Sig Military Charity Match - Southern NH
That is without traffic (and there is almost always traffic somewhere between the NJ Pike, NY/CT bottlenecks near the GW, and the Mass Pike!). I take the turnpike to the George Washington, then go 91 to 84, to the Mass Pike, the 495 takes you right the area.

9 mm or .40 cal - - Why Get One Over The Other?
15 round magazines for the pistol he is looking at (in 9mm) just as common and available as the 17 rounders they are now using. And the .40 cal version is only 12 rounds...

Sig Military Charity Match - Southern NH
If anyone is wondering it is roughly a 5 hour drive from central NJ without traffic. Where is this on their site?

Dick's, East Hanover
Everytime I have bought ammo from the Dicks in Burlington the same middle-aged man was working back there, so not sure about that whole theory of yours.

9 mm or .40 cal - - Why Get One Over The Other?
For your application, there is zero reason to get a .40S&W over 9mm in any handgun. 9mm is cheaper, generally easier/more fun to shoot, and more common/readily available. Also, the Beretta 92 platform was designed around the 9mm, while the 96 was designed for the .40 off of the 92 platform. The .40 is a bigger round with more stopping power then the 9mm which people might like if they are in a position where this matters, like law enforcement. For range use, my 9mm does just as much damage to targets and the next guys .40. The only difference is I paid less then he did. Get the 92.

Definitely going to have to think about this. It happens to coincide with my leave, and I am taking my leave just minutes (literally) from there...hmm. Where did you find this? I don't see it on their site or schedule.

Terrible Day
No wife but I am pretty sure it would have been worse if I had actually let my roommates girlfriends little lap dog get eaten by the big dog walking down the street. On second thought...

AR 15 stock tool
Had I seen this earlier. I just got one today, and live in the Mt. Holly area. Hell, I'd have gave it to you after my luck with it today.

Terrible Day
So today, I get home from work, and see I have my packages in. Great! I can now change the oil on my car. I had to order a special socket to get the oil filter cap off...stupid non standard oil filter...anyways. So I am out changing the oil, just with that feeling that something was going to go wrong. I got the oil draining into the pan...or do I? Oh yes, it is, but then it is draining right out of it onto my driveway through a nice little crack in the bottom. Hurray, 5 quarts of oil on the driveway. Perfect. But things are over yet. I also got in the mail a tool to tighten the castle nut on my AR-15. This should be easy right? Oh but of course not. The tool worked just fine, but the castle nut and buffer tube didn't want to cooperate. Instead of tightening, it it feels like I am stripping the threads. So I back it off. Okay, I'll be easy, and just turn it till the stock is back in the right position. Oh wait, I can't, because the thread just strips. So now the threads are done. Completely useless. But that isn't all. In the process of taking the lower off the upper, and the stock off the lower, I broke both the buffer pin retaining spring and the rear takedown pin spring. Lovely. And then of course there is the issue of the pinned stock on the buffer, thanks to New Jersey. So no, I can't just buy a new buffer tube and swap my stock, because it is pinned, and too well (last time I'm doing anything that well again). So I get to buy a new buffer tube, castle nut, stock, buffer retaining pin spring, and takedown pin spring. FML. Nobody happens to have any of those things do they?

This is cool
Cool video? Not so much. Cool product for the terrible laws in this terrible state? Absolutely! And I was less concerned about his questioning whether he should load the rifle there, and more concerned that he didn't even know which way it went in! Then there was his issue just loading the magazine...

newbie question on sights
Leave the front sight post on, just get a rear BUIS. You can still use a holographic sight with the front sight. There is nothing wrong with leaving it on, and it will save you the hassle and money.

No. Not usually at least.

Philadelphia Police Threaten To Kill Open Carrier
The point is to enforce current laws, not to enforce your own made up laws or impose your positional power on people with something that you personally don't like or agree with. Just because it is normal that everybody speeds doesn't make it right. So why does the fact that not everyone carries make it illegal or wrong or anything else? What you are doing is confusing your personal opinion with legal rights and wrongs, which is pretty much what the officer did. What does that mean? It means you are wrong. So we have to give "leeway" to officers just because they are put in a position of authority, regardless of whether or not they are following the laws, just because? Okay Mr. Communism. I like this one the best. First, good law or not, like it or not, agree with it or not, it is the LAW. It is everyones responsibility to comply. So it "not being a good law" isn't an excuse. Second, because you think it "isn't a good law", doesn't mean there is a fine law, or any disparity in it's interpretation. There isn't. Open carry is LEGAL in Philly WITH a permit. Black and white. Because the officer was ignorant means only that he was ignorant AND wrong, not that there is a fine line. This you got right. A traffic stop means you are in violation of traffic/driving laws. So the police have the ability to enforce those laws and regulations. Seeing a gun doesn't mean someone is in violation of anything. So the police have NO right to enforce made up laws. Big difference indeed. One is legal the other is not. When it comes down to it, you have every right to argue whether or not you agree with laws. But claiming something is or isn't right based off of this opinion contrary to laws is not only illogical, but there is also a right and wrong answer that isn't debatable. Something is right, and something is wrong.

Visited Cheyenne Mt. and Sportsman Center today...
Cheyennes better be flexible on price because the prices they display are terribly over priced. I'm not sure if they even have anything that is even at MSRP nevertheless under it. I hope their employees are more knowledgeable than the guy I talked to, where apparently terms like 'bulk' and 'Milsurp' were foreign to him. Sportsmans seemed to have solid prices on accessories and cleaning supplies. Not sure about their firearms, as they don't seem to have much so I didn't bother looking.

Their actions do not excuse the officer's actions.

Philadelphia Police Threaten To Kill Open Carrier
I'm just going to throw this out there. This first cop was wrong. Clearly wrong. And he was wrong for one major reason. He didn't know his job! It is his job, as a professional, to know the laws, know what he is suppose to enforce, AND know how to act and deal with people. He failed to do this because it would appear he is either NOT a professional, or he was failed by others who were suppose to teach/train him on his job. If you were an accountant, and were being paid to manage finances and their taxes, and you didn't know the rules and laws, and they ended up getting audited, are you doing your job? If you worked construction, and didn't get the proper permits because you didn't know you needed them, are you doing your job? Absolutely not, and this is no different. He didn't do his job either because he didn't know how, or he felt like he could do what he wants because he's a cop. Either way... I have dealt with a Philly cop once. I was working at a Philadelphia Eagles - New England Patriots game on the sidelines. Before the game I was chatting with an officer. Now I am a huge Patriots fan, but of course he didn't know it, and considering I looked like an employee of the stadium, he probably assumed I was an Eagles fan. Regardless he lacked all professionalism and told me "I wish I could just punch a Patriots fan in the face right now." (along with other expletives) His demeanor was quite similar to the officer in that audio. It is embarrassing that apparently the Philadelphia PD doesn't hold their officers to standards that even a place like Burger King would hold their employees too.

First AR Build (EDIT: Rifle complete, pics added)
I usually don't like quad rails, but this, along with the best state motto on it, yeah, I like it.

The Stoner Arms Dealers
Those dummies made millions of dollars quite ingeniously. Until you have been in that position to be greedy, I don't think you can even begin to call them dummies and douchebags. You might think you wouldn't let greed get the best of you, but how would you know for sure? More people then not get greedy... Amazing article really.

My response to an internship request.
I'm glad you brought this up and recognized it. Believe it or not, that was my point. I based my opinion on you from 2 little paragraphs. Whether my opinion was right or not is moot, perception is reality, but that reality isn't often the truth. Don't doubt it.

AR pics, lets see'um!
Thanks! I thought so. Unless you do nothing but shoot from a bench, or are tiny, I don't understand the 2 extremes. This allows me to shoot comfortably standing, and when I was shooting off of bags to sight her in, had no problems either.

Harrased by a hippie.
Classic. I only wish I could think of witty things on the sport and not like, 10 minutes after like usually happens.

finaly, recieved extended mag release 1911
What is the purpose of an oversize release? Wouldn't it be more likely to cause an accidental mag dump then doing anything of benefit? Not criticizing or saying it isn't helpful, I just don't understand. If you have abnormally short thumbs I would understand though.

My response to an internship request.
I wasn't talking about the format of a resume, nor was I saying you were too harsh. If you fail simple things like spell checking, as you said, they probably aren't the type of person you are looking for. What I am saying is not everyone knows what goes into a job resume, or what you, or whoever is involved in the hiring process, is looking for. Maybe I was wrong about you. Perception is reality and people need to learn and adapt to that perception, and NOT their own perception about themselves.
