Anyone here an armored truck driver?
no SORA certificate required? I only have a limited amount of experiance with being an EMT/security guard (quit that job right when they started requiring SORA). I then worked at a place that fixed cash counting equipment and bill validators. A few times, I had to work in an Armored Truck depot in Elizabeth to fix equipment that was still full of money, and that place was the most dirty, disgusting place you could ever think of. There was literally a fog of dirt and dust in the air.

pinewood derby
My cars are all over the place, the first one had an automotive quality finish on it thanks to my dad. I think he spent days polishing it. One of them had a lego jet engine glued to the top of it, I think that one won a trophy. I had one that sorta looked like a vette and The one that I did myself cuz dad was working alot of hours came out like crap looking at it now.. but I think he was proud of me for getting it together by myself

Buyers remorse? Possible oppurtunity for someone..
Isn't there the section where you can't buy a rifle with the intent to resell it (for profit usually- unlicensed dealer?)... But that's not the case here, you legitimately don't like the rifle and want something different. I once sold a shotgun the day after I bought it. I realized it wasn't what I thought it was, and I sold it to the next guy in line that wanted it. FPID and COE of course.

Best Place for Vegas Machine Gun Rental
Going next week for my sister's Wedding. They were interested in shooting some full auto stuff. I've been to thegunstore and was ok, but pretty damn expensive. I see that Discount Firearms looks a bit cheaper and has a free shuttle. Any other places?

Bug Out Bag - Tools
It happened in Keansburg, we joined the crowds of people walking around looking for something to do/something that was open.. and at least 5 or 6 people asked us where they could get smokes.. If only I had a pallet of them... I guess this storm wasn't really SHTF in terms of civil unrest or whatever.. but the liquor stores where the first ones open.. had people in them with flashlights.. or just a few lights strung up and powered by a small portable generator

Need a Good Flashlight
If you still have em.. send them back, they will fix or replace them for free.. I've done it a few times over the years. One or two, they rebuilt for free. I had some batteries explode/expand in one, and i was expecting a not-worth it process with duracell.. and mag took care of it.. and just sent me a brand new flashlight! The old style lights are old technology but they are quality built and they stand behind their products. Also easy to "over-clock" so to speak!

Need a Good Flashlight
I have a sweet spot in my heart for mag-lites, but the old style ones cant compare in terms of lighting technology. The new LED mags are pretty good, and really durable. I bought an XL50 from Lowes and am loving it. Its pretty small, and really bright. Has 3 AAA's. I use it for finding addresses when delivering pizza. I like the CR123 Game too.. but it sucks when you run out and have to pay a million dollars for a pair. http://www.maglite.com/maglite_xl50_led.asp

Toys For Tots
I just got a call back from the Gunnery Sargent in Charge of the USMC Toys for Tots program in Red Bank. He said they are trying to get toy donations in early November this year as they are wrapping up the program a little early since Christmas is on a Tuesday. I asked him if they where looking for specific toys and he gave me this list: Barbies (Can get single dolls for $5 or $6) Matchbox/Hot wheels Batman Action figures Transformers Action figures Sports items such as Baseball Gloves (~$10 to $14), Basketballs (~$10), etc He said to try to avoid games. He also said he would not go over $14 ish dollars per item. He also said if you go to a Toys R US and speak with the manager, they will give 10% off if shopping for Toys for Tots. I am getting a sizable bonus at the end of the month and was planning on spending most of it on Black Friday for Toys for Tots. But since I talked to the Gunnery Sargent, I will probably be shopping in 2 or 3 weekends, then I will be dropping off the Toys to him at the Reserve Center in Red Bank. I put up this post to see if anyone was interested in joining me and making a collective effort. I'm in Central New Jersey (Keansburg), but the store to shop at can be determined based on who wants to go. I donated about $250 worth of toys last year, but just dropped them off with the Marines in the Mall. I figured this year as I am buying more, I'd contact them and make it more organized. Its a great feeling to help children.. but more important is that you get to play with toys for an hour or two and your wife can't tell you not too!!! Edit: Disclaimer: Since this is a gun site, I found this on the Toys for Tots Website: Q: Are there toys/gifts that are not accepted/distributed? Toys for Tots prefers not to accept realistic looking weapons and gifts with food. If donated, such items will NOT be distributed.

DHS now has a standing army?
sounds like multiple articles rolled into one persons (probably false) opinion. The armored trucks say DHS.. not FEMA on them. If I'm not mistaken, the CBP vehicles also say DHS on them. Sure parts of a FEMA response could include police and military for the right reasons.. but the goal is not to kill and enslave the American public. In all the FEMA training I've taken, it's all pretty benign stuff. Disaster preparedness, shelter ops, first aid, safety, preparing for natural disasters, some terrorism stuff, etc etc.. but the stuff that these kids are learning, from the info in this "article" .. is probably stuff that boy scouts learn.

Wedding/Reception Suggestions
Bridgewater Manor has some of the best food I've ever tasted. Palms Plazza has pretty good food and throws a great party.. but its not really your typical catering place, its in a strip mall. Need a lot more info on what you guys want and are willing to compromise on. From what we've found the initial cost per head isn't too bad.. but the extras and add-ons on top of the food kill you. "We've" been in various states of planning for over 2 years now.. from going to see every place imaginable.. to holding off for more cash.. to planning a wedding we put together on our own.. etc etc etc... Prepare for stress! To the point of just calling the whole damn thing off multiple times.. #1 thing i would say would be come up with your budget together and stick to it. BEFORE they start selling her the princess dream at these places.. and then you are the bad guy with the calculator shaking your head. So.. we finally decided on a Carnival Cruise Wedding. Our important family will be there.. and who ever wants to come on the cruise can enjoy 8 days of partying. Whoever doesn't.. can get off before the cruise departs and can wish us bon voyage. Its a very short ceremony, but its cheap. I have over 100 people in my family, most of whom i only see at Christmas and/or the two or three birthday parties a year for the small children or whatever. Sure, they are family.. but not being in your daily life requires you to spend $150+ to feed and booze them up?? That's up to you and your girl to decide. There is a kick ass deli in Middletown who does catering really affordable.. we are thinking after the cruise.. just let them put out a spread.. get a couple 30 packs, some cheap trader joe's wine.. and then the family can come and have a meal on us.. no need to pay for the whole production for that many people in our eyes.. We are looking back on it now.. and we shoulda just got married in vegas 2 years ago after i proposed in the grand canyon.. we where driving around.. and where like.. "we should just do it".. and then we decided not to because of all the family that we are NOW not inviting! haha

I got nicked at the OB Static Steel shoot. Minor...minor.
when i used to shoot at the indoor matches.. a few of the older folks told me to try to remember to stand square to the firing line when someone is shooting. In case there is a fragment come back at you.. you wouldn't want it to hit you with the one in a million shot that might end up inside your glasss.. Ie, if you had you back to the shooter's back.. the fragment has a very very tiny possibility of getting between your face and the wrap around part of your glasses.. then it can travel right around to your eye
