Nice dude, glad it worked out...now hopefuly that manager will talk to their home office and get looked at for all their NJ stores.

It appeares a lot of people are unaware of this...possible sticky if there already isn't one? A2421 "The Secure Firearms Storage Act" http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/9899/Bills/pl99/254_.htm http://www.njleg.sta...500/2421_f1.pdf FISCAL NOTE ASSEMBLY, No. 2421 STATE OF NEW JERSEY 208th LEGISLATURE DATED: MAY 3, 1999 BILL SUMMARY Assembly Bill No. 2421 of 1998 allows an exemption from the sales and use tax for sales of firearm vaults providing secure and safe storage for firearms. AGENCY COMMENTS The Department of Treasury estimates that this bill would cost the State approximately $500,000 in reduced State sales tax revenue during the remainder of fiscal year 1999 and approximately $1,500,000 each year thereafter. The New Jersey State Police report approximately 70,000 over-the-counter purchases of firearms and 30,000 casual sales of guns in the State each year. Treasury's estimate assumes that each of the estimated total of 100,000 firearms sales is accompanied by the sale of a gun vault, at an average price of $250 per vault. The resulting estimate of $25,000,000 in annual gun vault sales in New Jersey results in an estimated tax loss of $1,500,000 due to the sales tax exemption under this bill. OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE SERVICES COMMENTS The Office of Legislative Services (OLS) believes the annual sales tax revenue losses due to this bill will be significantly less than the losses estimated by the Treasury. While the OLS accepts the Treasury's estimate of 100,000 annual firearms sales in the State, it is unlikely that each of those sales will be accompanied by the sale of a gun vault. The bill does not require the purchase of a gun vault, but rather the bill provides a six percent sales price incentive. This incentive should induce increased annual gun vault sales, but the OLS believes the number of gun vault sales will be significantly less than the estimated 100,000 annual firearms sales. In addition, many firearms are purchased by people who may already own a gun vault, such as hobbyists and collectors. Since gun vaults are capable of holding more than one weapon, it is likely that the annual number of gun vault sales A2421 2 will be significantly less than the annual number of firearm sales. The OLS cannot make a precise fiscal estimate of the impact of this bill because figures on the number of firearm vaults sold in the State before or after an exemption from the sales and use tax are not available. However, the OLS notes that every 1,000 firearm vaults sold could cost the State approximately $15,000 in forgone sales tax revenue, based on Treasury's estimated average cost of $250 per vault. This fiscal note has been prepared pursuant to P.L.1980, c.67.

Haha, notice the dude with the spong and water first hits the ref prob thinking, "Dude you couldn't count slower?" lmao

So I took a ride to BJ's to check out a shed...which turned out to not be what I was looking for...so...anywho, I'm walkin around and notice a gun safe with a sold sign and stated customer will be back tonight to pick up. With it there was also a copy of the receipt. Took a quick look and noticed they charged them tax. Being gun safes are tax exempt in NJ, I felt compelled to say something. Had a little chat with the manager, asked why they were charged for tax on the gun safe she looked at me like I had 3 heads and said what do you mean, its sales tax. I continued to mention that gun safes were tax exempt in NJ and her eyes lit up like huh, are you serious, since when? I said remember Gov Whitman? Since then lol...she was oh wow thank you for saying something yadda yadda yadda...so now I wonder how many they sold and have charged tax and got away with it????? So remember to make sure you're not being charged tax when buying a gun safe in NJ.

I have friends I grew up with that have a family biz...Commercial Protective Systems out of Elmwood Park, NJ...The can do whatever, full wireless systems, back up cellular network...decent yearly 24hr monitoring fees...if you decide to check them out, let me know I can make a call for ya.

If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.

The Dos Equis dude would beat em both.

Whos Patricia Finn?

LMAO

I seriously cannot sit there and watch a complete nascar race...the last 5 laps tends to be the most exciting, and even thats pushing it cause of the potential yellow flag...races ending in yellow flags are With that said, I'd like to see Danica win, shes pretty smokin lol.

LMAO July 19th...mark your calendars folks..."Glockmas"!

Any good lawyer should never miss this...ever.

At the very least you'll have to get one of them extended...keep an eye on the dates.

Hes an old buddy, whats up? Hit me up in chat.

Great weather for sure, but its messing everything up...my grass is all confused n shit...so not in the mood for yard work yet.

3-5K or did you mean 30-50K? House I bought 2 years ago was listed at a fully funished price...I soooo didn't want their furniter and stuff lol, so my first offer was 80K less than their fully furnished asking price, to which they totally laughed at but then came back with a counter...after back and forth a few times, my final offer also included a sincere letter to the owner of the house stating why I wanted the house, this woul dbe my final offer not because it wasn't worth more, but thats as high as I could go (which it wasn't lol) yadd yadda yadda...after all said and done they agreed to take my final offer which was 50K less than their original asking price...my realitor said that when he gave them my letter, the owner's wife started ballin and said take the offer. One thing with houses, owners can get very emotionally attached to them, by writing a letter it kind of helps them take away the attachment as they picture someone else enjoying it as much as they did...makes it more personal. Definitely make sure you're there with the inspector and ask any question that comes to mind...go over stuff like main water shut off valve, the electrical panel, gas shut off valve(if theres gas), where the main sewer drain is...all your major factors for all your utilities...be surprised how many people move into a place, have say a water issue and don't know how to kill the main valve if needed. Also...have your realitor do a history on the listing...it may show as "just put on the market" but its common for people to remove their listings after a while and relist..especially during the holidays. Youl'll see as a new listing, but realitors have access to the back end history. Bring a level to check the floors...as funny as this sounds, its very common for floors not to be level. If it "seems" off...it probably is. Hope this helps

Cool, yea I ordered a few Pearce extenders as well as the piece for the bottom back of the frame...that stupid hole bothers me lol.

I pick up the G29SF in 30 days lol.

Gen3 G26...got my permits today and drove straight to my FFL lol Just ordered the ext slide slide release and a 3.5# pull for it. Took a couple pics next to the G19...really like how the front is rounded off compared to the squared off 19. Need to find mag extender for pinky placement lol.

Although I don't agree with it...looks like its allowed : Only the president of the United States or the governor of the state may order the flag to be at half-staff to honor the death of a national or state figure. http://www.gettysburgflag.com/flyflaghalfmast.php

So what? I started working freshman year in highschool bussing tables at a restaurant on the weekends, haven't been out of a job for more than 3 weeks since. Not tooting my own horn, its just how things were. Back then we worked for what we wanted, kids now a days got it good...too good to even realize sometimes.

+ Infinity. Growing up as a kid if those kinds of thoughts even started to enter our(sister and I) minds our parents could somehow intercept the brain waves and block them with a good ol a$$ whoopin lol...And the one thing you never wanted to hear as a kid..."You just wait till your father gets home"...might as well just faint right there lmao.

Also, little tid bit of information...those who have the new iPhone with the Siri app on average are using double the amount of data because they ask it dumb things lol. Its fetching the answers back through the network...not from the phone.

Where voice used to be the driving force in the wireless industry, has now become data. Data is what makes the money now. On the flip side, providing this data cost millions to the carrier which then get passed to the customer. Now, with that said, there needs to ba way to control this use of data and the speeds they can provide. Theres two things providers can do, one is what AT&T(along with other carriers) will do and that is throttle the speeds once the cap is reached. The other thing to do, like they do here here at T-Mobile(and possibly other carriers), is not to throttle the speeds, but to just charge for going over your plan. Just to put into perspective on data usages...here in NJ alone, T-Mobile cutomers are using just over 24 Terabytes of data per day, and we're seeing it triple at approx every 8 months. So approx 8 months from now, usage will be around 75 Terabytes per day. Some food for thought - The only thing wireless in a wireless network is between your phone and the tower...everything else is a physical infastructure...quite amazing actually.

Its called Unlimited Data...not Unlimited Fast Data.
