You can't use 22LR to hunt anything but a Woodchuck, and not on public land. In NJ, that is.

Sheesh, what an f'ed up report. Was it her boyfriend or husband? It seems so simple to me to write a decent news story. WTF happened with this one?

Thats kinda my point. CCW is point A to point B until worst case, just like driving. You will spend more time carrying than in a worst case scenario. This is IMHO, the part the antis want covered anyway, In the context of what a state ccw class might look like, i would want the point A to point B covered. The "defensive driving" part is up to you.

Way back when I was working with the Motorcycle safety Foundation, they were vexed by the fact that with State available training (in NY) that trained you to ride safe and get you a reduction of your insurance, people sometimes could not bother - and this is training to keep yourself alive. Some took the self training route, some were taught by family and friends but the most disturbing was that kids in the city got all of their "training" from gangs. So I can see that it is a right and it is in the constitution, but when you miss an opportunity to get the right info out in the beginning, you can never get it back.

I don't think that any advocates of a training requirement expect that he trainging for CCW should be for when the SHTF. Just like a driver's license test it should tell you the law, keep safe, etc. How to find cover and fire from it would be the last thing I would want from a state mandated course. Just like a drivers license test doesn't try to teach the best way to handle it if two cars in fron of you crash, or if someone drives into you.

I am actually interested in how the article seems to say that areas are overrun with deer, but the comments appear to state otherwise.

Buffalo News Article Conflicting because the article just makes me want to spend the money and run off to NYS to hunt, with a centerfire rifle that I havne't bought yet because it would see no use in NJ, but then there are comments from NY hunters stating that something just does not add up. Any of us here have any experience hunting in NY like to give some more insight?

Inspecting bras makes me feel better too

If you had a check done by the PD to see if you could be allowed to wear a police uniform and carry a police radio then I would be pretty confident to tell you that you are good to go. When I did the aux thing in Queens it was very clear that that background check was a SERIOUS background check. I don't know how they do it in NJ, but the NYC auxilliaries actually get the complete police uniform (complete with a bullet proof vest now, ) issued to them with the only difference being that you had to take the NYPD patch off and then get the NYPD Auxilliary patch sewed on. So when you are going to be given an actual NYPD uniform with the expectation that you will be using it and walk the streets, you are getting a little bit "more," and you will need to be worthy. So, apply, don't mention it. I think you're fine.

that only matters if reloading is taking the place of another cost saving activity. If you would only be watching tv then every pull of the lever is saving you actual cash.

There is not enough tasering. I enjoy some good tasering video. Anyway, everyone knows, or should know rather, that Occupy Wall Street was in protest of Wall Street; Its recent history of self serving destructive trades and mortgage practices. Not to mention the bail outs of banks for a few billion dollars. Those asking for help with their student loans point to the bail outs of banks and, in terms of the protest, I can certainly see the linkage i.e., if banks and companies that made horrible financial decisions can get billions of dollars, why can't an individual that can't find a job because of those same banks get one? If you look at is as hippies asking a handout - you might be right in some cases, but you are missing the point if you don't see the protester's rhetorical question. Sure, you can find the one off that got a degree in puppetry, or at least write about it with no link or attribution, but after all the crap that the banks pulled and the bail-outs, why is asking for student loan bail-out the crazy part? (Heck, I would like to protest the lowering of my transit flex spending account from $240 a month max to $160. Why the heck would the lower the transit max and raise the Parking max? Who the F' thought that one up?) I am in the interesting position of seeing many sides of this via friends and family. My friends in the NYPD either sympathize, would rather just go home, or love the overtime. My wife's college roommate got a PhD in Physics, can't find a job but at least is still working as a nurse in Louisiana. She wants help from the govt. with her student loans. And my brother in law, A PhD in math that works for a hedge fund that will clearly state to you that although the message has been watered down by the interviewing of the stupid people in the protest, that smart part - the message- is getting through and is actively discussed at his firm and organizations he belongs to. Between OWS and the Tea Party people are starting to talk in the places where it matters. Whether they can self-police themselves into a better Wall Street, phht, never going to happen. And lastly, Those guys that locked arms when asked to move did it to make a scene. THey did it so they would be in the news. Its a tactic. It worked. Better than blogging. If you think they were not preparded to get beaten with a stick to get people to pay attention you would likely be mistaken. There is something kinda ballsy about that. ANyway

BUILD A NEW HOUSE!!!

What do they want to pay or offer as Spec?

How old are you now or... how long ago was it? Hospitalized with no documented problems sounds fine to me. If they recorded somehting and required follow up I would think otherwise. Obviously there is someone somewhere that has a record, but could it be some form of legal, state attainable doc, sound like the answer is no. I can't say 100% but evaluation with no issues sounds about as good as it gets. But if you get get a go ahead from the Auxilliary police I think you are fine. DO you stil do the Aux thing? And welcome, BTW

I'll tell you why I agree with this interpretation. When I moved here from Queens I called and spoke to the local police and asked what I needed to do with my handgun when moving to the new state. Theytold me I didn't have to do anything, not a damned thing. "just bring it," he told me. I was so amazed and kept asking questions that he started to think I was a little weird. So if I can come to NJ with a handgun from out of state to my new house and the police could not care less if I had a FID or a PP for it, why whould they care if my wife had one either? In their eyes anyone could have moved into my house and had a pistol in their hands, no paper work needed. Buying ammo would be impossible, but I can own that handgun without anyone caring.

I love the "each should be evaluated on his merits" part.

I don't fit the bill but I am looking for AVID editors with After Effects experience. Know any in the NYC area?

What do you do for this show?

I agree with one that posted a few back. A class requirement need only be fought if it says "required to pass." I think in terms of the NYS driver's license requirement to take a 4 hour class. In that class they talk about driving drunk,safety and maintenance. The only way you "fail" is to not attend for the full 4 hours. So, I can see if NJ wanted to require that a CCW holder was given the information on use of deadly physical force, safeguarding against child access, common sense safe handling, etc. Personally, I think even a few current owners could uase some of that. Making sure someone is given the right legal and safety info is a very good idea.

See if this is open Martini Bar at the Met

I like this. http://wwww.mossberg.com/content.asp?id=519 keyed, I don't know about kIds and keys though. When i was a kid, if I saw this I would learn to pick the lock. You might have a few years before that happens. I personally prefer a handgun for HD. The ability to extend or retract the bangy end without pointing it at the ground is just what I need for going around the corners in my house. In a different house it might not matter so much. When we did room clearing in the Army you are very aware that if you do it wrong someone WILL grab or deflect the barrel. Without going into to much detail, look into "slicing the pie.". You should know the basics of it regardless of your situation. Then consider your house and its corners. What type of weapon would be easier to manuver in your house? Then get some training. HD with any firearm when there is a kid in the house is an awesome responsibility and the onus is on you to learn best practices, if not become fully proficient.

But seriously...why would you close an ez-pass lane? That's just dumb

Would anyone believe that the attacker has no mental health issues? Who wants odds on mental health issues? Budget cut backs on mental health care strikes again. Here's my :thsmiley_deadhorse: Gun owners need to know that a lack of, or reduction of, govt funded mental health care means those so sick they can't hold a job never get any care. For Gun owners, we think it means we have to protect ourselves FROM these people. Anti's think we want to give guns TO those people, or that we ARE those people. Piss poor mental health care availability will hurt us every time.

Agreed. And the media hanging around simply to find the "bloody lead" is not helping.
