Unions fill deptford mall
1. There appears to me to be a very strong pro-Marxist sentiment that the unions exist to provide an able, honest, hard-working person with a liveable wage. Or, rather that every able, honest, hard-working person should earn a liveable wage simply because they are able, honest, and hard-working. I'm don't know much about Marxism but that strikes me as exactly the goals of Marxism. There seems to be a sentiment that wages should rise to meet the needs of the workers. This flies in the face of Capitalism where the employee wants to earn as much as he's able to while the employer seeks to minimize labor costs as much they're able to. 2. Early in my career I was working on a special project at Squibb as an outside specialist. We used Squibb's facility but we weren't allowed to weigh anything. All weighing had to be done by a union employee. Part of our job was to fill vials with drug. To ensure a uniform and consistent fill, we checked the fill weights every 15 minutes. So, every 15 minutes the union people would weigh a vial and tell us how much it weighed. After 4 hours of this we were almost done. With 5 minutes to go and one last weight check to perform, the union people announced they were going on break. We said, wait 5 minutes and we'll be finished. They said they couldn't wait, it was break time and that was that. We sure as hell weren't going to wait an hour for their return so I weighed the last vial myself. Oh, the repercussions that caused and proved to me the perversion of unions from their original purpose. We also weren't allowed to use any tools as per union rules so we hid screwdrivers and wrenches in our pants.

Selling handgun to out of state resident. Can I ship?
Exactly what PK90 said, You're responsibility is to get to the FFL. After that, it's up to the out of state FFL to verify whatever needs to be verified.

On my way to Florida for a short visit...
Lots of planes don't even have in-flight entertainment. I flew to Texas last week. No TV. No movie. Nothing. I've got a pile of free headphones from the airlines. Way back when, the movies were free on the overhead screens but they charged you for the headphones to listen. Now, that there is seat back entertainment and most people have their own headphones, they charge for content. Every time I've flown international, the entertainment is free.

.357 Auto?? hey now S&W!
I took a quick look at Glock.com for the Glock model 22. No mention of S&W. It's just a .40 caliber cartridge. Same thing with .45 ACP. Lots of manufacturers call it 45 Auto.

I have a few Hypothetical questions
If the gun was not named in the will or part of the official estate then one could argue the gun was "on loan" to his father and now is returned to the rightful owner since the only paper trail begins and ends with the purchase receipt. If it was part of the estate documentation, then the son would have to follow inheritance laws for guns which in NJ is you take ownership as long as you are not a prohibited person in which case you'd have 180 days to get an FID or sell the gun. If you legally inherit a gun while you are a non-NJ resident that would be the same thing as purchasing a gun as a non-NJ resident. Non NJ residents moving into NJ can bring their guns when they move to NJ. There is no need to register the gun.

PSA order fail
Messed up my order but quickly corrected it after I emailed them. It's not the mistakes that happen but how a company responds to them. PSA is a-ok in my book.

Girlfriend using my gun for home protection?
Pete is not a troll. He's just confusing Nappen's exaggerated rhetoric for reality. Woodtoe is spot on with his post above. Nappen is merely making an absurd point to show the absurdity of NJ's laws. Personally, I think it does more harm than good. It serves to confuse some people and make them think that every family member needs their own gun for home defense. Another thing: An aggressive prosecution of an illegal transfer for a family member using another family member's gun for a clean home defense shooting would result in exactly the opposite of what NJ would want. It would turn the average person against the State's Draconian gun laws and make it much easier to loosen them. 99% of the NJ citizens would be up in full support for a wife shooting a potential rapist with her husband's gun if she was prosecuted for some absurd transfer within the home law. The prosecutor and laws would be changed rather quickly to remedy that.

Zombie virus low-79
Obama has 3 or 4 look alike body doubles. Obama never leaves the secret command center under the White House. His body doubles are the ones that travel. That's why the Secret Service guards party with hookers when they're guarding a look alike.

New Arizona Bill Aims To Instate Armed Militia on Border
The Constitution prohibits the states from engaging foreign countries or dealing with immigration issues. Ironically, State rights is what NJ invokes to control CCW and gun rights. You can't pick and choose what state rights you want; it cuts both ways.

followup to Bedside thread that drifted a bit...
I'm more concerned of a ND than needing to save the 2 seconds to rack the slide. I feel safest with a loaded mag and an empty barrel. You have to do what you feel is best for you.

New Arizona Bill Aims To Instate Armed Militia on Border
It's the United States' border. States don't have borders with foreign countries. That is what the whole debate is about. Can a state take action that is reserved to the federal government if the federal government is not doing its duty.

The question is: Is it Constitutional for a state militia to patrol the federal border?

Need a New Washing Machine
You can insist that the old-fashioned technology is better but lots of people on this thread have real-life experience with the new front loaders and recommend them. Good luck with your laundry.

New shotgun or AR?
This is why I have an AR and no shotgun. I just don't see me shooting a shotgun or having any fun with it.

Need a New Washing Machine
Because spinning is stressful to the fabric. You can spin towels and jeans faster as they are more durable and hold more water. Dress shirts and delicate items you want treat gentler. Clothes wear out in the laundry. What do you think all that lint is on the dryer filter?

Need a New Washing Machine
The front loaders spin faster than the top loader agitator style of washer. It sounds like a helicopter taking off in my laundry room. Faster spin cycle means more water is removed during the spin cycle and therefore, shorter drying times using less energy/costs. We never use hot water in the washing machine. Modern detergents are designed to work in warm or cold water.

Spotting scope for under $80 (suggestions)
I have the Barska. Like I said, it's great at 50 yards fine for up to 100 yards. Not fine for 300yards.

Spotting scope for under $80 (suggestions)
I have a scope that I got in the bargain basement at Cabela's up in Hamburg. It cost $50, normally $90. It's great at 50 yards. functional at 100. No way it would be usable at 300yds.

ar newbie
What do you mean by "pushing it"? How much difference is there using a 77grain bullet at 100yd with a red dot between 1:7 and 1:9 twist? I've never shot anything that heavy from my AR; just 55 and 62 grain bullets.
