...and earning every penny...

The ones that come up on the food blogs: Local smoke in Cookstown. Brother Jimmy's in New Brunswick. Local Smoke in Neptune. Jersey Shore BBQ in Belmar. I've not eaten in any but please stay away from Ed's in Matawan and Dave's everywhere.........

Done.

Politicians have more in common with those who can source,buy,own and use guns illegally that with one of us.

The particular skill set necessary to be a successful politician in New Jersey is not usually present in the average legal gun owner but rather in the opposite.

It was reported with pictures in the Buffalo News...Sorry I don't have a link.

I've been emailing and writing on average 2 to 3 a week but still get the same form reply's the rest receive. At this point I believe they are overwhelmed or more likely already made up their minds so any reply is merely a formality. I think it's in Christie's hands now and he's just weighing his options in regards to a future run at the Whitehouse.

Your redeeming feature is you don't take your self so damn seriously and actually have a clue.

You're still relatively new but stick around and you'll find that the OP is not exactly the brightest crayon in the box and a renown attention seeker. Let's all celebrate his good fortune however and hopes he's as forthcoming with the tax man as he is with us....that is if he hasn't been already.

Even more ironic is the poster who's entry got moved to the restricted topics and now he has to pay to read his own words and the topic he initiated......

"In the battle of inches you start with a yard...after the wailing and beating of chests subsides you've gained a foot" Exactly... a tried and tested strategy.that all sides are familiar with but some are better at implementing it than others.I dare say our fine Governor is testing his mettle as we speak and we'll know soon enough how he fares.

I believe that also but I wouldn't underestimate just how much is being flipped,bouncing around the various sites and blogs you'll see just how panicked folks are and what they are willing to pay...A perfect storm of supply,and unreasoning demand.

Fortunate in the fact that I kept quite a bit of my main caliber [9mm] on hand before the SHTF but availability or lack there of and the utterly outrageous prices being asked prevents me from doing much shooting or buying. I am astounded at the ferocity of some of our members when a lot of 9mm is offered and equally astounded at the asking prices but what really get me is that some of the very same players in these transactions are there to pipe in when the subject of hoarding,profiteering and the sad state of ammo come up,as it frequently does. Also I do admire the noble and patient ones who has been forum members but silently so for years and fortuitously reemerge with "overbought" or "sold the gun but hung on to the ammo" lots at times asking 100%+ markups to save the day. Perhaps I'm a fool....no I am a fool... but I'll just wait and see what develops and hang on to my stash.

I think most CZ 75 owners would have to argue with the "better ergo's" part of your statement. The PX4 is also in a whole different category, being a smaller,lighter gun the recoil is not the same or less than either of the other guns, at least not in 9mm which is what I fired.

Actually.... it's Gaugxing in Mandarin

While I have been lucky recently and have a very good tenant that has become a friend,it was not always the case and I saw first hand just how manipulative and petty some people can be. Without too many details suffice to say my devout Muslim tenant took exception to the retired Jesuits residing in the building and the yearly Christmas party held in the lobby. I was sued for not disclosing that the building and it's tenants could pose a discriminatory and potentially distressing environment... It was tossed out, naturally, but not after several days and thousand in legal fees.

A viable option but you have to be diligent and lucky to successfully rent in NJ. Diligent when doing background,credit,references checks,lease agreements,maintenance,taking before and after photos....and even after all that,Lucky to get the right tenant that would treat your property if not like his/her own,at least respectfully. I have found from experience that the laws are on the tenants side and a smart but malicious tenant can make the experience at the very least trying.

I always planned to spend my elder years traveling with most of the year spent overseas but with New Jersey as home base. Now I fear that is up for debate.....The recent developments in New Jersey and indeed America with these asinine gun laws is just a harbinger of a larger, more insidious trend towards largely abandoning the constitutional republic for a more socialist slant. I fear that is the straw that broke this camel's back.

....I guess it's really in the eyes of the beholder after all....

I fired them both and opted for the CZ.... most do...... I urge you to do the same.

I hesitate to post at this point....but Jamaica even with it's issues has so much to offer. The country is beautiful,Tropical rain forest,great diving and fishing,excellent food,world class resorts,Port Royal,Kingston market,Jerk,Amazing rum,Jamaican cigars,Blue mountain coffee,Masish Water and Jerk,Acee and salt fish.natural ganja, fruit you have never seen before,Cricket and 5 pm tea,Red Stripe and, amazing beaches.

Congrats....

Personally not a 1911 fan but I do admire the craftsmanship and effort that went into that fine firearm. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Done.
