Link? I'm ready to do some customizing on my .40.

My lady had some business in Brick Township last Saturday afternoon, so being only a mile or so away I decided to check out SS. Got there around 5pm and waited behind 5 shooters waiting to pay for time and targets, but the line moved quickly. Counter guys were polite and helpful, answering a bunch of questions the noobs before me had. I filled out a safety/rules acknowledgment form, paid $21 and headed to a nice-sized port. Range was neat, well-ventilated and had sufficient lighting. RO just took a few glances at me to make sure I wasn't an unsafe lunatic, complimented my SA XDM40 and left me alone. I did appreciate his later admonishing the shooter next to me, who apparently muzzle-swept me when I wasn't looking. Shop had a fairly-decent selection of long guns and handguns, with the staff definitely being attentive and courteous to the many browsers there. All in all it was a good experience going to Shore Shot and I look forward to future trips there when in the area.

That's why Tyson usually set the UC up with a right to the body. Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk 2

The uppercut is most effective when your opponent is in a crouch or head down, and you're in close. Take a look at this to see a real master of that particular punch: http://m.youtube.com/index?&desktop_uri=%2F#/watch?v=jo2JxpcJ2BA Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk 2

The large number of Jersey plates coming and going from EFGA represents a tempting target for revenue. Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk 2

Two of my best friends and at least 4 or 5 folks at work have made the move west in the last year. I like Hellertown but that two-lane main drag is a bear traffic-wise at times. Other than that not too much to dislike. Good luck to everybody looking to make the move to a Free state. Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk 2

Coincidentally, I'll be looking at some homes in PA tomorrow, too. A couple in Hellertown and one in Riegelsville. Will the last one out of Jersey please remember to turn off the lights? Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk 2

Got my paperwork and payment ready to go for a SG... Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk 2

I can confirm this: went fishing a couple of years ago at Mount Hope Pond, which is just down the road from the arsenal. I was going around the east end--near the old church-- and saw something walking through the tall grass. It was either a big coyote or a young wolf, but it sure as hell wasn't a dog. Frankly, that area is spooky as balls, IMO. Between the bottomless mine vents and shafts across the road from the pond, and the bears, coyotes/wolves and rattlers we've seen there, the place has a palpable sense of weirdness.

Don't be naive. If it were racism or illegal the ACLU would have already been granted an injunction to have it stopped. Again, the numbers don't lie: if the overwhelming amount of crime is being committed in minority neighborhoods by young black and hispanic men, guess who the cops are going to focus on? Especially if they are exhibiting suspicious behavior. If I were one of the many honest citizens in those areas I wouldn't be happy about being stopped, either. But I would certainly be realistic enough to know why it is being done. I've got friends who are/were on the job in NYC who have told me that a lot of folks in the high-crime areas want nothing to do with them until something happens, which is when they second-guess and criticize the NYPD to death. It has to be a thankless and frustrating job for the cops working in these areas; no doubt as frustrating as it is for the law-abiding people that live there and have to be statistically lumped-in with the bad guys.

If the overwhelming percentage of violent crime wasn't perpetrated by minorities in NYC (especially in areas like Harlem), there would be no need for stop and frisk programs. Besides, if it came to choosing sides between the cops patrolling the streets and some puke like "nycresistance" who posted the video, I'll go with the NYPD. This angry twerp needs to wake up to the fact that it is precisely someone like HIM, a young minority male, who is likely to be a victim of a violent crime in NYC. Every time a young black or Hispanic catches a bullet from some thug, the first thing that their family and candle/shrine-assembling pals do is blame the cops for not doing their jobs, followed closely by a gnashing of the teeth over "lax gun laws". I was no angel as a teenager and had my fair share of run-ins with the local bulls in my neighborhood. I challenged their authority, disregarded their warnings and was treated accordingly. I didn't cry about it, nor would I have ever dreamed about going public or telling my parents (besides, my old man would have dished out far worse than Bayonne PD Sgt. Slivocka ever could have). If this guy wants to stroll around the 'hood acting and looking suspiciously, he needs to be prepared for the consequences. Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk 2

Welcome, and may all your interactions be fruitful ones... Scott in Bayonne Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk 2

Nice pick-up! I've bought a 20 and 23 this past year and they are now my two favorite semi's to shoot.

I have been looking at a move to PA for a long time now, and not just for 2A reasons. I wonder what the reaction would be of the many gun owners who have moved west from NY/NJ, if some day PA adopted a similar, draconian set of firearms laws to NJ? I usually do not like dealing with hypotheticals, but71ragtop made a pretty good observation in his post. At some point we'll run OUT of places to run TO in pursuit of our Second Amendment rights.

Looks like Bayonne P.D. is back to asking for the infamous two "neighbors references", in addition to the two required by law. Apparently, with a new C.O.P. in office, they also reduced the office hours in the licensing bureau to ELEVEN hours per week, and require you to make an appointment for hours outside of their scheduled ones. Most troubling is that they have gone back to verifying employment by sending a form stating that the applicant is seeking to own firearms. Oh, they have also added a "voluntary" firearms registration form I've never noticed before (link below).

I'm a very happy new member of EFGA. The three times I've gone I've noticed a preponderence of Jersey tags on the cars there. It would be great to have a sub-forum for EFGA here. Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk 2

That price range better include bars on the windows and a good deadbolt or two. Add a couple of hundred and you'll be able to get a small place in Bayonne, which is about a 20-30 minute bus ride to Journal Square. Good luck.Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk 2
