State Police requiring criminal checks to be done on line
Did you get a list of doctors you are allowed to go and see as well? Maybe its a national background check and gun registry?

Recommend a revolver.
Options I would consider... S&W 617 in .22LR S&W 686 in .357 (can't go wrong) S&W 625 in .45 ACP (a favorite) Ruger SP101 in .22LR and .357 (versatile! Best choice on toughness and versatility) Ruger "Six" Series... Speed, Security, and Service... Speed Six is my favorite... not too big, not too small and fits my hand nice. Ruger GP100 can't go wrong, but I like the Speed Six, better! Taurus 66, best budget one out there, 7-shot, tank-like

Non-criminal arrested for empty shells in his house in DC
I don't affirm or disagree with what these guys did at Starbucks, but I do feel bad for the poor police officer victims that were just doing their job, and in Texas no less. Men in compliance with Texas open carry laws arrested at Starbucks

House of Cards with Kevin Spacey on Netflicks is interesting.

Electronic nics requiring social security #
I don't like the fact that it is on mine. Next time I get permits, I think I will ask to get a new card and whether or not it will be on there.

Electronic nics requiring social security #
My SSN is on my FID card right by the signature. If it wasn't put on yours, is there a space for it?
-
Electronic nics requiring social security #
The SS #... It's on your FID card. So if your wallet is stolen, ooops! Better not to keep it in there all the time.

One realization I've made
Yes, lets go back to the 1770s.

Help to pick a pistol for my wife
S&W M&P 9 full size, CZ 75 variety, or either Ruger GP100, SP101, or Smith 686, or just get a Glock 19.

Ruger You Design the next 10/22 Contest
I'm thinking a Ruger 10/22 TD with a red dot scope, easily detachable bipod, Hogue stock, and small flashlight and laser attached to it with a stainless barrel finished like an M&P all in a scout configuration.

S&W 617, Ruger SP101, or Something Else???
I can't say I wouldn't want a S&W 617, but the Ruger SP101 is a very nice one as well, but the trigger is quite heavy and pulling the hammer back is, too. If you get the Ruger, I recommend that you get a Hogue grip for it.

What's the scoop on the G21SF?
The 21 Gen 4 has a double recoil spring with a little less recoil (to most shooters). It has a more rough texture, which I like. Some might not like the rough texture as it can be abrasive. But, I like it, especially with sweaty hands, etc, and I like the finish on the GEN4 more, as it isn't as shiny and more of a matte finish than the earlier Glock. It has interchangeable backstraps, which I like, too. The size of the SF is about the same as the GEN4 small grip size. The GEN4 medium grip is about the same as the standard 21, and the GEN4 large is, well large. So, you are getting a 21 and 21SF in the mix. Also, the cutout on the trigger guard is more pronounced on the GEN4 to get a higher grip and a lower bore axis, and if I remember, the mag release button is larger, too. They are both nice, but I would pay the extra for the GEN4. If I needed it for duty, or as my SHTF defense gun, I would go with the Glock for a variety of reasons, including the magazines, however, as a secondary gun for other purposes (or backup) if you don't mind the cost of extra magazines, and if you aren't going to update the sights (stock are better than the Glock), and if you wouldn't mind the cost of upgrading to an APEX duty trigger, you might think about a S&W M&P 45. If I was buying a non 1911 .45 ACP, that is what I would get. And, it is ambidextrous for Lefties with awesome ergonomics. My only (2) beefs are that it has a slightly higher bore axis, and that it needs more texture... and the texture can be remedied. And, of course the M&P has changeable backstraps and superior ergonomics. And, did I mention that it is an American rather than Austrian piece of metal and plastic.

What's the scoop on the G21SF?
I would get a GEN4, instead of the SF, unless I found a good used, SF. The GEN4 is more versatile with less recoil. I would like a 30S and some 21 magazines.

Can I travel by car to 2 ranges in 1 trip
I would have proof that I was at the first range, sign in, etc... and I would make sure it was a direct line to the second. In the Krispy Creme State, the burden of proof would be on you. Guilty unless proven innocent with a jury of statist twinkies and sheeple, and enough unconstitutional laws to enforce on the people to keep the attorneys' kids in pizza for a few years.

Meteor?
Was out walking the dog this evening around 10 and saw what appeared to be a bright orange shooting star with a long orange, I guess you could say, segmented tail. It was racing almost horizontal as its trajectory went below the tree line and disappeared in the western sky. What struck me was the vibrant fiery orange and the way the "tail" appeared to be like a dashed, flickering line. .

"Cz 75B's are hard to find"
I had a CZ 75B SA and often regret getting rid of it. The CZ 75B matte stainless is awesome.

22lr Rifle
I was interested in a Savage Mark II, but would like to check out the Ruger American Rifle since it shares the same magazines as a 10/22 if I wanted a bolt-action .22LR. If money wasn't a concern, I would consider a Ruger 77/22. For versatility, though, and with the AR platform, I would consider a S&W M&P 15-22. But, a Marlin 39A would be the most desirable to me, as it is a classic..

Marlin 60 rare?
Yes, I would urge you to find an older, used one as well.

Where to pick up a Glock 19 Gen 4 in North NJ?
Ramsey's, Ledgewood had a G19. Not sure if it was a GEN4, though. Also, try Andover Hunt & Fish.

Marlin 60 rare?
Now that Remington is calling the shots, I am not so sure they are currently being produced.

Christie is not trustworthy.

What would you do?...
If what you say is truly a safety issue then even though its not your job, as a neighborhood,seek ad offer an alternative in a nice manner. Maybe ask the mayor if he could think of a solution.

Ruger American Rimfire
Now if Ruger would just make a lever-action, takedown SR39A/22, say the Patriot Rifle... and embellish it with an option for wood...
-
What would you do?...
Everybody has to get in everybody's business. Just drive carefully. Soon enough he most likely won't be able to park there when snow comes, or a winter ordinance. And, the self-reliant prepper in you can always go get a chicken coop and a few roosters and generously take everyone's attention off the rig with a new racket. Maybe his semi parked there slows down traffic and your kid and the neighbor's labrador are more safe. Lastly, remember, you never know who you are messing with and what they are capable of. If you truly want this Peterbuilt to go away, then consider finding an alternative for him close by... the church parking lot the next block over, etc. And you can always write your friendly neighborhood statist politician and ask him/her to ban truck tires or something like it.
