I hope I'm not posting something that's been here before. If it was I couldn't find it. This guy wasn't gonna take it.

The gun worked perfectly. It's an SP101 in 22LR. She shot very well. She shot about 200 rounds on the night she went by herself. Only ten or twelve shots missed center mass.

So... awhile ago my daughter decided that she wanted a .22 revolver of her own. We shopped around and she bought a Ruger. When she bought it, it was kinda late and she didn't get a chance to shoot it that night. Now, she's a busy kid with two jobs and working on her Masters degree. So, it took a while before she made a trip to the range with my wife. Next thing I know she calls to tell us that she went to the range, by herself, and "by the way, I bought a range membership while I was there". Makes a dad proud. I'm proud of her for lots of reasons but I thought this was really cool.

I was pleased to read about this. I keep saying that school security should be the first priority. I would add a security portal and issue each school employee a 'panic button'. These would be similar to the 'medical alert' type call buttons. Both measures would cost a few bucks but it shouldn't be too bad. The security portal could be simple.It would only have to prevent open access to the classrooms.

I'm concerned. That was pretty shady stuff that they pulled in NY. What I don't understand is how any rational thinking person can believe that the difference between a 7 round magazine and a 10 round magazine will really make a difference. Honestly.... how many people actually gave a sigh of relief and said "now I feel safer". I understand politicians doing it and then pointing to it and saying "see what we did?". Makes 'em look like they did 'something'. What a tragedy that these people were elected to represent the people. I know this is largely a reaction to the Sandy Hook tragedy. In that light where are the measures to increase school security? There's some stuff that could be implemented rather quickly. It would mean spending money but that would be the real test of how sincere the politicians are. I was wondering about the NY law and how it relates to revolvers. Would my 10 shot S&W 617 be banned?

Saw this article about proposed Wyoming legislation concerning any federal gun laws. Not sure how effective it would be but it would sure make a loud statement. http://k2radio.com/wyoming-lawmakers-propose-gun-protection-legislation/

Welcome! I live in Millville also (and my name is Ron). I don't recall how long it took for Millville PD to do my FID but I don't think it was more than four weeks. Of course that was some time ago. I think the longest wait I've had for a handgun permit was five weeks.

I did watch one of his shows that made me pay a little attention. Don't remember all the details but the jist was that the Illuminati were building a 'command center' for running the world after an apocalypse of their own making, I think it was in the Ozarks. He did show a huge castle-like building and a bunch of underground facilities. They also mentioned that the local town had gone from one bank that had been the only one in town for years to a multitude of banks. The 'castle' owner was some guy who had a connection to defense contracts. He showed some interesting stuff but I couldn't come to any conclusions from it. It was kinda interesting. Most of his shows are way too far out for me.

My '68 Dodge Super Bee. Original 63K mile car with numbers matching 383/Torqueflite. Car was built in the LA plant on April 26, 1968 and sold new in Great Falls, Montana. I've owned it for 19 years.

Welcome. Maybe I'll run into you at Bob's someday.

Can't be sure. Photo shows a person laying on the ground with facial injuries.

A friend sent this to me as an e-mail. I haven't seen it posted here so... Sighting in your expensive new deer rifle: 1. Shiny new, high-powered deer rifle............$1,200.00 2. Quality, high-powered scope.................. ......$550.00 3. Bore sighting device.....................................$140.00 4. Forgetting to remove the bore sighting device prior to actually firing the rifle...............Priceless! 5. Hospital Visit................................$14,893.00 (I didn't include the photo of the shooter)

I must really be an old fart. I noticed the girl but was more interested in the guns. At least the guns in this show were more interesting, to me, than the majority of guns in "Sons of Guns". I'll give it a few more episodes to see if it's worth my time.

I've been watching this show since the first season. My Mom remembers Nucky Johnson (Nucky Thompson in the show) and my great grandfather was very involved in Atlantic County politics during that era, so it's really been interesting to me. I really like the show.

Good luck. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I have a 617 10 round and it's probably my favorite gun. We also have a 686 and the feel is identical (to me)except for the recoil, of course.

All I can add is the next gun on my list which is a Colt .38 revolver Not very imaginative next to some others, but I'd really like to have one.

Christie is quickly becoming a dictator. When he speaks, there isn't a thing he says that I believe. Sooner or later he's gonna make a pitch to take our guns away. When he does he'll find a way to do it by 'Executive Order'. He'll probably find some loophole about 'public safety'. I'm tellin' ya, he scares the crap out of me with the way he does things. As far as budget cuts, it sounds like a great idea. I'll bet ya a dollar that we'll not see any reduction in our taxes. Look at the details with this budget. He made cuts but he increased spending in favored areas. An example of abudget cut: The Vineland Developmental Center was scheduled to be closed. It costs us a lot of tax money to run a place like that, but can you turn your back on those people who live there? They have no means to survive in the world and most have lived there for many years. The workers there will have tough time finding a job with the training they have. Workers like this aren't putting a big chunk of their paycheck away for the future. They probably spend most of what they make. They spend it to buy goods and services from the rest of us. When they can't buy from us, we end up with less to spend on what we want or need. Any time you close services like this, you lose jobs and that results in less money being spent in the economy. We all get hurt if our taxes don't go down significantly. When I say 'down', I mean down a lot. Suppose Christie stands up in front of a TV camera and says "every tax payer in NJ will get a $500 tax cut this year". People will be slapping him on the back saying "oooo' and aaah". You can only imagine how he would crow about that. It would be great political ammo wouldn't it? Now think about the reality of what that $500 would do for you. How significant would that $500 be in your spending habits? It sounds good but the fact is, it won't make up for customers that don't buy your goods or services. It might do a little for the economy but it won't make up for those lost jobs. I'm not saying that we shouldn't cut spending. This state does stupid things like letting people take a government job while collecting a pension for a different government job. State construction projects are good things because there again, the money that workers earn gets spent in the economy. However some of the projects are so damn ridiculous. One such project is the job at rt 49 and rt 55. There would typically be a backup on rt55, during the summer months, on Friday nights. The backup would essentially shut down one lane of 55 for two hours or so. The project not only adds the third lane but changes rt 49 from one lane to two lanes eastbound for about 1/4 mile. All those cars end up in the same one lane they used before. By the way, most of that traffic is out of state traffic headed for the shore.Not only that but they extended the job to include an area to the west which never sees any affect from the shore traffic. So, for the sake of a two hour backup on maybe 12 Friday nights, the state is spending $10 million. They say "well, it's grant money". Yeah, grant money from a public question that we passed. It's still tax payer money. If they can borrow from funds like pensions and unemployment, then borrow from these funds too. At least spend it on projects for NJ taxpayers. I don't have all the answers. I wish I did, I'd run for office. I don't trust any of these people. I think we need to "clean house" and dump some of these 'sweetheart' deals. I read this forum because I like guns. I don't read it for political issues and I wish that political topics didn't exist here. However, I've been quiet for too long and I had to speak up.

I was sitting there waiting to get blood work done and I happened to notice this sign on the door. I could see that it had a silhouette of a revolver inside a circle with a slash... On my way out, I read the notice that had some words saying it was against their rules to bring a gun on their premises. I Googled this and it's apparently on LabCorp doors in many states. Seems kinda unnecessary in NJ since we can't legally carry (most of us, anyway)and if your carrying illegally I don't think this sign would have much affect. I'm sure it's a corporate policy. I just don't recall seeing a notice like this on any business in my area.

I saw this story from the NBC affiliate in LA. They're saying it was a Sig P226. NBC report

Welcome from another South Jersey guy.

I'll take two. Both XXL, one tan and one black. Can use PayPal

I bought a Sig P226 as a 22LR, then bought the 9MM conversion. It worked out a little cheaper that way. Of course, I bought all new stuff and 22 conversions for the Sigs can be found used, usually at some savings.

I've been knitting holsters for a long time. Nice to know that I'll have a chance to discuss design, yarn choice, etc.
