Electric
Boogie Woogie Woogie Woogie! Sorry, learned that at the Hidden Door in Columbus. Wow, very bad timing, but I'm not surprised. Haven't lost power but I am having problems with my AC. It is helping a little, and should have it fixed next week.

NJ Medical Marijuana vs Your Gun Rights
Well, of course. You can have treason and murder expunged and then own firearms as far as I know.

OH CCW Holder Victim of "Notification Law"
You're not going to. Don't waste your time worrying about this stuff. You have plenty of applicable things to worry about in NJ. Also, don't worry about Russian rules for Cosmonauts. The Russians are not going to take you into space. At least, not by putting you on a manned rocket.

NJ Medical Marijuana vs Your Gun Rights
Well, under federal law, if you are convicted of a drug violation, local or state or federal, you are banned from firearms possession for life. Regardless of sentence or lack thereof. So, you've pretty much tossed your name in a hat that some politician can use to haunt you later since you had to register with the state for the stuff, and therefore admitted to a federal crime. I am not a lawyer.

Iowa Congressman & family safe after home invasion
If it's consistently not going to penetrate someone completely then it's not going to stop them reliably. You are not using the firearm because the attacker is in your house making tea. And you want the opportunity to shoot him, after you get your family to the other side of the house and trick the guy into standing against a good backstop. You are using the firearm because you have decided that if you don't stop the attacker that very bad things will happen. Stopping the attacker is therefore the priority. You are more likely to miss with one of your shots than have a shot go through an attacker and kill an innocent person. Know your target and what is beyond it. Go around the house and check out what would happen if you shot from various locations. You have windows? Might you hit somebody through those windows unintentionally? You have brick facade or plywood external walls covered with tyvek and siding? Where are your kids likely to be? Where might they be? Now that you have figured out your target and what is behind it, do you think missing the target is better than hitting the target with ammo that penetrates?

Police Kill Teenager After Shooting Him 5 Times In Back And While Laying Face Down On Street
Wrong. Job one is to risk your life for citizens you suspect and do not know, and error on the side of getting yourself killed to ensure you protect the rights of citizens that you do not know in uncertain situations. At least, it should be. If you wield infinite power, and always receive the benefit of the doubt when you beat or murder people, and your testimony is binding whether it is true or whether you are lying, and sovereign immunity… Then you should not be looking after your own a**. BTW - has nothing to do with the story posted, just a response to a very bad attitude.

I did something I probably haven't done since...
I was shooting a suppressed M16, but to clarify, I was shooting suppressed .22s out of it At mah woodpile. I climbed a new tree today but didn't go as high as the tree offered. I think I'm going to climb all of them next weekend. I have less than a couple dozen that are climbable. I got black and blue marks and I've been reacquainted with a few muscles I forgot about. Treadmill and pushups do wonders for cholesterol, but leave the body a little short-changed it seems.

Wow, that's crazy. But in the unlikely event I have to leave the room to get a long gun, I'm going to shoot you a few times before I leave the room to get the long gun.

Found a Hornets nest
Good work. Knock the damn thing down and throw it in the neighbor's yard, or put it in the trash can.

I did something I probably haven't done since...
Oh, yeah, no doubt. But, correspondingly, it seems my goals have changed with age. Instead of "I can make that one-inch branch get me to 40 feet," I have "I don't see anything above this split of branches that would be comfortable to sit on." Plus, there's two dead people I knew that suffered a sudden stop at the end of a fall. So, I'm down with that. I have grat respect for gravity. Further, I knew a guy that got kicked out of a tree once and he broke his leg when he landed. Badly. Visibly badly. I kinda felt bad about it. Like how shooting deer stuck in ice is poaching.

I did something I probably haven't done since...
It's pretty sad. But I probably haven't done this in almost 20 years Keep in mind, I'm not a hunter. Today I started climbing the trees on my property. When I went up the second tree, I knew I was going to have to shoot something just to make it official. So I brought up the M16, suppressed, but I only fired a burst for the record. I got a lot of really huge trees. I'll start on the rest of them tomorrow. I loved climbing trees as a kid. And it seems as natural today as it did back then.

Newark mandates small restaraunts hire armed security
LOL, I can't wait to see this nonsense. I actually attend a party in Newark that runs past 2200 about once a year. Although I've been mssing it lately for some reason.

Ciener .22lr conversion kits
That's only because he IS a douchebag. Avoid him at all costs. Unless he puts that 5.56mm M16 belt fed upper back into production. It's very strange that nobody has picked those back up, and Ares did an entirely new design, even though Ceiner's existing uppers from decades ago seem to work. Gotta be some issue with them I am missing. I have the Advantage Arms kit for my Glock and it works great. It sucked out of the box. I sent it back, and it worked when I got it back. As far as rimfire conversions go, that's good enough for me. I have a buddy that likes his and the serious gun owners seem to like them as well.

Suggestions of PA/NJ border towns
Didn't take it personal one bit. I'm sure your first-hand opinions are more important that my... Umm... Real experience? Continuous real experience? Over the course of years? Every single day? Then again, we all have opinions and likes and dislikes. Just don't pull your "first-hand OPINIONS on what I've seen over the last few years" on me since I live here for crying out loud. Did you miss this? Were those not constructive suggestions? BTW, I obviously just re-read my post, and I have determined I was a serious dick And I apologize for that. At the moment, I can't even believe I was that much of an asshole. But I was. One more thing, it was all true as far as I can tell. Once again, just to be clear, sorry about being a dick.

First gun you would buy... if you lived in a free state?
I believe mine is quieter than a staple gun but that's a difficult comparison.

Found a Hornets nest
Remember, they are innactive and sluggish at night. So, if you are a pussy like me, spray them at night.

Suggestions of PA/NJ border towns
What? I don't understand what you mean. There was some sort of offense or painting of Lehigh Valley in a bad way? You lost me. Shitholes. I've been on the "now-infamous Rt. 33" almost every day for three years, including weekends, only seen a backup about once a year. As opposed to 78 in PA, which has backups monthly. Maybe you are thinking about 33 up towards the shithole Bangor, etc? I've never had a problem up there but I only go up there for a reason, not for routine. When I said "north of 22" I meant ON THE NORTH SIDE OF 22. I didn't mean shitholes like Bangor or the Poconos. Palmer, Forks, Nazareth, College Hill, Bethlehem Township (not City). Everything south of 22 is congested and shitty. Now, I know you have looked into this quite a bit and you are an expert on it. So, I will defer to your judgment. I just have to throw in my 2 cents having lived here for 4 years. It took me 5 years to find my house in PA because I was stupid and drew a circle on a map without thinking what might be outside it by 5 minutes. If only I had you to guide me, I'd still be living in NJ after 9 years of trying to move.

NJGF Arms Race 2010
Damn, you Jersey guys buy a lot of guns. I only got one thing in the last 365 days: And I can't even get the pic to post. Oh well

Found a Hornets nest
This is probably the worst idea on the planet, so please don't try it. But gasoline will kill all of them instantly. I'm not talking about setting a fire, I'm talking about throwing or spraying it on them. They will instantly fall to the ground dead. Don't do it! Avoid sparks!

I think you should look at areas north of 22, not everything south of 22.

Sons of Guns
The show is full of **** from wall to wall. I've watched, I've cringed, turned it off, turned it back on, and seen about half of the episodes. He seems like a good guy (never met him in person) and he does do some good NORMAL* builds from what I have heard. But the show is complete bs from soup to nuts.

First gun you would buy... if you lived in a free state?
The admin is encouraging people to leave the state? Sounds like a cannibalistic forum policy My first purchase was a Colt M16-A1 with suppressor. Not surprisingly, it wasn't actually the first firearm I brought home due to the two-month delay
