My only concern is how someone paid for all that on a disability pension.

any prerequisites?

I don't think the PD's should be held accountable for the delay in permits because they have other work to take care of because of the storm... The STATE should be held accountable for this.. they decided to place a system that barely works on a normal day, let alone the complete collapse of the the system when there is an emergency. Trample the rights of a few.... The state puts an unnecessary burden on the PD's, you have multiple agencies in the process which makes it extremely inconsistent unreliable and inefficient. WE did have the police escorting power crews and DPW crews all over town so they did take part in the restoration process, they also probably received 50x the normal calls per day. In fact we thanked our local PD for finally getting a power crew to our house to fix our power line that had a tree on it, it was a serious fire hazard and the power company never responded. 2 house down from me an elderly man died when a tree fell on his power line and caught the house on fire during last years storm.

Look into the noveske 18" barrels if your looking for 300 yard accuracy. They are pricey but they have completely redesigned the gas port location for better operation.

TK brought up a very good point about issuing authorities not performing their duties in terms of Permits and what not. I have zero complaints here because my PD get's it done on time, but to have people sitting around for 6+ months isn't even excusable unless of course there is some circumstance with the person applying or in this case a PD that is barely operating. I mean imagine if you worked in the private sector, had a month to complete a job that took you 2 weeks at most to do, and you took 6 months to actually do it.... You wouldn't keep that job very long. AND plenty of people work on salary and work extra hours with out being compensated to get their work done. NJ picked this system and they shouldn't be making excuses for it's short comings, these PD's should either be complaining that they don't have the resources to do it, or find someway to get them done in 30 days with out having to pretend the FBI or state is taking months to do a background check. IMO policemen represent the law. If KPD's pd can't issue permits because of this disaster then the state should be taking immediate action and advise people to temporarily use the NJSP so they can continue to represent the law. Maybe i'm just pointing out the obvious flaw that we all see with the permit system and i don't want to get into the bureaucratic BS that takes place in a PD. Now for one second just imagine if the PD's complained hard enough and they did reform the system for the worse, imagine if the state gave them 6 months to issue..... there was no reason to turn this into an us vs them thread, almost all of the responses in here could have been worded in a civil way that got your point across. The fact is your rights don't cease because of an emergency, even if the state or fed believe otherwsie, and the STATE should recognize that, they should also recognize that placing the responsibility on individual PD's is a huge short coming for any number of reasons. And yes, im smoking crack. .

The problem i foresee, IF they do put this into action, while they can't touch your personal savings already in a 401 or IRA. They can do what ever they want with the money being dumped into the NEW gov. pension system. They can barely run the SS system, how do they expect to throw another system in place when one is already being mismanaged? I mean, do they really think this stuff through? I would trust a 401 in a failing economy before i gave my money to the government to manage. IF SS was actually working this wouldn't even be an issue.

Actually, its to opposite in some ways. Believe it or not but conservatives removed Thomas Jefferson from the history books. The largest district dictates what is included in text books, and TEXAS has the biggest district....loophole. Now, that doesn't mean we can't still teach about him. So the problem does fall on the "liberal" aspect of teaching and teachers.

Wow. I dunno why your machine is using so much ram for bf3. Most people claim it uses about 3gbs of ram. I'm gonna be overhauling my rig pretty soon. I'm an amd guy so I've been waiting a while for something worthy to be released. I'm still using ddr2 ram. Lol

There is NO reason to go bigger then 8gigs for current gaming rigs, lol. if your talking about editing and what not then yeah. i have never seen my computer use more then 5gb's at any given time. Editing is a different story. For gaming tho almost anything over 8 is a waste. but your point carries a lot of merit, 32bit systems only run up to 4gb's, so a 64bit system is basically standard now. is there a reason they even make 32bit systems anymore?

By today's standards it's outdated. It will run the game. I know running multiple MOBO is possible but for gaming it's pointless. it more of server thing if anything.

I'm still trying to figure out how your running 2 motherboards on one operating system and why..

Lag is a combination of hardware performance and network speed. Running a virtual windows inside another is redundant unless you dont have any other options, like running a laptop. The best possible option, and a great one. Purchase a 128gb SSD, install windows 7 on it and all the drivers for your hardware. Simply unplug your SATA from one hard drive to the next and boot up with which ever u want. You may have to select boot device from your MOBO depending. When i upgraded to an SSD i was able to plug in my old HDD and it still worked. Either way your system is outdated, and 2gb of ram is not enough to run a virtual windows and play a new game like COD to really take advantage of playing on a PC.

When i was shooting with one eye closed i focused on the front site, but when i moved up to both eyes open for some reason i shot better focusing on the target. If it is preferred, i'll start working on focusing on the front site. I have always been able to align the sights even when blurry and rather quickly, but then again i use 3 dots and my vision is 20/20. if your far sighted i would guess this would be a horrible option now that i think about it.

Are you talking about the barrels or the uppers in general? i would take an RRA over anything on that list any day. Their varmit rifles get some pretty high remarks. However, i am now a BCM fanboy, so that is my first choice.

I focus on the target, and get the sights between my line of focus. Why should you do it this way? you want to be concentrating on the target not the gun. If your target is blurry how do you know where your actually aiming?

Don't open the box, technically it is still in route from a gunsmith. Same thing for shipping it out... but then again this in NJ...

Yeah, you have to do it online. I forget how you do it over the phone but i remember reading on there site that you need to fall under some circumstance to do so, like no internet service or something. Basically like the guys said here, you go online and pick a specific day and time to go using the info your PD supplied. Not sure what the wait time is looking like now, but i had to wait an entire month for the next available slot. The day i went they were booked, and the place was empty... workers just standing around.. go figure. They had 3 rooms and 3 techs to take care of 1 person per 5 mins. it takes about 5 to get one person printed.... i guess it's better then having to wait in the place, but it seemed like a complete waste of resources.

Does Homeland security + civilian security force = mercenaries?

I would say it completely depends on the PD. Mine would probably just ask to see the original PP, but then what do you do if you don't have one? Honestly, after this, if i ever shipped a gun, i would request that they hold it at the distribution center. You would think the person who received it by accident wouldn't open it and just call UPS, but i certainly wouldn't count on it.

They ship the original boxes since they are bulk. Just slap a shipping label on it. The packages were unopened. I don't like it shipped that way but what can u do? I wouldn't even care if the guy kept it. There was a signature request ups intentionally change it to a different house number. So some one would have gotten free ammo and I would have gotten my money back.

The UPS guy even said my neighbor was a little off... talking about terrorists or some crap... i mean really? Other then my name, my neighbor now knows there is a terrorist living on his block.

I wonder if the PD looked me up to see if i had an FPID. Another reason NOT to buy pistol ammo online with out an FPID in NJ.

Sooo..... I put in for an order of ammo. 1k of each 9mm 45 and 5.56. I get an email yesterday from UPS that the shipping address was incorrect... GREAT! so i call get it cleared up, they mixed up one letter in my street address. Apparently that wasn't the issue i found out. So today they drop off all my ammo at a different house number. The UPS guy couldn't find my house, and claimed my number didn't exist. Mind you i have NEVER had this issue before, i get UPS deliveries all the time. Why in the world after i called and confirmed the correct address would they do this? I find out there on holiday schedule and my normal UPS guy isnt delivering here. Ok, finally after calling when i got the email it was delivered to the wrong address, i told the guy they just delivered 3k rounds of live ammunition to some random person, they got it here to me with in like 10mins after that little comment. Sooo, guy shows up, and says the person he delivered it to called the cops! They didn't care though since the UPS guy basically showed up to claim it while he was on the phone with them. Anyway not done yet! I have gates in my driveway, its plenty wide, what does the guy do? rams right into it and bends the SH8t out of one sides arm post. I mean c'mon! So i guess i get to break out the propane torch tomorrow and some heavy elbow grease. At least i gots me some AMMO!

Yeah me too. A friend lives there an told me the guy who ratted him out is going to run for mayor now.

The range officer is an Amazing 1911 for the price. You can swap out the rear sight, but that just adds to the overall cost. I haven't changed mine yet, but i planned on getting night sights for it anyway. The mil spec is in that range but i'm not sure how it compares and you might be able to dig up a used GI SA on gunbroker or something. You could always venture into the customs. Of course shop around tho, you can find nice used custom 1911's. It's hard to find 1911's that have original detail so that really limits you. i big no for me was front slide serrations, that knocks a whole mess of 1911's out of your options. Maybe a colt gov.?
