Biased reporting and conflict of interest
Good article! I hate The Record, but I still read it a few days a week, mostly for the sports, local news, and puzzles. Also, I like to read the opinion pieces and letters to the editor, mostly just to torture myself.

Flying out of Newark with a firearm
That sounds like a good way to do it. I just tell them that I have a locked, unloaded firearm in my suitcase, and I have never had a problem. I don't go to quite the lengths of the OP to secure my gun, but I generally lock the slide back and put a cable lock through the action so they can clearly see that it is unloaded. I agree with others who say that you should take some ammo with you. At the very least, it saves having to look around for it when you reach your destination. (Although in Texas, they probably sell it right in the airports.)

Hello from Ringwood
Welcome from another resident of northern Passaic County (Wayne). Consider checking out Thunder Mountain in your neighborhood. It's a fun place to air out your shotguns and break some clays! Don't have a shotgun yet? Don't worry, you will. :-)

Can anyone suggest a NJ Compliant AK Variant?
Saiga 7.62? NJ legal out of the box, as far as I know. You can convert it at your leisure.

Trade-in Mossberg 590A1's $255 hurry 7 left!... NVM all gone :(
Damn, it's the quick and the dead on that one! I already have one, but I would have grabbed another at that price.

permits good now for 180 days?
P2P's are not about background checks. They merely serve as another deterrent to gun ownership in New Jersey. Well, I guess they also provide a source of registration, so the state can know where the handguns are when they decide to round them up.

ATF Documents Prove Fast and Furious......
So after all the fight to keep the documents secret, including the use of executive privilege, this proves what most of us knew all along. That's a huge revelation. Wanna bet it goes nowhere?

Is this a good deal on 00 buckshot?
Yes, that's a great price for 00 buckshot. Seems like a lot of places have been dumping Estate buckshot, so not sure if it's discontinued or what. Once heard a guy call it his favorite cheap shotgun ammo. Not sure if I would trust my life to it, but it's fine for plinking and blasting away at paper.

Sixth Circuit: Mental Health Gun Ban Is Unconstitutional
Wow, there's still logic and reason in Free America! Unlike here in PRNJ, where the courts say, "What Second Amendment?"
-
Bridgegate scandal lawsuit
That is really mind-boggling, that a traffic jam constitutes a deprivation of some undefined constitutional rights (life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, although that's from the DoI, not the Constitution?); but the right to keep and bear arms, which is specifically enumerated, has no standing in NJ. And BTW, I think we need to give serious thought to changing our narrative from RKBA to the right to defend ourselves and loved ones.

9mm M1 Carbine
Damn, I'm just waiting for a "go" sign on this one.

Shotgun Shootout! December 14th at Clinton WMA
Loved the video! I'm going to have to make it back to one of these sometime soon. Coincidentally, passed right by there on Saturday morning, and had the same thought.

PBS gun control poll - Hit It!
Just another poll that will never see the light of day, even though it has nearly 50,000 respondents.

Proposed New Jersey Gun Law A3931
A bill like this seems to get introduced every now and then, but of course, it never goes anywhere in this state that does not acknowledge the Second Amendment. (Note the date of the companion bill in the Senate: 2/24/14, so it's been sitting there for ten months.)

AFFORDABLE SPOTTING SCOPE
I have been perfectly happy with my cheap (under $100) Barska for the last few years out to 100 yards. Seems fine, but admittedly I have not compared it with anything else.

Credit card fraud update
Too bad it wasn't ammo!

Anyone order from brownells lately?
I see they are offering free shipping this weekend.

Anyone order from brownells lately?
Ordered a couple of items from them recently, and received them promptly.

Dick's is coming, again.
Any updates?

Flying with a handgun
As I understand it, the orange card goes outside the case. If it's in the locked case, what purpose does it serve? And yes, I have found that the procedure is often different, even at the same airport. It's been my observation that in general, it is handled more casually at airports out of the NY/NJ area.

Wait, that's not your picture in your avatar? OMG, what a relief! :-)

fitness
Great advice! You're better off making a steady, consistent effort than trying to kill yourself to get back in shape. The result of the latter is usually burnout and/or injury. Check out Pain Free by Peter Egoscue. It's a book of simple, gentle exercises to help with aches in different parts of one's anatomy. It has done wonders for me over the past ten years or so. You can get some info at: www.egoscue.com

Throwing myself under the bus
Hey, glad you're OK. That could have been nasty.
