  1. Soundgarden and Pearl Jam are okay in acceptable doses. What I meant to say was Black Stone Cherry. WDHA is all nickelback style mustic, with a little bit of 80's and occassional classic rock, and godforsaken nj help wanted ads. The station is practically the same every day all year.
  2. I think it is safe to assume Obama will be in office for a second term. Its awfully hard to unseat an incumbent, and Ron Paul IMO seems like the most popular Republican out there nowadays. Anyway, I think the most Obama will do is attempt to inact a second AWB. With the split government as it is, I don't think he will be able to. I think this country will continue to move in the current conservative trend its been moving lately.
  3. I got into a discussion with my neighbor who awhile back was looking to buy a 9mm pistol (not sure of manufacturer, it was not Glock) from his son or his sons friend, mostly because it was a "no paperwork" buy for him. He already has an FID and other handguns. Obviously, this is illegal. My question is, wouldn't you "go directly to jail; do not pass go, do not collect $200" if the NJSP were to pull you over with this and run the serial, or use it in home defense? IMO, the only pistol I would ever want to own without a P2P would be an inherited one. He is an older guy set in his ways, so I think whatever I say is irrelevant. I dont know if he bought it or not.
  4. If you ever listen to 105.5 WDHA, their commercials make me hate them. In general, that station is terrible since their usual playlist is: Nickelback, Nickelback, NJHelpWanted commercial, random local ad, Kars 4 Kids, Soundgarden, Hailstorm(some garbage local band they picked up), Pearl Jam, Nickelback, Soundgarden, then maybe a GNR or other 80's rock and repeat. I abseloutely hate listening to them, but my dad is in love with them. I used to like them, but theyve switched to this format of the same monotonous ads and all Nickelback-ish music.
  5. Your best bet is to get an FID regardless. You seem apprehensive, but you dont get looked at with a microscope if you do. FYI, buy ammo in PA. Its cheaper at Walmart, and they dont write down your information.
  6. Honestly... there are a lot of variables in this situation. If it was some junky Taurus-type pistol, I would be strongly encouraged to just be rid of it via a buyback. Seeing as how the serial is removed, it probably is stolen and/or killed someone. If its a 1911, Id destroy the frame and buy a new one. Other than that... Id be tempted to cosmoline the thing and bury it with some ammo in a PVC pipe. Highly illegal, but its a cool story. Realistically, get rid of the frame. The rest of the parts determine if its any worth buying a new frame, otherwise send it all off at a gun buyback.
  7. Airsoft injuries are a lot more common than Paintball. Ignoring things like sprained ankles and such from running around in the woods, the most damage you are going to get in paintball is a bruise or welt if you get shot at a short distance. Most airsofters wear only goggles or shooting glasses. I've seen teeth get shot out. I also saw someone light a smoke bomb, turn around, and chuck it into someones face because they didn't know they were there. Kinda funny to see.
  8. My area was rural back when he grew up. I have been told dozens of times "the cops would stop us and ask if we were goin to the dump to shoot rats when weeze was 13. Now you got these damn kids.....". As for whoever saying airsoft is/isn't manly... When I was 15/16/17, I used to go to legitimate fields and have fun shooting at people with an M14. It was kind of creepy though, because there would be 30-40 year old guys who would take things too seriously while trying to play GI Joe. Maybe I am too casual for airsoft, but I still continue to play paintball because I enjoy running around in the woods getting shot at while trying to accomplish something. I remember people getting into fistfights and others joining random teams and a lot of it turned into groups of adults getting into pissing contests in camouflage. I left the game when it stopped being a game for everyone else. Superphoto.... which mod? I used to be active over there.
  9. Mcbether, I have to disagree with you. While your neighbors sound a little like hippies (I am not being derogatory either, if you are being responsible citizens I don't judge you), I do not believe that most of Camden county is getting high and buying from random thugs in Camden. What happens is more likely to be a few hundred thugs with exuberant amounts of drug money in cash in their project housing pushing to smaller dealers who deal locally in Cherry Hill or whatever, while the single mother next door struggles with a minimum wage job might also buy $10 worth occassionally. Those buying in the richer areas are kids, plus the few exceptions like your neighbors. IMO, there is no quick fix for Camden. I go to school in Newark and study it a LOT, and it took years to get where Newark is and it is still crappy. The only way to fix Camden is to create jobs and hire enough police so that employers do not die on the job. Bust the gangs and major drug dealers, and invest like hell in creating lower level jobs. Newark has gotten a lot better and safer over the years, but nobody simply cares about it to do anything. Too much corruption. Those who can afford it already found the true fix for Camden and Newark: move.
  10. Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but I'd like to know. On a side note... I expect NJ to revamp the FID before I die. Issuing a dinky paper card is outdated, I think that combining your FID onto your license would be a good idea. Just a simple 1/4" star or a small "FIREARMS IDENTIFICATION" somewhere on it would simplify things IMO. I still remember my mom showing me her crusty paper pictureless drivers license when I was little. Reminds me of my current FID.
  11. Oops... I was thinking of the Major Award
  12. I am curious, how do you guys get these things in your house? Most are in peoples basements, and I dont know how me and a few other people could get a safe down a flight of stairs or whatever. My friend said he borrowed his grandfathers backhoe to drop his safe in.
  13. I would ask when it was due to be done, and called that day. When I got a new response, I called then. The only thing that bothered me was I had called on a wednesday or whatever, and was told by the detective it would be done in one week. I called the next week and he was on vacation.
  14. I think parenting has substantially dwindled over the years for some reason. My neighbor is this oldschool guy in is 70's, and often tells me a bunch of stories about his childhood. Buying guns and ammo at age 13, wandering around town with his friends all OC'ing .22's on their way to go shoot rats or whatever, etc. Kids knew not to screw around because the consequences could be severe. He also told me about how they used to go eat cherries at some local farm and the farmer shot at them with rocksalt loaded shotguns. Apparently it "burns like hell". While nowadays I don't advocate kids having access to firearms... I think airsoft is GREAT for kids so long as they know what the hell they are doing. Yet again, it falls on parents getting it into the kids heads not to take them to school or go around brandishing it or whatever. You want to go shoot boxes with johnny, throw your gas 1911 in your backpack and walk there. Take it out when you get home, and dont shoot your eye out, kid.
  15. I am curious to see if Camden erupts 1967 Newark Style how gun rights in NJ will be affected. IIRC, 1992 LA actually caused some good waves for gun rights.
  16. I thought you won a "Grand Prize" at first...
  17. IMO, I am always nice to police unless it is otherwise warrented. For all I know, he could pull me over again and remember me (highly unlikely, though). Plus, if I were to be stopped at a DWI check, and I were a jerk to the guy, he could still make me take the test and waste MORE of my time, or even write me a ticket for some bogus thing (exhaust leak, something hanging from my mirror, etc).
  18. I would have said "I am a needledick? News to me. Have a nice night" and closed the window.
  19. I was about to post this. According to this article, she was told to wait until he was in the house to shoot too. http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/01/04/9948522-911-to-teen-mom-who-killed-intruder-protect-your-baby She's pretty, considering her alone state they were probably going to rape her. They also killed two of her dogs previously. Not to be a jerk.. I wonder how old her husband was to have a kid and die of cancer with a wife of 18.
  20. I don't think I will ever see confiscation of guns. It would become very anarchistic in a lot of places before that would happen. If the government really wanted to take away firearms, I imagine that it would begin with heavily taxing of guns/ammo, registration, national FID cards, etc. Make it more of a pain to own/shoot. Really, ban all "military firearms" and grandfather all current ones, and 100 years from now people will have 100 year old AR's, AK's, and 170 year old Mosins. You would be hard pressed to find anything short of a bolt action sporter, shotgun, or .22. I dont believe much will change, but all I am saying the Government is more likely to restrict, rather than confiscate.
  21. When I used to work at a junkyard, I would screw around with broken glass/soon to be junked glass. I've seen a windshield take a full swing from a ball-peen hammer and just crack, while side/back glass will just shatter into a million pieces with a good swing of a hard object. If you can get it to crack, you're through.\ The plastic layer in windshields is surprisingly elastic.
  22. Maybe its just me... but in my experience, LEO's seem to either very pro or against 2A. More than the average citizen. Hate to generalize LEO's like that, but I have found it to be relatively true.
  23. Dales in Hackettstown is excellent as previously mentioned... they did some wonderful work on my Road Runner. Whats your truck, btw?
  24. About how many active members are LEO's on this forum? I ask only because It seems like there is a semi-large number of members mention at one point or another mention their police-job. Im not asking for specifics, but it honestly seems like a quarter of the members here are police. On a side note, this might be generalizing LEO's... but I have found almost all police to be avid firearm enthusiasts and happy to talk guns with you, OR they look at you like you are a terrorist if you say that you legally own firearms. IMO, its one extreme to the next.
