vladtepes - that's hilarious!!! where did you get that? I like how the Glock is listed as "AK47" :icon_lol: :icon_lol: :icon_lol:

I never get called. and if I do, I follow the "lunker protocol" - hang up if no one starts speaking right away. Also, the uncommon spelling of my relatively common name throws people off, so I always know if a stranger is calling.

you may keep a print out handy in the car of an address/info of a range in PA to bolster that claim. that was my thought

I think those go hand in hand. your choices of tactics depend on available weaponry and vice versa. and isn't "thread mutation" a common occurrence anyway?

fun thread... my choices are limited to the PX4 and the Mossberg no matter what (light/heavy/medium) as I eventually expand my collection (hopefully before the zombie hordes come) that'll change. what Ben said is important, tactics, more than tools are the key to survival... and as we discussed in another thread - using old people as zombie bait...

Nick, have you been there? is it very "Country Western"? how about this band Trippin' Carla? anyone seen them? I done did some googlin' and they seem like a versatile cover band. I think we may have a winner for next Saturday nite

thanks guys! I'll take any suggestions.... it doesn't have to be anything. local bands, cover bands, a DJ spinning Rock music - just not the "Top 40" type of crap... the wifey, she likes industrial metal - NIN, Rammstein, stuff like that. I like the classic rock and old heavy metal. we both like '90s alternative. we were never "goth vampire wannabees" or anything like that I looked at the Starland web site. can't go wrong with a place that hosts Bad Religion & Atreyu. Red Bank is nice, we've taken a walk through the town a while back ate at a nice pizza place, etc. but it's more in your neighborhood, Chris - too far a drive for a date (but not too far to purchase firearms ) my incentive here is: I'll take her out dancing, she'll be more receptive to coming with me to shoot. I want her at least familiar enough with the PX4 to use it in an HD situation if god forbid it becomes necessary.

We haven't lived in NJ for too long and weren't "young and childless" in this area - so we're not familiar with Rock venues around here. Other than say the "Stone Pony" are there any clubs in NJ (Central NJ especially) that play Rock music? preferably not that "emo" stuff that the Hot Topic kids listen to these days, but the older stuff... Maybe like Metallica or Rammstein ... or a bit lighter, like Nirvana or Chili Peppers or whatnot... am I asking for too much? The wifey has been dying to "go out and dance" for some time now, so I gotta oblige. Thanks guys!

thanks, PK. that's what I was confused about. I figured an FFL would know so if I go to a gun shop in PA, I could just walk out with a longarm. wait... "duh" on my part... Glenn got his over under at Cabela's like a month ago....

yes, but it has to go through a FFL in NJ, as I understand it. http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/9657-firearm-purchasing-requirements-as-it-applies-to-nj-resident/

so the Mossberg gets an "Ooh-rah"!

after the update of the forum, not all threads come up when you search. there was a whole Mossberg vs. Remington battle before and a Benelli vs. Mossberg thread. I went with Mossberg partly because of price. I have a 500 (much like Nick's) with a 18.5" bbl(and a 28" bbl for clays) with a Knoxx SpecOps stock. to me, Mossberg 500 is a good, affordable solution. Benellis run quite a bit more expensive, but if you can easily afford it, it may be a slightly better shotgun.

it's a nice conversation "piece" to have hanging out when the in-laws come over for dinner, for example...

thanks, Nick! I was gonna chime in on that I do love my Knoxx SpecOps stock. it's comfy and reduces recoil real nice, makes follow up shots easy to stay on target and less pain in the shoulder. what you can do if you're looking to go that route is just get the cheapest stock option available (like pistol grip only) and buy the SpecOps stock and change it out - it's pretty easy to do.

welcome! you'll meet them next time

welcome!

I was grinning also....

my vote just made it 50.45% in our favor! keep it going, guys!

a nominal charge to cover expenses and some training is fine by me. someone before said, the machines for fingerprinting don't run themselves and trainers don't work for free. if you want to exercise your free speech rights and publish a book - you have to pay a publisher to print it. if you go to church/synagogue/whatever - you're often asked to pay a tithe. nominal fees are understandable - around $ 50 - 100 per year would be reasonable. we're in NJ after all, so to hope for a lower fee is unreal. constant psych evaluations are unreasonable. a $500 "just because" fee is ridiculous.

I think this point has been stated and over stated, but can't be stated enough! there's no gov't fee for practicing your faith or speaking freely or any of the Constitutional guarantees. I, like most on this forum feel: what part of "shall not be infringed" is unclear?!?!?!?! but our gov't has been hijacked and the US Constitution is ignored at will, especially in NJ.

and that's the most ridiculous thing about "gun control" (as we all know and have repeated it so many times) - "bad people" don't care about the law... magazine capacity, CCW, "evil features" - to a crazy or a criminal or a terrorist - they don't matter. +1 Open Carry like a NJ COWBOY!!! yeeeee - haw!!!

that's how it feels to me....dirty. after whatever fees the township governments tack on, it could easily be $1k per year. sure you can't put a price on your or your family's safety, but that's just extortion done by the government (nothing new here)

I only read the Onion rag when I used to work in NYC - it was free in those boxes on the corner. so for a free rag I guess I found them amusing enough to flip through. I've never watched the ONN, but your points are valid fellas - their humor is a bit asinine. what bothered me is that it certainly leans in a particular direction (at least according to that video) - which is the opposite direction from the one we're leaning towards.

crappy picture because I forgot to charge my camera battery and this was taken on my phone, but here were are at the parade staging area.

why do you hate the Onion so much? liberal agenda? I find it amusing... you just can't take them seriously...
