Duppie

We drive 6 to Montreal just for dinner....It's really beautiful up there and great for wringing out a car or bike.

OK...It's double your ideal drive time requirement and I have not stayed there myself but a good friend swears by the place. It's called Still Bay Resort in the Lake George region,It's secluded without being to far away from the Village and there's good restaurants,cafes,boat rentals,fishing and the mighty Adirondacks. Just a thought.

It's been awhile but the wife and I stayed at Porches B&B in New Hope Pennsylvinia and I remember there was no shortage of good B&B's,dining,sightseeing ,shopping,bike riding along the canal and nightlife. It gets rather raucous and crowded around this time of year but good fun, just ask if there are any Bike meets near where you decide to stay because God knows those bikers can party. Harry...Harry... What say you?

...As do I,it makes sense especially in NJ...

I asked a similar question not too long ago about mailing or transporting just the frame and trigger housing on a Sig p250 and the consensus was that if the firearm's serial number was stamped on the frame, trigger assembly, ect it was indeed considered a "whole' gun and therefore has to be transported as such.

Their prices are great and all the better with free shipping. I just ordered .357 and .38's, now looking at another 500 rounds of 9 mm. I did recieve an email stating that because of the overwhelming response shipping will be slightly delayed.

Also coincides with the grand opening of Jollibee in JC. Chicken joy anyone?

Thanks, just ordered 3 boxes of the .357 as well as some .38's.... Those prices as well as free shipping is a good thing.

Thanks...I figured as much, not that I was going to drill holes in a piece of metal that has the ability to blow up in my face anyway.

An ad popped up on my Facebook page for something called a Rudius 1911 from Ares Armor.it is advertised as a 80% finished 1911 that can be legally sold to an unrestricted person directly without the benefit of going through a FFL or I would assume, needing a P2P. As far as I can tell from a very brief video, the frames are non serialized and require some drilling, grips and assembly to make a functioning 1911. The pre ordered kits are being offered for $99.00 for one and can go as high as $699.00 depending on what parts you choose. Is this even legal?

As I understand it Billy finally got fed up with what he considered to be the constant petty whining and especially the entitled attitude some of the newer members of NJGF displayed, not only in the store and range but especially on the forum when they were not appeased and catered to one busy Saturday morning.Now good business decision or not remains to be seen and I was effected as well as the rest of us. I can see where a business has to determine at some point if all the perks offered outweighs the time and effort one has to expend to remain in good standing in a rather small community or cut ties and live with yet undetermined losses.

Speaking from experience, while your ex may be amicable and cooperative NOW, please do not underestimate the influence a lawyer may possibly have turning a seemingly straightforward and peaceful separation and divorce into a shitstorm. Protect yourself and try to keep rhetoric to a minimum if not for the benefit of your shared property at least for your guns. And good luck,a divorce is never easy on anyone but the lawyers.

I think it's become a moot point,Billy and Kyle have shown their distaste for NJGF and some of it's members by their very silence even when they were vendors on this forum. They have a problem with customer service apparently as do many growing and busy enterprises and as smart businessmen,hopefully they will fix it but taking advice from NJGF members I fear is not in the cards.

Now that's not only funny, it's become my moment of zen for the day...Thank you.

Exactly...There are quite a bit of the so called "penny auction" sites around now and they all rely of the fact that some people get so caught up in the excitement and rush of the bidding that they forget that even though their bid is for penny's, it sometimes cost them quite a bit more than the item costs in a store.

Every coupon I've had was redeemed for ammo without any issues.

Therein lies the secret of excellent customer service.....except it's not a secret but actually intuitive and common sense.We all know the big turn offs but my personal triggers are no greeting,no eye contact and avoidance body language, all of which we pick up on and react accordingly whether we know it or not.

I don't believe he unloaded but drew his gun instead.At least that's how I read it.

Yes.I've taken a good friend to SS to introduce him to the sport,we were both in customer service in Manhattan for years,myself as a trainer and quite frankly not easily impressed. After only two visits my friend remarked that while he generally liked SS he thought that Phil's firm but easy going way was the best thing about SS. I tend to agree.

I've been shooting there for almost a year and while I don't shoot every week,I'm still there often enough to be remembered but strangely every time it's like they don't know me. It's a little off putting especially because when I leave I make it a point to thank the staff loudly and with eye contact.I enjoy Phil's company and value his guidance but have yet to connect with anyone else at Shore Shot. Pity really.

Unfortunately I believe we will hear and see more of these blatant violations as our police forces become more militarized and able to attribute the shift in law enforcement policy to the war on terror and cuts in funding and hiring.It's just more expedient and efficient to use such tactics than to proceed with a lengthy and expensive traditional investigation. It was a judgment call but one that would not have been made just a decade ago IMO for fear of the lawsuits as well as citizen backlash. No such fear exists today and only succeeds in perpetuating the us against them perception.

I do the same with the ammo to top off my stock,comes out to .22 cents a round for Remington 9mm and I just keep filling out their survey and printing another $10.00 coupon.

Get it. I contemplated getting a firearm just before buying my last house and didn't....it took 16 years before I found the time,finances and wherewithal to finally do it.

I believe it a twofold example of a possible boom to the pro gun lobby.1: When the ban goes into effect and there is no noticeable decrease of gun violence and even an increase before and after the elections it will prove in tangible terms that buybacks and to deprive the populace of legally owning firearms and defending themselves is a fools errand. 2: Illustrates that in times of political crisis the powers that be find it necessary to tightly control firearms and can only do so when legally registered. The borders with Venezuelan is so porous that arms and ammo pour across it's boundaries with Columbia,Brazil and even the Guyana's so the only persons the ban will effect is legal gun owners who for the most part is still among Chevez's opposition and repeatedly preyed upon by government backed and armed gangs. There is a lot we in America can take away from Venezuela's conflicts especially in our own uncertain times.

Beautiful Mr Bob....hoping to finally caress my own S&W soon.
