I'll assume that your generalization was meant for me. Let me explain: If I'm working in A) My basement; B) My alley way; C) My backyard, I am legally entitled to carry my weapon, am I not? If B and C happen to be within line of vision of someone on the sidewalk, but I don't venture off my property and keep said weapon holstered but visible, I still haven't broken any laws, have I? As to an earlier post of yours, where exactly did I ever say I was going to point a gun at anyone? The wearing of the firearm in an OWB holster was strictly as a deterrent, and not to "undesirables", but to anyone with larceny or worse on their minds. Thanks for your input, though.....

If you brought it to the Jersey City Home Depot no one would have blinked an eye.

Have you been regularly receiving extensions with no problems from Bayonne? And I would have paid good money to see the faces on the detectives there when you laid 12 PP's on 'em. Good thing you're on the job or they might've sat you down for some informal questioning, LOL

Young man (or lady, as the case may be): At the risk of sounding like an old fart, and in light of your self-admitted irresponsibility, please remember that all it takes is one instance of a lack of good judgment, whether behind the wheel or behind the sights of a firearm, to kill someone. Get your act together, and good luck with fighting the tickets. Hope it's a lesson learned.

Good call. I've already checked out.

And BOTH of them have the Aurora, CO theater shootings all wrong: no one is mentioning it was a "gun-free zone", so their debate going on about whether or not you would have wanted one during that tragedy is moot. Costas saying "You were allowed to have one" (in theater). Sheesh. Where are O' Reilly's fact-checkers when you need them?

Hmm...didn't take Costas long to lie: "40% of all firearms sales in this country required no background check".

I can hear the back-pedaling from two rooms away. Mealy-mouthed SOB.

Seventh photo in is a particularly-gruesome one. What the hell? Did the victim explode or what?

I only started carrying at home since I've been cleaning up and repairing the basement after Sandy. A lot of times I'm in the house alone, leaving the alleyway gate and basement doors open to make it easier to get in and out with material. More than a few times I've caught mopes walking through the neighborhood checking out things (tools, metal scrap, etc.) that are on my property. Not that I'm gonna shoot anyone for trying to lift some scrapped downspout, but I WILL scare the caca out of them.

I just thank God there are people willing to take on the job of making sure that the dregs of society stay where they're supposed to. Six figures a year sounds just about right to me for doing it, too.

I always wondered how Bazooka Joe LOST that eye of his, and why in the world the gum company thought he'd look good in that eye patch? Anyway, we got a lot of bang for the buck (in reality, our .01's) out of that product: a nice hunk of bubble gum, a comic inside the wrapper, and the nifty stuff you could order from them on the back of the wrapper.

Beautifully written and thought-out essay. The shame is, because of where she is employed, her article will be discounted by many readers. The many attacks, groundless though most may be, on the integrity of what the left sneeringly refers to as "Faux News", have undermined their credibility with a lot of mainstream folks, if my acquaintances are any barometer. None the less, a terrific piece of writing.

"Bazooka Joe".....heheh....I wonder how many young'uns enjoyed that as much as I did, Old Glock guy? I really enjoy "The Talking Dead"; very well done, with excellent guests. I saved the one with Sarah Silverman on it, just to try and convince my girl to buy the same kind of black thigh-highs and denim cutoffs she had on the show.

matthewvictor: DON'T DO IT.... But if you do, you've received some good info on our confounded firearms laws to help you out. My head is STILL spinning over something I heard from a shooter over the weekend, and this goes to a point PizzaBob made earlier in thread: This guy lives in North Bergen, NJ, but has a Poconos weekender home. He keeps most of his firearms out in PA, but when he DOES need to bring 'em over the river he FEDEXES them to his NJ address! That's how paranoid he is about this damned state and its laws. Seriously, I hope your circumstances change and you don't have to relocate here. Besides a rapidly-deteriorating quality of life; sky-high tolls (the $13 they are now charging to cross the Bayonne Bridge into Staten Island assures that I will never set foot there again); roadway congestion; spiraling crime rates; feckless politicians; political corruption up the wazoo; and the infamous gun laws that strive to make criminals out of law-abiding citizens, there is NO reason at all you shouldn't move here, LOL.

He can join his fellow sports (and, more often now than ever, political commentator of the far-left) talking head, Mike Lupica, on my list of useful tools.

We took a ride down south today and stopped in Keyport on the way back. The Fishery is indeed open again, and kudos to them for overcoming yet the latest bit of adversity to hit them in the last five years or so. Unfortunately, Mike's Subs is no longer. It must've been demolished within the last couple of weeks since we were last there. The Fisherman's Pier took some hits, but should be okay for spring/summer, according to a local I spoke with, but the wooden boardwalk to the left is pretty much history. Boats that were tossed around and out of Pederson's Marina are still by the side of the road, and most of the marinas in the area suffered heavy damage. I wish nothing but the best to you and the rest of the folks in Keyport as you come back from this disaster. Scott in Bayonne

From what they've been saying all day on 101.5, it doesn't look like it. Apparently, folks have been complaining for a couple of weeks to Conrail about strange noises coming from this bridge. It was also stated that the very same bridge had some sort of collapse several years ago. Probably a lot more to this story than we are getting right now. Keep your windows rolled up, buddy!

My cousin's kid got sent home from school for drawing PICTURES of guns and battle scenes in his notebook at school. He was 8. Using today's ridiculous lack of tolerance for such things, if they ever got a load of the awesome WW2 carnage I was drawing in MY notebooks back in grammar school, I'd still be in an institution somewhere.

Pretty amazing story. While I've never had MY life saved by breast implants, they have--on occasion--made me very happy to be alive.

If he was with some big dude wearing a Harley shirt, I think I saw his name in the logbook. But I didn't know his name was Larry until I got home just now. He might've been wearing a Harley tee, too, so it probably was him ("HOGluvr"....I ain't that dumb). Any more of those NJGF tees left? It would be a hell of a lot easier wearing one to the range instead of swiveling heads around trying to guess who from here is shooting, especially based on user names. Anyways, my friend popped his Glock cherry; there were empty ports all night long; the RO was watching football; and a fine time was had by all.

Still waiting for my buddy to get home from work, but I think we'll make it there in time to shoot for an hour. I'll keep an eye out for hogluvr, thanks.

Sorry, James, just saw this reply. But if you're game, I do believe I'll be heading to the Bayonne range tonight with my neighbor to put some rounds out of his new Glock 23. I'll update later if circumstances change.

Here's a big "second" for Chris at Bullseye Tactical, Main Street, Woodbridge. Not only is he extremely reasonable on pricing, but he's patient, informative and a genuinely nice guy.

I definitely give a s*it what happens between Israel and the rest of the middle-east nations. There is no equivocation in my mind between a democratic nation who has been staunchly allied with the U.S. and a "nation" now governed by a terrorist organization dedicated to the destruction of Israel, and supported by militant factions of other Islamic republics who abhor the Western way of life. Isolationism isn't a viable answer in this day and age.
