Forget about a dog or a gun. You need a Donk. you don't need a gun when you have a Donk.

I think I posted about this two years ago when I mentioned that I had a permit and wanted to buy something, but didn't particularly see the need for anything else. I was up to 10 guns. I started selling off a bunch of guns and ammunition about 6 months ago - mainly the safe queens - my CX4, my beautiful PX4, and two shotguns. Now I'm down to 3 .22 rifles, my 1911, my Beretta 92FS and my Kel Tec - which is what I pretty much used anyway. As much as I love my Berettas, I've even been considering getting rid of the 92FS / Kel Tec and going with an all .45ACP platform with my 1911 and a Springfield XDs. You know what happened to me? About 6 months ago I suddenly got more interested in Gun rights than guns. That's my new hobby - tweeting, writing editorials, visiting assemblymen. I quite honestly don't have time to visit the range anymore.

I tend to carry a suitcase. In my range bag I have: Staples Tape A Medical kit (one day you will cut yourself on a can and need a band-aid) Plastic bags (for policing up brass and cans) A dowl or coathanger (for squib rounds - I only needed it once) Oil Multi-tool Spotter scope Water Snacks Towel (for when its drizzled and you want to dry off the shooting bench - makes a good rifle rest too) 1 extra magazine per gun (you don't need to worry about that with a revolver but always keep 1 extra magazine for each gun you have in your bag, that way if you forget your magazines when you go to the range, you won't be SOL) As for targets, I make my own. I go to the dollar store and buy wrapping paper and I spraypaint the silhouette of a man on it. It saves me a lot of money. I usually take the cardboard and wood out of the bins at Range 14 and re-use that until it gets too fatigued then I search for new ones. A good field expedient target are the lawn signs that you can pick up after election season. You can re-use Pizza boxes if you need target board.

+1. Gay doesn't necessarily mean unarmed or helpless. You would just look fabulous while kicking the crap out of the guy.

IMHO, there is nothing wrong with a Kimber Pepper Blaster. Its light enough to keep on your person and small enough to fit in your pocket. Anybody can get one and carry one pretty much wherever pepper spray is allowed. If she had a Kimber on her person, than man would be howling in pain at the base of the steps. I carried one when I delivered pizzas. I wouldn't feel undergunned with a Kimber Pepper Blaster Vs. one unarmed intruder. A panic alarm would have helped. I doubt any intruder would stick around if they heard an alarm going off. From what I understand, this attack stemmed form normalcy bias. The woman heard a crash and she went to investigate. She should have called the police, or sent her kid upstairs while she retrieved her gun. But - think about it. How many times have you heard a strange noise and went to investigate - only to find out the cat knocked over a teacup? Granted, this is a gun forum, but just because we are into guns doesn't mean that it's the solution to every problem. Most people aren't going to thing: Intruder when they hear a noise during the day. They are going to think: "That darned cat." You can what-if a situation to death. In this case, I don't think there would have been that much of a change in outcome unless the house was alarmed and she had a gun on her person. There is also the possibility that you could do everything right, and you still get killed. Sometimes, it's just not your day. You can prepare and prepare and prepare. And I'd rather be prepared, but sometimes no matter how much you prepare- you lose the fight because of Murphy's law.

I could see lots of uses, especially in Cordon and Search for opening doors - or just as a useful hammer.

19 years in the Infantry and the only knife I ever used was a Gerber multi-tool. I never fell into that whole : "Well, if I have to fight with my knife" mentality. If it was that bad, I'd probably be swinging around my entrenching tool. It wasn't until about a year ago that someone gave me an Carson Design M16-14ZSF that I started carrying a real knife and quite honestly, I use it more for opening MRE's and cutting 550 cord than I do for opening up Haji from gut to gullet. I can see useful situations for a Tomahawk, though. Especially if its flat on one end for hammering and has and ax blade on the other. Not that I would use one- I'm a platoon sergeant. I'm going to sit in a camp chair, smoke a cigar and drink coffee while one of my hard-charging privates uses the tomahawk. One possibility would be to Gungrips.net and order a custom set of Beretta92FS / M9 gun grips with the Eagle, Globe and Anchor emblem and his initials. But he may get ragged for that if he just enlisted. That's the sort of thing I can get away with - not him. Quite honestly, the best gift you could give him is Under Armor sock liners.

I'm a member of Firing Line on Ft. Street in South Philly. I like going there because the parking is free and off-street and the guys there are South-Philly boys. Philadelphia Archery and gun is sort of like the Hagues of Philly. All Ex-cops in 5.11 pants and polos. PM me. You can go there as my guest one night if you are interested.

Keep in mind that It's not something that I want to happen. Suzanna Hupp had her parents die in front of her. But I wouldn't be surprised if gun stores in the area saw more traffic in the coming days. This is how things get moving, when the wealthy have to wait for a gun permit, laws have to change. It's sad, but it's true. The rich really do live by different rules.

I respectfully disagree. I've said it before, and we are going to get Shall-issue through one of three ways: #1. Judicial Remedy #2. By electing a new legislature #3. When someone in NJ has a Suzanna Hupp moment. I hate to say it, but I think #3 has the best chance of happening. Look at the Millburn home invasion: How many wives in Millburn went to the gun store today only to be told that they need to go apply for a gun and it will take 30 days? If that woman were to stand before the legislature tomorrow and beg for her gun rights, we wouldn't need Governor Christie to veto the bill. The problem with #3 is that somebody has to get hurt for it to happen. But it has to be so awful that all of the soccer moms in NJ will be reluctant to venture out to the store without a .38 in their purse. When we hit that moment, then it will happen.

What's interesting is that NYC actually creates an underprivileged class with this. Basically, if you own a bar, you can go to the court, pay the fee, and say "I own a bar and transport cash." The judge gives you a limited carry permit where you can carry one specific revolver to and from your bar and the bank. If you refill vending machines, you can go to the court with the fee and say: "I refill bending machines" and the judge gives you a special carry license. If you are Donald Trump, the judge gives you an unrestricted business carry license. But if you want to carry to protect yourself from being sexually assaulted... well%

No. The exception is NYC. In fact, the carry permit is recognized by every county except NYC. You have to get a separate permit for NYC. I think that the difference between NYC and NJ is that if you meet the criteria in NYC - namely you own a business, getting the permit is "easy." But the criteria is laid out. In NJ, any business owner can carry in their business , but NYC requires something called a "premises license" for that. In one sense, we are looser than NYC on that. But... if you want to carry your gun to the bank when you deposit your money, you can get a "Limited carry license." Which, from what I understand is fairly easy to get. There are other licenses - "Business carry, Special Carry" and so on. That allow you to carry generally without a specific destination and so on.

I've bought ammunition and magazines from Rayco, but never a gun. I've had positive experiences at the store. Gary and Ray seem like good guys when you talk to them.

I can tell you this. If it weren't for NJ2AS, you would have been shooting with a 10 round magazine two years ago when Lou Greenwald first proposed it. NJ2AS is a fantastic organization and Frank has put so much time and effort into this project that he should be commended for his work. I don't agree with all of the political / libertarian sentiments of the group. I'm pretty much a die-hard Democrat. But they are a single-issue organization. They'll support anyone, Republican, Democrat, or Libertarian who is willing to protect our gun rights.

Oh... you're new here.

I strongly suggest you take a look at Cort Furniture and AFR http://nj.cortclearancefurniture.com/?gclid=CO-eqozp_LcCFc-f4AodAwsA6w http://www.afrcc.com/ Both places are within 2 miles of each other. One in Pennsauken, one in Cinnaminson. Basically, they re-sell rented furniture. When homebuilder needs to furnish a model home, they rent furniture from Cort or AFR. When the model home is closed, Cort and AFR take the furniture back and resell it to you. Depending on what you get, the furniture is basically unused. When I got my first apartment, I furnished the entire thing - Queen bed, mattress, two nightstands, dresser, mirror, couch, two chairs, dinette , 3 lamps and TV stand for $1040, including delivery from AFR. They also have package deals. Give them a look.

Twenty minutes into the future...

Welcome. did you apply for your FID yet? what are you thinking of purchasing?

This is a good idea.

Cigars Double 9 Dominoes

If you still intend to own your home while you are away, I don't see why you can't change your DL to your uncle's address. Keep your guns there, and just change your DL back to your FID's address when you get home. Of course this only works if you are keeping your home while you are away. If I own a shore home, and a home in Cherry Hill, I can make either of those homes my home address.

Well, you can *have* it. Paul just has to pin it to 15.

PM Me. I have a bunch of rounds stored in peanut butter jars and can give you some. I actually have so much that I am considering selling some on the forums. I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Hey, everybody!!! Somebody has .22 ammo!

Congratulations and welcome to the forums. We're a family here. Treasure those pistols. My father no longer has the rifle he taught me with.
