Some people do carry around the home, or may have access in different locations. As far as leaving doors unlocked, well I do live in a nice neighborhood but my family and I will always have the doors locked unless we are on the front porch. I don't go around wearing my tinfoil hat or anything like that, but I am prepared and ready when at home, and like I said I live in a nice neighborhood but I think that people who do this that live in crappy neighborhoods can only rib others who may not have anything worth robbing so they might as well go to a place where people have things. Do I think all places are unsafe, No, do I think everyone everywhere should be vigilant, Yes.

Bob, you mean the show isn't real... Me I'm just glad the fourm allowed "Hammer Cocking" and didn't change that in your post.

Welcome to the Forum..

Oh no problem Ray, like I said it's your choice and no issues with that, I just like to point out to people that while you don't see things changing in the PR of NJ as a direct result of the NRA's actions, I do believe they have headed off enough things on the national level that could have impacted us and to me personally it's worth being a member. I also support the local NJ organizations that are trying to make this better for all of us. I do what I can and hope for the best but people can only do what they feel is good for them and not going to fault anyone for not believing in some of the groups. Especially with how things are in NJ and if you have seen how they have been since 66, I do understand the feeling of no hope that some people have. After all you can only get kicked to the curb so may times, I guess I still have some hope.

I know it's personal preference and understand not wanting to be forced to join a group you may not want to. However while you may not see direct results here in the PR of NJ on what the NRA does, I do believe we would be in a lot worse position then we are if it were not for them working the national scene. For that, I will always be a member of the NRA.

If this happened to a lot of us it might have ended differently. As you all know something like this can happen very quickly, I'm not sure how It would have turned out but I know if I had time and reacted they would have been met with me letting them know I am armed and ready to shoot. How they take that being they originally thought they were in the right place would have reacted. I just know this could escalate into someone getting hurt real bad or killed for a mistake. Now really, how many of you would be armed and ready, and what do you think would happen. I know I would hope that me identifying that I am armed and a response of them identifying who they are would diffuse this situation, but in a heat of the moment it's hard to say how things would end up.

Maybe but I do have 1 planned trip on my bike that won't get canceled. I'll be headed to a weekend party down in Texas and when it's all said and done, it will be about 3500 to 4000 miles round trip depending on route and side trips along the way. I know if I was in my car or truck I would just be doing a direct route but on the bike a 500 miles difference is only $62.50 at 5 bucks a gallon. Now my weekend trips down the shore and other weekly trips might suffer if it goes up that high. The biggest problem I have is there really is no valid reason for a swing that great other than speculation.

I think this is a tragic situation but would like to point out we really don't have enough details to even make an educated guess at what happened. That and you know the media will twist things so we probably will never know what really happened. As far as unarmed people getting shot, well it's not always black and white on what happens prior and during some of these that have happened, easy to play Monday morning QB, but all we really are doing is guessing when you get right down to it.

My wife may have a different opinion..

Now that's just ridiculous..

Now thats a nice deal..

You got that right Dave. I have one of the D-cell battery inflatable ones I carry on my bike when I go on road trips, man what a difference from sleeping on the ground even with the small bed rolls let alone a sleeping bag on the ground. Only problem when making time on the bike is finding camp grounds when going X-country, lot of time I just wind up in a rest area pulling out my foldable chair, hopping in my sleeping bag, sit back down and grab a couple Z's. That and carry a towel for truck stops to take a show and I have done some low cost days on the road. Sure beats the days of a hefty bags as rain gear and ripping another one open for cover hanging them off the bike to sleep for the night like when I was younger.

I remember going in there every year to get my fishing license and trout stamp when it was still Charlie B's..

For a custom gun, who might you be looking at??

How hot do you keep the place and how big,, man thats a lot..

It's the 120 buck swap. It's a good little pistol in either configuration. The longer one really isn't that much more accurate but you do get a little longer sight picture..

How long before you could sit down again??

Nice...

Completely agree... Had an issue after the Super-bowl where I work. There was a charter flight that had the Giants on it, well I am all for recognizing the Super-bowl Champs but I was asked to coordinate a Water Salute. I said no, Water Salutes are reserved for Retiring Flight deck Crew members and Fallen Solders only.. Well if you saw pic's and videos of there arrival at Newark you will see it was done, but I had nothing to do with it, I guess someone else took it upon themselves to request that for them. Like this thread, I think that it is a slap in the face to all who deserve these things when others are added for no good reason.

Another thumbs up for the Otis kit..

Wow, never heard of that, hope it's something he may be able to grow out of..

Obama???

,,, great post about lying about what happened at a crime scene, and now joke about using a drop gun, that should help the publics perception of gun owners..
