College, I can't afford nice things. I hate Keystone with a passion

IMO, A .357 with a shotshell or two and the rest some hunting-designed bullet are your best bet.

IIRC the only tupperware made in this country is the Smith and Wesson M&P.

I go to NJIT as well, and live there on campus. It depends on where and how she is getting to work. If she takes the train into Newark and arrives at Penn Station, she likely has a ways to go to work. This leaves light rail, walking, and busses. Penn Station and the surrounding area are alright, although most likely cracked out bums will bug her for money (happens all the time to me, I carry some change on my just to hand them and walk away). If she can get to or from work without leaving a busy area she will be fine. Most of it is how you present yourself. Never been mugged or anything, but I have had enough instances (almost all of them on Rutgers' campus) to wish I could CCW. Some strange, some thinking I was going to die. Rutgers Newark is a very unsafe place and their police are both rude and terrible at policing for the most part. For example, last winter a girl was dragged from a light rail station into their library and raped without anyone noticing. Better yet, Rutgers decided to attempt to cover it up rather than alert anyone. 'Cause, you know, saving some bad publicity is much better than potentially getting a lead on a rapist. I am lucky that my schools police are both polite and good at doing their job.

At my University, about a dozen people would be wearing holsters and getting funny looks by about 50. Everyone else would just go on with their day.

Thanks Kevin! I am not bench shooting, it is leaving the firearm on the (small) bench while not shooting. Among other things, I will invest in a patch of shag carpeting.

Those of you that have shot at RTSP know they have some relatively nice benches, but the carpet material isn't on the edge and instead it is painted steel. The first time I shot there and left my Henry on the bench I nicked the stock when I GENTLY put the rifle on the bench. I left my hoodie on the bench to protect my Henry and that seemed okay. Second time I went with it, I used a T-shirt and the buttstock was STILL getting some pretty bad nicks and gouges in the wood. I understand it's American walnut...which shouldn't get wrecked as easily. The stock seems as tough as pine. Can anyone reccomend something to wrap my stock in? I know it will look hideous, but I am tired of my Golden Boy stock getting dinged up when I am clearly not abusing it.

I would have went. I don't like Christie or Obama (hate Christie, actually), but still I think it would be an honor to meet the President. Christie.... I would get a hand shake, picture, then tell him off.

I am a big fan of Makers Mark myself, although it is overpriced. I am likely to buy only a cheaper whiskey (Old Crow, etc) for just drinking, and buy nicer things (Makers Mark is my favorite right now) for enjoying. Many dont like MM.

If you would ever like an interesting lesson on Economics, take a basic college Econ course. Even online or whatever, doesn't have to be fancy. I had to take one as a requirement and it was interesting. I was pretty happy I could find an affordable American made knife ($50 Kershaw Leek) and pair of boots (Redwings, $150) I got my moneys worth for sure. 3/4 of my families vehicles are made here too (1973 Road Runner, 1993 and 2002 F150). My moms 2011 Edge was made in Canada unfortunately.

If Chuck Norris supports gun rights, we will never lose.

Trapping them is a legal and semi-practical idea. You will get a few, but a family will catch on. Sniping them with an Airsoft gun is semi-practical but illegal. Shooting them from a second story window with a high FPS rifle on semi-auto wont catch attention, A paintball marker will also work but they will likely come back. I know that raccoons run away but aren't afraid of paintball guns. I think you could easily get away with shooting them with an airsoft gun, but they will just come back. Practically useless. My suggestion is buy new cans. If this were pennsylvania, I would tell you to kill them with a $100 air rifle.

Would I buy one? no. I wouldn't mind owning one, however. Not in .30-30, since the only acceptable .30-30 one should own is his grandpappys pre '63 Winchester Model '94. I would love to own one of those in 9mm just to get strange looks at the range. Wouldn't spend money on one though. Then again I also want to buy cheapo arrows and a quiver, make speedloaders out of the arrows, and go to the range with my Henry and a quiver full of arrows because it is practical and I would confuse the crap out of everyone else. I also would love to buy two 'make your own' black powder pistol kits, make one into a respectable and clean firearm and the second paint flat dark earth and add an offensive amount of rails and whatnot to it just to be strange. I wouldn't bubba up an SKS or Nagant, however.

I was there today as well, the snow made it nice and quiet. Thanks for the brass again, Tommy. BTW, if anyone can F2F sell me a NJGF shirt, PM me. I PMed Maksim but he never got back to me.

I am a fan of the best engine presently known to man, the Ford Smallblock Windsor. Called 302 or 351 windsor depending on displacement, abbreviated 302w or 351w.

15 rounds is fine with me. I would rather have dumb laws aboloished, such as the "Assault Weapons Ban" in NJ. Since everyone and their mother doesn't own an AR or AK anyway (legally!).

I think it was the Dovakiin practicing his FUS RO DAH! We'll see it in Weird NJ

I have a Golden Boy .22LR that I love. I would highly suggest investing in a Henry. Anyway... Marlin made a side-feed .22 LR during the late 19th century.... Good luck finding one. Try selling your car first. I have to be honest though... the only thing I dont like about Henry rifles is the centerfire ones are tube fed as well. If I get a .38/.357, I want to jamb shells in the side like I am shooting a .30-30.

I think its kind of a pain to use, IMO. For example, I will be looking at buying a S&W Model 64 in summer, and I want to see if anyone can compete with J&G's price ($269). I can't use the FPR feature for this. If it was more a more simple "Leave your email and breif description" it would be much better IMHO.

I need to go to Jim Flynns one day. Does he stock firearms or just an FFL? How are his ammo prices? (If he can beat $17/box Walmart .45ACP). He is in Blairstown, right? I would probably have to say Hackettstown Guns and Ammo followed by Dunks. Hackettstown is the closest place to me that isn't run by jerks or wildly expensive with a crap selection.

"seven-six-two by fifty four arr" "seven-sixty two by fifty four arr" "seven point six two by fifty four arr" etc. Nascar, I would look into a Henry in caliber of your choice, Marlin in .38/357 (if Henry does not make one) or a Mosin.

NicePants; Anti-gunners don't understand firearms. 'Nuff said.

Okay, I am putting on Nomex for this one. Its great that such an old guy killed a would be burglar that could have potentially killed him(inevitably his $0.40 .45 ACP saved the taxpayer a dime or two, as well) but I think its reckless as anything to just shoot a guy THROUGH your door without even identifying the threat. Seriously, that could have been a family member or perhaps even someone fleeing for safety. I know, I know, 6AM yadda yadda yadda. I would have called the police, held him at gunpoint, and shot him if he moved, myself.

OH! I know! If its polymer, throw the frame in a camp fire!

People who watch people turn into multiple pieces get PTSD, not somebody who had a crackhead try to bite off a finger. Seriously, I would love to introduce this guy to someone who has legitimate cause for PTSD.
