Old Glock guy

Here's a hot deal on a Mossberg 500 Tactical (that I'm trying to resist): https://www.preppergunshop.com/mossberg-500-shotgun-mossberg-500-tactical-12ga-20-barrell-cylinder-choke-7rd-matte-black-finish-with-heat-shield?mc_cid=c4ba05e481&mc_eid=7f51d1e24a

Rented one at GFH, just to try it out. Nice gun to shoot, and good looking as well. Good luck with yours!

Neither did I, but I had a pretty good notion that it was going to be entertaining.

Nice video, Triple P. Very smooth!

Yes, I totally agree that's their calculation.

Silly question, but before they further restrict 2A rights, shouldn't they be required to show how it will make the public safer? Specifically, adjustable stocks, pistol grips, flash hiders, bayo lugs, mag limits are all a bunch of BS that will protect no one. Just asking rhetorically, because I realize I'm preaching to the choir here.

As we continue to import massive numbers of immigrants from Third World countries who come here looking for handouts, all of our states will continue to turn bluer and bluer.

I believe that is their ultimate goal.

Anything can make it through, but five round mags are pretty uncommon, to the best of my knowledge. I suspect they will use this bill, as they have done in the past, to make a ten round mag limit seem reasonable, like they are willing to compromise with us.

Well, yes, I guess armed revolution could work. But I would be careful discussing it in a public forum.

Well, I would hope that it was a lot higher than 30% with this group.

I hate to sound cynical, but we can march all we want, and we can try to reason with them. But they are just going to ignore us and pass a ton of anti-2A laws, and smugly pat themselves on the back for being "tough on guns."

I would bet that most of us here voted. The hard work is getting other like-minded people out to vote. Well, that and the fact there are 800,000 more Dems than Reps here.

I see there is a bill in there to permit concealed carry for those who are trained, and not otherwise disqualified. What are the chances of that one getting through? Gotta give them credit for trying.

I believe the term is "a serious threat," which Christie had softened slightly from "a specific, immediate threat." That change from impossible to nearly impossible had the Dems screaming that pizza delivery drivers would be carrying guns, thereby endangering all of us.

Yes, I'm right down the road in Wayne. Maybe meet you up there sometime.

Welcome! Do you ever shoot trap and skeet up at Thunder Mountain near you?

I'll admit it, I'm a fair weather shooter. I head to an indoor range, and don't come out until I see my shadow, sometime in March. If it gets up to the high 30's or above, I might do a little trap and skeet, but no way I'm sitting at a bench outdoors when it's in the 20's.

Now if only they could close "The Gun Show Loophole," we would never have to deal with illegal guns again!

Yes, sites I've checked are currently taking pre-orders. I have the older version, which they discontinued, and I absolutely love it. Came with an RDS (Tasco, which I replaced with a Sig Romeo 5), a sling, and three 15 round mags. I believe even with the new laws we're expecting, it should be OK, except for the mags. BTW, I have six shotguns, all Mossbergs. Four are 500's in varying configurations, and the other two are a 590 A1 and a 930, which came with 18.5 and 28" barrels. FWIW, I have replaced the cheap plastic safeties on all of them with the enhanced metal ones.

This feels like a memorial thread, now that mipafox is no longer with us. Can anyone else verify that this is true, that all knives are illegal to carry in Philly?

Urban Dictionary won't help you. You need the Zeke to English dictionary. I have Federal 00 buck Flight Control in my HD SG, but I've heard that #1 or #4 buckshot are also good. And as usual, good advice from HE.

Not sure why, but I love this frigid, cold weather! I think it makes me feel rugged (which I'm mostly not). I love getting a fire going in my wood stove when it's really cold and snowing. Getting to work is no trick. I leave my garage, drive five minutes to my office, and walk about 30 feet from my car to the building entrance. But I run 45 minutes to an hour every morning. Not much to add to what others have said about layering, but perhaps just a few tips and tricks for when it's really cold, say below 20 degrees. From the bottom up, Smart Wool makes a comfortably warm, but not itchy, sock. A company called 32 Degrees makes really light, comfortable, inexpensive base layers. A pair of Gore-Tex mittens are almost too warm on all but the coldest days, and when it dips below 10 or so, I wear a light pair of gloves underneath. I have a GT knit hat for when it's really cold, and if that's not enough, a balaclava underneath does the trick. In addition to all that, I have had a GT jacket for many years that I don't use unless the temperature is below 20. I read many years ago that there are no bad days to run, just bad clothing choices. (Well, except for maybe when it's really windy.)

Drove five minutes from home to my office in my Wrangler. No problems at all, but not much happening here, so I'm sitting around goofing off and posting on NJGF.

Looks good. First I'm hearing of them. I'm always looking for new groups to train with. Anyone else here able to provide any info about these classes?
