I am praying for all of you.

You said this: I meant that I agree with you in spades. If you draw or shoulder a firearm you better damn well know it is going to stop your attacker on the first try.

AIRBORNE. You need 100% confidence in your equipment and tactics if your plan is to prevail. If you plan to lose, you can mix it up a bit.

WTF? I gotta check the size of my pepper spray?!! Is CS legal?

Looks like it was last updated 2007 just from the info in my browser. http://www.heavensgate.com/ How long does it take to get updates from the Mothership considering the speed of light and all the enzymes collaborating and sh1t?

I hate those dudes. They always send me emails with cool looking guns on the cheap. They are the Devil!

I'm with Ray Ray. The gun is a curiosity, and one that has been done before I think. Ammo is heavy. In a pump, I just don't know. I would have to try one. Not excited.

Take a look at AZ. They are very fast. I mailed my application and had my permit in about 5 business days IIRC, it was amazing. It was the time for mailing back and forth. Normally they can take up to two calendar weeks, or sometimes up to a month in rare cases. Which is still pretty darn good. They accept DD214 as training, and I think any hunter training course that involves live fire. They also accept any NRA course. Last time I looked, that is. There seemed to be a little confusion about it last time I looked. EDIT: The only bad part is AZ will not cover a Jersey dude in FL. FL does not recognize non-res permits except for their own non-res permit.

Well, no clarification is required on that. The law is the law. But I appreciate you boogering them with that. But, you do bring up a good point. So, I want to help. I have just finished drafting letters to Chris Chistie, NJ AG Paula Dow, and a person I have previously corresponded with at the ATF to see what they think about FOPA covering NJ residents with handguns in their cars in their home state for the purpose of crossing state lines. Is there anybody that can host it so I can get feedback from the forum before I send it out? I could copy and paste it, but there's bullets and formatting and such so it will be messed up. I get up pretty early tomorrow and will ship it out before the sun comes up. Probably just simpler to post your ideas so I can read them in the morning before I send it out.

I go to Campinos at least once a year. Very small party, can count on my few fingers, with a very rich man. It's a simple impromptu lunch or dinner, not something arranged. As far as I know. The shrimp and veggies are great! They give too much meat, and it's a little dry. I'm NOT talking Rodizio, just regular menu dishes. I've been going there for about 6 years I think. I probably won't be there again until Christmas season. But, this year, I will assert myself. I want one less piece of meat and double the veggies. What they do to those veggies is crazy. It makes me cry. And then I come. It’s pretty embarrassing. Iberia Penninsula, I have only been there for catered parties. And, I can tell you, the food is crazy mad.

It's a little off-topic, but I used to sample a monitoring well at the flagship property back in the mid 90s. It was a 4-inch casing and screen, standard tiny little monitoring well, but it was a little deeper than most overburden monitoring wells in NJ until you get closer to the Coastal Physiographic Plain. I still have my logbooks for sampling this well. I don't have them in front of me. It was about 60 feet deep or so. We would put two 12-volt whale pumps in series and some PVC tubing down this well to purge it prior to sampling. I could take all of that stuff and lift it over my head 50 times with one arm. It was maybe 10 lbm tops. Once it got down this little well, we had problems. It started dragging the pumps, the tubing, and the cord down the well, deeper than the total depth of the well (only about 60 feet). Pulling with at least a hundred pounds of force, even with the pumps turned off. (Just throwing that out there for people that don't understand that these tiny pumps can't provide any force like this anyway.) Usually with a severe tugging motion, like a tug of war between some buff guys down in the Earth and one or two guys up top, until we got the rig back or the conductor cables broke. It was crazy. We had a hand truck with a hose rack to move around the equipment and the hose would be pulled so hard that the hand truck would fall over and get dragged across the parking lot to the wellhead. Attached to only 10 pounds of gear that's not even turned on and couldn't do that even if it was.

You can't get good Rodizio between Route 78 and the Tropic of Capricorn. There might be a flyer or two in Elizabeth, but, Perth Amboy? Give me a break j/k That blasphemy is like trying to get a cheesesteak north of Route 80 or south of the Delaware state line. They are like two exclusive food zones that overlap slightly with all kinda enzymes collaborating and shit.

Trying to address the two of you in one fell swoop, It's always easy to meet you at a range but it's harder to shoot NFA outside. Full Auto is not allowed at most outdoor ranges. Most of the time I shoot NFA outside it's with other NFA friends, seats are limitted and on a rotating basis, and guest are few if any. There's going to be a party in October and most anything goes on the line, but time on the line will be limitted due to the large number of people. I think I want to get you guys to the party to meet some people and that will make shooting in PA easier going forward. If you don't hear back from me, please make sure you remind me by September 30 via PM, email, or phone. Don't be afraid to remind me.

There is no TSA approved bag. And, even if I'm wrong and there is, you are not required to use it. Go to the TSA website, they have a webpage with the requirements and a few photos showing what they want to see and what they don't want to see.

This thread is awesome. For those of you guys that are allowed to eat food, take the advice in this thread seriously. I am in that area quite frequently, but I really can't eat that food anymore. A couple times a year is still good I'm going to check out some of the places that have been mentioned that I have never been to. We like to hold some company parties at these places, and our business associations have at least one party at these places during the course of the year.

I don't think you can beat the price on that thing for 10 gauge. It's actually pretty hard to find anything thicker than 12 gauge until you get to 1/4 inch. I wish there were more 10 gauge choices out there, some simple cheapo ones with reasonable anti-tamper features rather than decked-out pretty ones like this one. Even the lower end AMSECs have 11 gauge bodies I think, and that's actually a significant difference vs. 10 gauge when it comes to hand tools. Most people don't have 10 gauge bodies, even people that pay over $3,000 on some popular brands.

I've never shot either. But everybody says the RIA's are tack drivers and have perfect reliability. So, I guess somebody would have to convince me to go Tarus, having shot neither. Some of those RIAs look pretty sharp, too.

Probably say you smelled weed. Or saw somebody inside with a gun through a window.

^Gets It^ Straight up. Tell me you have boobies and I will tell you I love you

I don't know about NJ law. If it were me, I would suggest flying out of Allentown, PA. If you show up 1 hour early, you will make your flight. Heck, I've shown up 20 minutes early and made my flight. You park right in front of the terminal and it costs $7/day to park. And, guaranteed, they won't give a crap about your handguns. Maybe in Newark they don't, but I just don't like the idea. As far as what I do for the TSA is concerned (not NJ law) - If I am simply taking a couple handguns for self-defense, and not planning on doing any shooting, I pack the handgun(s) and the ammo together in a plastic pistol case that I lock with a padlock. TSA says you should not be able to easily pry it open by hand. So, when I only pack one handgun and two boxes of ammo in a Glock case, I throw some washers on the lock hasp so that it keeps it locked tight. But I don't think they would care. They DO care that there is no loose ammo or ammo in mags unless the mags have covers on them. Also, your airline may have additional restrictions. Check the TSA website and the website for your airline. And, In my opinion, fly out of Allentown. No gun worries and it will probably be cheaper. You will probably have an extra connection for a long flight but you will probably arrive at your destination the same time you would have if you left your house at the same time to fly out of Newark. No lines, park at the terminal and walk 100 yards to go inside, nice people, no mobs, nobody is going to mug you or steal your car, never any worry about your guns, no smelly people, no douchebags, no panhandlers, cheap parking, what's not to like?

Best Rodizio in the US is in Ironbound. All kinds of good Port/Brazilian cooking. Several choices!

Well, it's not true and never was. No matter what laws Philly thinks they can pass, none of them matter. I would CC in Philly on an out of state license anyway. So your chances of getting a shakedown are pretty low and if it happens it will end at the first judge you meet in my layman's opinion.

Well, 10 gauge can be pried open, and cut open without power tools, but it's a lot better than most boxes that are even more expensive. I think if you have a monitored alarm system with some type of fail-safe fault, or radio plus other alert to monitoring station, a 10 gauge cabinet is something I would consider for some of my stuff. It will slow simple crackheads down to the point where a police response will catch them. As long as cutting the phone line doesn't disable your alarm alert. Anything is better than nothing, but I consider 10 gauge to be the minimum in a layered security for normal guns of no exceptional value. So, good job. It's a heck of a lot better than what most people buy. If you bolt it down you will probably be safe unless they bring a grinder, K-saw, or torch. In those cases, they'd cut the thing in half in 30 seconds flat. If you don't bolt it down they are more likely to pry it open quickly. It isn't UL listed. Most gun cabinets are not. So that rating is BS. Gun cabinet fire protection may indeed help in a fire. I’m not saying it’s worthless. Depends on the circumstances. Keep your irreplaceable documents in a UL listed fire safe.

Appreciate the advice, thanks. I don't have that problem where I live now, but I'll file it for future use.

Umm... I don't see that as any sort of change. What am I missing?
