Underdog

Just make sure that you transfer it properly back to NJ... Locked up, out of reach, etc. If you buy a / Pellet pistol don't make any stops until you get to your home or the range. It would probably be a good idea to have your FID card with you. Enjoy those two Daisy's.

With the hassle, risk, and expense in shipping, etc. it is probably not worth it for most things to get through Gunbroker, especially since it appears to be that the majority of things are sold on there through dealers and dealers have overhead, etc. and not usually the best prices. That said, you can sometimes get something cheaper through an out-of-state dealer and have a small savings by the time you are done. That savings might not be worth the risk, though. To save $20, I would rather support a local dealer (that is decent to me) and know what I have in hand. Sometimes the out-of-state dealers on there don't want to deal with NJ, etc. magazine restrictions, etc. However, sometimes they will work with us US citizens behind the Iron Curtain. For example, I was able to get something on there that was NJ legal, and had the magazines shipped to my uncle out-of-state because they weren't NJ-legal. He sold them for me and I used the funds to buy statist-acceptible magazines. Even if you find something at a great price, by the time you factor in the FLL and shipping charges, typically you will be back to NJ prices. Gunbroker's value is in helping you to find and acquire things that you cannot find locally, but which you may wind up paying a premium for. I have used GB a few times and have had smooth transactions, received what I thought I was getting, and had no problems. I paid fair prices for the items that I got with the exception of one really good local deal. Another way to use it is to buy stuff on there from local vendors and pickup in the shop. Then you can avoid FFL charges and shipping. You can get a good deal sometimes if others don't bid on it, especially if it is local and you put a lower bid in. But you have to be careful, because if the dealer expected it to sell for more, or expected to get a little more from FFL charges, exaggerated shipping charges, etc. it might not be "available" when you go to pick it up, as many ads say that the item is also being sold in the shop and the auction could end anytime. You have to read the ad carefully as well, because some local dealers will only sell through the mail, especially if they are FFLs out of their home. You could wind up getting it from a local dealer and still have to pay FFL fees and shipping.

It seems like much less traffic on the road.

All a hotdog needs is lots of sweet relish and nothing else, and you don't have to be too conservative with that relish. However, mustard, especially anything non-yellow mustard, perhaps spicy brown and some texture, etc., would also work either in conjunction with the relish or by itself. In a pinch, yellow mustard will do just fine with or without the relish. But just plain relish is my choice. Chili and diced, raw onions (Stewart's Rootbeer comes to mind), or sour kraut straight up are also good for a little twist. There is a little hotdog place in Phillipsburg. I think it's called Toby's (if it is still there), and I cannot in good faith go there because they do not have relish. Yes, a hotdog place without relish; Unbelievable! And, ketchup on hotdogs is like putting gummy bears in frozen yogurt. It is kinda gross (unless you are a kid). Those onions in a tomato-based sauce aren't too bad, though.

Good morning all! The thread ended on a peaceful note and then the OP had to taint it, and of course the reactionary mod had to lock it without seeing what was really there. Sandy, I might have to take you up on that, as I have not been to the Woodland Park Range and I would like to see the difference those sights made. And, if you would like to go out to Shongum, another awesome range, I can get you and a friend in to shoot there sometime. I love having a gun forum to discuss all aspects of guns and politics.

Thank you for sharing. I will have to check out those sights. My camera bag is a diaper bag from LL Bean, actually a backpack. They don't make them anymore. I can carry everything except my 70-200 lens. My range bag is something from Lowes.

I will flat out state that I don't go on here much anymore because there are too many progressive-minded people on here that either spin subtly or don't have a clue, and because I don't like the the format of the marketing area. I am bored with aggravating the forum police, and well, frankly, there are no strong conservative women's opinions on here. I have often wondered which aftermarket sights the women prefer. I like TruGlo TFO sights, myself. And, I really do think a Vera Bradley concealed carry case would be awesome.

Then you really have not gotten the whole point of some of the comments in this thread and you are misinterpreting them. Maybe they are unclear or poorly written. I didn't agree with where this thread was going early on. I have the utmost respect for women. I have brought my wife and her friends to the range and my two nieces, one graduating from Princeton next year.

It's not about the shoes. It was brought up as a point to illustrate that the thinking that women who where here are not participating solely because of the perceived "a-holes" on here irritate them enough not to bother and that that is the reason behind it. That we should focus on making it politically correct for women to come here. I don't agree. If you are not on here, it is because it doesn't interest you. In fact, I think that part of it is because you don't like the new sales area, which isn't really new anymore. You bring and take what you want from this forum. Just as I do. I was illustrating tongue-and-cheek that it is not about doing that.. catering to Women's interests, etc. that it is a forum about gun culture in NJ. I was also playing on the fact that it is not that important to the forum to find ways to entice you to visit, what is important is focusing on our rights.... saving them. There are plenty of liberally-oriented people on here that are hurting and undermining the gun culture by being complex individuals that can decompartmentalize and "support" the right to bear arms and yet create policies that take away jobs. That believe in the brain-washing common core in our schools but enjoy shooting their Sig on the weekends. That view women in such away that they feel that they have to make a feel-good, female friendly GUN FORUM to draw women in. I disagree. There is plenty of room for you here, Sandy, if you have the time and you. So, what is it that is so offensive? I am not talking about this thread and the Vera range bag. I am talking about before this thread? ...Those with strong political views being vocal? The cop haters? The progressives (imagine that on a gun forum), or what?

This thread would never have happened in a more freedom-loving state. I don't care if my wife comes to this forum or not. If she wants to talk about the merits of stock Glock sights, then she can log in. If she wants to find out what is going on concerning the laws and firearms in NJ, she can visit. I'm not going to sign her up and tell her that it is a peachy site that will make her feel good. It is what it is. She has to put up with my conservative views all the time. And its not my fault, its that day in and day out I am not left alone. I made considerable "sacrifices" to comply with 15-round magazines, and now the thugs want to attack me further. It doesn't stop, and I'm not going to give up, either. Whether its being vocal on this forum or elsewhere. I owe that to my children and my paternal instincts that kick in.

No, I am not tolerant of those that vote socialist, Marxist, Statist, Fascist, Community-Organizing thugs in and don't believe in truly limiting the power of the government over the governed and that are not in my best interest and protecting my individual rights and balancing them as carefully as can be while maintaining a functioning society. Listen, we have to give a little liberty to be part of a society, but we have gone past that point. Those that want to fundamentally change the idea of a Democratic Republic, however quaint, and taint the memory of those that fought to uphold and maintain it, they do not have my respect. Half the county that votes Democrat has voted two or three times in an election, voted while dead, voted while illegal, and voted while being compromised by free stuff. And, if 50% is Democrat (socialist / big-government statist) why is 90% of the media got their back? Why isn't there a balance, Vlad?

The whole point is that this is ridiculous. You weren't able to find enough good in this forum? I am not saying women are so shallow that they are into shoes... So, what would make the forum more appealing to you? Change those avatars? No politics? No disagreements? I am saying that those that think they can make it more women-friendly on here are ridiculous in trying to do that to bring you all on board. That is the community-organizing mentality that is hurting us all. If I don't want the opinions of those that are on here, I don't read their posts. If I want to learn about handguns, I go to the handgun section. I'm not worried that Toad will say something that offends me, or that Underdog might make a major mistake and alienate all the women that come to the forum.

I am accepting of others. I am probably more tolerant of other people than you are, although it doesn't matter. However, I am NOT tolerant of anyone that is a gun owner and voted for ANY of the tyrannical Democrats and their agenda or that voted even the first time for that sorry sack of presidency that we have in Washington no matter how complex of a person they are. Those of you that fall into that category are against freedom, now matter how tolerant that you think you are. Let me repeat that. You are against personal liberty and knowingly or not, you are against private gun ownership. There are many on this forum that fall into that category, men or women and I cannot let it rest.

Because they are just gun enthusiasts, gun enthusiasts that should believe in the Bill of Rights. I have nothing against gun enthusiasts that are metrosexual. What I am saying is that it doesn't have to come into the mix. But politics does!

Give me a break! We don't need Metrosexual Gun Enthusiasts. Just Gun Enthusiasts with a keen interest in preserving our rights, men or women. If there are women in NJ that are gun enthusiasts, and they like forums, they will most likely find a home, here. If there is not, then they won't. By the way, Vlad, I'm not trying to divide people. That is done every day by the progressives in power and their RINO cohorts that divide ethnic groups, sexual orientation, men and women, etc. If you want to bring more interested people, women included to this forum, then stop the promotion of progressive drivel and progressive tenderness.

Sandy, that was tongue-in-cheek for the men, here, that want a "feel-good" forum, or that have a hidden agenda. It is about interest. And there is plenty here for you if that is your interested. Coach and Pinterest were in jest and too much for some of our forum members with Cryan posters. As for the women that you shared it with, I bet they would love to have a discussion on guns and shoes, while they are talking about reloading, or photography focal lengths. If this thread has hurt your feelings, then I humbly apologize, but if you claim to have the interest you have then that is BS. Most modern women I know wouldn't have the time to be here and that would be the limiting factor for them. Many women love and marry Troglodytes. By the way, what are some other forums that pique the interest of the modern women that shoot's? As a complex individual I am going to bow out now. Good night!

Yes, there are collectivists with that power. Hey, this thread is ridiculous. Again, woman will come on here if they are interested. They will not care about your avatars, political grandstanding, our family discussions, etc. unless they are interested. They will not care about politics, etc. unless they want to search around. This is NOT a thread to pickup dates or see what the other side's perspective is. It is a forum about guns, gun enthusiasm, gun-related items and topics, and of course... politics. In a state like this, one cannot avoid this. In a country with tyrannical thugs in Washington, no matter what dung affiliation they have, we need to wake up. Instead of bringing women to the forum, go on a date to a Tea Party event. I may have derailed this feel-good thread, but its because it is ridiculous. The OP wants more women involved in all aspects of the 2nd Amendment, including political activism.

So, serious... Tongue in Cheek (and honesty)... Women aren't that thin-skinned to be insulted. If there is something here that interests them, they will come. If you build it, they will come. You will find women at other forums, the ones that interest them more... fertility forums, baby name forums, fashion forums, sex, health and nutrition, cooking, etc.. Do you think women sit around and wonder how they can get guys to join their forum? It is about Interest. If women are interested, they will come. My sons like boy things and my daughter likes girl things. Do they like each others toys? Sometimes, but its not the rule and it doesn't add significantly to the numbers. As a general rule, they maintain their lines. Did I unduly influence them. NO. They like what they like. If a woman does come on here, she will get more attention, just because of the the scarcity. She may or may not like that. If she wants to be low key, she won't announce she is a woman. Do more women or more men go to Home Depot? Do more women or men go to Target? Are there exceptions to the rule? Of course. Some liberals are good gun owners. Some women are interested in gun forums. You guys are so ridiculous, I'm laughing so hard it almost hurts. There are men and women interested in firearms. There are men and women interested in shooting sports. And, there are certainly men and women interested in self-protection and protecting the ones they love (Not enough, in this state, all around, though... a credit to the OP). The liberal, statist, RINO government is against all of those. I am sure that this forum would be shut down if they could find a way. I cannot even access it at Morristown Hospital. And, men and women are not one-sided in their political views, but gun control is lumped together with say Common Core... Something that many woman should be much more interested in. Why don't you work harder on getting more men to join the forum? They have a latent interest. Women are probably the largest group of new gun owners and may find a home here as well, but you aren't going to make it more "hospitable" by not being yourself... As I said earlier, Pinterest is your friend, right! Our founding documents are also your friend and inextricably linked to those that own guns, male or female! And by the way, I'm a "big-tent" gun enthusiast and stereotypical of a gun owner. The more responsible constitutional conservatives, men or women on this forum, the better. I'd tell you what this forum really lacks, but some of you conservatively less endowed might cry! We don't need more women on here as much as we need real men!

I think its a scientific fact right up there with global warming, the liberal mind of any creed or gender is largely incapable of safe gun ownership, at least over time. Are there exceptions to the rule? Probably. But lets look at my anti-brother-in-law and his wife (I think she is female). They are perfect examples. They also believe that they cannot make up their own decisions and so the government must know best. It has to in their case. They are against gun ownership because they cannot control their behavior and actions (anger management) and because they need guidance, and due to transference, they believe that others are equally as pathetic. As far as constitutional conservative goes, we will eventually lose our unalienable right to self-protect unless we move in that orientation. I am not talking the ultra-right demon conservatives that really don't exist that are quoted continuously in the media, except for a very small minority in the fringe. Is Constitutional Conservative the be all and end all? No, but it is our only hope, Obi Wan. Is a somewhat safe male or female liberal with a gun a start in the right direction, I guess. The more the merrier... Quality is better than quantity. Oh, wait, lets not hurt anybody's self esteem. If you want more inclusion, including women in our forum and this media, then I suggest having an NJGF Pinterest board. I have noticed that men try to help women out at the range sometimes and it annoys them. It seems that way in the gym, too. Give them space. Maybe space on the forum, too. I think the whole thing is an interest thing. If it was NJGASF (New Jersey Gun and Shoes Forum), there would be women on here 5 to 1. Max should look into starting the NJSF (New Jersey Shoe Forum). Think of the clients! And if GTO Nut was working there, he probably wouldn't have to put up with politics, which are ingrained in ANY gun or firearms forum. If you take some of the women in your life to the range and they become interested, and then you point them to this site, they will most likely gravitate. But, will they want to come here to talk about gunsmithing, politics, and such. NO. Not really. It's all about interest. Do they want to talk about S&W Revolvers? Probably not. So, what topics would they be interested in? Coach holsters? Alex and Ani Grips? Brighton sights? Vera range bags? Starbuck's Trap Event?

This forum needs more female constitutional conservatives (and to all you who know who you are... more male constitutional conservatives)!

Works great!

We should just donate to a new tax exempt organization that arms welfare recipients and contribute to companies that promote solar-powered or flourescent tube black rifles.

The emergency brake should still function. My first car, a Mustang, had leaf springs which broke and "fell" on the emergency brake cable while I was driving. My car went from 40 mph to zero in a fraction of a second.

The Ruger Standard and then the Marks and the 22/45s are all classic American firearms. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder (just as with the Buckmark). Some people like their looks and some don't. Some do not like the Mark's grip angle. Some prefer blued to stainless. Some like the thin,light tapered pencil barrel and others like the fluted bull barrels. And some like different length barrels. And, these pistols all have a fun-loving break down and cleaning notoriety. For those of you that have a fondness for them, what is or are your favorite configurations for this classic Ruger and why? Also, what is your favorite holster... I like the stainless Ruger Mark III Hunter TALO distributor exclusive with the 5.5" bull barrel and the v-notch rear sight changed to the standard sight. I like 5.5" barrels. I also like the Mark III Ruger 22/45 Lite with the 4.4" fluted barrel in black. And, if I lived in a different state, I would certainly consider a threaded barrel version of the Ruger. Lastly, am fond of the TALO Mark III 22/45, blued, with the 4" tapered barrel. I am also fond of just about any Mark II in a similar configuration. In all cases, I prefer the look of the blued finish, but prefer to own for practicality the stainless whenever possible. I like the Black Max holsters, and I would love to get a leather Lahti holster that mags could be stored in as well. So, what are your thoughts on Rugers? I was considering setting up a poll, but would prefer anecdotes. What updates have you made?

It was reported that the mother actually went after the dog and was bitten, too.
