302w

I think I've narrowed it down to a few options... Shield 9mm, If I can shoot one and if I like it. Colt Mustang 380. It is a little pricey and I dislike the 380. Colt 1911 of some sort. Either a Commander 4.25" or a Defender 3". I'm a little leery of the Defender, since its a lot of .45 for a small gun. I've fired J-Frame 357s and I would like to not do that again.

Also, FWIW, I won't use a Duralast battery ever again. I'm sure Interstate, Motorcraft, Duralast and Delco batteries all come out of a similar Chinese sweatshop, but I had a Duralast Gold battery catch on fire recently. Underneath the hood of my parked F150 while it was off. I'm not entirely sure the battery is at fault, but its certainly a variable I can't exclude.

I'm moving to PA in a little less than a week and I need a CCW. I'm really picky on handguns. I shoot revolvers and 1911 type handguns well, and I hate every DA/SA handgun I have ever fired. I'm looking for something with a manual safety, small, and preferably 9mm or 38spl. The three guns I've considered are a Colt Mustang Pocketlite .380, a S&W M&P9 Shield, or a used Model 10 snub. The Colt is a tad expensive and I would rather have 9mm, the S&W is plastic and I probably won't like the trigger, and the Model 10 is a little too big IMO. I'm rather skinny so a small handgun is a must. The only HG I have now is a Model 64 4". My price range is ~$400.

You could wrap it in lead, I suppose.

LWRC, which grill/bar do you own? I'm going to have to check it out. I'll agree, the Rock area and Ironbound are the two nice places of Newark. The rest... Meh. I'm in the crap part unfortunately.

If you're going to make youtube videos, at least sound well versed. Kid sounds 17 and like he just got turned down for prom.

20 percent off for NJGFers? Gah, should have said something earlier!

RTSP, do you have any Colt Mustangs and M&P Shield 9's in stock? I see you have a P238 as a rental... may have to try that. Also, whats with "Plainfield Machine M1A"? Is that a Springfield M1A, or a Plainfield Machine M1A1 (folding stock M1 Carbine)? I guess you could legally rent them out with an FFL.....

Interesting. I'm still pissed Chrysler got bought out and then sold to Fiat. Really? At least GM, as much as I hate them, didn't get sold to Toyota or something.

Those of you using Eddie Bauer belts, I'm pretty sure you're referring to the Sportsmans belt. They have them in stores. I used to work there and bought mine for half off with my discount. Win.

Anywhere I can try holsters?

Kens Auto in Rockaway.

I'm hopefully getting my Utah CCW and carrying a lot in PA in the near future if all goes well. My only handgun is a S&W 64-5 4" square butt, which I love but it's kinda big to conceal. Should I even attempt to? I'd like to try out a few holsters before I buy anything, those IWB/OWB convertible ones seem interesting. I'd like to buy a Model 10 snub or a Colt Mustang Pocketlite to carry, but I cant afford it now. I'm not really happy about shelling out $200 for the course as it is.

I am going to miss Bryz and Tortorella. Both of them were kinda crazy and fun to watch on TV. Torts made the 2012 playoffs so much better.

As for the Isles... I really like to root for them, when they're not playing the Devs. I just don't want them to win a Cup because there will be a zillion bandwagoners.

By the way, I did point out that there would be pissing matches coming from Rags fans. Told you. Yes, the Devils are kinda screwed. But they aren't moving. I'll likely be hearing that from the Messier crowd my whole life.

Thoughts? I think the Devils are screwed. Bring on pissing matches from Rags fans.

You're a fool if you go to Arthurs and don't get the Onion soup. Best French Onion I've ever had, although they call it something else. I'm not kidding.

Moving within NJ, does your FID become invalid? I know I probably can't buy guns with it, since my FID and DL won't technically match with the change of address sticker on back. Could I still legally buy handgun ammo? They never checked my DL Iirc but I'm wondering if I legally have to turn my fid in.

IBTL When picking up the P2Ps awhile back I asked the Detective if he liked his S&W. He politely told me he isn't much of a gun person and he isn't out buying AR's and such because kids cost too damn much. Fair enough. Although BLF has a few kids and that never stopped him from buying guns by the truckload.

I've had my fun with fireworks for sure. It brings out the juvenile delinquent in me. My favorite is speed balls. Little cylindrical things that come in a five pack for around a dollar or so. Light on ground, then they shoot up 30' then violently shoot off in some Random direction like a 357. Loud too. My dad became infatuated with those sky lantern things. They're cool but they beg to get stuck in trees and burn.

IMHO, older S&W's are better than the new stuff anyway. Much like Winchesters, pre-64 stuff is more desirable. Is a 1968 M94 junk? No. but a 1963 is "Better" and "more desirable".

So... I'm a younger person, and I still live with my parents and go to college and such. My parents are in the process of buying a house in PA(providing nothing happens, I'm always cautious) and this kinda puts a burden on me. I pay my own way in school, and tuition is 2x more for out of state students. Yikes. I plan on legally moving in with my aunt in NJ. Get my tax stuff sent there, change residences with my employer and whatnot. File my taxes through there, and establish NJ residency so I won't get destroyed on tuition. Is it possible to establish multiple residences? I'd love to have all of my paperwork in NJ, while getting a PA license and then LTCF. Probably not possible though. I'm most likely just going to continue being a legal NJ resident for all purposes. I don't believe I can do what I'd like until I graduate. I should just transfer to ESU, but NJIT>ESU.

If it makes you guys feel better, I'm still using tube TVs. My parents have modern stuff but I don't feel like upgrading. Doesn't bother me except when playing Skyrim, the text displays crazy small and I can't read it. I was playing House of the Dead 2 on my Dreamcast recently too.

Yeah, 94 nevermore! In all seriousness, I'm pretty happy we had a hockey season. Almost didn't. Only game I went to was opening night at Nassau Mausoleum.
