Single best post of the year so far

So expect civil disobedience to be the next plan of action for those aggrieved by this situation.

I lived in Florida for several years in the 90's, and Flagler and Duval County politicians could give their Jersey counterparts seminars on corruption and influence peddling.

The Ft. Hood shooter knew full well that soldiers there were prohibited from carrying weapons. That's why he had a full 10 minutes to slaughter his victims before the female civilian cop responded and took him down. In California, even local LEOS must enter military installations sans firearms.

Horrifying yet effective video. God bless the gentleman who defended his home by shooting that skell, and bless the soul of that poor woman who had no such opportunity. If this doesn't make you want to sit down and write our feckless state legislators to demand our 2A rights, I don't know what will.

Ditto: over 2k .40's through mine without a hiccup...using everything from Aguila to Hornady.

Pretty interesting, except "nail clippers" have been allowed for years now. Nail clippers with a blade within are not. Is that what the TSA was referring to? Minor point, I guess, with all of the other strange things brought up in this post. Maybe this FB posting is just dated a few years back? Returning military personnel should just be allowed to skirt the whole screening process, IMO.

http://www.nj.com/hudson/voices/index.ssf/2012/03/morgans_corner_hows_your_aim_h.html Best part about the usual, uninformed anti-gun ownership piece is, as always, the public comments that follow. Interesting to note that Mr. Morgan holds his editorial position solely to represent the minority (well, that's not technically-true any more in Jersey City, IIRC) community where he lives; areas where entire neighborhoods are in a state of siege thanks to the violence perpetrated by illegally-obtained guns, wielded by miscreants who live among their victims. Jersey City businesses now get ZERO from my disposable or other income; I refuse to subject myself and my family to the very real possibility of being victimized by the scum that run the streets there, while I am unable to offer any defense thanks to our unconstitutional gun laws in this state.

He was great with them, but now that I've envisioned just what kind of episode it could have turned into, he should've let them go at some semi-autos....

They're close, but with the fillies from the barbershop at least you wouldn't be embarrassed to be seen with them in public.

I'm going to admit to one of my REAL guilty pleasures: watching each and every episode of "Bikini Barbershop: Jersey" on HDNet, via Dish. As far as reality shows go, this one, IMO, is far superior to the other crap, especially the Jersey-centric ones, as the cutters on this show are far more believable, interesting and eccentric than their counterparts in the other shows. They also don't play to the cameras as much. Their boss is a total d*ck, but he at least realizes it, and plays it up as part of his shtick. The insults they toss back and forth at each other remind me of any one of my family get-togethers, and I find each week's subject matter to be incredibly-shallow and extremely entertaining. Last week the girls went to Shore Shot and had a blast. The facility and the activity of recreational shooting came off extremely-well, IMO, with safety rules being followed to a "t". Almost all of the girls enjoyed it, and SS should have seen a nice up-tick in business because of this episode. http://www.hd.net/programs/bikini-barbershop/

I heard from my two cousins out in AZ: both big-time firearms enthusiasts and sportsmen. They tell me the growth in membership in their respective clubs has been INSANE. Seems to be a nationwide trend that will only get stronger if Purple LIps gets another term on Pennsylvania Avenue.

Good luck to you, Vlad. I only wish I could find employment out there so I too can skeedaddle out of Jersey.

I put in for 3 PP's two weeks ago. The detective "warned" me that the wait would be much longer than the four plus months, IIRC, I waited the last time in Bayonne. Because part of the delay last time was a work verification problem (non-receipt of verification form at my job), I offered to print out a stub from my online HR account; they said "no dice", and that they MUST verify using their standard forms. Load of crap I tell ya.

Well, until Frank went into Putz-Mode I enjoyed the range, too..... I'm going back one night this week to get my quarter-hour (x's 2) back from him, and hopefully continue to enjoy it.

The thing is: I'm not a newb there by any means. But because I'm not a "regular", only getting down there maybe once a month, I don't have the face time with Frank and the others to qualify for that status I guess. No biggie, but I'm going to have a lot more empathy for those who have a sub-par experience when shooting there in the future.

Yeah, well Frank the R.O. pissed me off in a major way a couple of weeks ago: After my nephew and I were shooting for around 40 minutes, he sends some fat kid over to us to tell us "you've got five minutes left". I told the kid he had the wrong port, that we just started at 8pm. Sure enough, five minutes goes by and Frank comes out, pantomiming "tap-tap" on his wrist watch. I walked out after him and asked what was up. He says "Didn't you start at 7:45?" I told him to check the sign-in; he did; he kinda/sorta apologized. I look through the glass and see my teenage nephew had already packed up our guns and was heading out, yielding the port to a party of three who I've never seen in there before. I'm holding Frank to giving us an extra quarter-hour each next time. Yeah, right...like he'll remember. It's crap like this that can give the first-timer a bad taste in their mouth about the Bayonne range.

http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2012/03/newark_police_seize_22_firearm.html One has to read through four paragraphs before getting the salient info that all of the weapons seized were stolen, and not--as is the rallying cry of the anti's--bought by straw purchasers or at gun shows.

I would have preferred watching the terlet.

Rocky in a dignified pose...right before he peed on the porch. Doxies are a great breed; sorry I came late in appreciating them.

On the other side of the coin, I noticed Mitchell's ad in the latest Guns & Ammo, where he's selling Mosins for $799. Wonder what extras you're getting, or how much more superior the firearm, for TEN times the cost from Kentucky Gun? Relax, it's a rhetorical question ;-)

This is about the closest thing to a pro-2A article you'll ever see in this now-liberal rag. Dennis Hamill exposes Mayor Bloomberg's hypocrisy on crime and quotes an ex-cop who is obviously not an anti. http://www.nydailyne...ticle-1.1030782

http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?section=news/local&id=8564975 I hope all of those anti-gun Chicago pols take notice of this and pass some anti-knife legislation pronto.

Hell, Chuck wasn't counted out; Perez stopped it with 19 seconds left in the 15th...yes, the 15th round.

Unbelievable that this state continues to try and legislate bullying out of existence, and it AIN'T gonna work; kids being kids, there will always be bullying going on. When I came home from 6th grade with a shiner from a schoolyard fight, my father made me join the local P.A.L. boxing gym. No more shiners. Bullying solved. We need to toughen these kids up because their contemporaries around the world will be taking and eating their lunches, both literally and figuratively at some point if we don't.
