I came across this article describing major security flaws in the OS of over 1,250 WiFi camera models. I own 5 Foscam cameras and they're all on the list. I haven't studied the specific exploits in detail yet to see what specific results might be, other than the obvious access to the video stream from the camera over the Internet. The article has several links including this one which lists all the known models involved. They are all variants of a single Chinese manufacturer repackaged and sold by other vendors.

My wife said I was acting a little odd the other day, and I told her I thought it was the onset of Skook State Of Mind. Then I started rapping uncontrollably. (I already drink primarily Yuengling, but no Kegerator.) Is there something equivalent if we wind up in Luzerne?

Interesting. Well, some habits are hard to break. For comparison: The Luzerne County sheriff definitely states they want a PA DL. The Schuylkill County sheriff says submit the state form and my form acknowledging you know you'll be prosecuted if you lie. The Monroe County sheriff requires references to be from Monroe County, and a copy of the 'Berkheimer' tax document. Sure sounds like we still might be leaning towards a nation of men, not law.

Schuylkill and Luzerne are the two possibilities. I've done a lot more research since yesterday but don't have time to write it up at the moment. The short version is it seems like individual sheriffs do (legally or illegally) interpret the PA statute as they see fit, specifically on the matter of the DL state submitted, and whether they require documents other than the application named in the statute. Also, there has been no court tested opinion on what constitutes a 'resident' for the purpose of acquiring a LTCF. There are in fact a number of threads on PAFOA about this. Finally found them through Google this morning.

Hey JFoster, thanx for that boat license tip. I'll keep that in my back pocket. But truthfully, I've bought enough NJ legal guns already. My direction would be towards firearms and accessories legal in 'most' of the rest of free America. Including some Title II items. I located the PA state statutes covering LTCF requirements. In brief, it says you must fill out the same form statewide (the one I described before) and pay your money. Nowhere does it say it requires a PA drivers license. Regarding residency: "If the applicant is a resident of this Commonwealth, he shall make application with the sheriff of the county in which he resides or, if a resident of a city of the first class, with the chief of police of that city." Nothing about 'primary state of residence'. If you choose to read them, look at section § 6109. Licenses. Then I suppose, as in NJ, the question will be do individual sheriffs have latitude to demand a PA DL? You know, like all the municipalities in NJ and the NJSP follow the 30 day limit on Permits to Purchase? Or not!

I'm going to call the sheriff's office tomorrow. I called today but got an answering machine. My opinion (which I can't swear has the force of law) is that your 'state of residency' does not depend exclusively on your OL/DL. I did research residency requirements for PA and NJ some time ago, and it's very clear there's a lot more than that involved. Changing your DL to another state, while everything else in your life (banks, doctors, another home, CC billing addresses etc.) is in another state speaks a lot more to 'state of residence'. You can Google that for NJ and PA and find it. The fact that the LTCF form has boxes for DL number and DL state would seem to infer that your DL may not be PA. Otherwise they wouldn't need that state box. Further, if I owned a PA home paying PA taxes and utilities, I'm a resident of PA. I'm just not a resident of only PA. If and when the time comes, I will apply for an LTCF with a NJ DL. If I'm refused, then I'll get a PA DL because all I have to show is that I have a home in PA and that I do live there. At least some of the time. I did note that when applying for a PA DL there is no requirement to state anything about your 'primary state of residence'. It's just that you can only have a DL from one state at a time. I happen to agree with Rob0115. Primary state of residence is only relevant to tax matters, including wills and inheritance. Please note that under no circumstance will I be lying (directly or by omission) about anything, either on a form or in person. I don't have to.

I will pose this question as succinctly as I can to anyone who definitely knows the answer. (In other words, you've done it or know someone who has.) If your primary home is in NJ and you have a NJ DL, and you own a 2nd home in PA and live there part time, can you apply for and receive a PA LTCF using your NJ DL on their application form? I scoured the county sheriff's website, and the application form asks for an address (which would be in PA) and a DL number and state, which implies it doesn't have to be a PA DL. I also looked over the PAFOA site but couldn't find a specific answer.

And that's why she must have more than one! My wife's hands are large, same size as mine really. That's one reason she liked Glocks right away; felt like she really had a hold of something. Over time she shot many other pistols, developed some opinions, and now has preferences. They are secrets of state.

How in the world does that equation work? Last week during our bi-weekly range session one of the range officers was nice enough to offer my wife a couple suggestions on her stance and grip. She spent the rest of the session working on them. The target at 21' evidenced an improvement. After the session, back home my wife and I were in the kitchen. She was making dinner; I was seated at the counter with an adult beverage watching TV. Suddenly, out of the blue, she started expounding on why she thinks she shoots .45 pistols better than 9 mm's, why the M&P grip suddenly seemed more conducive to her accuracy than the PPQ (factory grip panel selection still in place), and what the benefits of the range officer's suggestions were. (Full disclosure: she LOVES her PPQ 5" 9 mm and shoots it well.) Aaaannnnd ...we're off! A full discussion ensued. Very engaging. What did I do to merit this??? I thought I had reached the pinnacle when she announced 15 years ago she wanted a NASCAR garage! Sigh. Thank you Dear. Your next request is granted before it is asked.

Well that didn't take long. Obama's last minute swipe at hunters etc. has been undone by the new Interior Secretary. Hopefully the first of many.

I'm still laughing. Jerry Brown told his entire state last year the 'drought would last forever', and maybe that's part of the reason he and his administration never got around to spending a few million to repair the spillway that they knew needed attention. Now the CA taxpayers get to pay for their mistake. Whoa! I think they're going to get some Federal money, aren't they? This year their budget is in over a $1B hole because of an 'accounting error', Brown is still spending upwards of $5B on his High Speed Rail To Nowhere, and the legislature wants to provide single payer health insurance to the entire state (including the illegals) which is estimated to cost over $40B. It's good to be progressive!

ZeroHedge posted this article about the current state of the Oroville dam. Video was just released Monday taken after the water was shut off. Take a look at it; it's stunning. To an amateur engineer like me, looks like the 'spillway' is gone! If they get hit with another round of rain and a full reservoir, they're in for BIG trouble.

The Senate bill has been introduced by John Cornyn. It does not have the non-resident permit provision. http://freebeacon.com/issues/cornyn-introduces-national-reciprocity-bill-senate/

Yikes! Makes my 627 look like a pop gun! Congratulations. Shoot well and often.

Other products available with rebates, but you may not see that until you go to the specific product pages. I got their email blast this afternoon with at least 17 products discounted. These are $10 rebates from TSUSA and should last until 3/31. Read the rebate form for details.

What Smokin' 50 said. An actual analysis of where you are most likely to be in the house on average, plus where the intruders are likely to enter from and when, plus the interior layout of your home (one or two story?) yields oodles of tactical information for planning ahead. (Oodles: that's a professional tactical word.) For your weapon selection I wouldn't overlook a 20 gauge shotgun, either semi-auto or pump. Easier recoil, plenty of stopping power, possibly lighter weight and maneuverability. For example, a Mossberg 500. As far as bullet travel, a shot round will travel (on average) less than anything else, should a round escape the walls of your residence. Slugs of course would be a different story, and not my choice. There's also the option of taking the NRA Personal Protection Inside The Home course. Good luck there Emma. And kudos for thinking ahead. Addendum: Of course if you'd like to make a fashion statement, there's this. Look as good as you shoot dahling.

You got that right! Practically heresy in this state. Thanks for posting that.

Really??? Well then, I'll check to make sure I have alerts on that card.

Got a six-pack. Thanks!

I got an email from NJ2AS a couple days ago about a lawsuit they were contemplating filing against Ramsey, but as I recall it didn't discuss what the ordnance proposed. I found this article on North Jersey's website this morning. Basically they want to outlaw shooting ranges, like Chicago tried to do. Last night they tabled the vote until they get lawyers in place. Currently indoor and outdoor ranges in Ramsey are exempt from the 'no discharge' prohibition.

I know what you mean; sometimes I'm reluctant to chime in on anything! Since you mentioned alpha, beta and gamma, that was one thing I learned: that the three of them have very different effective distances and penetration capability. Alpha very short and not much. Beta longer and somewhat. Gamma... look out. That's why the 'Radium Girls' all got sick even though they were dealing with an alpha emitter, when radium obviously didn't bother Madame Curie et al. The Radium Girls swallowed it. So when it was decaying in their tissues and blood... pow! Cancer cells.
