Bacon is bad for you so we should start taxing it. Just like... Soda. Hmm maybe we should just ban those things outright now!

I'd like to point out that I believe although most of us as tax paying Americans are against this bill, few of us are ignorant to the need of reform. But make no mistake. This is not reform, this is control. And as someone else said, today we woke up less free. God damn right I'm angry about it. There is nothing in this world more important than our freedom, it's why we have everything we take for granted in this nation. And without it, the account will drain out of an ever growing hole in the bottom of the vault until there's nothing left but "we ought to" and "it's the right thing to do". That is not a nation I want to live in. So I will continue to write my letters and be ignored by my representatives who are not likely to be evil men, but ignorant men. I'll place my votes hoping to stem the tide of this ignorance. And by the time I'm gone either it will all have worked out, which I'd be thankful for, or it will be on the express train to hell with no chance of turning around. In that case I lament for future generations this burden we are placing upon them.

I disagree with anyone who would say this is not the time to panic. As far as I'm concerned America died last night. Not just because of what a pile of crap this bill was, but how it was passed, the closed door sessions, the ignoring of the will of the people. You know "the people", the ones who pay taxes. Now it's not fiction anymore: From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.

50 boxes of PMC shipped to my door for $329. Mmmm, delicious.

I hope it does for the boys in the Pacific side of WWII what all the movies and Band of Brothers did for their EU fighting brethren. This should be some amazing stories if it's anything near the quality of their last series.

Wild boar is delicious. Enjoy!

The firearm you know how to use and that is reliable = effective in HD. If you like your USP and take it out and use it and are comfortable with it, then you are on the right track. Shotguns are just "easier" to utilize when it's 3AM and you aren't really awake which is one of the reasons they are recommended.

Start with HD first. Your life is more important than your hobby. You dig? By the way I have shot my NEF Pardner Pump many times, both 00 buck and slugs. You have to trust your life to the firearm you choose for HD, because that's exactly what you will be doing god forbid you ever need to use it.

Yes, but we can't put pressure on national level organizations OR other states. Our own legislature though, is something we can write to, call, email and in general make some noise with.

I recently had some email back and forth with Assemblyman Carroll and he had some interesting things to say. The funny thing was in response to informing him that I let all my representatives know that I want them support the bill, but have not heard back from any of them. He said they may reply to my ideas if I was to announce my candidacy. lol, I thought that was pretty sharp. As for the hopeful message, the bill is still stalled. BUT it seems that everyone is waiting for the SCOTUS decision. As not to read into things too much I will post what he said here, short and sweet: I'm encouraged that they even know the SCOTUS has a 2A ruling up in the air, and that they may not wait for us to sue the state into the ground to change the rules. I'll post any more information if I receive it, in the mean time KEEP WRITING TO YOUR REPS!

Man, Bears are no joke. Are you guys talking 3" magnum slugs or 2.75" is fine? I dunno, I don't hunt but I think I'd want the biggest boom I could legally bring for a frikken bear!

Welcome to the group!

Before you embark make sure you are aware of how expensive that round is. A case goes for $1000. Even with reloading I would make sure to check into it!

.44 Mag *boom*

I'd go to the station with a lawyer and demand the firearms be transferred to me free of charge and with no registration or permit application as outlined in NJ state law. This is one of the few times when I would "lawyer up" as they say, because this is something that could very well happen to me so I've thought about it. If he's legally able to get the FPID card, then he can get all the firearms. He does not have to do an FFL transfer OR actually get the FPID card to take ownership of them. Having said that, he should still get an FPID card so he can purchase ammunition for the pistols! Any idea what town this is if you don't mind sharing?

What is their problem and what are they trying to do to us? I mean seriously what the hell is wrong with these people?!?! I can't even comprehend this stuff anymore....

I'm amazed. Seriously...

A1384 - 1/12/2010 Introduced, Referred to Assembly Law and Public Safety Committee S69 - 1/12/2010 Introduced in the Senate, Referred to Senate Law and Public Safety Committee Still in committee. Will probably never come OUT of committee. But keep calling, writing etc and letting your representatives know that you want this.

Agreed.

Yeah guys, for all the talk of the ZA in the other thread, you gotta realize that you are either in shape when it happens or you are fffffffffffffffffffff'ed!

I get ever other Friday off (as long as things are not insane at work) so I'm 10000% down with that!

Can't do the next few weeks but towards April, I'm going to try to make some time. That's difficult though since I'd have to take a day off of work. You ever go on Fridays?

Yeah I was talking to Mak. I want to meet up with you guys for sure. First to meet some of you all and also to see if FD is a place I want to shoot my other rifles. I have not used my 30'06, .300 WM or .22-250 in like a decade and they are saaaaaaaaaaad. I was going to reach out to you guys around the end of March to see if I can join in the fun one afternoon. What time do you usually go?

I'd love to but it's 70 miles away. I'm going to try to get together with some folks here for a Ft. Dix trip soon. Hopefully that will work out.

So I went to the Bullet Hole this morning. Brought the newly built AR Carbine and put about 200 rounds through it. Yeah I know, 25 yards isn't far but I wanted to give it a big burn in to make sure everything jived. I LOVE THIS GUN. Seriously. It's the most fun I've ever had with any firearm that I've ever bought. I think a lot of it is because I built so much of it myself and it wasn't just something I picked up at a store. Really looking forward to going to a 100 or 200 yd range now!
