ever get back to St Martin, were stopping there for a beer and a burger before we even check into the hotel. Theres a french restaurant in that area too, right next to the sonesta.. We did not have a great experience there. I think we got a better vibe from the dutch side rather than the french. Orient Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches you can go to.. I'll agree with checker50 there. It is a clothing optional beach too.. idk if you have kids or not.. but you might see some stuff you dont wanna. The naked locals seem to come out early in the day and are mostly done by the time the cruise shippers arrive. The full naked club is on the south end of the beach, and pretty much the entire rest of the beach is vacationers. The taxi drivers all have their friends/favorite places to bring tourists, and its usually pretty affordable.. around $20 a day for two chairs, an umbrella, and some even through in a drink or two.. there are a lot of little shack type restaurant/bars who even have waiters right on the beach so you can just sit there and have someone else bring you drinks.. lol WAAAAAYYYY different than the Jersey Shore.. You didnt mention if you where going to be in an all inclusive resort or just daying it. Last time we where there, there was a local guy feeding the fish and he gave us some old bread.. the fish will come right up to you and eat the bread out of your hand. Just make sure you get a taxi driver with an Orange Shirt.. they are the legit ones, and have the special license plates, and they can actually be pretty damn good tour guides.. and will actually come back for you on an agreed upon time. There are some unlicensed taxis rolling around down there, but they are pretty easy to spot. I didn't do an extensive search, but I've only found one crepe place and that was a tourist trap at the cruise port. They use American Dollars, and I couldn't find a euro as a silvenour on the island. Gas and Milk are very expensive. Liqiuor and Cigerettes are cheap. Lots of Gambling can be done in the casinos. There is a really large Market/Flea market type thing in the center of the dutch side if your wife is into that. Just remember.. everything is negotiable. Lol.. You can rent a jeep or small car for a pretty reasonable price.. but In my opinion.. some of that traffic can get crazy and fast, there's weird road signs and your driving on the wrong side of the road, so I'd probably opt to just pay the little extra for the taxis. Its worth the money and I've never met an unfriendly taxi driver there. And like I said, they are a great source of local knowledge and even impromptu tour guides. There are tours with ATVs, Jetskis, Little two man boats, parasailing, all the normal tourist stuff if your into that. You didn't mention how you where arriving.. but if it's by air, there was a pretty awesome duty free shop in the airport. I assume its still there. The only concern there is that if you do not have a direct flight, you will have to go through customs upon arriving back in the US, and will have to re-check in to your domestic flight and rescreen through security.. and then the liquior becomes an issue because its over the limit for liquids.. I know it goes without saying.. but being this is a gun forum.. make sure you dont have any guns or extra bullets on you.. or like if your re-using a bag you might have been to the range with double check it really well.. I heard you can get like 10 years for a single round. The entire time I was there, I saw one woman in the air port who I believe was military with what I thought was a glock 17 on her belt. and it was just one glock, no extra mags, no baton, no hand cuffs anything like that. lol.. But man.. your gunna have a great time.. I wish I was going.

Thanks Steve

or.. try having about a month and a half of paychecks in cash and trying to pay down payment with that.. jeez.. they will make you get a loan to make sure you didn't get a loan for the cash...

seems like theres a bit more to the story than simply being blind there bud

When I worked at the steel mill, the prosecutor's office would come in every so often and melt guns in the arc furnace.

Do alot of research online.. we basically where pro-active and sent lists of houses we wanted to see to our realtor.. and she set up the appointments.. we eliminated tons of houses just by driving by.. didnt even need to see the inside.. take a spin past the house the realtor is going to show you before you actually go... if nobody is living there, and there is a for-sale sign out front.. we walked the yards by ourselfs.. (don't really know the legalities of this.. but i figure if anyone ever called the cops on us.. it'd just be "hey.. we saw the for sale sign.. we where gunna tell our realtor to take us back if we liked it) talk to the neighbors or the old guy who is outside messing with something... (you'll find out ALOT :-D) we did lots of very slow roll-by's to look suspicious.. then asked the people who noticed about the houses we where interested in.. , go to the pizzeria and have a slice.. get the feel of the neighborhood.. do this (if you can) before you go with the realtor cuz there is going to be pressure there.. then go by again at night.. then go by again on a different day (day/weekend/etc) before making the offer. Plus what everyone else said.. the house inspector is good.. but he's gunna miss stuff.. and theres almost positively going to be stuff that is hidden.. he's not mike holmes.. lol.. I'd say the number 1 thing is make sure you can afford the house.. not just make the payments.. but like really afford it.. plus when your new.. everything costs lots of money.. especially just stuff you need.. like tools, lawnmower.. new furniture, curtains.. all that stupid shit that just adds up edit: look up the tax info yourself online.. the listings are usually wrong or have data that is years too old

i had one of those.. pretty sweet gun for taking to the range and messing around.. lots of nostolgia.

I dont recall ever being asked by a dealer to do it.

wait for a person who is more versed on the law. but iirc, if you are specifically named in the will and the pistol is to be transfered to you on paper (the will), then you can simply take possesion of it provided you are not a prohibited person and of course if the gun is not banned in nj (unlikely with a revolver).

My family has had great experiences with A1 Auto body in Sayerville

Well then to be fair, for discussion, we have to separate Commercial Flights vs General Aviation. Then I would say there should be other stats for Commercial between the Turbo Props and Small Jets vs the large body aircraft. (I'm sure someone has made those stats)

First Off, may these people rest in piece.. Second.. I haven't been up on the statistics.. but I'm still sure that it's far more likely that you will die in a traffic accident on the way to work than in a plane crash.

Pick your 1 allowed evil feature. Although, without a pistol grip, shooting an AR-Pattern rifle gets funky.

Interesting, the ones in Holmdel and Old Bridge, both on 35 where talking to EVERY car..

They usually happen late at night in the dark and spend no more than 30 seconds on each car? how did they know he had no parking break? Did he get stopped at a MVC inspection checkpoint? And even then, nowadays, aren't they just looking for emissions? AFAIK, Tint is a secondary Violation, you have to be stopped for a first one first. I got a tint ticket from Keyport a few years ago, and it was only after they pulled me over for "no front plate" because I was a ricer and had it on the dashboard.

you could get a pen that has the last ditch blade in it.. just case the computer starts shooting at your or you spill your lunch on the keyboard or something

Ok, I'm going to put my flame suit on here, but its also about a societal breakdown to a certain level. People aren't responsible anymore, and wont stop others from driving for the most part. Now I'd venture to say almost all of us in this group are responsible individuals and that's why we are bothered by these stops. But for the other 80% of the world that is driving around drunk and killing each other.. I was stopped for the 30 second check in Holmdel a few months ago probably, and while I was there, there where 3 or 4 other cars with the drivers being removed, and although I was only there long enough to see the first one, the chick was obviously too retarted to buy a twinkee from the 7-11 let alone drive a car. It pisses me off more when I almost get hit by a drunk and can't do anything about it then being stopped for 30 seconds because i don't drive when im too retarted to remember my name.especially when the results seem to work. I understand it about being a slippery slope, and for the most part, I agree with the constitutional rights guys. But the question is then.. where is the healthy balance? Shall we place a cop on every corner of every road in every town in every state? Talk about property taxes then.. Shall we just relax the prosecution rates back to like it was in the 60's.. where everyone was driving around drunk and not using seat belts, and running over babies, etc... wasnt that a major part of the reason why the national highway transportation act, and seat belts and all that jazz started? and then the fatality rates dropped?

Well, I have mixed feelings on this issue. I do think its encroaching on everyone's rights, but I frequently drive home late at night and its always been a 30 second, "Hi, we are (insert town name) PD. Where you coming from tonight?" and if you don't give them a response that is retarded, they give you a card about how bad DUI is from the prosecutor and you are on your way. I've never been asked for my party papers. But, being hit/killed by a drunk driver isn't a good situation for anyone, and these checkpoints are very effective. I know the one by my mothers house used to average 10 DUI's a night in only a few hours. I've been in situations where I was trailing a drunk for long periods of time, and lets be honest, unless you happen to get lucky and a cop is sitting there, calling 911 whilst traveling through several towns isn't going to be very effective. "OK, I'm headed north on 35 in Old bridge, ok, no now im in sayerville..." "sayerville?" "yeah.. now im in south amboy".. Aside from crashing into him with your own car and beating the piss out of him, what else are you going to do? Now those damn mobile inspection stations for MVC, those I have a bigger problem with.
