Old Glock guy

Spoke with someone yesterday who speculated that the entire final scene was a dream Carol had in her coma. Now I'll admit that sounds a bit far-fetched, but as I thought about, I began to wonder just how Carol was able to be walking around normally, despite having been seriously injured by a car a day or two earlier. Checked TWD forums and saw nothing on this. Anyone think it's plausible?

That's a good question. Wouldn't they be lumped with tracer rounds?

That's disgraceful!

A few more Glocks?

Anyone know if the store in Wayne has firearms yet?

Tough one last night, but then I think we all kind of knew that Beth's days were numbered. Saw Emily Kinney on The Talking Dead, and she was in tears, talking about Beth's death. Seems like it's pretty traumatic when you've been working with a bunch of people you like for several years, and then you're suddenly unemployed. BTW, my nominee for hottest woman in the zombie apocalypse is Rosita. Anyone else?

Justifiable need is a Catch 22. For anyone still unfamiliar with the book, Catch 22 was that one could stop flying missions in the war just by declaring himself to be insane. But if you were aware enough to know you were insane, then you could not really be insane, so you would not be excused from duty. The only thing that constitutes justifiable need in NJ is if one is actually murdered. At that point, you are determined to have had justifiable need.

Why would anyone need a camera? ;-)

Indeed! I believe you should be able to find some in your price range. Perhaps try renting or borrowing a few to see what you like.

Did they ratify all ten, or did they leave one out?

Great deal! Thanks. Just grabbed some.

Bob, nice narrative! Almost felt I was there, next best thing to video. I don't know Stu at all, but I know Sandy a bit, certainly well enough that I would never bet against her. I should be able to get better odds on her now in the rematch. Looks like both of them are good sports who had some fun with the whole thing.

Was in the new Wayne store yesterday, and sorry to report, still no guns or ammo.

Well, first off, thanks for posting that. I'm fairly well-informed about 2A issues, and this is the first I'm hearing of it. As a practical matter, you're not going to find much support from this board, as our NJ state government has decided that all that stuff is too dangerous for any of us to own, tax stamp or not.

Thank you very much! As silverado notes, listening on an Ipod is helpful. It's also motivating if you can find other people to either work out with, or at least talk about it with. Taking fitness classes where you're one of only two or three guys in a group of 25-30 women can be fun. Go out to Dick's or Sports Authority to get some new shoes and workout clothes. Go to some message boards where people are discussing running and fitness. I'm 62 years old, and have been active my entire life. When I finished school, I wasn't playing any more team sports, so I started jogging, just to keep in shape. Thirty-five years later, I'm still a geek about my running, putting in lots of miles and competing on roads, track, and cross country, mostly at distances of 3-10 miles. I get to the gym a few days a week to work on strength, with an emphasis on core strength; and flexibility, which I find is a losing battle. Seriously, I'm a big advocate (in a quiet way) of fitness, health, and nutrition. If anyone would like more help with this, feel free to PM me. I'm not a personal trainer, and I'm not trying to sell any fitness program, or otherwise make money at this. I'm just passionate about the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and would like to help anyone who might be interested.

Not exactly the same thing, but a related question. I've been at an indoor range with partitions between the shooting stations, and had brass coming at me from the adjacent port. In each case, the shooter was all the way up to the line, with his gun extending past the wall. Would it be impolite to request that he or she move back half a step so that the casings would be blocked by the divider? I've always been reluctant to ask.

In somewhat of an irony, I can't go because I'm attending the NRA dinner in North Haledon tonight. Looks like it should be good. Hope they run it again.

So what everyone seems to be saying is that California's gun laws are horrible, arguably worse than ours. And yet even they have CCW, while we still do not. I feel like we in NJ are the stepchildren of the NRA. I was watching an NRA TV show a few days ago, where they said that all 50 states now have some form of CCW, and I wanted to scream at the TV, "Not really! Not New Jersey!"

I've been trying to take some as well. Seems they give them very infrequently. I think they had a two day handgun class last week, but I could not make it. They have a repeat of it on the schedule as a full day next month.

If anyone has input on this, please post it here, as I am interested as well.

Looks like a lot of people (me included) had Eugene pegged as being full of crap. I would have to think that few were surprised by his admission, although the timing of it was somewhat unexpected. Sorry to say this, but from a preview they showed on The Talking Dead, it looks like Beth might not make it out of next week's episode.

I don't know how to say this any more bluntly: movement is critical for health. If you can't run, just get out and walk. If you prefer a treadmill, that's fine too. It really doesn't matter. Work up to 30-40 minutes a day, at least three days a week, and preferably 5-6 (or even 7) days. Once you are doing some consistent walking, start to mix in some running. Run slowly for a little while until you don't feel like doing more, then go back to walking. Catch your breath, recover a bit, and then run a little more. As you continue to do this, you will find you are able to run more and more. Restrain your enthusiasm at first, because your heart and lungs adapt a lot more quickly than your muscles and tendons, so it is easy to get injured. If that happens, you are likely to just say screw it and skip the whole thing. If you want something more structured, there are programs for this all over the internet called C25K (couch to 5K), which will get you from complete inactivity to running 5K (just over three miles) in a few months. It's also a good idea to incorporate some light weight work 2-3 days per week, using dumbbells or even just your body weight. Some stretching and dynamic movement exercises are helpful as well, although I would recommend that you stay away from plyometrics for awhile. We can talk about diet and nutrition another time. PM me if you need more help with this.

Hey KOC, don't let them guilt you into building one if you don't want to. I bought a Stag Arms Model 2 off the shelf, took it out, and started shooting it. I've subsequently replaced the trigger with a Geissele, added an Aimpoint PRO and a sling. I've had loads of fun with it, and have used it through a few relatively intense training classes. It has run flawlessly. I think it comes down to time and money; and how interested you are in DIY projects. I'm not a big DIY guy. I would rather spend my money, and use my time for shooting and such. I've been quite happy with my decision.

Let's see if that ever makes it into the mainstream media.

The new Dick's in Wayne opened yesterday. I stopped by to check it out. It's quite an impressive store, and much to my surprise, they will have guns and ammo! Spoke with one of the sales clerks, and he said they had their FFL, but were awaiting approval form the NJ State Police (isn't that a surprise). So they only accessories there yesterday, but should have the good stuff soon.
