If you people wish to pay 3 bucks a month thats fine with me, I choose not to. Mr Coldsolderjoint , I do not appreciate your "get the fugg out" comment. It violates Macks rules of posting and shows no class. I realize you guys are all buddies and feel the need to protect Macks from meanies like me. I am sorry if I offended anyone, I didn't realize you were such a sensitive bunch.

Don't get your panties in a wad. I'd rather see it as a free site supported by advertisement and the gun shops that we buy from. If two minds agree then one is not necessary

Good Idea. I just hate to part with anything especially knives and guns.

I wonder how these people sleep at night.

I have a CRKT Polkowski/Kasper COmpanion knife #2783. Made in Tawan. I purchased it some years ago and never used it . It has a grey finish with a 1/2 serrated blade. I am thinking of selling it but have no idea of it's value. The only reference I can find is on E-bay someone is asking $129.00 for a similar knife. Anyone have an idea what it is worth ? http://cgi.ebay.com/CRKT-Polkowski-Kasper-Companion-Knife-Fixed-Blade-NIB-/320616693918?pt=Collectible_Knives&hash=item4aa63e809e

I would rather have advertisements than pay to be a Premier Member. The rules portion Is a bit annoying. Perhaps there is an underlying agenda to turn it into a money making business. Which I have no problem with had it been presented as such in the beginning.

Um I recall being told the premier membership was devised so there would not be any advertising from retailers on the site. Now I see there is advertising and participating retailers we can buy through who will contribute a portion to NJGF. So I am confused. Is the premier membership going away now that there are some other sources of income ?

I sometime carry a Cold Steel Laredo Bowie cleverly hidden inside a loaf of Italian bread. Other times a Cold Steel Kanana inside a loaf of French Bread.

I think the police need monitoring too. GPS units in the cruisers to make sure they are where they are suppose to be and not at the donut shop. A camera in the car to monitor their actions - like talking on the cell phone , texting , stopping to chat with friends . If your going to police others you need to police yourself first.

She could not have been too much of a threat if the guy charged her and took the gun away. The guy was probably a bully, they are real good at intimidating old ladies. Too bad she didn't put one between his eyes while he was charging her. Technically guilty , but I would never convict her.

Its all BS! Its like paying a fee for the RIGHT of freedom of speech! Anyway it will never pass , fee or no fee! We have no chance of carrying legally in this sh!thole! You pay for the right to have freedom of political speech right here on NJGF ! $3.00 a month. NJGF is no better then the politicians of NJ.

I would be more in favor of supporting the small Mom and Pop shops if they were paying for this web site so I would not have to pay 3 buck a month to have a political opinion or sell something.

If police were willing to have normal benefits and pensions I suspect there would be a lot less layoffs.

I guess in today's society they have to plan so they are not sued later. If it were my family , i'd rather less planning and more Dudley Do-Right to the rescue.

Hoist by his own Petard !

If it's across the street , just shoot from inside your house.

I am sure people are just waiting to fly into NJ with a weapon in their luggage. Like the guy from Utah Gun laws: The arrest over a weapon for which he had a permit fuels a $3M suit By Glen Warchol The Salt Lake Tribune Salt Lake Tribune BOUNTIFUL - When Gregg Revell packed his bags for a trip to Pennsylvania last April, he had no idea how far he'd be traveling. Before the week was out, the 57-year-old suburban real estate agent and grandfather would be arrested, thrown into one of the country's most notorious jails, strip searched and inoculated against his will. The soft-spoken Utah native would be on his way to becoming a poster child for the National Rifle Association in a $3 million lawsuit. During a nearly five-day stay in a Newark, N.J., jail, he would meet a terrifying side of America that most Utahns see only on television and briefly would become a jailhouse mentor to drug dealers and violent criminals. It started as a trip to pick up a BMW in Allentown, Pa., for a relaxing road trip back to Utah. "I fix them up and sell them," Revell says. "Sometimes I make a profit. It's something I do for fun." Revell, who has a Utah concealed weapon permit, usually takes a handgun with him for protection on his car trips. Transporting a firearm in your luggage across country on an airline is not illegal, but involves some paperwork. Revell who has made a couple dozen such car-buying trips, knows the process. He fills out the Federal Aviation Administration paperwork, packs his .45 caliber pistol in a locked case, his hollow-point ammunition in another locked case and puts both in his checked luggage. He declares the gun to the ticketing agents. "Sometimes I get a look, but it's never been a problem," he says. Unfortunately, for Revell, his Allentown trip required a change of planes in Newark, N.J. His plane was late arriving in Newark Liberty Airport and he missed his connection. Five hours later, he found himself boarding an airline chartered bus for Allentown, 90 miles away. Revell also discovered his luggage had not made the connection. Northwest Airline agents apologized that his bags had been mismarked to stop in Newark. By the time he tracked the bags down, his bus had left and he was stuck overnight in New Jersey. When he returned to the airport the next morning, April Fools' Day, and rechecked his bags -- again declaring his handgun and ammunition -- he was stopped by security officers of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. "I wasn't the least bit nervous," Revell says. "I was only nervous about missing another flight." Despite his explanations, Utah concealed weapon permit and his FAA document, Revell missed the flight because he was arrested and handcuffed: "I have never been arrested before. I have never felt anything degrading like that in my life." "You don't have a permit to carry a gun in New Jersey," a Port Authority officer told him, according to Revell. "And you don't have a permit to carry hollow-point ammunition." "I asked an officer if this had something to do with April Fool's Day," Revell remembers. "He said it most certainly did not." In 1986, Congress passed the Firearm Owners Protection Act (FOPA) for citizens who are transporting firearms through various jurisdictions. "Law abiding citizens who happened to wander into anti-gun jurisdictions could wind up being harassed and imprisoned," says Scott Bach, a New York-based attorney and member of the NRA board of directors. "FOPA was passed to end abuses." Under the law, a citizen can transport an unloaded gun between two jurisdictions that don't prohibit it -- as long as it is locked in a hard case with the ammunition locked in a separate hard case, "regardless of what local law says," explains Bach. The law is routinely violated in "anti-gun" jurisdictions, Bach says, notably New York, Los Angeles and New Jersey. Revell soon found himself in Newark's Essex County Jail. "It is the lowest, it is the worst and it has the most hardened criminals of any correctional facility in the nation," says Bach. "It is horrific." Revell, who would spend nearly four days in the jail, agrees. "The jailers asked me, 'What the heck did you do to be in here?' They felt bad for me. But there was nothing they could do." A judge set his bail at $15,000 and required the amount be paid in cash, not through the usual bail-bond arrangement. "It's tough to come up with $15,000 on a weekend," Revell says. While his family back in Utah got the money together, he spent nearly five days in jail, sometimes in holding cells crowded with 28 other prisoners. "People were passed out on the floor in their own vomit," he says. Prisoners were strip-searched in an a public room. "For the only person with a white butt in a jail with 1,000 people, it was not a good situation," he says. "I could have given some people some ideas." Revell figured that for survival, "I'd better make friends as fast as I could." He listened to the hard luck stories of his cell mates. "I would give them encouragement because a lot of them weren't very happy to be there. Because I was older than everybody, I was known as 'Pop.'" Everyone knew he was in on a gun charge, and some prisoners assumed it was for a violent crime. "They all talked jive. It was hard for me to understand," Revell says. Until one of them asked him, "How many people did you waste?" After a heart-to-heart with the prisoner, the man asked Revell if he would get him guns. "He would give me a great price." Several prisoners befriended Revell despite the suburbanite's many faux pas, such as asking about their tattoos. "There are some tattoos you just don't ask about," he says. "But some people would stand up for me if there was a problem." His jail savvy friends told him they were in a tuberculosis quarantine for a few days, but after testing would join the rest of the jail. "We can't protect you when we get in with the general population," his friends warned Revell. "That scared me." Hours before being transferred into the general prison population, a bail bonds employee finally showed up with the bail money. Ultimately, the bail was lowered, but by the time he had met the bail bond company's requirement that he pay in advance for a bounty hunter to track him back to Utah if necessary, Revell was out $20,000. He was also 10 pounds lighter and had a blister on his arm from a tuberculosis inoculation. But he was free. "I took the best shower of my life." Within two months, prosecutors dismissed the charges against him. New York and New Jersey Port Authority officials did not respond to requests for an interview. But the Utahn's story had come to the NRA's attention. The NRA is funding the $3 million lawsuit filed in January in federal court in New Jersey against the Port Authority. Revell and the Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs are co-defendants. Though he had grown up in a hunting family and had a concealed weapon permit, Revell had never been a guns-rights activist or even a member of the NRA. "I am now," he says. "As is my wife." The $3 million damage figure was set to make sure the case gets the attention of airports across the country, says Bach, who is president of the New Jersey gun clubs association. "Unfortunately, that's the way things work," Revell says. "We want to get the laws adhered to or get new laws made if we need to do that. If I should win, a fair amount of the settlement will go to the NRA as a donation." Revell never got his .45 back; Essex County never responded to his lawyers' requests. But he did drive the BMW home from Allentown despite his traumatic experience. "My family offered to fly me home," Revell says. "But I told them I needed a few days to clear my head. It was good to have a little thinking time."

Perhaps I can cash in on this trend. I will design and market pistol grips in the shape of a penis and call them "Pistol Pricks" and all the free thinkers out there can put them on their pistols. Except Glocks , I'll have to come up with a special Glock accessory and call them "Glock Gonads"

A lot of jobs are dangerous ,heck walking out the front door of your home can be dangerous. No one forces anyone to be a police officer. Their pay and pension should be in line with the private sector. Plus I think they should wear pink uniforms instead of blue.

I pulled up to a stoplight behind a Red Chevy Trailblazer this morning. It's back window was adorned with various hunting and fishing stickers and the NRA logo sticker. Hanging from the trailer hitch was a set of large chrome plated testicles. YOu could not help but notice. What sort of person thinks thats OK when it's plainly visible for people of all ages both male and female. My wife thought it was in poor taste and I had my 3 year old daughter in the car ann am not quite ready to explain the birds and bees to her yet. I am of the opinion it does not portray NRA members, hunters or fishermen in a positive light. So which one of you was it ?

I realize the premix fuel is expensive , I have no intention of using it on a regular basis. It has a 5 year shelf life once opened. The fuel stabalizer additives I saw in the store are only good for a couple of months. I figure one can in the garage for emergency's was worth it. As far as Husqvarna is concerned from what I read the lower end ones are rebaged slightly upgraded Poulans (got that from an Arborist site) The Sears professional chainsaw I purchased is a REDMAX which is owned by Husqvarna. Apparently they bought over the rights or company or whatever to be able to produce their Stato-charged engine (whatever that means). Again I read this on an Arborist site. It seems like a decent chainsaw for $200.00.

I got to say the electric chainsaw was pretty nice. As long as your not cutting more then 100 feet from the house. I bought one from sears which is made by Poulan(owned by Husqvarna). It's rated at 4 horsepower and seems plenty powerful for my needs. You do not have to store gas or oil. So depending on your dad's needs that might be a way to go. If you go gas Sears sells cans of pre mixed gas and oil. It's 90 octane ethanol free gas mixed with synthetic oil and has stabilizers added. The label says once you open the can it has a 5 year shelf life. It was $4.99 for 32 ounces but is good to have for emergencies. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_07134118000P?prdNo=4&blockNo=4&blockType=G4

I purchased this one from sears. It is made in Japan not China , and I believe it is also sold under the Redmax brand name model number GZ4000 . I read somewhere it is a Zenoah/Komatsu chainsaw. I know nothing about chainsaws but this one seemed to be a good deal. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_07136218000P

I purchased an electric chainsaw after using one a few weeks ago. Thinking it would be handy for fall cleanup around the yard. Now I purchased a gas one thinking it might be useful if the power went out. I think I am developing an addiction. Anyone else have a chainsaw addiction disorder ?

Unless it's a Harley cause they are so slow. Dude why the Harley hate. Sorry , I don't hate Harleys. I bought a new Sportster in 80 or 81 . Honda 360's were faster, there were lots of 2 stroke 250's still around that were way faster. Of course I looked cooler in their rear view mirrors and I was informed by my "Harley Bretheren" that a sporster is only a 1/2 a Harley.
