Woodland Park Range
3rd trip in three weeks, great place, had a nice Italian combo to finish up my day. I highly suggest doubling up on the ear protection when AR's are in action.

+1 for Ottomanelli's Sporting Arms
Popped in after some range time next door, picked up two 10 rounder's for my ATI STG 44 (22 lr). they had a great selection of just about everything. unfortunately no 1911 mainspring plungers....which fly pretty far when disassembling the MSH.

Warning order for all of those still registerd as Republicans
Heads up, just go a call from www.ChristieforNJ.com looking for a donation. Caller was touting Christie's record, I said " Until Christie comes out publically, as a strong 2nd Amendment supporter, and uses what power hew has to look at the assembly insulting attitude towards NJ citizens last week, he would not get any support or money from me." She continued on the script, how about $50 or $35 dollars in support (down from $100) I said no again, she responded " you and I may not agree on everything or hold the same beliefs, but his record is proof" I ended the call with her. Do we have an opportunity here for NJ2AS to sponsor a "luncheon with Christie", I would gladly contribute to that, if it included an open ( video taped forum) on our concerns as citizens. any thoughts on how much money would need to be on table for this?

Take a Look at your Credit Card statements
Heads up everyone, had my credit card compromised for a large amount of money. I use a separate credit card for all online shopping, and I recently donated money to the NRA and SAF, ordered items from brownells, GCA, and Windham. I have no evidence of how my credit card was compromised, but these vendors are new (less than 10-15 days) to this credit card of mine. This same credit card has been used countless times online and in person, over the last few years with no issues. I've started the fraud process with card issuer, but I wanted to give a heads up to everyone, that there may be a new problem out there. With all the craziness of the last few weeks to do with firearms and accessories; and that all of these vendors are firearm related; and it seems suspicious. In no way what so ever, am I Implying these vendors have been compromised as I have no facts, other than my own dilema, and I am not starting finger pointing. just concerned and thought I would share this. The other suspicious factor is that a package showed up on my doorstep today containing an expensive saltwarter reel, that I did not order from a boating/fishing vendor I have never done business with.

Fair Lawn Pistol & Rifle Club
Hit a brick wall with fairlawn too. bascially was tol if not a competitor, the wait list was pretty long. I thought ridgewood or glen rock had thier own range for residents? Waldwick does I believe. It seems many of the towns in that area have small ranges (tax payer funded/police), but do not allow thier residents to use it. I think it would be great for the towns that have them to embrace their residents whom want to shoot at the existing ranges. Cherry rIdge is one of the few options. out there.

PSA Hot Water Heaters and Mixing Valves
PSA Start...... When your hot water tank goes around its 8-9 year birthday, and you shut it off to prevent further leakage.... You also turn off all showers ( cold shower) using mixing valves....... I.e. if you thought you could take a cold shower, until the plumber replaces the hot water heater, you can't +1 to PSEG for replacing it in 50 minutes flat the next business day.

39: 4-36 ticket in ridgewood, NJ
Appreciate all the advice, I'll compile our options. In New York State, (Not NYC) it was pretty simple, speeding ticket or other minor traffic issue, plead not guilty and speak to the officer at court before called, and they would reduce it to avoid points, town got its money and driver left paying a fine and the double the amount in court costs. No points

39: 4-36 ticket in ridgewood, NJ
Hello, Being a transplant to NJ, how do these tickets work? I grew up in Orange county, NY and you could "negotiate" with the officer at court before it started. Usually resulted in a "broken speedometer or emergency brake cable and a small fine and no points. My wife got a ticket saturday and it looks like it is $130 fine and 2 points. Is there an option at or before court, or should we just pay it and send her to defensive driving? thanks TripCarl

NY to NJ Handgun Transfer- Inherited/Gifted
Amen to that, just trying to avoid the the one gun a month restrictions and overnight shipping costs as one local FFL (NY) wanted 75-100 for each gun sent to NJ and the NJ FFL wanted another 50 for the transfer (total distance less than 30 miles). Which is more than was paid for some these handguns orginally by my father in-law. I'll reach out again to the local PD and FFL and if we can work it out. thanks

NY to NJ Handgun Transfer- Inherited/Gifted
Thanks for the input, I spoke to my local PD ( firearms officer) and they were unsure if the exemption process was appropiate for this. even after spekaing with his superiors they were not sure if it was a legitamate use of the exemption policy. Other wise it would be a transfer fee every 33 days for the one gun a month law. good to know we could a least avoid the overnight shipping costs. I'll reach out to Mastadon, since they are local to see if he will do it. appreciate it the assistance.

NY to NJ Handgun Transfer- Inherited/Gifted
Trying to find out some accurate reference material or persons for this . I have spoken to Local FFLs and PD and the answer is not clear. My father in-law wants to gift me his handguns. He is a NY State resdident (and retired NYC PD) and the handguns in question are on his permit for NY. Since I am not purchasing these handguns, do I need to Permits to Purchase? NY-NJ transfer via ffl is not realistic as it i is multiple handguns and we do not want to have to pay transfer and shipping fees when our homes are less than 40 minutes apart. Also, the handguns in question are very nice collectibles and relatively rare these days. ( S prefix 44 Mag (S&W), orginal S&W model 39, model 10s from the sixties, and other gems ). The overall question is how can he transfers these to me with out the costs of FFL transfers and that if I am questioned down the road that chain of custody is clear. Allowing them to be removed from his permit and I possess them Leaglly in NJ? thanks

Home Defense knives
Hard to beat a Ka-Bar, still american made and affordable. Unless you have the newer USMC ka-bar/bayonet which can be fixed shotgun after it runs dry.

Wilson Combat Stands behind it products
Bought a pair of their 47D mags for my 1911 a few years ago. About 1 year ago, one of the base-pads cracked and broke. they sent me a new one once I contacted them. Fast Forward to 2 weeks ago, the other mag's base-pad cracked and broke off while firing my 1911 at CR. No injury or dropped ammo. I contacted them and they sent me 2 new ones. Other than the base-pads cracking and breaking no other issues. Great to do business with a company that stands behind its products.
