Old Glock guy

If it turns out that "justifiable need" was allowed to expire, the antis will poop their pants!

My thoughts exactly. Which is why I find it hard to get excited about this "victory" for our side.

That's exactly right. Sometimes you're better off just letting things go, than to prove you're right and be a dick about it. As someone much wiser than I am once said, what good is it to win an argument and lose a friend?

Looks like we're all thinking alike about this. They realize that their law is having the unintended consequence of blocking the development of smart gun technology, so they're willing to table it for the time being in order to eventually get what they want.

This is great advice. Can't we all just get along for the greater good? I would be happy to buy Newtonian and Alexander a beer or other adult beverage of their choice, or many beers for that matter, at the place of their choosing. We need to recall Sweeney AND we need to GOTV. Let's make it happen!

Exactly! (Well, minus your being an extra bad bad guy.) Someone looking to commit mass murder would only need a couple of hundred rounds at most. Who's going to carry 1000 rounds into a movie theater?

Interesting discussion, although it's not relevant here, as we all know that the Second Amendment does not exist in New Jersey.

Hey Newtonian, did you pick that new avatar, or did they hang it on you like a red "A"?

To those who are critical of NJ2AS without having attended any meetings to hear the plan, I would strongly urge you to at least listen to the two GFH radio broadcasts that Alexander Roubian was on. He explains the plan well, and has the full backing of Anthony Calandro and Evan Nappen among others.

Everyone should own a 10/22. Great place to start.

I have Trijicon HD sights on my Glocks: https://www.trijicon.com/na_en/products/product1.php?id=HDNS I find that my old eyes are able to pick them up faster than standard sights.

One other note on this: The lady who organized the event, Pam Geller, has had a fatwa (death threat) placed on her. Wonder if that would give her "justifiable need" for CCW in NJ? Maybe we should all organize a Mohammed cartoon festival so we can finally get carry permits. :-)

This is the essence of it. Find something you enjoy doing, or at least don't hate too much. If you dread it, you're not going to do it. Now that the weather is getting nicer, get out and walk. If you're feeling energetic, mix some running in. Don't try to get off your couch and go out for a five mile run. Gyms have gotten to be incredibly inexpensive, due to all the competition. Crunch Fitness near me has basic memberships for $12 a month, which allows you to use all the equipment. Don't waste a lot of time at the gym. You should be able to complete a full-body workout in 20-30 minutes. You don't need to grind out three sets of everything. One set each of squats, presses, bench presses, lat pulldowns, and triceps machine two or three times a week will work wonders. Five to ten minutes of stretching is plenty. Keep it simple and get it done. Like some of you, I've been dabbling in the Max 30 workouts. I don't do their cardio, as I run every day. But I've been doing their power and strength workouts. That guy kicks my butt! I've been too proud to do the modified workouts, but I can't make it through the regular workout without rest breaks. (By the third set of plyo push-ups my arms just won't work anymore.)

The big difference between this and Charlie Hebdo is that the police in Texas had guns. In Paris, they rode up on bicycles unarmed, and tragedy ensued. The hero police officer defeated them with a .45 caliber Glock, presumably a 21, against their AK's and body armor. And even though ISIS has claimed credit for this, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the cause if it is still being investigated.

It's extremely hard to be optimistic about anything involving 2A rights in this godforsaken state, where we regard victory as a legislative session that goes by with no new restrictions. Dwight, thanks for posting this. I believe you have the backing of most of us.

Not that it wouldn't be well-deserved, but no way that's going to happen.

I vote either day in the morning. And for anyone considering it, I was at the last class and would recommend it.

For my AK, it's all steel: Wolf, Tula, and some other one that I don't know the name. AR's tend to have problems with accumulating the lacquer that's used on the casings, but AK's seem to be OK with anything. That's just my experience, but perhaps someone with more knowledge can comment otherwise.

I can hear them now: "Common sense gun laws..." "Model legislation..." "For the children..." "If it only saves one life..." Blah, blah, blah. I'm about ready to puke just thinking about it. Does anyone know where we can get three round mags? Shouldn't need any more ammo than that to kill a deer.

There's your answer.

I did a little while ago. Dwight usually replies to my emails. I'll be sure to let you know what I find out. And to those promoting conspiracy theories, the SAPPA meeting was scheduled way before our Apply to be Denied event. I had heard of it a couple of months prior, and just assumed that others here had as well. Apparently, my assumption was wrong, so I was glad to be able to help make the connection between SAPPA and NJGunforums.

Were you at the NJ2AS meeting last week where they explained the strategy? Have you been to any NJ2AS meetings this year? Because if not, don't start talking trash against the plan without knowing anything about it. I don't see any reason why we can't do both. I know you cited limited resources, and certainly that's true. But we could knock off the legwork part of the Sweeney recall plan (i.e. gathering signatures on the petition) in short order, then switch over to a get-out-the-vote effort. I believe that several people acknowledged at last week's meeting that both are viable strategies.

Yes, she writes some blogs for them, and she was at the SAPPA meeting on 3/28. I'll root around a bit at TPATH and find out what's up.

Sounds like it was a good time. I've never hunted, but if I ever start, I think it will be with hogs. BTW, it's interesting to note that those big, scary AR 15 "weapons of war" that the libs all want to ban couldn't even take down a hog.

Agreed. My GF and I were in NYC. Found a bar that was charging $30 apiece and watched the whole card. (Some were charging A LOT more.) We left the moment the fight ended, and did not even bother to stick around to hear the judges' scorecards, as we were exhausted by that point and the result was obvious. Mayweather is a master tactician. I have not seen many of his fights, but I find it somewhat surprising that he can make so much money, given that he is so boring to watch. The highlight of the night for us was watching my brother-in-law judge the first televised fight. He was in the "television seat" on the side where the cameras are mostly focused. That might have been the best fight of the night, and with an 8th round KO, my BIL did not even have to post a scorecard.
