safe combination changed by itself
No, this is not a ghost story, the combination on my safe actually changed by itself, i'm assuming from wear and tear. I have one of the cheap field & stream mechanical combination safes from Dick's, the safe is approximately 6 years old now and recently I have had issues where I would have to dial the combination 3 or 4 times for it to open. I finally decided to open it up this past weekend to see what's wrong with it and I found that the second tumbler was off by a 1/8 inch. I now have to increase the second number in my combination by 1 for it to work. Has anyone seen this issue before?

I second Davis in Sloatsburg. I just picked up 2 pounds of titegroup and some CCI large pistol primers last Friday. From what I understand they get shipments every Friday. They are just over the border on 17 north

How many different caliber firearms do you own
9mm .40 .45 ACP .357/.38 Special .22 lr .223/5.56 .308 12 guage I have noticed advantages and disadvantages to both having one caliber vs having multiple calibers. The advantages to having fewer calibers are that most of your ammo on hand will work with most of your firearms, also, if you reload, it becomes a pain to reload multiple calibers. On the other side, when we had the ammo shortage and the most popular calibers were impossible to find I never had a problem finding .40 ammo. So the more calibers you have the easier it is to find ammo for a least some of your guns.

How much desiccant do I need
I have a 24 gun safe and one of those rechargeable desiccant (see link below), but it seems to only last a few days before I have to recharge it and I can smell the moister in my safe. I don't want to run a wire dehumidifier because I would need to run an outlet to my closet and we just repainted. How many of these would I need to last at least a week? http://www.amazon.com/Eva-dry-Renewable-E-333-Wireless-Dehumidifer/dp/B000H0XFCS/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1438710854&sr=8-7&keywords=desiccant

Firearms Appraisal for Insurance
I have metlife for my homeowners insurance, the way they work is they have an umbrella coverage also, $50k for all my belongings, including furniture, appliances, etc... but that would require receipts. They also have itemized coverage which is a little extra. The difference with metlife is that they don't need appraisals for any individual item under $10k. What I did was send them a list of all my firearms, with accessories and the price I think they are worth, they did not ask for any receipts or appraisals and they priced my coverage according to the costs I provided, I did the same for my wife's jewelry. Maybe allstate will accept the original purchase receipts, if you still have them. As far as surveillance cameras that others have mentioned, they might help catch the thief but they won't stop him and they won't help you get your belongings back. Also, how will surveillance cameras protect your investment in a fire or any other disaster?

NJ laws on BB guns
Tradition doesn't warrant an exemption. And if there is an exemption then where is it written? It's the usual politics and greased palms.

full auto BB guns at Freehold County Fair
Here is what i don't get. First, if they are firearms according to NJ then full auto is a felony in NJ? Second, if they are so dangerous then how can they be allowed in such close proximity to children and people in general?

full auto BB guns at Freehold County Fair
I was at the Freehold County Fair last night and guess what they had, the shoot out the star game. WTF? They can have full auto BB guns at a fair with hundreds of people around and I need a P2P to buy a BB pistol?

Calling all computer experts
You should also look into channel interference. Do you live in an apartment building, condo, or townhouse? Somewhere where your neighbors are close to you? What happens is when you have multiple routers in close proximity using the same channel you will run into interference problems and your laptop can get stuck in a search loop and not connect to any router if it sees multiple routers using the same channel. Try playing with the channel setting on your router, most likely in the advanced wireless setting, depending on your router brand.

Somerset IDPA this Sunday
I first got into IDPA in somerset, as a matter of fact I took Stu's course last year and it's what got me started. The folks at somerset are the nicest people you'll ever meet, they are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. If your a beginner like I was last year somerset would be a great place for you to start, you won't regret it.
