I'm not an AC guy, but I stayed in a Holiday Inn express.. Kidding aside, I've spent the past month researching and having multiple contractors provide me quotes to upgrade my entire home HVAC system. From my understanding mini-splits are mostly used when you can't get proper duct work in easily as in old homes, or ones with solid walls... or you just need to cool a small area. If you want to cool your bedrooms, why bother cooling the staircase loft area that opens to the living area below? Why not look at an attic unit and ducts that would feed all of the upstairs bedrooms with the single unit?

In NJ it always seems its all about voting for the lesser of the available evils.

You can program it for single presses in a certain order, or simultaneous presses + single presses in order. Would need both hands to be mangled for it to really be a problem. Since we are playing "what if"... what if you have blood, water, sweat, etc on your hands when you try to use the biometric fingerprint sensor?

Don't give in to the 1911 must be a .45 crowd! The STI models and SW1911 in 9mm are phenomenal 9mm handguns. I use the SW1911 in USPSA for single stack minor, and it serves me well.

Argh, if only it was stainless I'd be running to grab some PP's !! Nice piece, I'm sure you will find it a good home.

These look pretty cool, but I'm still grasping at why it would be better than the tactile finger button approach that gunvault uses on their minivault. Place hands, hit combo with four fingers, spring loaded door pops open. With these biometric safes, you have to press an on button, place finger, then open a latch, pull door open. That will take longer than the two seconds I need with my gunvault.

I've been staying out of this one, but have been reading the posts. My only comment is that there seems to be two camps of logic. I think there are good arguments for both sides, with the realistic outcome potentials being somewhere in the middle. 1) The literal interpretation of the gun laws to the letter, without any deviation or alternative/creative interpretation (as in these rules must be followed whenever a gun moves to the hands of another person at all times no matter what the situation) 2) The "in the spirit" of the law interpretation, looking at what the laws are trying to accomplish and interpreting them with that in mind (preventing bad people or people who should not own or hold guns from getting access to said guns)

Old Bridge requires re-printing for a PPP if I believe it has been over 1 or 2 years since your last one. Idiotic and moronic. As pizzabob said, it is not illegal and technically they can require reprinting every time you go for PPP's. Just one of the many flaws in the current system.

So now Sig will start calling .40S&W... ".40Auto" , we can have a cartridge renaming war!

Was browsing through the USPSA magazine earlier. I noticed an ad for S&W M&P series of pistols. It mentioned the calibers available as 9mm, .357 Auto, .40 S&W, .45 ACP. I was like "357 Auto?? WTF? do they mean .357 Sig?" to myself. Of course that is the case. It seems S&W doesn't want to use "Sig" as part of their nomenclature. It is further confusing on their website where they show ".357Sig" in the title of the pistol, but then list "357 Auto" as the caliber in the specs. Rediculous marketing if you ask me...

Ah yes, I see the shipping delay notice on the front page, good for them to do that. That being said I rarely use their front page as a starting point, and use google to find what I want. I find their site annoying to navigate. This is why I didn't see it.

Jon, remind me before the next USPSA match that we will both be at, and I'll bring my lower with the SD3G for you to try out.

I agree, if they are anticipating delays, they should say so on your cart or during the order process. Something like "There are currently 5 day lead times for shipping due to high demand" , etc. What happened to me is even worse. I had the delays, then they were missing a majority of my order when they did ship. At least they were responsive via their website contact form and did rectify the problem in the end.

PSA corrected their wrong. I just received all of the missing parts from the original order today. Hopefully they learn from their mistakes!

I'd look into a possibility of age discrimination as being the real cause for you being laid off. All depends around the facts and context of course, but I can't stand when I hear people in their mid to late 50's so close to retirement getting laid for BS reasons after years of excellent service.

Lol at "radar screens" when they are just irrigation fields. Shawn, the tinfoil hat is strong with you. Area 51 isn't even blurred out.

Something is wrong when you start to be concerned with the police as much as you are for criminals. I get the whole a few bad apples ruin the bunch, and there are lots of outstanding police people out there. Just it seems over the years the bad apples have been rising to the top of the pile. All the good that cops do for people on a daily basis is all pushed to the side when a few bad cops do this kind of thing. They disgrace the rest of their profession. Instead of protecting those that use their power abusively, the rest of the good cops should be working to get them kicked out.

Just switched my search engines to duckduck using SSL. I've been meaning to make the switch, but google is so dam addicting. This topic has pushed me over the edge.

Drugs are bad mkaaaay

They got back to me via email today, I xx'd out any of my personal info:

Thats how I work with Ira. The only time I go through anyone else is if Ira can't get the gun I'm after... either if his suppliers can't get it or are out of stock.

You could try, but I hightly doubt you will be successful... unless you have some very high political connections with your local police chief and the superior court of NJ.

Bud's has always been good to me. Sure you have to wait for them to ship and stuff, but they are clear with their policies. Personally, I would not have dealt with a FFL that was going in for major surgery and will be out of state around the timeframe my gun was to be arriving. Since you did, now all you can do is wait until he gets back. After that your only recourse would be to take him to court. Its not like he stole the gun from you, you had it shipped to him.. so cops won't be able to help.
