thanks for the reply. I googled my question after I posted it and it took me to this forum where the question was answered a few weeks ago. Sorry for not searching prior to my post. thx

I have never been to Cherry Ridge, but I was looking at their website (anjrpc link) trying to determine if I could shoot slugs at the rifle range. I don't even have a shotgun...yet! But I have been holding out to hear some reviews on the KSG and now the Mossberg Flex modular system. So I anticipate making a decision in April and the idea of shooting slugs at 50 plus yards appeals to me, but I am just not sure where I could do this...Cherry Ridge rifle range??? Thanks, Joe

They indicated in one of the YouTube videos it will be available in March and retail between $600 - $800.

Hysterical !!

I am curious if any of you do something extra for mischief night and/or Halloween in terms of home security. We leave our outside lighs on every night until 9:30 but I leave them on all night for mischief night. For Halloween we shut the lights off at 8pm. It is frustrating because I know a lot of the highschool kids come out at this time and we don't mind, but we decided it is not worth the risk with some of the wierdos out there. And I am equally concerned during the day. Does anyone carry a firearm, pepper spray, knife, etc...? Does anyone not open the door at all...even during the day? I don't let my wife open the door by herself...we usually do it together and both hooo and haaa at the costumes. The only other thing I do is walk outside on the driveway during mischief night every once in a while. If I don't hear anyone I go inside and come back out in an hour or so.

I-phone...you will be thankful. good battery life and it charges very, very fast too.

Fairfield has a decent size force. And while I initially thought the story was fishy, I know much better now that I followed the story for it's length rather than a mere week of rumors flying here and there. They caught the thug that shot him, thank God. Gerald was in the hospital for a long time. He came back to duty and was recently in an accident while him and another Fairfield cop pursued in a car chase. I believe he received minor injuries.

It will be interesting to see how many Youtubers add Hard Hat to their EDC.

I have no training and I am looking forward to some. I need it!! Beyond the First Steps course I am also eager to do some additional training. I will research the Arizona path...thank you.

Thanks for the reply. Do you recall what the range qualifiations were?

Can anyone recommend a course for me to obtain a non-resident Florida CCW? I am under the impression this will allow me to carry concealed in PA and that is my intent (so give me a cyber jab if I am off base here). I live in Morris county, but I do not mind driving a few hours. So far I have stumbled upon two possibilities: Gun For Hire Personal Defense Solutions (near Philly I believe) Thank you, Joe

Scary. It happens when you least expect it. A knock on the door after a snow storm offering to clean your driveway. A stalker watches for a few days as you walk kids to bus stop after husband leaves for work and figures you don't put alarm on for the 10 minute bus wait...breaks back door to enter. Unfortunately, we need to be on guard 24/7 and that includes within the neighborhoods we live. The right to carry would help level the playing field. I am sick of the bad guys having home court advantage. My parents (83 yrs old) live in Montville. Last summer a teenage girl rang the doorbell at 9:30am to sell magazines for the school. My mom is Edith Bunker in the sense she trusts everyone. My dad was in the shower. My mom asked who to make the check out to and asked the girl "don't you need my address to send the magazines?"...reply from girl "most people have them delivered to a local hospital". Girl went to the bathroom and was in there for 10 minutes. My mom heard her talking on the phone. she got my dad and he told her to leave. four hours later she was arrested (at least handcuffed) a half mile away with another girl in front of my sisters house. I don't know the details but she was probably casing the joints for someone else. My daughter dates a police officer and he was telling me that if you do let someone in your house you should lock the door after they enter. i never thought of that and found it interesting. He said many times they work in pairs: one distracts you to another area and hits the send button on phone for the other to enter through front door.

Thanks all. I learned a lot.

Wow, thanks. So if I can get a ccw in a state recognized by PA reciprocity then I stand a chance to get a ccw non resident PA license? I imagine you lock it up in trunk while driving to PA and look for a phone booth in PA. What if pulled over in NJ, despite locked in trunk, and not going to/from range? Thanks again! I like that PA Attorney General link you provided. I think it is disgusting that every state lists the name of an invididual you can contact except one, NJ. NJ gives you a PO box.

I understand the thread is focusing on whether or not you can carry in Philly given you have a PA CCW, but I thought a NJ resident could not obtain a PA CCW. I am assuming you only reside in NJ. I got this notion from the below link. I realize it is not the official code. See the parapraph near the bottom that starts Note that Pennsylvania State Law... http://paccw.home.mindspring.com/ Thanks.

I think I am number 69. LOL

It is a great show. i will be watching it for sure. Peg Bundy is awesome in it. Another great show is Breaking Bad (Sunday nights on AMC). Enjoy!

thank you Malsua for reposting it. It sounds as if I repeatedly warn the intruder, who appears to be unarmed, that I will shoot if he continues to approach me and I ultimately do shoot him when he gets within XX number of feet that I will be okay in terms of criminal charges... even if it is later determined he is unarmed. Here I am at 6' and in good shape and perhaps the intruder is 5'7"...does that make a difference? I don't think so b/c he may have a concealed weapon. The problem is that his family, ex girlfriend, and Facebook friends will all sue me. Even if I win, I am screwed. That should not be allowed. Thanks.

I was thinking the same thing in regard to the part about hollow points. I live in a townhouse and not a very well constructed one either. I have neighbors connected to my left and right. I sneezed the other day and my neighbor tapped morris code "God bless you" on the wall. My preference is for NJ to pass a more homeowner friendly castle doctrine. One that absolves us from retreating and civil / criminal suit. If my alarm goes off in my house at 3:15am as it did a few weeks ago, I should be allowed to check it out if I so desire. If someone jumped out from around the corner and I shot him/her then I am in big trouble, probably even if they are armed since a prosecutor would argue I should have stayed put and called the cops rather than "go hunting" for trouble.

Decent read from yesterday. I hope the link works. I am not good at this stuff. http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/news/top_three/law-enforcement-officials-say-there-s-a-reason-why-laws/article_1d129cfe-d69a-11e0-8a86-001cc4c03286.html

I hear you loud and clear. I think I can manage the recoil, but I know that I want a pistol grip for certain. I have held shotguns at Meltzer's and Ramsey with the traditional stock and it is awkward for me. I have a brother-in-law in NY and have held his shotty with a pistol grip and it works for me. So if I am going to get a pistol grip and for a few bucks more I can get a recoil reducing one then it seems like a no brainer to me. I like your setup with the pistol grip but I also want to shoot slugs at 50+ yards. Thanks again on your suggestions. I will buy the shotgun and try shooting it with the traditional stock. If I am accurate I will probably leave it for a few more range sessions to see if I get comfortable with the grip. If so and the recoil is fine then I have my answer. Thanks again.

But I could shoulder it properly with the Knoxx. Why is the Knoxx silly? Keep in mind I want a pistol grip and I realize there are other stocks than Knoxx that offer the pistol grip, but if it reduces recoil why would I pass it up? I feel comfortable that whatever stock it is that I will be aggressive with it in terms of stance and holding it flush to the shoulder, but if the Knoxx works then bonus. I read a lot of good reviews about it and only a few bad ones. I welcome any negative comments so I get it right in the end rather than me trying to be right. Thanks.

But I want to be a SWAT commando, or at least dress like one LOL. Seriously, I think you are right in the manner how this weapon will be employed in most situations. But these are strange times. We have financial meltdowns with high unemployment, earthquakes, worst storm in 100 years with record flooding and who knows what else next week will bring. I like having the option of reaching out and touching someone if it ever came to that, even if it is not even a 1% chance. Also, I look forward going to the range and being challenged (for me) at shooting slugs at 50+ yards. When you hear pistol grip knoxx stock you think tactical. When I hear it I think less recoil for a day of shooting slugs and a more natural shooting position for my hand. I like the feel much better, perhaps because I have only shot handguns. At the end of the day we all dance to a different drum beat and it sounds like you found the right rythm for you with that Mossberg / Remington combination.

Some of the differences between the 590A1 and 590 are below. I think they hold true for a 500 comparison, but I am a novice. Hopefully, this will jump start others to comment and or point out any inaccuracies I post. The 590A1 meets military specs. It has a thicker/heavier barrel. It has a metal trigger guard and safetyas opposed to plastic on 590.

Great, thank you. A co-worker told me it is not necessary to clean the trigger assembly everytime I go to the range either. Assuming I fire it 6-10 times a year then removing it once a year is no big deal. Thank you guys. I appreciate it.
