I hope the people that put this guy into office see this and see how he's wasting time! Of course it's more touchy feely legislation that they like...to protect the kids....of which it will have no impact on kids. Well at least we know he hasn't gotten any money from tobacco companies in his campaign contributions.

Indeed this is sad that we've lost the last member of this generation of fine men and women who served our country in times of need. RIP and my deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Congrats Vlad. I wish you both the very best. She'd very attractive and the fact that you two share hobbies is good news. Does she have a single older sister that you'd introduce me to???

Yet another feel good piece of legislation that won't impact crime at all. The only way this will impact crime is if someone steals a legally registered gun and uses it for a crime then the original owner can be found...but what good will that do....it amazes me the the lengths some politicians will go to in order to give people a false sense of security. They must think people are mindless drones if they believe that this type of legislation is going to have any impact on crime. All it's going to do is discourage law abiding citizen's from buying and keeping guns for self protection. They are :thsmiley_deadhorse:

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm pie! Apple, cherry....I'm like Cartman when it comes to pie.

Did you just imply that Steph in a dress is something we wouldn't want to see??? Sorry I just had to stir some ****.

Glad to hear he was acquitted of the charges. He could have really gotten into a jam by forgetting his legally registered firearm (in FLA) was in the glove compartment.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Gov. Christie is realistic about what he can get passed. He realizes that with a Democratic State Senate he's got no chance of getting better gun legislation passed. He mentioned it right when he talked about if he was a Democrat. At least we know he will more than likely veto any anti-gun legislation that is brought before his desk. However, I do potentially see him giving into the anti-gunners if he feels that he can gain their support in more important issues such as job creation, the death tax issue etc. He can't cram anything down their throats or they'll do what's being done in Wisconsin right now. We may even get that in our future depending on the issues. I definitely think he's going to have a huge battle with the NJEA.

This is the best way to deal with things. Trying to get a politician arrested for holding up a gun on a TV news broadcast isn't going to work and it's just going to make us gun advocates look like gun nuts and not responsible gun owners. We cannot resort to childish tactics. The SAF lawsuit is the first step in many that needs to happen. Then we need to vote and get friends, family and others out to vote for people who support gun rights and not these feel good pieces of legislation that don't work.

I am in total agreement with everyone on this thread so far. Wojo- trust me you are preaching to the choir when you talk about how some campus safety programs are. I went to Temple U for most of my undergrad and trust me I wish I could have carried there. Most of their LEO at the time were retired cops from other departments who still had full police powers. I just thought it was interesting...and of course leave it to Texas to lead the way. Dan- One thing I've learned is that people don't think about preparedness, whether it's personal, IT, or corporate security until they have an incident and have a need for it most of the time. Then they scramble to get something together and do it half way to save money. It seems to take someone personally being impacted by something for them to react but I guess that's just a faulty human nature. The prime example is that people don't prepare for weather events like snow until the last minute. Even here in the Northeast. I find it funny how everyone doesn't do anything until the forecast comes out and predicts snow...then everyone runs to the store and empties the shelves. Ok I took this off topic and I am sorry. I haven't had my coffee yet this morning.

In the past 24 hours I've been hearing news that Texas is considering a law to allow students to CCW on campus. I know the CCW laws in Texas are much more gun owner friendly than they are here in NJ. I don't know much about this but that's just what I've heard on the news and read on a few websites. Just thought I would pass this along to my fellow board members in case any of you have children considering going to college in Texas. The only issue I see with this is the fact that so many college students drink and we all know that drinking alcohol and carrying firearms is not a good mix.

Sorry I missed all the fun. Stomach virus hit my house over the weekend. That's what I get when ya live with a teacher!

I'm not a lawyer but I guess he has to kick his son out of his house and not let him come over.

Here I was thinking that I was special getting emails like this...now I really feel unloved

I too used to get those frequently. I have a decent internet prescence and because of that I get junk like that all the time. I also get the Nigerian women who claim to live near me and want to meet me but they are stuck in a foreign country and their passport expired and they need me to wire them thousands of dollars so that they can renew their passport. That's why I've changed the email address I use for business and I have one that I use for personal use now exclusively. I too send them back a nastygram and I also sent the information to the FBI website too so that they could track it. It never ceases to amaze me what people will do for a quick buck. Sad thing is that they usually prey on vulnerable people.

My original post was not saying that this case was going to the Supreme Court. I was referring to the justices of the NJ Supreme and the Circuit Court of Appeals. I think we'll be lucky if this goes to the district courts before 2013 let alone the Supreme Court. I was involved in a case several years ago (not surrounding gun issues but a wrongful death suit) and it was 4 years before the case even had a date on the calendar. This battle is going to take years and that's what I meant when I expressed concern regarding any change in the judicial make up of the state or Federal court system before the case gets before a judge for oral arguements.

The real battle will begin when this gets before the justices and they have to write their decision. The two sides can write whatever they want in the end it's what the justices believe to be true that matters. How they look at the laws in the end is what will decide this and what scares me the most is that the longer this case goes on the chance for some of the justices to change becomes greater as some of them may decide to retire rather than get their names attached to this decision. If the court remains a liberal court then the decision may not be as we want it and then the appeal process will begin. So far this is going just as expected. I think the brief that was written by SAF et al was well put together and referenced some great cases to support their opinion. Unfortunately I am not a lawyer or one of the justices hearing the case.

Anyone on this side of the fence could anticipate the response that SAF et al would make to the defendants. I believe it was a well prepared answer to the latest bovine feeces spewed by the defendants. Now the real wait begins to see what the NJ court system says. Will they go against their own lawmakers/legislators in the state and support the citizens or will they stand firm in support of legislators.

While I have never served in the Armed Forces, I have worked with many former service members. I learned very quickly their limits and what they would and would not take from each other. As the civilian it was extremely interesting to be in a room full of former service members. I used to think mixing cops and firefighters was bad....that was a cake walk compared to the ball busting that goes on between service members.

We just may have to take away your man card for that! Spend the weekend with your girlfriend there will be other IDPA events. The consequences of not spending the weekend with her will be far greater than if you miss 1 IDPA event.

That's cool Nick I was just busting your chops about it.

I was told about the sushi but I wasn't told about HALF PRICED sushi....while I'm always looking for a good bargin something just doesn't seem right about half pricd sushi...is it left over from the day before???? I'm looking forward to meeting up with all of you....yeah even you Steph

Greetings from a fellow North Brunswick resident. Do you know whom the Det. is that handles permits? You can message me off the site if you wish to not mention the name publicly. I have yet to get a permit but I am going to be doing so shortly. Thanks and again welcome to the forum. There are a great group of people here.

I will admit to being the one member of this forum that Wojo is probably talking about. Wojo and I are in parallel industries and I really enjoyed the Workplace Violence presentation his company put on. In today's economy any business owner needs to do everything they can to protect their business and clients. Workplace violence can and does happen every day throughout the country and throughout the world. Having insurance will only cover you so far but developing a complete workplace violence plan is the way to go. I urge any and all of you that own your own businesses or are responsible for sales, HR, customer service or just about any part of a business to attend the next Workplace Seminar webinar that Wojo's organization puts on. You will definitely take away lots of good information and it will open your eyes to just what can happen in what initially appears to be a very simple incident and how they can escalate. Wojo I said this before to you...thank you for inviting me to attend this webinar.

Thanks for the info Bryan. My father passed away in 96 and that's honestly when I learned the most about the organization because many of my family members discussed his being a part of the Masons. It might be something to look into down the road. Right now I'm concentrating on developing more clients and or finding employment. I do appreciate your following up with me on this.
