Thank god for global warming!
Do you consider the changing of the season from winter to summer "global warming"? No it is just the way it is. And that is exactly how the Earth is. When the dinosaurs were around the temperature was much hotter than today. Then how did the Ice Ages come about? Was it all the cars early man were driving around 10k years ago? So its now a bit warmer than the Ice Ages and a bit cooler than the when the dinosaurs were around. What does that tell you?

Ten Ring Ammo?
Know someone with a 9mm revolver? They should be okay for that. If they are that easy to setback DO NOT USE in a auto. Recipe for an over pressure kaboom.

Electric Water Heater Installation
Make sure on the permits. You don't want to be stuck for sub standard work. You can be fined or have the entire thing redone on your nickel, if code enforcement finds out. IIRC they run 75-100.

Federal Interstate Handgun Sales Ban Ruled Unconstitutional
Hell NJ won't even acknowledge MacDonald. In the rest of the US Owning a Firearm is a constitutional right, in NJ all firearms are illegal EXCEPT. I wonder how that works? A constitutional right is illegal. Makes sense.

Ceiling Fan Box
When installing these fan boxes, DO NOT go nuts snuging them up. They can shift your joists causing sheetrock cracks and nail/screw head pops.

YUCK.

Any authority that says it is legal to have unloaded long gun as long as you have the FID card?
There is no distinction in NJ about carry. If it is legal concealed it is legal open. So a carry permit for a handgun is valid concealed or not.

Smart Gun Law in the news
You got lucky, One I tried worked ~50% of the time on the first effort. We use finger print readers to get into my office. Humidity and skin moisture have A LOT to do with if the optical scanners work. Just to get my finger to scan at all I had to apply moisturizer.

Looks like snow...
4 wheel drive does not help you stop better. That little tidbit seems to be missed nowadays. When I was learning to drive my parents took me to a snow covered parking lot and said have a blast. You learned how to accelerate, brake, and get out of a skid.

Firearms Purchase Questions/Help (I just got my permits)
Depending on location. I recomend Gun for Hire in Woodland Park. As others have said, take the Basic Pistol class before buying. You will learn things that will help you ask intelligent questions so you get what you will be comfortable with. At the class you will get to shoot various calibers including 9mm and 38 spl. They also have a lot of rentals you can "try before you buy". Remember, how a firearm feels is very personal. What someone else likes you may hate. Do not skimp on safety glasses and hearing protection!

"Columbia Journalism School" I thought that was an oxymoron.

"No-Knock" Warrants and HD
http://www.cnn.com/2015/01/17/us/oklahoma-police-chief/index.html And this is what happens when you enter without knocking.

"No-Knock" Warrants and HD
Like I said. Why would it go to a jury? Should be not even charged except for a subjective decision.
-
"No-Knock" Warrants and HD
There is no such thing as complete safety. What if you trip and hit your head while retreating? That's not very safe is it? Just like there is no such thing as "substantially identical". Something is identical or it is not. So we have another completely useless law open to subjective interpretation by whomever. (LEO, Persecuter, Judge etc) Way to go NJ Legislators.

"No-Knock" Warrants and HD
Unfortunately, home invaders have taken to yelling "police" as they break in. So in the middle of the night how do you tell? No knock warrants = disaster waiting to happen.

Online magazine stores...
Just need to keep your eyes open. I have gotten good deals from Cdnn, brownells, midway, cabelas, and Czusa (15 rounders/ $19 woo hoo)

What shops north Jersey carry a good selection of hand guns in stock?
For a large selection, Ottomanelli's is hard to beat. Little pricey, but a good selection. Woodland Park, next door to GFH range.

Stack on "Personal" Safe tax exempt?
Just as a point of usage. That is NOT a quick access safe. I have one with a similar lock and it takes a few seconds to open it, even in a stress free situation. I've found these work better for me: http://www.gunvault.com/mv500-std-microvault.html or this http://www.gunvault.com/sv500.html They aren't safes but they keep little hands away.

Bought my first house...
For bathroom fans, install timers!!!!!! That way they run during/after a shower and turn off themselves. Makes for a much drier happier room.

Bought my first house...
Yes, 1 is good it goes on the ductwork near the blower. Can easily keep a house in the 40-60 humidity range. If you have forced hot air without a humidifier, wooden furniture is likely to crack.

Bought my first house...
Any painting/flooring planned? DO IT NOW!!!!! Once you move in, it gets much more difficult. Check every outlet for correct wiring. There is a 4 dollar tool you plug in and the led on it tell you if it is good.
