Poll for whether teachers should be permitted CCW
I'm 6months away from being certified to be a teacher, i would love to carry on the job for my own protection and as result the students would fall under that protection as well. I'm more for having it locked in a drawer in the class room when occupied. I dont see this as a means to protect the students as much as its a means to expand the protection of ones self and consequently the protection of innocent bystanders(students). I don't see this going anywhere in NJ tho. I dont understand some of the arguements here tho, if a state allows ccw then why should it end at school property? You can't say that you wouldnt encounter the same issues on the street then in a class room. Just becuase an attacker is a minor doesnt change the fact that your life can still be in danger.

Dell
I have a lenovo T60p, its a couple years old, takes for ever to boot up and down, but when it's on, its really fast and stable. Cosmetically its pretty durable but then again i baby my electronics. I think the lag on and off comes from the surreal amount of crap programs that come with it since it business orientated. It comes with a lot of programs, i've been slowy turning them all off at boot.

next round of Pistol Permits
get a 100 bucks put in for 50 permits, explain that the longer it takes the more permits you will be applying for next time, they will fold because it takes a long time to type up 50 permits and sign them all. AHAH! plus when you go to sign them you can take your sweet a** time there and waste even more of there time.

Dell
The only monitors i buy will be dell, the only accessories i buy will be logitech, and the only computer i will buy will be built. I dunno who said it ain't cheaper, but you need to learn how to re-use your tower + PS and HD's. When i get a new computer, its more like an upgrade, i get a new MOBO + processor + graphcis + memory(if upgradable). Almost everything else gets re-used, i have a dvd player in my computer from like 7 years ago. My older bro taught me how to build computers, the rest of my family just buys them, He bought a dell for the first time last year, one of the xps towers, and it broke in the first week, was returned to the store for another, and broke again, they wouldnt fix it this time cause more time had passed, a 3 month old $1200 comp now sits in the closet, he built a laptop after that and its been going strong.

help deciding
I would go for a 5.56AR personally. Lots of versatility. You can make a light one short range AR or a long range one, i would go with medium wieght around 8lbs and medium range -16" barrel. And if you ever venture into long range you have a choice of 7.62 or 308 bolt action which are priced great if you find a milsup. I've never been a fan of the pistol cartridge rifles, nor have really understood the need for one. There lighter, but the same size of a regular AR, A rifle like vlad stated is for shooting at rifle type distances, a cx4 is basically the same thing as a px4 with a longer barrel, it a rifle that shoots just past pistol type distances, it offers pistol type distances with the stability of a rifle. So a more important question is what do you plan on using it for? I purchased my 5.56AR with anticipation of shooting between 150-300yrds, and plan on getting a 308 for 300+ Just for comparison you can get decent 9mm round for around 20c a bullet, 5.56 will be about 30c a bullet. depending... 7.62 will be about the same as 5.56 but it will be russian made and probably corrosive, better ammo will cost you much more. I like how vlad put it, you want versatility and diversity in your first couple purchases, try and get guns that will give you different options for different scenarios, IMHO the px4 and cx4 are too closely related in terms of what they offer the shooter, if you had or have a decent collection already and want one i would say go for it, but if your just starting i would get something that offers you something you don't already have.

What the hell are you waiting for!? If you have family that can help why not use it? If you have to Pay $$ or put out serious favors then i'd say your not connected enough.

fuel prices.
Well, its been a cold winter, our heating bill for the house is through the roof compared to last years, so that def. has an impact on oil prices. I've always understood the fluctuation of gas pricing in the winter, but i've always wondered why the hell does it go up like 40c on memorial day weekend? I mean were not half as bad as some of the other states gas prices, but your right, it is completely out of hand, these companies are making billions yet they still need to make the bottom line bigger...

school shooting..
Just goes to show gun control doesnt work, every law on the book we have "should" have stopped this from happening. he was 17yrs old, every law on the book keeps guns and ammo out of his hands....that worked marvelously. He'll probably end up a felon, and he'll probably end up owing another gun.. I hope they reveal where this gun came from, and it better not be his dads!

Yeah well maybe if they lived on the streets of Trenton they would know better. The only people that spew crap like that don't know the meaning of life.

The only thing that keeps me from applying is not the understanding that I will most certainly be denied, but its that fact that if the law changes to shall issue, i have a denial on my record.

With everything happening, especially lakewood
well another problem is that when you look up an address or something, google maps doesn't outline, Hey this is the GHETTO! Or warning stray bullet crossing... you don't know what to expect until you get there. I'm totally for profiling areas of NJ on the private business scale, it's a shame that some places, like the place i work at, will take anyone's business regardless of the conditions. My life is worth a buck to them. I'm the only one looking out for me, and i do a pretty damn good job, i'd rather get fired then go through that again.

I am a delivery boy! although for a high end gourmet catering company, no chance in hell i would be delivering pizzas after everything i've herd in the news. I've been on the job once where i was really scared, i had to deliver a gift basket way out in paterson, i almost just said f-ck it, but i rang the bell drop the basket and ran. It was mid way on a block, both corners were filled with well u know the stereo types of people out there, and i could see them paying way more attention to me then normal. I respectfully told my boss i would never deliver there again. Other then that the worst i have to worry about are the cougars on NJ house wives , gotta work that TIP!

COE Question
Also, were you actually convicted of the misdemeanor offense? or were the charges dropped after the probationary period? Not sure if they did it the same way 15 years ago, but today if your viewed by the courts as a "good guy" they will grant you a period of 6 months, in which time your "trial" remains open, at the end of the 6months if you stay out of trouble they usually drop the charges. The initial charge will remain on you record but there would be no conviction.

High court denies man's gun arrest appeal
Even more upsetting is that the Feds said no to the lawsuit, when they have laws and regulations to prevent this from happening. They should pay up for sending this guy to jail for 10 days. They would probably pay more attention to who they arrest and why if they got in trouble when they screwed up and had to pay out for it. And again, if the charges were dropped, what possible excuse can they have to keep the firearm for 3 years, im sure he fought for it too, had he not, he probably never would have seen it again. That's what i call robbery.

Experience at the bullet hole
When i went, half the table was occupied by bullet hole inventory. I understand you need a place to put your gear, but it shouldn't second as a bullet hole stock room. Also when i went they closed down two ports, which is why i had to wait 45mins, they said a training group was coming in, which either never showed up or the guy forgot when they were comming. I was there for an hour and 45mins and two ports were open the entire time with people waiting. This was on a Friday at like 3:30pm, i wonder if they shut down the lanes for the entire day for a group coming in at like 6pm. I would go there again, no question about it, but it seems like they could organize the whole place a little better. When its packed in there, its basically every man for himself, i had to put some guy in his place when i was waiting on line and he just went right to the counter for more ammo. His excuse was he was on lane time, i said if he had asked politely i wouldnt have cared, the problem i had was he felt he was entiled to just go to the front of the line. I had to tell another guy to piss off who walked in behind me who was trying to pay for the range as well, last thing i needed was another person jumping in front of me for lane time, one jerk cutting the line can potentially make me wait an extra hour just to get a lane. On the way out after we were done, i could barely make it out the door the place was so packed. I know the place is small and some of this in unavoidable, but it just makes the experience frustrating.

Experience at the bullet hole
Yeah, i dont want to sound racist or anything but a freind was there and saw what he could explain to be 3 thugs sharing a 12g shotty shooting a target at 5 ft... he basically left at that point.

Experience at the bullet hole
They really should be more aware of new shooters, when i went there my first time no one mentioned anything to me, just took my money, said put the muffs on and eye wear and walk through the door. I read the rules, gave the guy my receipt and just waited for 45mins until someone told me what to do since i had no idea. I proceeded to take out my pistol and the guy freaked on me... he said no fire arms out side the port area, i looked at him and basically said im in the port area. I wasn't going to argue with the guy, but if they wanted to be dicks about it i could understand if the rules were more clear. They basically dont want any guns outside your 2x2ft port, which means you have to juggle all your gear on the small shooting table. While i was confused why they made you do this, just look up.... behind the port area where people throw all there gear and crap, there's about 500 holes in the ceiling for what ever reason... they should really get rid of that huge abnoxious table if your not allowed to use it anyway, would free up tons of space in that tiny room. It helped having a friend share a lane with me, we just handed stuff off to keep everything boxed and keep the little...durr tiny a** port table clean. The rule should state, no fire arms outside your assigned port, not no firearms outside the port area, the port area to me is the entire side of the room which the ports are located, which basically i though was between the table and the ports. Live and learn i guess.

Words cannot describe....
Actually we prefer the vertical grips, controls the recoil better ... this chainsaw grip looks like it would be very hard on the wrist.
