Poll! Best firearm for home defense
How in the world has anyone not mentioned the fact that if you use your NFA Firearm in a SD scenario THE COPS WILL TAKE THAT SH*T. I'm not going to have a gun a paid 15k for and waited 6 months for tax stamps for, get thrown in a squad car and stowed in some locker as evidence.

IDPA / SCFGPA
It was one of my better matches until the last stage I shot. Yep, I completely missed a target 15 yds away, while sitting down... http://www.youtube.com/user/NJIDPA

If you thought ADE was bad...
I hope you made it to 4:41.

Poll! Best firearm for home defense
It sure is a good thing we created this poll.

If you thought ADE was bad...
I don't even know what to write in response to this. Undoubtedly the worst display of firearms safety I've seen. The "instructor" stands downrange of his students as they fire, just to prove he trusts them. He also seems to be making up strategies as he goes along. They make ADE look like Chief Range Officers. Scoot right to 4:40, if you're in a hurry. Hope this hasn't been posted before.

Uhh, earthquake?
Felt it here, thought it was my imagination until my GF called and said she could feel it in her studio in Manhattan.

They still make rifles that look like that?????
Guys, it's easy to get your hands on one, I was shooting one last night. Just download Battlefield Bad Company 2. Psh.

How do you feel about Marriage?
Met my girlfriend in pre-school, we're both looking forward to be married. She's my best friend.

Lakewood Break In and HD w/Glock
The last line of the article proves it's fake: "No charges were filed against the homeowner."

I have no words...
The idea of stacking up and clearing room-to-room with an accountant, stay-at-home dad, caterer, and plumber behind me during a weekend "Elite Black Ops Tactical Offensive 360 Ultimate Operator High-Speed-Low-Drag" 2-day course scares me shitless. This promo is designed to attract people who want to look "elite/cool", not for SWAT Teams looking to improve their skills.

5.11 Tactical TDU Jumpsuit
Speaking of niches, when we all end up stranded on some tropical island after an ill-fated NJGF Pleasure Cruise goes awry, my coconut man-bra will be PRETTY useful. You all won't be laughing then.

Dealing with the death of a parent
As unpleasant as it is, the fact that you do feel so emotional is an incredible testament to the man your father is and always will be. My thoughts are with you and your family.

What is this package worth on trade?
I was thinking of heading down to check this out, my issue is that I only own one double mag pouch. I can stow 2 there and 1 in a pocket I suppose. I'm used to IDPA where you never need more than two; do you think I'll be able to make do like this?

m500 vs 870
This seems to be the general consensus. Decide what features are important to you, then handle and shoot (if possible) them both.

Texas Hold Em tournament for a cause
I'm interested. Would prefer something closer to $100.00, being a poor college student and all. I'm sure you would get a strong turnout if it all works out. Every joe now thinks he's a real card-shark since they've been airing the WSOP on TV regularly.

Sayreville sportsman.. lousy experience
Alright so you quoted half of what I said, skewing the message I was trying to get across. I also said: I would assume that EXTENSIVE knowledge, much more so than the average joe, of one's business laws would include a restaurant owner washing ones hands/taxi driver knowing which side, bus drivers drinking etc. It's fun to make outlandish statements to try and get a point across, but it doesn't do anything beneficial for the discussion. A more reasonable example you could have given might be: So you would be OK with a restaurant owner not knowing the exact number of seconds his employees must keep their hands in warm water, as well as the minimum microbacterial sanitation level of the so called "soap" they are using to qualify as washing their hands? When you said: it more or less supported my view that the gun shop owners don't create these laws. While it's their choice to learn them, it's ours to support them monetarily. Please read my whole post next time, as I gave you the same courtesy.

You know you are hooked on the boards when...
My GF and her family went on vacation to all parts of Scandinavia maybe 8 years ago. They toured quite a few military museums and they have a picture of her father sitting at the controls of a massive artillery cannon from inside a bunker looking out to sea. His face is turn sideways towards the camera and they later turned this into a christmas card with the words "Peace on Earth" below him. Yep she's a keeper.

Sayreville sportsman.. lousy experience
As much fun as it is to say "well this is what they do for a living, how can they not know every regulation pertaining to their business?!?!", it's a bit unrealistic. There are just too many laws/statutes/regulations for an individual to be completely versed in all of them. From a business standpoint it makes little sense to me why you wouldn't know as much as you can about your market, but that's the owners prerogative. With that said, they should have an EXTENSIVE knowledge of firearm legalities, much more so than the average joe. If I can look up the information in 2 minutes online, so can a LGS owner. I believe the same goes for police. I love being upset that they don't know the laws they are sworn to enforce as much as the next guy, but it isn't realistic to ask them to have every statute memorized and understood. They may be getting bad information from a source they trust and just passing it along. Again with that said, they need to have an extensive knowledge of these laws as well as make it a habit to check for and understand updates to existing ones. I don't believe I'm "cutting them too much slack", we have to remember that 99.9992% of the people who inaccurately state gun information (BradyBunch aside) aren't doing it maliciously. Human nature is flawed, and while ignorance is no excuse, it's only human and so are we.

Trap Shooting-Monday nights 6pm
Having never shot trap before, and a new shotgun that's itching to be broken in... I'll have to beg my gf to let me go next monday
