The other Sandy& generators
Seems like a long time ago and the BS dealing with that storm, and my sympothies for those hit hard & still dealing with the fallout. Remember THE hot topic was generators, all and everything about them? Was wondering who actually followed thru with doing something. I myself finally just finished my project. I got a good sized portable Rigid (for the yamaha engine), ran a 30 amp backfeed to my breaker panel with a Interlock switch kit from a exterior inlet and- to be really sure- ran a natural gas line adjacent to that inlet. Installed a tri-fuel conversion kit on the gen so I am ready to rumble! Was a fair amount of work with splicing into the black pipe and running it thru the basement and crawlspace to the exterior and re-routing some of the circuits in the sevice panel. I got lernd real good on all sorts of usefull/not usefull info in the process. Wasnt cheap but many thousands of $$$ less expensive than a stand-by stationary unit. Also helps when you do it yourself. I am all in at $2K even. That is all inclusive from permits to the first few gals of gas to break-in the genny. Heres a list of mat'ls I used get it done, maybe forgetting something but: -generator -25' 30amp ext. power cord -15' 3/4 ng hose & quick-disconnects(pia to find) -ext. 30 amp inlet -asst'd black pipe/fittings/valve -50' 30 amp wire to sevice panel -Interlock kit w 30 amp breaker - tri-fuel conversion kit And since it'll spend most if not all its running time using ng I can place it in my detached garage. close the door & window leaving open a bit for ventilation and we barely hear it. So chances are its just a insurence policy and wont need it for 10 fkng days next time but after dealing with my wife, daughter and handicapped mom-never again! Any question ask, maybe i'll know the answer.

Has the fever broken?
Fever is gone for me. Next few days I'll be 2K richer in 9mm. Wasnt expecting it tho. Ordered 1K fron Cabelas at .30 rd, not too happy on the price but considering, whatever. Didnt check my email for a few days and got a note from Sportsmans Guide my order shipped arriving Sat.. WTF-what order? they havnt had anything in months? Turns out its a back order from Feb 1! I forgot all about after 3 months. A case of S&B for $228 shipped. Funny- I remember being pissed about that price back then too! I'll believe it when I see it.

FINALLY-COMMON SENSE!(+ANJRPC update)
Fast forward to the literal bottem line of S2721 gor some thing good New Jersey's Premier Second Amendment Organization ~ Defending Freedom Since 1936 SENATE COMMITTEE PASSES REMAINING BILLS 3 Bills Dropped From Agenda 2 Gun Owner Protection Bills Passed The Fight is Far from Over – Keep Calling Legislators After a 2-hour hearing yesterday (May 2) that was considerably less heated than the April 30 hearing, the Senate Law & Public Safety Committee passed all 7 pieces of gun legislation that were before it. Three bills were dropped from the agenda, and two significant gun owner protection bills were passed. Several of the bills from both hearings have been placed on the agenda for a Senate Budget Committee hearing on Thursday, May 9, where Senate leadership has indicated it intends to make limited amendments in response to concerns raised at the hearings. Then, it is anticipated that the entire package of bills will be heard by the full Senate on Monday, May 13. Anything that passes will then have to be reconciled in the Assembly, and bills that emerge from that process would then move to the Governor’s office. Please turn your attention away from the Senate committee and refocus your efforts on your own State Senator and Senate President Stephen Sweeney (contact information available here). Please call, email and fax repeatedly and urge them to oppose all new gun control measures. Gun owners can still impact the outcome of this process – please keep calling! Also, a major gun owner rally in Trenton is being planned for Saturday, May 11. Dropped from yesterday’s committee agenda were S2648 – possession on school grounds; S2471 – prohibits state pension investments in certain firearms companies; and S2735 – exempting tube fed .22 firearms from New Jersey’s assault firearms ban). Significantly, two gun owner protection bills were passed in response to the outcry from gun owners: S2721– clarifying "reasonable deviations” permitted when transporting firearms in New Jersey; and S2552 – protecting gun owner information from public disclosure. Here is the full list of bills that were passed in committee after this week’s hearings (note: most current versions are still not available online as this email blast was sent): S2178– Fifty Caliber ban (current version bans many handguns and rifles; grandfathering still illusory). S2723– Replaces FID card with driver’s license data strip; mandates training as condition of firearms ownership; ends all private sales; electronic reporting of ammunition sales; etc. S2718 – Mandates that State Police disclose confidential ATF trace data in violation of federal law. S2485– Suspends Second Amendment rights of citizens whose names appear on secret government lists without charge or prosecution (no due process) S2719– Dealer imprisonment for knowing straw sales; dealer license loss for intentional questionable sales; vehicle forfeiture for firearms traffickers. S2492 – Submission of mental health records to NICS database. S2430 – Creates study commission on violence S2724 – Creates school security task force S2720– Allows total numbers of FID cards and handgun purchase permits to be publicly disclosed. S2715 – Requires Dept. of Education to prepare and distribute pamphlets for parents on how to limit child exposure to media violence. S2552– Protects individual gun owner information from public disclosure. S2721 -- Clarifies definition of reasonably necessary deviation when legally transporting firearms in a motor vehicle. S2722 – Reopens window to dispose of firearms banned under New Jersey "assault” firearm law for 180 days. S2725 – Reduces penalty for airgun possession from second degree crime to third degree crime.

Suggested questions for the Westfield meeting
Thats the #1 question I keep submitting in my emails etc. It is THE overall bit of info that seems to be lacking. If they can substantiate that the good(legal) guys are causing all kinds of havoc well then they may have an argument. However I'll bet that there is a stat out there and it is so irrelevant that they "aren't aware" of that particuler info. Its all just reckless legislation w/o that fact.

Looking for a .223 range rifle...Should I even bother?
The Ruger is a 77/357 but I'm not a fan of the low 5 rd rotary mag cap. MVP's have been received well but untill 2 months ago were only optics, no buis. which didnt work for me. Now the MVP line has a 16" bull or threaded brl with sights too called the Patrol model.I'm making it my next lg buy but am waiting a little while to see if any quirks need to addressed before I get one. The sights are FO so not true buis but thats ok for me and a short sight radius as the rear sight sits forward of the scope rail but thats fine too.Remember the MVPs co-op their mags with AR15s. The traditional branded levers, especially the 357's are getting too pricy, but Rossi seems to be gaining interest with theirs which is still reasonbly priced.

9MM SGAMMO
I had asuprise UPS delivery from FM yesterday, a 500 rd box of 9 I didnt remember ordering. I remember trying a few weeks or so ago but got denied during checkout, sold out. Checked my FM acct, no order for it. But of course was on my charge acctwhen I looked at that for $155 so not too bad delivered. My saga with FM goes back further to last month when I signed up, did a "practice purchase"-lol-when a Gunbot sale for 556 popped up and you gotta move your ass fast or sold in 30 secs, and hit the commit button by mistake.I said I'd never pay more than .50 rd for 556 and just bought it for .60. So there is my 1000 rds of ammo thought I wasnt getting.Eh, its all good, have to fill the dozen ammo boxes my son got me anyway
