Duppie

If reports are to be believed, It was a S&W airweight with a bobbed hammer so determining the status and clearing of the firearm should be a relatively safe and easy task...no? Also did anyone else listen to 101.5 last week on Dennis and Judy about a man taking his family to NJ water park,broke down,asked for help from the local police only to arrested and jailed because the LEO noticed some rounds on the floor,searched and found a pistol the owner used for licensed CCW in Pensky? Apparently he's doing 3 years?

While I personally draw the line at actually carrying at home{already discussed to death} I do have one of my firearms within arm's reach from the front door.Cocked, locked and hidden {magnets from Harbor Freight} An "intruder caught in the act" or "main access intruder" scenario is at the very least addressed. With my local PD and Attorney on speed dial....Hopefully never to be utilized.

Not to be a pain but I personally doubt the average B&E criminal would pass up an item worth as much as a handgun on the streets.. Perhaps our LEO members can shed some light on your question.

....In New Jersey, I believe it's a given.....after all we pay for just about every thing else.....

...and I will be the first to lead them to you....You are proberly one of the few who carry in your own home also.

.......and you are about 14, in the chess club,find it diffucult to talk to girls and your best friend is a warm sweat sock?.......

I keep all my mags loaded,1 mag each with HD rounds in the guns and the rest with target rounds in my range bag.

Picked up my permits today and attached is a small note stating "Handgun permits will only be renewed for an additional 90 days when accompanied with a letter to the Cheif of Police stating the reason needed for the extention AND a reciept from a gun shop stating that the gun is on backorder". Last round of permits only required a reasonable written explination to the chief for the extension....now WTF?

I am cognizant of the challenges these fine leathernecks face but in essence they only follow the HMFIC's orders and forced to face the consequences.

I too trust the Marines would not be put into a position where they could not defend their charges or selves without live ammunition......thus my posting. It was unbelievable for first sniff but it was still posted and here we are..........

Perhaps other trusted news sources should be polled before posting possible inflammatory and misleading web articles. We have basically policed some forum members who played fast and loose with the truth and have enjoyed a period of succinct and relevant if not controversial postings. I dare say I at times miss the controversy and dialog a contrary post can bring but not at the cost of the truth.

I tried...sincerely tried to watch some of these "Reality" firearm shows and while I'm encouraged that there are more programs attempting to demystify guns and the people who sell,buy,own and shoot them I can barely make it to the first commercial break. The amazingly cloying dialog,formulaic set ups,requisite screw ups and supposed tense personal dramas, the cobbling together of some atrocious,ugly and expensive Frankenstein of a gun...and it ain't a show until some elaborately hokey set gets blown up with high fives all around. I feel somewhat insulted to think that the average person would believe so little of me as a gun enthusiast after watching these antics.

33 days in Monroe for my permits.Just got the call to pick up.

Well just recieved a call from the Monroe PD and my permits are IN......Thats 33 days from my application and I am quite happy with the Monroe Police.

edit.

I simply love HF. we all acknowledge that we're not purchasing Snap On or Milwaukee tools but they carry even the most obscure, one use doodad and some of the coolest stuff you'll properly never use but at that price?.....what the hell? I picked up the handy dandy "Helping Hand" on Saturday for $3.99, a stand with adjustable roach clip arms with another arm holding a magnifying glass. I saw it in some movie where that star used it to tie fishing fly's and have wanted one ever since. I don't fish but Dammit!... I've got one...for $3.99!!

....excuse me....second coolest. First is definitely WRC.

There's a bottle in every vehicle and I even pack some on my visits to Asia where it's some times hard to find.A must in Pho.

Like you I keep a change of clothes. Water ,slim jims and energy bars. First aid kit. Rain gear. Folding shovel. Automotive emergency kit. Blanket. 10 by 10 ft tarp. Bungee cords and duct tape. Machete. Head lamp. Jump pack. baby wipes. ...and the most important, a 17 oz bottle of Sriracha.

10 innocent civilians hurt in recent shootings involving NYPD officers.....I ask you where is the outrage,intense scrutiny,inflammatory rhetoric and grandstanding we're so used to by NYC's mayor and his lackeys? What does our fine Senator Lautenberg have to say?

JC like other proposed venues balked at the prospect of having to fund the track prep,parking,emergency services and policing of the races, did their accounting and realized that unless ticket sales was like the numbers sold at European road track venues they stood to lose not only money but the good will of it's residents. Not a smart proposal considering that traditionally JC's politicians have a nasty habit of ending up in jail.

I fear it's never going to happen, F1 in North America is akin to professional soccer....not enough interest to make it financially feasible. Montreal lost their race schedule because of waning interest and ticket sales and they were race crazy and had a true F1 circuit. I've heard rumors of venues like Baltimore,Jersey city,San Diego even Manhattan but the organizers fight a uphill battle winning fans in the land of the perpetual left turn racing and NHRA.

As others already indicated....more cranks are always good. I would only be concerned if the battery is too tall for the hood and hold down or if it's situated in the car's cabin and vent hose is not connected. Other than that you're good to go.

I bought mine from CZ Customs but their stock is all back ordered till I believe December.Angus will swap out for 15 round mags at purchase but if you have no luck soon I would reserve one before his stock is all spoken for. 15 round mags are readily available at CZ USA and they have sales frequently, also CDNN Sports has 15 round CZ's original mags in stock for $24.99/each or Meggar 14 round mags for $19.99/each. Good luck and you'll find it hard to find a better first gun.

My good Japanese blades I do with a water stones but do you do standard chef's knives? I have several sets of chef's,carving,Tong Ma's and some Globals that need some attention before the holidays....something you can handle?
