Is it legal for me to do this with a handgun in NJ?
I drive a UPS truck. If you are given a return shipping label by the manufacturer, you can pack it (best is in a hard case ie plastic box from manufacturer or pelican), label it, and hand it to your driver. You MUST notify us verbally. We treat them as high value packages and they go into a locked cage to decrease the chances for sticky fingers. If you are paying for the shipment, you must bring it to a customer counter at one of our buildings, unless you have a scheduled pickup at your house or place of business. In either of those cases, you must still notify the driver verbally. Howard: My route is in Randolph, and yes I know the husky house too. If you need more info, PM me and I will answer any Qs, or send Sue over. I'm the big red head wearing all brown. If you see me give a honk or a wave.

Shooting Stray Bear
A farmer in Stillwater up here in Sussex County was fined thousands of dollars and had his hunting license suspended 5 or 6 years ago. That of course doesn't include legal fees which were probably thousands too. The bear won't bother you unless you give it reason to. My kids have come in from playing and left the garage door open. I took the trash out one night and found a medium sized bear pawing at my cans. I told it to go away in a stern voice and it did. I get that its unusual for you, but going into the city is not the norm for me, it may be for you. Given the choice between a bear in a dark garage and a gang in a dark alley, I'll take the bear any day.

couple different questions, before i get back out into the shop
The easiest way to deal with the rain water is to put an overflow valve (simple as drilling a hole or two) in the top of a 55 gal plastic drum. If you are using a bladder, it will likely have a built in overflow. The overflow will allow the water to turn over as it rains and reduce the likelihood of it growing funky. As for treating it, PUR filters work well, or you can use 2 drops of household bleach per quart of water and let stand for 15 minutes to kill any crypto, giardia, etc.

Handgun storage in a safety deposit box?
Wouldn't the inside of the SDB be "property owned or controlled" by me? I would have a signed rental agreement for the box and thereby be within the travel exemptions. I'm not sure I would use that as my first option, but there is at least a reasonable argument on why it could be GTG.

Kimber Solo
Good call from my view. My wife's Solo had FTF and FTE most of the time. Kimber replaced parts on 2 different trips back. When we picked it up, after the second warranty service, the shop agreed that test firing it was a good idea. FTF on the first 2 rounds. FTE on the 5th. They stood by us and said that they would send it back again or refund the full purchase price. Guess who sold her Solo back to the shop?

Does a Homeless Man have a Second Amendment Right to Carry
I see potential in your line of thought. SCOTUS has ruled that requiring people to have ID to vote is unconstitutional based on it representing a burden on a voter without the financial resources to pay the state for a DL or other acceptable ID. NJs regulations could be viewed in the same light, except we're not talking $20 min every few years for renewal for ID, we're talking thousands of dollars a year for an address that would be accepted by NJs gun laws.

Pantano vs NJ or CCW is coming... sorta maybe not quite
My point was that the letter at the end doesn't really matter, its just a letter. Any one of us could declare or change affiliation at any time. The important part is his ideology. I don't think McGreevy would pick a right wing conservative, maybe not even a middle of the road logical thinker like we all hope he turns out to be.

He was appointed by McGreevy if that gives you any indication.

Birthday Selfie...
If you do end up going for a 1911, look at the Springfield Range Officer too. Some improved components without going overboard. Match grade barrel and trigger but average sights and grips. You can upgrade later if you want, but its beautiful out of the box and shoots like a champ. Right around your budgets top end, but a great gun for the money.

NJGF redirected to Brady website?!?!
There is a classic one with the White House's website and a porn site. Anything to get clicked...

what setting do you have your electronic ear muffs at?
I turn mine on before the shooting starts and adjust them so that normal conversation is at a normal volume. I don't need them to be set super loud, enough to hear some one say something when there are no loud bangs.

Vacation deals?
Ever think about Williamsburg, VA? You have history if thats your thing, Busch Gardens, Water Country USA, an hour or so to Norfolk and VA Beach. Lots for whatever you like. Its a bit of a drive, but if you're going for a week, its not too bad. I bet its cheaper than Disney too.

Need some outside views...
It seems to me that the VA told New York that they wouldn't share mental health records with them after the SAFE Act was rammed through. Here it is: http://www.thenewyorkworld.com/2013/03/11/veterans-safe-act/ I don't know enough about the VA to be sure, but why would they tell one state and not another. Tell your friends to get the help they need, and hope it holds true in NJ too.

RIP 'DLF'
So sorry for your loss. My family was at Arlington last year. I have seen the Changing of the Guard several times, but it was a first for my wife and sons. They were incredibly moved by the honor and tradition. I know it wasn't him, but he was a part of the Old Guard that brings tears to the eyes of people every day. What an amazing story to pass on. God speed Sgt.

Tennessee Report
I was just down in Charleston, SC for a week and their Walmart's prices were good. 3 box limit with a line forming at 0630 for a 0700 opening. 150 rounds of American Eagle 9mm for $45ish with tax, 3 100 round WWB of .45 for $120ish with tax. Generally in line with pre hysteria prices. Only problem was that they only had ammo 3 of the 7 mornings I went.

Working on an FFL for a New Location in Sussex County
Are you going to have regular hours, or will it be hit or miss? I'm less than a mile from you and would love to stop in.

Sussex co NJSP Newton question
The good news is that one of the female troopers is pregnant and can't go on the road. She is doing the paperwork with him. Together they might be able to make some headway. Of course it will still be months, because they don't have a sense of urgency about the process.

We're Doing it Wrong!
If you want a single, simple place to start, how about going after something like a pistol that goes back for warranty service and needs to have the slide replaced. Currently we need to get a new P2P. Look to change it to a call to update the spent P2P with Trenton (not that its ideal, but that would still be better than current). We already passed the background check at least twice to buy the origninal. Its not a huge change, but I agree, if we can start small and build, maybe we could gain some decent momentum.

Child molester loose in South Jersey **Arrested**
That must have been incredibly hard to post, but thank you for having the courage to do it. I pray for a fast solution and one that is as painless for you and the rest of your family as possible.

Pointless info that could actually help!
Churches. They're everywhere and most are usually open to the public a good portion of the day.
