guess who is next?
Not 100% but there are a number of high worth American citizens who have surrendered their passports and taken up residence in tax havens in order to keep more of what they have earned,and the trend seems to be growing.

Is transporting loaded magazines to the range illegal?
Precisely..........

Is transporting loaded magazines to the range illegal?
Every time this subject comes up....and it comes up quite a lot,I read the same tired cliches about somehow getting "Jammed up"",standing in front of a Judge",and I ask the same question...can anyone provide a verifiable,recorded,instance of ANYONE being in this most touted position solely for legally transporting a loaded mag of NJ legal capacity? I've been asking it for years now with only a weak "Nappen said in his book"............for an answer. Gentlemen we all find our own levels of comfort and you can transport your mags in a separate vehicle than your firearms if it helps you sleep at night but the fact is a loaded mag is not a loaded gun.

I Need Radar detecter Opinions
It's not the speeds on the pike or Garden state that a radar is effective for , every one is doing 80 or 90 and you take your chances, it's the town and country roads the have 10mph speed drops that a radar comes in handy, In Monroe it's Applegarth or driving through Jamesberg where 5mph above is all it takes to accumulate a slew of tickets. I drive to Maine and Montreal maybe 4,5 times a year and the roads in the Adirondacks is perfect for spirited driving so the Valentine is a constant and valued companion.

Valentine also....my unit has saved me enough in potential tickets to purchase another car in the 8 years I've had it.

Kitchen Nightmares....
...That I don't know but if it's close to the NY area anyone on the ex student email list of ICE,French Culinary,Art Institute and CIA gets a notice asking if they would be interested in filling the seats and no, they don't pay, they only have to show up at the allotted time.

Kitchen Nightmares....
GR's record is about 40% still open as of late last year....The diners in most cases after the reno is gathered from the owners friends and family, before the reno, the customers come from culinary schools, college cooking classes and some locals after answering a questionnaire. Most if not all are coached for continuity.

Firearms Purchase Poll
I haven't bought any firearms since Newtown but have a standing order for one with CZ Customs. I did however concentrate on stocking ammo and cut back on range visits.

lets hear you gun cleaning process and things you use!
I use pretty much the same as the rest but I also use a fast drying electrical contact cleaner I get at Granger,Q tips by the dozen,and in addition to keeping all my old toothbrushes, I supplement them with the 3 pack of brushes and precision picks from Harbor Freight,the brushes,1 each of plastic,stainless and brass bristles are not only great for guns but I also use them to clean the nooks and crannys of my pots and pans,stainless sink and stove.

Kitchen Nightmares....
As is the case with "reality television" KN is largely staged and the predominant type of restaurants that agree to be featured is the one's that have little choice or alternitive and is willing to agree to the outrageous demands and altered reality of the show. Ramsey has become the Donald Trump of the food world.....once respected but now merely a cartoon character.I would not put much stock on what appears on that program.

S&w 686+ 3"
The 686 with a 3 inch barrel is on the top of my wish list but demands a premium, simply because of it's relative rarity. I am drawn to the balance of the firearm and as PB is likely to add ....the ability to fully clear spent rounds in a full stroke. With a choice of grips this configuration is by far the most attractive without sacrificing accuracy or efficiency .

Good deal??
I was looking at this same gun featured in the CDNN catalog awhile back and did some research.The gun was picked up by many Law enforcement agency's so there is a few out there as well as parts and mags, however it had a reputation for being difficult to shoot accurately,either because it didn't fit quite right,balance was off and the trigger was never a favorite.....All can be fixed and the gun modified but it costs so I passed. As your first gun I would look else where although the price seem to be good with all the extras.

revolver barrel lenght ???
I have both a 3 and 5 inch barreled revolver...that being said I would think that you would have to decide the primary purpose of the firearm. All around a 4 inch is most practical IMO.

Column about why we don't (and shouldn't) trust anti-gun people [LONG]
An excellent and balanced article with pertinent points.....I've already received 2 positive comments when I posted it on FB. Thanks matty for the link.

Getting pulled over
Perhaps I am mistaken but this subject came up before and there were at least 3 states that require you inform the trooper of a firearm in the vehicle even if stowed locked in the trunk. I'll check again.
-
Getting pulled over
That would depend on the state....some require you inform the trooper that there are firearms in the vehicle at the inception of the stop, others don't....it's up to you to check each state's individual laws in that event.

Wicked Rides Car / Boat Show Tomorrow
Very nice and brings back memories of living in the islands and looking forward to "The great race" that ran from the Trinidad Yacht Club along the north coast close to Venezuela and ended in Tobago.

Help choosing a rewards credit card
Look into Capital one for the best points/miles per dollar spent payoff.Amex Sheraton and Marriot rewards for hotel rewards if you travel a bit..... the balance is up to personal preference in the short term.

Has the fever broken?
I envy you and your friends.... I have close to 4 k rounds in 9mm,.38 and .357 and find it difficult to pack up the range bag with mags,speed loaders and extra ammo and head out to the range until such time that I can replenish my stash relatively easily and inexpensively. Call me a pack rat,miserly..even foolish but I prefer to wait until the supply has stabilized somewhat before I go punching holes in paper with rounds costing on average .40 cents to replace.

Has the fever broken?
Just about the only thing I purchase from DICK's is ammo or firearm accessories and have never had an issue using my coupons or certificates.It has been discussed in ad nauseam and the general consensus is it varies from store to store and it's management.
