Doomsday Prepper shoots own thumb
Our government would never warn us about something like that. I dont think the bicycle (one of wich was electric!) will tow that trailer too well!! Ken

Bad range day in Millstone today...Cops visited
We told them they could shoot with us if they wanted to but they laughed it off. We have a few LEO buddys that shoot out there already but no State LEO's. BTW, I am not a name dropper and did not mention that fact. I didnt need to, they where good guys. All of my experiences with the NJSP have been good, even when they are the ones that pulled me over Ken

Bad range day in Millstone today...Cops visited
Thats the only thing we are really worried about. We have a good idea what individual called the cops and may go try to reason with them face to face like people used to do back in the day. We will compromise. Were not trying to be jackasses about it and tell them this is what we do, tough. Hell, maybe we can get them to come shoot with us! I dont think that could make it any worse. Ken

Ruger MkIII Hunter
I got out on the farm today (see my post in bucket 3) and got a few hundred rounds through this pistol. I am very happy with it and would recommend it to anyone considering it. To me it is a very balanced very accurate pistol. Rite out of the box I could shoot a nice group (about 2 iinches) at 7 yards and I did manage to hit a 30" x 30" steel target at 100 yards about 9 out of 10 times. I think once I get the sights adjusted it will be one of my most accurate pistols. Just make sure you put it down quick when the cops come. Just my $.02 Ken

Bad range day in Millstone today...Cops visited
tannerite. It is a kind of grey area in new jersey. Technically it is legal all the way up to the point where it goes boom. We dont use more than 1lb and dont use them very frequently. They are dam cool though. BlueLineFish.. The two that came to see us today where dam good. Im not even slightly upset about it because of the outcome. There needs to be more LEO's like you/the two that came to see us today. They where really good. They were nervous at first because there was 2 of them and 10 of us. We helped too. We put all the guns down and backed away from them and didnt do anything jerky or suspicious. I know if I where in there shoes I would be a little cautious about approaching too. They both did cover their guns when they got out of the cruisers but never acted aggressively in any way. That made the whole situation go better for us all. Ken

Bad range day in Millstone today...Cops visited
Im juat glad that they where 2 good LEO's. It could have gone a lot worse. Especially considering the fact that I turned my head with a loaded pistol in my hand because I thought I saw something... I did, 2 cruisers rite behind us!! Everything we had was indeed jersey legal but that doesnt mean much if the LEO doesnt understand NJ law either. I juat wanted to share a positive LEO story Ken

Bad range day in Millstone today...Cops visited
As the title says... We have been shooting here legally for about 15 years without any problems at all up until today. Someone decided its time to complain (new york transplant into a McMansion). The state police have to investigate these things so the sent out 2 cruisers in a big rush. we saw them coming and decided to walk up and meet them so as to remove ourselves from the table with many guns on it. The two that came out where younger troopers that did determine that we where shooting in a safe manner. This is after they saw what we where shooting (AR15, Mosin's, AK, SKS, various other pistols and rifles). Now, I gotta give the NJSP some props here because they did not give us any grief about our guns. They questioned the legality of the exploding targets though and decided that we can continue to shoot! I did not expect that! There are still some good 2nd amendment appreciating cops out there. They treated us with respect instead of treating us like a suspect. They also said they where going to stop at the complainants house to inform them that we where within the law.. I truly wish they should have had the guts to say something to us instead of call the cops though. Hopefully there is no new ordinance in the township coming up now... That was my Sunday. Ken

Doomsday Prepper shoots own thumb
I guess prepping is the latest reality sensation now. So are gun reality shows. This could be good or bad for our hobby. I think Doomsday preppers spends a little too much time focusing on firearms to the point that it cast a negative immage on all firearms enthusiasts. The scared of guns crowd looks at a show like that and decides that these people are nuts and the have guns. They cannot seperate that in their minds. I got one weird comment already from an anti gun coworker because he watched that show and knows of my collection. Now this guy goes and shoots his thumb off..........that doesnt help us any Ken

Doomsday Prepper shoots own thumb
That guy didnt have a good plan at all. He was using a modern day electronic fuel injected vehicle to get to his bugout location 40 minutes away? An EMP would wipe that thing out clean and he would be screwed out of his bugout. I wonder why the "experts" didnt pick up on that. I doesnt surprise me that he shot his thumb off. He wasnt even prepared for the situation he was prepping for. NatGeo probably edited out the shooting of the thumb. I would bet money they have it on film. Ken

any fnh ps90 owners?
Cheyane mountain in Hamilton NJ had one on the shelf as of last night. I looked at it because it looked weird (to me anyway). They can be asses to deal with sometimes if they are busy but I still manage to spend way too much money there anyway. Ken

22lr ammo shortage?
Is it just the gun shops around me or is this a bigger problem? I cant get CCI mini mags anywhere. They are not in stock at any of my usual online sites either. I like some of the Aguila ammo and cant seem to find in stock anywhere either. Dicks in freehold, the sportsmans center in bordentown and cheyanne mountain in Hamilton dont even have the 525 round boxes of Remington?! And since im complaining about ammo, I cant find any decent surplus 7.62x51 either. Ken

You should hit them up to upgrade you. I get about 45 down and 30 up with fios. They alos dont give me a hard time about running a server. I dont think my IP has changed more than 2 times in 6 years. For everyone else, I wouldnt go back to comcrap if it was free. They blamed everything on my wiring like others have experienced. My internet would be out at least every 5th time I went to my PC. Their answer was to unplug everything and plug it back in. That worked about half the time. You could not even try to run a server with them, just forget it. Also, I had my fios ONT (the box outside your house) , my router, and both cable boxes blown up by lightning and Verizon fixed it all in 2 days. I could not ask for anything more.
