I would prefer a better Castle Doctrine over CCW "shall issue" in NJ. I think it would be easier to pass too, but that is not the reason for my preference. And we need to be free of lawsuits from the bad guys family, ex-girlfriends and his Facebook friends. The lawyers are the only ones who make out. Under the current laws even if you are not criminally charged the civil lawsuits will bury you.

Colorado. I love backpacking in The Rockies and close enough to the canyon lands of South East Utah.

Wow, I applied 4/16 thru GFH and still nothing. I have a clean record involving fingerprint checks (CPA and foster parent). Oh wel.

I agree it is no trivial matter. In fact, it could be a drunk guy and I would feel the same way. It could be a thief and I am not going to shoot unless they come towards me despite warnings. But the flip side is there could have been male intruders as well and your child might be in the other room and if the girl keeps walking towards you, and if she is armed or others involved and your wife or kids get hurt or killed then how do you live with that. Some things are tough to leave up to chance.

I am against warning shots, but this situation made me rethink it. I am still against it though...gotta be responsible for every round.

I am fine with the homeowners taking the shot, and certainly glad they will not be charged. It's their call, they are there and the ones feeling the intensity of the situation. Even assuming there was good lighting and you can tell it is a female with no weapons in her hand, she may have one concealed and I am definitely thinking her male buddies are right behind her after she distracts me. I would only shoot if she continued to come towards us despite a gun pointed at her and verbal warnings. No need to chance fending her off with one hand as Junkie 1 charges through the door.

After looking at quite a few sites I went with Lucky Gunner. Ordered 1,000 rounds on Monday... Blazer Brass 165 FMJ (40 S&W) for $305 (includes shipping). Received it today...went UPS Ground. I did the order over the internet and received a few emails indicating my order was going out, etc... Lucky Gunner does require you to fax or email your NJ FID card. Assuming they continue to be price competitive for what I am looking for I will definately use them again.

Thank you. I will look at their websites tomorrow.

Geez. If not 110 percent sure then don't open the door. Thanks for sharing...I like to show these to my wife and kids (older) and my two nieces who also live with me. It just reinforces them to be aware these things are happening and they always have to be careful when the doorbell rings.

I am looking to purchase .40 FMJ from Lucky Gunner. I will probably buy 2,000 rounds. If anyone else wants to join in then I would be willing to coordinate the order. We can meet at my house or a place close by (including where I work) for pick-up. I have never ordered ammo online before. I am not married to Lucky Gunner, but I would like to keep this rather simple and be able to execute the order quickly. Therefore, I am looking for others who only want to purchase .40 and who live near me (Mt. Arlington) or where I work (Fairfield). Not that we need to order the same exact ammo, but I am looking at CCI Blazer Brass, 1000 rounds, FMJ, 165 grain for $285 plus shipping and tax. The more who go into it the less the shipping. Or the 180 grain for $305. So here is how it goes: send me a private message with your name, email and phone if you don’t mind. I will reply with the same info on me. Include which ammo (see their website) and quantity. I will place an order on Monday, May 21st (even if it’s just me). There will be a formal process where I call Lucky Gunner (or whoever) confirm they have all the ammo on order, the price, then email all for one last confirm and then place order. Open to suggestions how to better coordinate, but I am probably going to cut it off to first 10 to reply (if anyone even replies). Sorry, trying to keep it simple and fast to execute. Have a great weekend.

That's where I saw it too. I googled the model number and Bud's had it For $514, cash discount price and free shipping. I can't find any reviews for it though.

I submitted ink prints thru GFH on April 16th. Florida ashes my check so I am thinking the prints are fine. Not to highjack the thread, but any idea how long it approximately takes to receive permit from when they deposit the check? It took them almost 10 days to do so. Thx

I'm a wuss. After reading some posts about a mountain lion in Roxbury I have to admit my eyes were roaming as I just finished my nightly walk. We have plenty of deer and the occasional bear, but mountain lions??? Geez.

I like your 590. What is your initial impression of the speedfeed stock? Good retention? Thank you.

There is a big difference in size between a mountain lion and bobcat. I once saw a bobcat while in TN. Chances are if they are unsure if it is a mountain lion or bobcat...it is probably a bobcat. I have seen many mountain lion tracks while backpacking in UT and CO. I would think the park service would pick up on the tracks. I used to mountain bike in Ringwood area and always concerned about bears...not much time to react when flying around a bend on bike. The elusive mountain lion in NJ...would be pretty cool.

Jim Miller from Sparta, NJ has a very important UFC fight this Saturday. It will be on Fox.

The GAPP class interested me. Think it was called Intermediate Handgun, but as I recall there are no more in NJ (only NY???) for the rest of year (I can't do any days or weekends before June 30th). The Gun For Hire website is not clear to me which classes are when, unless it is the Basic Pistol course. Plus, this course seemed to be the most intense (as much as one can tell from the internet). Not happy about the extra costs, but I think and hope it wll be worth it. I also like the number of rounds they tell you to bring. It seems more range time and less classroom than other courses I peaked at. We'll see.

Just signed up for the October Defensive Handgun I and II classes in October. I stumbled upon a bunch of their Youtube videos and after researching it further I thought it seemed fairly intense. Road trip weekend away from a home filled with five females...much needed fun getaway for me. Anyone every heard of this training program? http://practicalfirearmstraining.com/

I am interested in .40

I was searching the Internet for reviews on this light, but could not find any. It is 125 lumens. Trying to figure how it holds up. Anyone? http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/76663

Hysterical. Watched it twice, thanks for the laughs.

Glock 23 Mossberg 590A1 AR ---- I will probably go with M&P Sport 4: ???.

The iPhone 4g is coming, but if it doesn't matter then get one now. I would go with the iPhone for sure. If you want a phone / tablet then look into the Samsung Galaxy Note. It will be in the U.S. soon and is the size of your checkbook. Really cool. Ceck out reviews on YouTube.

Just some random thoughts... Let's call a spade a spade...the NBC editor did it intentionally. Investigate it. It will possibly lead you up the network ladder...pursue it. We need more people to volunteer like George Zimmerman. From the limited audio I heard, once the operator said we don't need you to follow him, George replied "okay". I don't know if George went beyond self defense or not. To me,if he has bruises on his head, the investigation shows the shot was at point blank range (suggesting they were grappling and in contact range, the bullet entered the front or side of Trayvon, and IF a witness corroborates George's story....then I am leaning on a clean shot and a win for CCW. We need the government to investigate the threats issued by the Black Panthers Not related to this case, we have a problem in this country that is getting worse...thugs, terrorists, whatever. Stand Your Ground is okay for us civilians, but I want law enforcement to profile. If going after the mob focus on Italians ( I am Sicilian), if terrorism focus on Muslims, if drugs the Colombians and Mexicans....not exclusively b/c there are exceptions but you get more bang for your buck....better odds. Let's stop with all the politically correct crap. Thanks for letting me go off topic. One beer and it all comes out.
