Mark Craighead of Crossbreed Holsters Deceased
I think he was an Evangelical Christian and quite proud of it. Not my cup of tea, but I can respect that. Does makes me wonder if Mark is up there fitting Jesus for a custom-made super-tuck. Heck, look what happened the last time Jesus was on earth... I got a funny feeling he's not going to let *that* happen again without a fight.

Are people really this stupid?
The 45th Infantry division had a Swastika as its symbol until Hitler came to power. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/45th_Infantry_Division_(United_States)

Anybody know some good documentaries?
"This Film is Not Yet Rated" was good. "Gasland" "Windfall" +1 "Restrepo." If you want the Dutch version of Restrepo, go with "Armadillo." "Super Size Me" as also very good.

Holster Advice..
I've never had a problem with my Serpa. I also like my Galco Yaqui holsters. They are a little expensive, but you get what you pay for.

New Beretta
IMHO, the finest DA/SA polymer gun on planet earth. I've often said that my Beretta 92 is my wife - solid, reliable. But my PX4 is my sexy, young mistress.

It's normally my Monday morning run Podcast. Yes, I am one of those freaks of nature that listens to talk shows instead of music when he works out.

Gun ban scenario question
Not if Lou Greenwald had his way. This is what got me involved in NJ2AS and politics. It was the straw that broke the Camel's back. About 18 months ago, Lou Greenwald tried to institute a bill called A3807. I visited the office to explain why a magazine ban was a Bad Idea. I asked the Assemblyman's staff what I would do with the magazines I already own since there is no Grandfather provision. One aide, and her name was Jade ( I have all of this written down), said :"You would have to turn those magazines over to the police." And I thought: "Oh hell no... I'm a Jew. I saw this movie..." So In a place like NJ that has little respect for gun or private property rights, I think there is a very good chance that you would have to turn in your firearm or magazine with no compensation to the police, unless you were able to sell it out of state.

Maple Shade Sportsmens Club
I've noticed the sign as well. I could have sworn I heard firing a few weeks ago. I'm not sure how to contact the club or even exactly where they are located.

Interview with detective prior to getting/ submitting permit apps?
I've noticed the 'interview' from the towns that require it (Voorhees and Mt. Laurel from what I know) is really just so that they can make sure you filled out the paperwork correctly. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Kimber .45 1911 Compact II Gold Accessories.
Gungrips.net has a lot of good stuff. I'm not sure where you would be able to get the aftermarket gold hardware, but Brownells.com probably has it. I'm not even sure where you would get Ivory grips, that may be illegal, but there are polymer alternatives.

Man Orders TV Through Amazon, Gets Assault Rifle
There is one disturbing thing about this story: It perpetuates the myth that you can order guns online and have them delivered to your door.

The Ordeal begins.
Seems like some towns require an "Interview" which really just means "we look at the paperwork to make sure you filled it out correctly." I know Voorhees does. So does Mt. Laurel. I think it actually makes the process go smoother. Not as smooth as NICS only... but that is a different thread.

Kimber .45 1911 Compact II Gold Accessories.
"The Ambassador" - Funny... Do you want to electroplate the metal with real gold or something that just looks like gold, or just get new grips? This gun looks pretty darn good as is.

How Come No NJS Troopers Here?
A couple of guys here know what I do for a living and what I do for a part-time job. I don't advertise what I do in my part-time job or what I have done in the past because... I just don't want the attention. I've never been into that hero BS. The LEOs on this board may feel the same way.

Buying just one(for now), and need help with my OCD!
The PX4 Compact comes with 15 rounders. The PX4 Full Size has aftermarket 15 rounders available for it, although I think they are sold with the 10 rounders in NJ. I haven't seen a full sized PX4 at the Gun store in a while.

Where do you live? There are probably plenty of forum members who would meet you at a range to let you shoot their collection so you can make a better decision. You may like the way something feels in your hand - such as an LCR, or Kel Tec PF9. But it may feel totally different when you shoot it.

And darn it, take a look at the PX4 as well. It's a full-sized gun and Beretta makes 15 round magazines for them.

IMHO, take a second look at the Beretta 92FS. Simple reason why: you get 15 rounds of 9mm instead of 10 with the Glock 17. Only in New Jersey does a Compact Glock 19 hold more than a full-size Glock 17. The Glock 21 will not be a bad choice either. Yes, .45 ammo is expensive, but you can also get an Advantage Arms conversion kit and shoot .22LR for a lot less money.

Lou Greenwald: Gov Run?
It's possible, although he doesn't have the name recognition of Corey Booker. No... The South Jersey candidate for Governor will be whoever George Norcross says it will be. I have a feeling that he would prefer Senator Sweeny.

suggestions for a female friend of mine?
Nothing wrong with the Beretta 92FS or Sig P226 if you are looking for yourself. My wife actually likes the Beretta 92FS more than the lighter weight PX4. Hey, I don't judge. That's why they make different guns.
