Glad to hear it's finally resolved.

I was at the meeting yesterday and was sitting way in the back behind the "bluewavenj.org" people. I had a cane and wore an Air Force Veterans hat. I could have sat closer but the Bluewave people were claiming that the seats were reserved. I then told one of the officials I was looking for a seat and he said "first come first serve, there are no savings seats". The Bluewave people apparently overheard this and as I turned around to sit in one of the closer front row seats they swooped in and sat down. So much for civility. I was called on to speak close to the end of the proceedings, but could not think of anything to say that had not already been said, and said better than I could have done. Anyway what could anyone say in two minutes on seven individual bills that would sway the minds of people who have an anti-gun bias that spans decades if not their entire lifetime? During the meeting Senator Weinberg summed up the democrats philosophy by saying something to the effect that she's going to do whatever she thinks is best for the people of NJ. Well the people of NJ were there to voice their own opinion but no one was listening. So much for a representative form of government. It seems speaking to our so-called Reps doesn't work. We would have been better off standing outside in protest and boycotting the meeting. Thus garnering media attention for our cause and putting some heat on what was going on inside.

Just another example of NJ's ongoing anti-gun agenda. NJ has a history of looking the other way and allowing PD's to enact whatever requirements they want to when it comes to firearms licensing or purchasing. We as good citizens follow the law as written... the problem is, NJ keeps changing the interpretation whenever they feel like it and in the end we're in trouble no matter what we do. IMO: At the least.... we need to have a Firearms Ombudsman in NJ. One that is not politically appointed or motivated. Someone we can go to if we have a complaint or want clarification on existing NJ firearms law. Someone who has the actual power to rectify our problems in a timely and just manner. < I am not a fan of more government... but we need someone who is impartial and will listen to us. I'm tired of talking to our deaf and dumb politicians. >

Done.

I like this pen, but the ink bottle is too big to fit in my car. Seriously though, I suppose there are many every day items you could use in a self defense situation.

Registered for Winslow bus. See you all in Trenton.

Registered today.

Ha! That cracked me up. The visual imagery was too much!

Welcome.

The black Kershaw Clash (spring assist) is my EDC. I sharpen it with a Gerber pocket sharpener. -works for me.

The Delaware LEO said only resident Florida CCW's were o.k. (?) I looked at the Delaware AG's page (http://attorneygeneral.delaware.gov/crime/concealedweapons.shtml) I didn't see anything that mentions Florida CCW had to be Resident Only. The Florida page (http://licgweb.doacs.state.fl.us/news/concealed_carry.html) does NOT mention Delaware only accepts Florida Resident CCW's. From what I've read it seems as though they accept resident and non-resident Florida CCW's. But..... on usacarry.com the main reciprocity map page says Delaware accepts all Florida CCW's, but the Delaware info page (http://www.usacarry.com/delaware_concealed_carry_permit_information.html) says Delaware accepts Florida Resident only. ??????? How are you supposed to follow the law with such misinformation?

I want the F.P.I.D. to be separate and not on my Drivers license. It's bad enough living in this messed up state without taking any of it's craziness with you when you travel. If my F.P.I.D. were part of my drivers license then any state I would travel in or any store that needs an ID would know I that I likely own firearms. What about when you rent a car? The car rental agency may make new policies regarding NJ driver's who have an F.P.I.D. endorsement on their license. Who knows where this will lead. IMO such info should be keep as private and as separate as possible.

Day by day things keep getting worse instead of better. It is very disheartening to see government officials circumventing our rights and the rights of others.

Very sad turn of events. It was 100% preventable. Prayers to all involved.

Good one. Thanks.

Done.

Maybe you don't believe they are Native Americans ...that's your choice. If you don't want to be pc yourself, Asians didn't come from Asia nor Europeans from Europe. And where-ever your family came from before they came to America most likely is not native to you either because their ancestors came from somewhere else also. Even if we narrowed the results for the American Indians to the last thousand years, they would still have been here. For all intensive purposes I think that would qualify them as natives more than you or I or any settlers that came here. The overwhelming majority of all Internet search engines agree that they are indeed Native Americans. And by the way, "Attacking settlers" has nothing to with the issue at all. If Rutgers is where you gained your knowledge of history, I'd ask for a refund. My apologies to the OP for going so far off topic, but it seems we can't make innocent comments any more without people putting them under a magnifying glass and finding some perceived fault. The use of foul language as a means to somehow bolster the validity of ones opinion is juvenile and rude (even if it is followed by a smiley face.) If it was a joke... I don't get it.

I think the only militia Jersey would allow us to have is an "Air-soft" Militia. -but then again they might allow us to have muskets and powder horns, but only if we were being attacked by hostile Indians (no offense to any native Americans out there.)

Q. Jim-bob walks into the internet with $50 cash. He adds to his shoping cart 20 rounds of .22lr JHP and 20 rounds of .38 +P that are 2x the cost of the .22lr. He has $3.60 left over. What did he have for lunch? A. 1. the internet doesn't accept cash. 2. nobody has ammo. 3. he didn't eat lunch 'cause he was too busy reading this thread.

My wife's response came after she filled out the on-line NRA-ILA form to send a letter to her Reps about protecting our 2nd Amendments rights. Her response letter correctly said "opposition". My response hasn't come yet. She used the original unedited NRA letter whereas I edited my response... we'll see if that makes any difference.

"Suzy walks into a store with $50. She buys a shampoo and lipstick, the lipstick is 2x the cost of the shampoo. She spends half the remaining money on a purse and leaves with $15. How much does each item cost?" Answer: Ask Suzy.

Welcome aboard.

Welcome.
