For the salesmen out there
I'm in service, but that's about it.

Speed Strip?
I always wanted a Ruger mkII and finally bought a mkIII. I was execting nightmares, but it actually wasn't bad. Personally loading the mags was way WAY more annoying. I don't need any tools beyond a paperclip to disassemble...no need for the mallet. I bought a speed loader and think Ruger should include one with each sale...they're that good.

Government Drops Blessing on 850,000 Garands/Carbines
Funny, seems like gun control advocates are 180 degrees out of synch...unless you're afraid of thousands of people reaching the point of armed insurection with antiques. Their better idea is to burn and melt them and give them money for nothing tangible at all...I feel so much better.

3-year-old discharged officer's gun in shooting, injured 3
Let the child handle it, but forgot to clear the chamber?

isn't right, but I got to wondering...
Another example of why pepper spray trucks should precede funerals. Protesting funerals goes further than bad taste, it should be illegal. Protest before, protest afterwards, but not at a funeral.

.22LR Question
Yeah, not a mile. Skipping up off the ground should be considered though, especially at slight angles.

.22LR Question
How far it would go after hitting anything isn't really predictable. The obvious is to look at what you're shooting at and what is beyond it. If you wouldn't shoot in that direction with no varmint, then you shouldn't be shooting at one in that direction. That goes along with shooting over water, what's off in the distance that will get hit.

Collecting or Business?
except the ATF is cracking down on collectors getting an FFL just to enhance personal collections and ability to buy for self at cost from dealers. If you are a gun dealer, you have alot of responsibility... who is going to take it more seriously, joe blow collector with an FFL or someone whose livelihood depends on it. I don't even have a clue about the requirements for getting an FFL. I wouldn't have thought it was a big problem for/with collectors, but I really don't know. I realize that the feds have other thoughts in mind when someone gets a dealer license, specifically arming for a government overthrow or some such. Going to get an FFL with NO intention of using it for it's intended purpose wasn't on my mind.

what kind of bullets to use?
Two things. One, if it's cheap enough and works, why not use the cheap stuff and keep up on cleaning? Two, if you own a Bentley, or any car or motorcycle that runs fine on regular without knocking....then run it on regular. Additives make some brand names of gasoline better than others gunk build-up wise, but octane is a different story. Sorry, that gas analogy is one of my pet peeves.

What do I need to reload?
I'd like to be included in those few if it comes to fruition.
-
Collecting or Business?
I think there are some advantages to getting an FFL. Sure there's a fee to make up and all the things you have to consider when starting a business, but... If you plan on selling I think you can buy without tax because you're selling and paying tax then. You don't have the same restrictions of purchase as someone just collecting. If you are a huge collector maybe it would make sense to get an FFL, I don't know.

Ground Zero Imam is Sen Menendez's friend + accused slumlord
As soon as Menendez opened his mouth about it I knew there had to be some connection. I hope Menendez is enjoying his last post as an elected official of any kind. There's a difference between breaking or not breaking laws and having integrity. Menendez, in my opinion, is disingenuous in most of his public views and just plain out of touch with common sense with the rest. In fact, there's a good reason why he shouldn't agree with Obama on every single vote he's made even if he really does agree. The simple fact that NJ gets less money back from the feds than any other state means that he shouldn't agree until he gets something for our state. He's obviously too busy figuring out things for his own benefit to stop and bargain for NJ.

I'm sure it would be tasty if sliced 1/2" thick and grilled with some choice herbs.

Congrats Anastasia
Congrats, it's nice to get recognition for your work. My daughter would love that hat. My tactical 5" may require an alteration to the cozy.

Speedometer thrown off
Use a GPS to verify your speed and note your tach at that speed. That can get you in the ballpark (if you have a tach), or just keep a GPS going for true speed. If you happen to have an electronic speedometer, they make black boxes to correct them. Just a couple ideas for future reference, sorry about your ticket. I agree with the lawyer idea too. They would most likely request the radar unit's current calibration certificate.

DWM?
Anyone else thinking what I'm thinking? That's right, time to change the drivers exam.

OIL !!!!
WD-40 is a metal eater you can use Gun lubes or regular motor oil. Yeah, I was upset when I sprayed down many of my tools in the garage a few years ago, only to find exactly what I was trying to prevent happening to everything that wasn't chromed.

WTF, I think I won an Election.
You don't have to do a financial disclosure, and you only represent your district's republicans. Essentially, your neighbors. There are only about 1000 republicans in my district I believe. You have a counterpart democrat, who may live next door or you may not know at all or ever meet. If anyone is interested there may be an open position in your district. It's one step above just voting. If you are a regular republican club member you could also volunteer to be a challenger at the poles to keep Canadians (or zombies not from your town) from voting. At a minimum I hope that everyone plans on voting, I'll beg if it'll help. Working the poles is a paid position which may or may not be available.

WTF, I think I won an Election.
Is it a wonder that the Dems are in charge there....what the heck? I thought info was hard to come by in Ocean County. Even looking at the Rep party web site and seeing $175 or something to join!? This isn't pay to play, they're supposed to want members.
