Duppie

I would have to agree but I've noticed that when it comes to whales,which since the larger ban most species have come back,baby seals,which grow into large seals and decimate fish stocks,and dolphins...ok I have a soft spot for dolphins since swimming with a wild pod in my youth, All reasoning go out the window and people become de facto PETA nuts.Even resorting to violence and idiocy. PS:Whale steaks on the grill with some mustard/dill sauce is very tasty.

How long has Gear Hog been in existence? and were there better deals before?

After checking the status of my 7/22 order and finding that it was still pending, I called customer service to inquire as to the delay. The rep said that they were a bit overwhelmed by the Gear Hog offer that they were now shipping the 7/21 orders and I would be next, also she refunded me half of my shipping because of the original rep's oversight so I'm back to $54.13 for the 500 rounds shipped. E mail this morning confirming shipment is on the truck.

I'm partial to Bolivar Coronas extras myself and a decent Port but you have the right idea.... Cheers.

In keeping with the theme,We just got back from Seabra Marisqueira where we had dinner for 9. 2 seafood platters,1 cold consisting of imported Portuguese crab back dip,cracked cold lobster,jumbo shrimp,kumamoto oysters,sea snails,razor clams, and octopus salad.Hot platter had grilled lobster,gambas in garlic sauce,cockles in white wine,garlic,olive oil and cilantro,mussles in a spicy tomato sauce,clams casino,grilled bacalao,sardines and Mozambique prawns.Additionally 1 order of rare beef steak Portuguese style with ham and fried egg, and pork with clams and fried potatoes in white wine and paprika ,cod fritters and house potato chips and garlic rice,2 bottles of decent Douro Tinto, 6 Super Bocks,flan,molotov and espressos all around...... an epic meal. But in retrospect I regret the fact that I've already reviewed them on Yelp and Chowhound because in the decade I've been dining there I have never seen so many people waiting for a table. Give it a shot next time you're in hood and bring your appetite.

Seabra has it's name on everything from the import/export warehouse to a liquor store but the Seabra restaurants are not owned or operated by the same people. Seabra Marisquera is the original and was sold to 9 long time waiters about 12 years ago,up to today the senior waiters have to basically buy in to work there. Pride in ownership and it shows in the food and service.

Very popular for corporate events and dinners is Rio Rodizio at 1034 Mc Arthur highway. Huge place with decent rodizio and Sushi bar with live music on most weekends.

Spanish/Portuguese Steakhouse.

When next in the Ironbound and you want real Portuguese fare specializing in seafood,visit Seabra's Marisquera at 87 Madison Street,just off ferry. It's a little off the beaten path but is considered to be the best traditional Portuguese food in New Jersey. They have their own parking lot and is midway between two excellent supermarkets where I buy my Bacalao,Chorizo,bread,imported butter,olive oil,cheeses,olives and their great custom butcher. Around the block is a Brazilian Hamburger joint called Hambergao which serves a burger that has to be experienced in order to fully understand just how many savory ingredient can be fitted under a over sized bun.

Forgive me but Chef Phil was very clear in the video that what he was about to demonstrate was not sharpening but steeling the knife.The very fact that he showed a electric sharpener that you can purchase at your local Williams and Sanoma for an exorbitant sum and said it was better left to professionals anyway tells me this video was focused to your average housewife or kitchen neophyte, not a bunch of gentlemen with vast collections and experience with cutting tools.

I would venture that the big frigging deal is that SS would want to do everything by New Jersey's already cumbersome and confusing laws so as not to open themselves to possible liabilities and/or extensive penlites simply because someone want to go sightseeing or shopping..... Just a guess however.

Yes, my Sig seems to have an issue with S&B ammo where I would have a FTE every 3 round but shoots everything else fine,so I'll just wait until I get my next set of PPL's and get a CZ which I've read several times will shoot just about everything.

I wished I had more time to shoot, and Shore Shot is still 40 minutes away without traffic, so I end up stocking more than I shoot.

I'm having FTE issues with the S&B but I'm hanging on to them because I've got my eye on a CZ 75 so what better ammo to run through a Czech gun.

I just picked up 500 rounds with the USA Ammo/gear hog deal and another 200 rounds at Dick's buy one get the other half price, on top of the S&B $9.99/50 from Sportsman Guide for a grand total of 1700 rounds but I still want MORE. Strange?

Thanks, Ive never even looked at those vendors.

Care to share? I'm always looking but $9.99/50 is not so common a deal. maybe I'm looking in the wrong places.

Perhaps I should apologize to you . I believe that Smokin.50 was referring to me when he posted about name calling. However after 3 encounters with this Joe person it was readily apparent that he was a bit slow or perhaps medicated. What ever the case may be...I stand by my statement.

I see your point and agree... to a point. I for one would never open carry simply because I dislike the attention,law enforcement being paramount. But since the officer in this case strikes me as being professional,savvy and even sympathetic to the cause, why not just approach and say his piece and move on?The attention is obviously what the carrier wanted so why give him the time and satisfaction?

I believe the argument is why should he have to answer any questions...he was admittedly not breaking any laws.I believe the LEO was doing his job according to what his superiors and force expected but it still does not take away from the fact that the carrier was well within his rights not to answer any questions or even give his name. So from your already well documented point of view of perhaps a less experienced LEO, the carrier was disrespectful, but from our rather less privileged and empowered view he should not have been stopped and questioned at all .

The one thing that has to be explained is that it was the height of the summer vacation and a significant amount of law enforcement was most likely on vacation. The average Norwegian gets 14 weeks of vacation and even the military disappears in the summer. To keep the country running during this time of year some Scandinavian countries recruit collage and trade school kids from all over the world to work for the summer in their field in exchange for a little pay and board but the chance to travel and see the sights through the country on weekends.

Done.... maybe now I'll be able to enjoy what I've been paying for for the last 14 years.

Yep,was into the sports compact/Volkswagen thing also...murder on my license as well as the wallet.

Gentlemen... you have my up most admiration or condolences... which ever comes first.

Kinda choppy for a flat hull with open pipes..isn't it?
