Alexa Is Apparently Recording You
Not all the time. But whenever 'she's' triggered. This has seemed intuitively obvious to me since these types of devices were first introduced. Of course companies denied this, but did anyone really think they could resist the goldmine of marketing information that would be available by listening in all the time? I didn't. Of course we could theorize what other purposes this might serve. But I put this topic in this thread just to alert those of you who may have one. If the chat needs to go off the rails I'll open a thread in the 2A Lounge. This guy listened to four years of archived recordings. When we go to our friends' house that has one, we ask them to unplug it. And we want to see it. Because we frequently discuss topics that are no on else's business. Especially Jeff Bezos.

Harrisburg 2A Rally
This is part of what a 2A Rally in PA looks like. More photos and info here. Vlad: I saw at PAFOA you were there. Good job. My compliments.

The rally website. A different Facebook page. It worked for me.

I was part of that capacity last year. And I really wanted to be there this year with all the Pittsburgh crap going on.

Sure as hell I should be there, but life has intervened and I have to be at an appointment with my wife tomorrow morning. Are you going Vlad?

This Week on Gun For Hire Radio #413 Anthony is reporting live from the NRA Annual meeting in Indianapolis. He did win the 76th Director seat! Thank you all for the support!
OK, so I started here. Lots of leads from there on. It appears the BOD meeting will in fact be epic. For better or worse. The son of Neal Knox put it this way: "Option 1. A majority of the Board circles the wagons in defense of Wayne LaPierre and his pals and tries to weather the storm. (They’ll fail, and the whole ship will sink.) or Option 2. A majority of the Board fires LaPierre and other executives (or accepts their resignations) and nullifies their contracts, suspends all vendor contracts pending thorough review and renegotiation, and purges culpable members of their own body – demonstrating a commitment to safeguarding NRA assets on behalf of the membership. (Plugging the holes and possibly saving the ship.)"

NRA President to step down, etc.
The only thing I'm sure of is I don't know enough about this particular topic to offer a qualified opinion. I have some research to do. I can say I didn't join the NRA to further gun safety and education, although I'm happy to support that too. I joined in the 20th century when it became obvious there's a gun ban and confiscation crowd burrowed into our government and society, and I'm not going to have it. There has to be some group at the national level that will fight tooth and nail to protect our rights and render the most disruptive remedy unnecessary. If not the NRA, what group? Now? I'd be interested to hear what our newest NJ board member thinks about all this, either now or after he's acclimatized. In the meantime, this was my PA lawyer's father's open letter to Wayne.

Not if you're a NJ resident. And AFAIK the PA opioid state of emergency is still in effect, so no open carry without a valid LTCF.

NICS Rant
But the real question is, especially for any 'move', how many gun safes do you have? No need to answer that. Just a humorous question. P.S. The fun part about MHEs is walking out of your FFL with a milk crate full of pistol cases.

VP9SK (FDE) - $499
One of my wife's favorites. That's how we distinguish his from hers. Wherever possible hers are FDE. Or ODG.

Unfortunately I have experience with this. And I concluded that their computer algorithm does the following: Exercise a P2P. The 30 day clock starts. Exercise a MHE in less than 30 days from the P2P. No violation, and the 30 day clock resets. You're exempt from the PREVIOUS purchase. Exercise a P2P within 30 days of the MHE and WHAM! Violation. Your P2P is NOT exempt from the MHE date. This is why if you have a P2P you did not allocate to a MHE, exercise it BEFORE you do the MHE. This is my 'theory' based on actual experience. I have not seen anything in writing to back it up. But it's apparently how it works. The MHE will not trigger a violation within 30 days of a P2P purchase. But the reverse will. Every time I followed this method it worked. Also, the actual criteria and execution of a MHE has never, to the best of my knowledge, been advertised publicly. Pizza Bob: let us know how you make out.

PA Resident, NJ FID
It sure does. Find and read ATF Ruling 2010-6 and associated documents. They even consider college students residents when they're living in a dorm. "ATF has previously addressed the eligibility of individuals to acquire firearms who maintain residences in more than one State. Federal regulations at 27 CFR 478.11 (definition of State of Residence), Example 2, clarify that a U.S. citizen with homes in two States may, during the period of time the person actually resides in a particular State, purchase a firearm in that State. See also ATF Publication 5300.4 (2005), Question and Answer B12, page 179. Similarly, in ATF Ruling 80-21 (ATFB 1980-4, 25), ATF held that, during the time college students actually reside in a college dormitory or at an off-campus location, they are considered residents of the State where the on-campus or off-campus housing is located."

PA Resident, NJ FID
OP: If I were you I'd FIRST be talking with an accounting and tax expert on how you are going to earn your income and where. Specifically, to make sure you don't end up placing yourself in a situation where you have to file both PA AND NJ income taxes. I'd also want to know exactly how much I'd expect to save in state income tax to understand if it was really worthwhile. As far as residency, if you own a house in NJ and also lease an apartment in PA you are a dual-state resident. As such you can have firearms you already own in either location, and transport will be subject to the laws of the state you're in at the time. Leave your FID alone and buy firearms in NJ as a NJ resident. And if you have a reason to, buy firearms in PA as a PA resident. That is perfectly legal (PICS knows how to do it) although many PA FFLs don't want to bother with it. Caveat: I do not know if an apartment scenario is equal to owning a home. Proof of residency may be more difficult. Owning a home definitely allows what I said. And with a home, it's also legal to get your PA resident LTCF providing the sheriff isn't opposed to granting it. You can be a resident of any number of states. But you can only have one domicile. Search on and understand the difference, especially for tax purposes.

- Ammo in Essex county (or nearby)
Mrs. 45Doll says: "Time to take your wife to the range." There was significantly more that followed, but I'll leave it at her constructive suggestion.- Ammo in Essex county (or nearby)
SGAmmo is a good vendor and I have bought from them in the past. TargetSportsUSA is usually the cheapest price on the Internet, especially if you are buying by the case and therefore get free shipping. And they ship using over-boxes, so the case arrives clean and not beat up. (If that matters.) If you join Prime Ammo you get another 8% off. However TSUSA will charge NJ sales tax. And shipping to NJ is one day. I ordered this afternoon; it will be here tomorrow. (That's one day from when they ship it. Sometimes when they're very busy it can take several days to go out the door. But depending on conditions that happens elsewhere too.) So price your ammo purchase taking all factors into consideration.- Link to legislation requiring 30 day processing time for NJ handgun permit.
- Notre Dame Cathedral Burning... heartbreaking!
You've nailed it Emma. You need to see Tucker Carlson tonight discussing France with Mark Steyn. Catch him on the replay if necessary. Exactly what does lie in 'the heart of France'?- Notre Dame Cathedral Burning... heartbreaking!
900 year old Christian relic. Perhaps the best known in the world, definitely in the top three. In France, 'Christian' country (supposedly). It's Holy Week. Sound inviting? On another note, is this an opportunity for the French to build a "New Green Cathedral"? Pardon my cynicism; it must be my Jesuit training kicking in.- Link to legislation requiring 30 day processing time for NJ handgun permit.
OK, I'm a glutton for punishment, so here it is. From NJ 2C:58-3 f. Granting of permit or identification card; fee; term; renewal; revocation. The application for the permit to purchase a handgun together with a fee of $2, or the application for the firearms purchaser identification card together with a fee of $5, shall be delivered or forwarded to the licensing authority who shall investigate the same and, unless good cause for the denial thereof appears, shall grant the permit or the identification card, or both, if application has been made therefor, within 30 days from the date of receipt of the application for residents of this State and within 45 days for nonresident applicants. Emphasis mine. But the court doesn't care. They make it up as they go along. It's for the children.- Link to legislation requiring 30 day processing time for NJ handgun permit.
