Job recruiters?
You might consider getting a job at Aerotek. Not from Aerotek, but with Aerotek. I say that because of the HR degree. If you have any interest in being in the headhunting business yourself, it might be a good entry level job. And they promote very fast. I've been working with them for over 20 years and they seem to move recruiters to management (or the unemployment line) within the first year. I don't know what it is like to work there, but I'm willing to guess it's pretty high-pressure, low respect. Maybe I am wrong and it is great. But they do promote very fast.

Reduce penalties for out of state gun owners?
Then why are they letting out of staters caught with loaded handguns go on their merry way? You say Jersey doesn't give a shit, but apparently this is the ONLY thing Jersey gives a shit about. This is the only pro-2A, reactionary action Jersey has taken since before I was born in the 70s. So, you are arguing the ONLY thing that has ever put Jersey on their heals over 2A doesn't matter. I think it deserves a closer look.

possibly stupid computer question
You don't need No Script. Do what I do. Turn scripts off. I rarely need them, and everything annoying, spying, tracking, or malicious on the internet is loaded by scripts nowadays because web developers are lazy. Open your Hosts file and follow the example in the Rem section at the top. Type the website, tab, and then 0.0.0.0 for the IP redirect. Your computer will never load that site again. It's better than 127, because 127 will cause a delay as it pings back. Or, download Hostman if you prefer a GUI for it.

It's illegal in Philly. 90 days in jail MANDATORY. Seems to never be enforced unless you are also guilty of upsetting a cop.

Boy Scouts, Forestburg Scout Res. Rifle Shooting merit badge?
My dad sent my last target and $10 or so. Nothing ever came back. They were supposed to send me a badge or certificate or something. Never got anything. Turns out I had to score Expert with the M16 (by default), my primary weapon, and secondary weapon every 30 days or I would be kicked TFOut. I actually missed twice. First time was during an actual cyclone. Second time I think somebody messed with my shit because the M16 was not my carry weapon. They gave me a second chance and let me sight it in. Otherwise they would have kicked me out.

Reduce penalties for out of state gun owners?
Apparently they care about bad press and nasty calls from other AGs over American Citizens being thrown into Jersey jails. This is why I have been saying for years that one of our avenues of approach must be to embarrass and humiliate Jersey on the national stage as much as possible. I don't know what the deal is with Christie now, not sure if that window closed or is still open pending the progress of Trump's campaign. At least they don't have to remove a wall for him anymore, he can get through a window. We need to turn this into a national circus and embarrassment. It will not only pressure some Jersey politicians but the spectacle will inform Jersey subjects how much different they are from everybody else in the country. That is the key, as I have said from Day 1. Most Jerseyans are only anti by default, not dyed in the wood. I've had discussions and relationships with about 30 Jersey antis over the past 8 years. From coworkers, to clients, to family, to friends, and maybe 1 of them didn't improve their outlook on firearms once they came to realize that firearms are NORMAL, regardless of good or bad. The majority of these people come to me with questions about guns from time to time now. Where as 8 years ago they would not have dared to listen to a gun owner. The problem with Jersey is IGNORANCE. Plain and simple. It is an antiquated state about 30 years behind the times. Most people who live there have no idea how people in America live their lives, and I am not just talking about guns.

I seem to remember they had concentric front and rear circular sights.

Burger King hot dogs
Try Yocco's. They have hot Texas wieners. Seriously. I don't know what BK does, but the average burger is just ground beef. I don't consider that processed food. Most commercial bacon comes out of a chemistry set. I don't care what's on it, it always gets a dab of ketchup. Dirty Harry can bite me.

Action News “Arming Yourself Against the Active Shooter”
They can't ignore it. Carry is just too common nowadays. They try to ignore it, but they have to address it in token measure if they want ratings. This has been happening with notable frequency for about 5 years and is increasing. It's a very positive thing. Unfortunately, people in North Jersey still never hear about this stuff.

Action News “Arming Yourself Against the Active Shooter”
You have over a hundred feet on me. Go Eagles! This is really not new. There has been a lot of news out of PA, including Philly, about people carrying guns and getting into conflicts. On Philly TV or 69 out of Lehigh Valley. For the past 5 years it has been increasing. This provides awareness to Jersey residents and is of great value. Most people in Jersey think you can carry a gun if you live in Texas. Instead of 47 states. Most people that get NY programming never see the stuff.

NYC Slashings
This is not new. NYC is the only place where you can have 40 people on a subway car and one person can beat the brains out of a victim with a hammer and nobody will do ANYTHING. Twice. That I know of. I know NJ sucks, and NJ has a lot of sheep, but I have personally seen NJ people stand up and do the right thing. You won't get that in NYC.

PA CO charged with carrying a gun in NJ
Somehow I think I won't be able to figure it out until after I am appointed to the jury and learn all the facts Breathing over the age of 18 is an automatic qualifier.

If You Carry A Gun In America
Don't worry, you are certainly smarter than all the people that trained me, and continue to do so. Through no experience nor study whatsoever, your simple ego and intellect will always lead you to the proper course of action by default.

Sarco will always surprise me
They are nice. They tried to sell me a Suomi drum for $150. The guy at the desk shook his head after he had to look up the price. We had a good laugh. Some of their kits are OK if you want a quick buy and not interested in buying private. But the golden days of surplus are over.

If You Carry A Gun In America
You made one mistake. You admitted murder, and identified yourself as the perpetrator. Believe it or not, not admitting you murdered someone, in self defense or otherwise, no matter how obvious you think it looks, might get you home in time for breakfast and throw things into limbo for a little while as your lawyer gets to work. Also, a self defense claim can limit your options, and you will always give out baggage to support it. And, the cops will write down your statement however they want or what is on their mind at the time. When they get it wrong, or lie, it is always to your detriment. Either say you are exercising your 5th and 4th Amendment rights and say nothing else or go with Ayoob's advice of pointing out evidence. There is no need to say you killed someone. And NEVER answer a question, you waive your rights. You can still shut up, but it provides a line of evidence to Probable Cause if you answer ANY question and then stop. Even, "Are you OK?"

Would You Sell One Gun To Buy Another?
I dumped my Jersey AR when I moved to PA. With the money going to a replacement.

24 Hour Hold?? Required by FFL Who Received My Warranty Replacement Pistol Direct from the Manufacturer??
A pistol purchase permit does not require an FFL. I answered your question, I guess you can't answer mine. It's exactly like I said. I still don't know about Jersey. Hope I don't need to.

24 Hour Hold?? Required by FFL Who Received My Warranty Replacement Pistol Direct from the Manufacturer??
I said in my post you quoted, that I did not know about Jersey. You later asked me where it said that in the ATF document. I showed you. It's exactly like I said. And I don't know about New Jersey, as I said. Now, why don't you show me where it says that in Jersey statutes or regulations?

Search "replacement." You will get three hits. None of them require the same SN.

So do I. They should let me go, too.

It says in there no 4473 and no NICS for a replacement firearm. You guys had me second guessing myself a bit but I'm almost certain replacements can be shipped to your house. Like I said, I'm pretty sure I know of people that did it. Perhaps not in Jersey for some reason.

Post creepy stuff!
There was a family that was close with our family since I was a toddler. Everybody knows how that works. For various reasons we lost touch over the years some of the time, but caught up here and there. And still have a great relationship. Well, they got divorced about 15 years ago. This is not new info, we are in contact with them. The ex-husband died several years ago at the age of 59. A friend took his dog in. She died when she turned 59. Her family took in the dog. Then, on the verge of the ex-wife's 59th birthday, they asked if she would take the dog. She declined.
