I'm not really into pistol cal. rifles. And I def. don't need a 5th caliber right now lol. Although a compact .40 px4 would be nice. On another note. I broke down, and bought an RO off gunbroker. Paid more, but some researched was leaning on Springfield being out of stock for a while. SO i figured i would jump on one now, and bought the cheapest one on there. In another couple weeks gun broker is going to be exploiting them even more. ordered up a hefty amount of ammo while i was at it too.

Child Access Prevention and Safe Storage Law (New Jersey) Law Summary New Jersey's child access prevention law generally requires that no person shall store or keep any loaded firearm on any premise under their control if it is known or reasonably should be known that a minor age 15 and under is likely to gain access to the firearm without permission unless the firearm is properly stored. New Jersey law requires retailers to inform firearm purchasers of this law through a written public warning. I have no idea of a statute number or how accurate this is, this all i could find in a quick google search.

just bought two cans of federal xm855

I dunno how any of this makes them hypocritical. They are paid to be someone they are not.... people play murderers, and all the rest, if they are not a murderer does that make them a hypocrite? It makes them weak anti-gun candidates, after all they are promoting the exact opposite.

Overpriced is an understatement. That's highway robbery!

Something is clearly wrong, because USPS gets PLENTY of business.

If the note had read " Your son was observed saying gun and making gun actions with his hand during lunch today. It seemed to be innocent with no malicious intent, however, i wanted to notify you." In all seriousness, if the teacher knows the system, any teacher would do this at the very least. We document everything! In my opinion we should not post judgement/opinions to parents, unless directed to do so. I personally have a note pad with every instance or interaction i have with a student in regards to behavior. Doesn't matter if i agree with the kid or not, i have to document it. This could in fact prevent negligence. Kids have been know to bring guns to school for non-violent reasons because parents were too dumb to realize their kid has an interest in their firearms.

I'll make sure to dot my i's and cross my t's just for you.

As i recall, after an incident when i was in middle school, making "fake guns" with your hand got you 2 weeks suspension. I dunno if they really took it that far, but the cops were involved, and a couple kids got in trouble because they were "joking around" and one kid took it seriously.... but u know how kids joke. It was blow way out of proportion.

Dude, i think your the dumb a**, read it again.

I suggest actually looking at the NJCCCS, especially for science. It is probably the most broad standard. The fact is, you have to take stuff you are not interested in, its called being a well rounded educated individual. To make matters worse you don't even get to learn anything "fun". You learn the basics, but you cant get to the fun stuff with out first learning the basics. The issue is, you have to love teaching science in order to make your students enjoy it. Core standards just dictate the material a student must learn, has nothing to do with all the extra stuff i throw into my lessons to spruce up some interest. I also get to pick what ever labs we perform, they just have to be on budget and part of the unit. Good science teachers are very hard to find simply because it takes a decent amount of effort to make lessons enjoyable for everyone. I did not start to really enjoy my Bio classes until i was in my third year of college, and it was because of everything i previously learned that made it interesting. Virology and Pharmacology were the best classes i took, but with out a bio foundation, i wouldn't have made it 2 days in either class with out my head exploding. It's easier to put it this way, if you u have never taken a course in Biology, its like never taking a course in reading. You don't get to read your super cool spy novel with out first reading green eggs and ham. I hate Math, but after calc 2 and stats, i still hate it and find it boring and uninteresting, but i'm actually pretty good at math.

I cringe at the thought of handwriting. If I need to write something professionally it is always typed. I know my handwriting isn't what I would consider neet, I've basically been typing on a computer my whole life. College actually made it worse, I learned how to write very fast and neglect neetness because I was the only one who had to read it... On a plus side no one ever asked me for my notes lol. When ever I have handwrite something now I actually make a draft first. As stupid as it seems, and clearly indicated I do not want to look incompitent because of poor handwriting.

No real reason other then reliability through my gun. I bought some at the store and have continued to use it. I can find cheaper federal bulk easier then hornady too.

Sounds like he's managing to slip through the cracks. Does anyone have him read or practice writing? There is nothing to be gained by "manufacturing" grades.Teachers are generally rated by their overall effectiveness through classroom observations. I can tell you that kids are either motivated or there not, and schools are well aware of this. 50% of my students do poorly because they don't even bother to complete there work, and i have had the same students tell me numerous times they failed tests because they didn't study. I laugh when they ask to hand in work late, or retake a test... if this was middle school i would be more lenient, but in HS kids need to learn a deadline is a deadline, unless they have a reasonable excuse. Today, it's an even bigger joke to me, because for all intent and purpose they can find any answer on line i might ask them, and no work i give them would take any longer then 20mins to complete. I pride myself by putting my students interests first, i spend hours trying to figure out the best approach to a lesson and differentiating instruction, creating study guides, and half of them ignore it all. I end up picking a few of my handouts off the floor every class, yet i still give them out, even though i shouldn't. I don't punish the entire class because of a few. I also find that most of the poor performing students give up before they even try... Something you all should realize before this goes any further, teaching is a JOB, and some turn it into a lifestyle. I am not here to raise your kid, give him moral and ethical values. I'm not paid to make sure your kid get's good grades, but i will influence them to do so. I cannot force a kid to learn. Almost all schools in NJ are the same, no matter where you go, if you want a steady and enjoyable career you have to follow the BS that comes with the job, you have to agree with admin or else they make your life hell. It's not a fun job by any means unless your actually teaching, which is the part i enjoy, but i do have to fall in line with the schools views or else they drop a steaming pile of crap on me... Sounds like just about every other job out there. If you think this is ridiculous, just look into the HIB law. I can tell you that 90% of the crap i disagree with is NJ state law, and has nothing to do with schools, teachers or the union. The other 10% usually stems from political views. State law ussually makes teachers go to the extreme, where policies offer more leniency. I can ruffle a few feathers in admin over policy, but god forbid i don't report when two students get into a small verbal argument, and one of them files a HIB report, my a** would be pinned to the wall.

It's much cheaper and Im waiting on permits.If it's one thing i have noticed on gunbroker, the prices are usually high on the item since its a last resort out of stock item. It's also hard finding a seller that has what you want and isnt a)already overcharging B) adding 3% for a cc card and C) shipping. I hate that...clueless response when no one can tell you when it will ship. Honestly, if it doesnt show up by the time i get my permits, then i'll buy my "carry" pistol, which should hold me over. No idea what it will be, but something light and compact. Maybe a px4.

Which is exactly my point, and we have more shootings in schools then we have bombs blowing up planes. I don't agree with the teacher determining that gun is a violent word and talking to the student as if he had done something wrong.

You can say any word u want on a plane, but try saying bomb.

I ordered an Springfield RO today, It's on backorder tho. Hopefully Mastadon Ammo can get one for me relatively soon. I'm gonna spend the money i saved "upgrading" it just the way i like. I knew getting my fed. refund today would be bad, especially when it came as i was walking out the door to the gun shop. haha. Even worse my pay check accompanied it...

IMHO 50% of parents expect teachers to raise there kids, otherwise they WOULD be doing it themselves...

Don't be so quick to jump on the teacher for things like this.... for all intent and purpose she/he has no idea what type of family your kid is coming from. They are responsible by law to report many things that go on in schools... It's not something i like, but i think the teacher handled it as best they could aside from calling "gun" a violent word. Teachers have to be very careful about what they hear and see in schools today, failing to report something can result in getting fired pretty quickly if the wrong party complains, or worse. I think she did the respectable thing, notifed parents that the kid was talking about guns, and let the parents decided a course of action. Some teachers would just send your kid strait to the office, and make it into a bigger problem, as if any really existed at all. It would probably be wise to talk to your son about how things can be taken out of context, and conversations about touchy topics should not par take while in school. I cant believe the &*(&#(*@#^%@ words that come out of kids mouths these days, i'm seriously shocked that i cant walk through a hallway with out hearing profanity every 3 steps. Kinda depressing the attitude some of these kids have.

Sounds like a flash player issue. Firefox is probably the best browser out there, you just have to make sure your plug-ins are up-to-date. Every time firefox updates it should check your plugins and let you know if they need updating, they do require plug in updates sometimes. First, remove/uninstall flash player from your computer, make sure your browser is up to date. Then re-install flash. Sometimes you have to uninstall the program if it doesn't update correctly, i had a similar issue with the ORIGIN client for BattleField 3 on Firefox, it updated the program to play the game, but the browser never recognized it.

My assumption is that it is for police qualifying and any event that fits the ports. On the flip side, if they need more ports, maybe shut down the main ones for it and leave the new ones open to members. This way there is always an open handgun range.

What can you do? chop your balls off and get an electric car.

Not sure why, but i shoot federal exclusively in 9mm. Never had an issue with 1 round through my beretta. 115 or 124 FMJ's for target, and hydra shock for HD.

Easily penetrable...OK. Cause the car to explode....nah. I love when someone shoots out a tire, and the car magically flies into a 3x barrel roll.
