Bug Out Motorcycle
Yea the newer HD are a lot tighter than some of the older ones, but I still think the older ones have what I call more soul than the newer ones. As far as the older ones you can clean them up nicely and there are many upgrade you can to to make them ad tight and dependable as todays bikes. One little trick is for covers, primary, came chest etc is to check for a good mating surface. I like to take a large piece of glass with 800-1000 grit wet sand paper on it and clean them up rubbing them on the paper on the glass (very flat surface) lightly in a figure 8 pattern. Just a little TLC goes a long way with the lose tolerances of the pre 84 bikes. Harry

Are you ready for the unexpected?
At night, Loaded, full mag plus 1 in chamber and ready to roll, also the first place for retreat is the closet and have a shotgun loaded and ready with a trigger lock thats easy to take off with cell phone in closet thats good for 911 only in case I can't get to the land line. Other guns are locked up as they should be with children in the house. During the day they are all locked up. Harry

Bug Out Motorcycle
Very nice and clean. There is a place in PA called Bill's Custom cycles and he has a decent sized place you can tour. If your into bikes and some obscure parts and other misc stuff this place has to be seen. I have been there a few times and I'll tell you, you really can't take it all in in 1 visit. Here is a link to his web site. Bill's Harry

Waiting on FID - How Long Before I Should Worry?
This is being fought and we are only as strong as the amount of members we have in the fight so you might want to check out the NJ2AS section here. It doesn't cost much to join a group that is specifically fighting for the rights of NJ Gun owners and any other help you can provide will only help. Here is a direct link to them, and they are also members here on the forum: NJ2AS Harry

Painting a Glock 19 Magazine....
I would get rid of the "Would charge you with" and replace that with COULD, but that would be up to the prosecutor's digression the way I read the law. Harry

Home Defense STHF Lawyer
It's good to have someone to call, or at least instruction for family members and what to do in the even something like this happened. You will get a lot of good info from the folks here but I belong to the USCCA and they have a lot of stories and links to just these type of situations as well as CCW issues being that's the main purpose of the site. You can check them out at: USCCA Harry

People Who have Children
I was just going over some of my personal investments as I do every week but I was also going over my daughters stuff also and it got me to thinking. I remember a few threads with people announcing there new baby and/or children and it got me thinking. This is not a plug for anything, I do not get anything from this nor do I say you can or will do well but this is something that will take a few minutes of your time and friends and family can also help you at this. There is a web site called U-Promise. This is a 529 account for college for when you child gets to that age. You can make a contribution once, monthly, or on what ever schedule that may work out best for you. There is absolutely no sub statue for longevity when investing. Yes we would all love to be able to buy on lows and sell in highs but if we could do that we would but it just doesn't work that way. The U-promise web site isn't the greatest, however the benefits are fantastic, you can just register you credit cards you normally use and do nothing different, some stores or services earn more for you but like I said, it just take the initial time to sign up and register your current credit cards. There are other things like the U-Promise credit card, it's ok, but I have found that what I get back from some of my others ones net me a little more directly and just take the lower contributions that are automatic from them. Anyway, for a few minutes of your time, also you can send invitations to family and Friends who also do the same thing for your child to help increase what I consider found money. Take a look and see if it might be something your are interested in doing for your child, I feel myself and others who have children can not afford not to do this. Here is the link: U-Promise Also don't forget about our host of this forum and what he does while you are thinking along these lines. Harry

Waiting on FID - How Long Before I Should Worry?
I say on day 20 to call and just inquire if everything is in order and see if there is anything that needed you attention, that would bring to your attention if there was something that they were waiting on, also it reminds them that you are still waiting on them. After day 30 and you don't receive anything, I would say call them once a week and just be nice and check on the status. While the guide line is 30 days, you don't want to go in there blazing, Hey it's 30 day WTF.. So in other words, I be calling and seeing what's going on, remember the squeaky wheel get the oil. Harry

I wouldn't worry about it anyway unless it was excessive but a few drip's here and there is just the rust prevention system. Harry

Bug Out Motorcycle
On the few places that don't have gaskets you can use a string seal. Can't think of the name of it right now, but it's the same stuff they used to use on rotary aircraft motors. I know people who have used that on bottom end's of old HD's, Indians, Enfields, etc and not a drop ever. It's not like the surfaces really need that, but it compresses to I think just under .001 so clearance and run-out/lash or other speck is normally unaffected. Harry

Mine if just what I was riding when I started on the Fourms and it had stuck for the last 11 years, I would have changed it but too many people know me on different forums by this name so it stays. Harry

USPSA Area 8 Championship - Sept 1-4, 2011 Virginia
Just under 5 hours from Central NJ but the only problem with going there is the DC Metro area, the direct route and loop are just crazy, I usually like going through that area if I have to late at night or on the overnight, sometime the traffic if it moved any slower you would be going in reverse.

Painting a Glock 19 Magazine....
I would consider her getting her FID and P2P so she can get her own gun. Technically she is not even allowed to handle your gun in your home. However when it comes down to it, it's better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6. Harry

More evidence for [needed] CCW in NJ
Back on topic, there are a few things, first yes we all agree that the 2A should trump all but this in NJ and only time will tell how this is going to pan out, but from the sounds of it, we are in the best position in over 40 years to have something done to correct that. Not holding my breath, but cautiously optimistic. As far as being in situations that you may find yourself having to defend yourself, well while something can happen anyplace, it's best not to put yourself in those situations. There is a thing call Street Smarts, that's not how well you can fight, or how well you can defend yourself, but the ability to identify situations and take action to avoid a confrontation in the first place.

More evidence for [needed] CCW in NJ
I know I have seen them in my Grainger catalog but there are some new florescent bulbs that are compatible with dimmer switches. Not sure if they were tube, spot, or bulb but they are out there and I sure can't see a whole segment of lighting being eliminated when there is technology to keep it going. Harry

Issues with Hornady Critical Defense .357
I would contact Hornady and tell them what happened and also the lot number on the box wouldn't be the first time there was a bad batch of ammo out there. You might also post the lot number here in case other have it and just to be extra careful or set it aside and see what Hornady has to say first before they use it. Harry

transporting a firearm that doesnt belong to you
Technically you can not even touch the gun unless you were at a FFL, Firearms shop or a range WITH the owner. Only the legal owner should transport the gun. If she is the legal owner you and her can get the gun, just transport it unloaded in the trunk of your vehicle, if its a SUV or other vehicle that doesn't have a separate location to store it you need to have it in a locked container and not a center consul or glove box.

Safely storing your handguns?
I get a kick out of I only want 1 gun, not putting anyone down for that at all but I have seen more people than not, actually I can't think of any who started out with that intention that kept to it. Like I said, lets see in a year what the story is is all I will say, and I bet dollars to donuts that we will joke about it in a year from now. Heck we might have a new contender for the 2012 arms race. I will say on a serious note that anyone just getting into shooting should take the basic pistol course from one of the reputable schools here in NJ, I vote for Gun for Hire being I have had great experiences with them, not just for your safety but to not lean bad habits to start out with and then later try and correct them.
