It is not wise to use one paragraph from one treaty to support the contention that America was not founded as a Christian nation. I am not an expert on this treaty by any means, but I have read enough to know that the translation from Arabic to English is very controversial, and it may not say what you think it says. That treaty also exists with a political context, and context is very important. If you read the Declaration of Independence and other documents from that era, it is clear that the founding fathers were deists, if not Christian.

Do you read Arabic? Are you sure you know what that treaty says?

I just got a response from them that says: So it seems that even if you provide them with a copy of your FID, they still will not sell ammo to NJ residents. Strange.

This situation with Midway is very strange. I e-mailed them a copy of my scanned card. I received an e-mail back that said So today, purely in the interest of research, I tried to order some Gold Dot 9mm HP that is on sale. Then I got the message on the web site that they could not send it to me because of my NJ address. So I e-mailed customer service to see what the problem is. There are lots of places to buy ammo, so I don't really care about Midway. It is more a matter of curiousity now.

52. I've been shooting 3 months.

You have to get used to funny words, like "pop" instead of soda, and "sack" instead of bag.

Yes, include PP application. I was originally going to buy just a shotgun for home defense, but decided to also apply for a PP after reading about what a pain the process is. I am so glad I did. I bought a Remington 870 in December and a Walther PPQ in February, and I am so glad I got the handgun. It has been incredibly fun to shoot.

According to this bank web site, the escheatment period for bank accounts is five years in NJ. https://customerservice.sovereignbank.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3048/~/what-is-escheatment%3F But we're not talking about bank accounts. We are talking about gift cards. It is a private transaction. Why does the state think they have a right to private property? If my aunt gives me an ugly lamp for Christmas, and it sits in the basement for 10 years, that is my right. It is private property. Does the state of NJ think they are entitled to the unused gift lamp? Is there going to be some office building in Trenton that contains a new Gift Card Enforcement Division? How much will that cost? Suppose they do collect some Macy's gift cards. What will the state do with them? Buy new shirts for the Governor?

If you want to find (relatively) reasonably priced FFL's in your area, go to Bud's and check their data base of the fees charged by all the FFLs that they deal with.

I sent a scan of my FPID to Midway over the weekend, and got the following response:

Yes, if you're buying from HF and not using a coupon, you're paying too much. Their coupons are widely available.

I have an air compressor in my garage from HF that works great. I also have a corded driver drill that works great for occasional use. It has way more torque than I can get with a cordless drill, such as when I need to drill a 1" hole in solid wood.

That would make it more difficult to sneak out to the range on a Saturday morning and be there when they open at 8:00.

Weird. I can access it via tapatalk, however.

If you want to shoot shotgun (birdshot) or archery, the Black River WMA in Chester has ranges for those (but not rifle or slugs).

So I am not the only one here with more than one expensive interest!

Silent Service -- appreciate your willingness to be analyzed, which helps us all. I am just curious -- when you saw that it was a woman, did you feel a little bit relieved, or did it make you even more cautious about there being an accomplice? Or maybe it happened so fast that it wasn't a factor?

It is highly unlikely. What I mean is that, while there is virtually no chance that a shotgun can accidentally discharge with a shell in the chamber, there might be some scenario under which it happens -- earthquake, someone bumping into the cabinet, or whatever. Also, I am human, and I might forget to lock the door some day, and I have kids in the house. So for me, and my peace of mind, I think it is better to leave the chamber empty. If someone else makes a different decision, that's fine, too.

Can't see picture.

I keep my 870 in the safe with the chamber empty (and safety on) but six rounds in the mag. That way, it cannot accidentally discharge in the event of an earthquake.

Here is a very well-reasoned commentary (from a man of color) http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/294456/geraldo-and-hoodies-thomas-sowell excerpt:

I hear those sort of sounds often. I just assumed it was a fox. I hear them usually around dusk or a little later. I live in NW Morris County, with woods behind my house.

Now I know who to ask about my Photoshop questions! What do you shoot -- Nikon or Canon?

The problem with the tragedy in Florida is that the very people who are calling it a modern day lynching (of Trayvon Martin) are trying to do the same thing to Zimmerman. You don't get justice by doing that.
