Clothing store clerk shoots armed robber in self-defense - TheBlaze

Got down to -1 in southern Sussex County last night. And I thought I was cold! Mount Washington Observatory As Cold As Mars With Record-Breaking Wind Chill | ZeroHedge Those people up there must hope they don't have a medical emergency. Although I guess a helicopter could be summoned, if the wind speed actually permitted a landing.

It's still being reported here, but confirmations are hard to come by. This story was updated with several references very early this morning. BREAKING: Was There Just a MASSIVE Explosion in Skies Over Montana? [VIDEO] – PJ Media

And I haven't heard a word about this "Fox News Alert" on Fox News this morning. I haven't made the rounds elsewhere yet.

BTW that first balloon was last reported over Cape Girardeau Missouri. They're probably scanning for Rush Limbaugh's childhood home.

I don't think so, unless the 'second balloon' made it down to Montana already. The original balloon is now over Missouri. The video showed a round smoke cloud high up from which a very long smoke trail headed downward. And it definitely wasn't a contrail. The Montana governor was just on Tucker and he's expecting a briefing shortly. But he didn't know what it was. An ex-Airforce electronics guy explained that a balloon at 60K feet moving slowly can get much higher resolution photos and information than low orbit satellites. Not to mention the electronic tracing. Like, uh, missile silos!

Every time I watch Hickok45 I do get a little depressed. I'd go bankrupt before I shoot as well as he does.

This is a good point, also mentioned by 10X. While almost any handgun is accurate on its own in a test setup, some are harder to shoot more accurately than others, and require better technique and more practice. Barrel length, trigger pull, hand vs. grip matchup etc. So it's no surprise when most (correctly) decide to carry what they shoot best. Not what's most convenient.

The OP might consider acquiring a laser training device for practice. This demands accuracy, but costs less than many range trips. As soon as I did, several things became obvious. For one, I was hitting a 3" laser target consistently at 24' in my house with almost any size handgun. But take those same handguns to the range with live ammo? Different story! At least until I identified what was going wrong. And surprise... it wasn't the gun.

Thanks for that post. I don't have a Troy A4, but I have something else subject to this whole farce. Removing the stabilizing brace does make the firearm compliant. I have heard nothing to the contrary on this. But I believe this gentleman is wrong when he says of the brace "you can still have it, it just can't be installed". If you have a stabilizing brace in your possession (at least at the same site as the pistol), I believe that amounts to constructive intent and is a no-no.

Good for you. Perseverance pays off. Well done.

Greetings. I think you're relatively new, so welcome to the forum. I agree with the previous opinions that mechanically the two handguns you mentioned can pass the test. So it appears the issue is your shooting technique. Have you considered getting some instruction? A competent instructor may be able to guide you to a much better score. But more importantly, I think you should consider what might happen if you're carrying those handguns. What will happen if you need to use them in self-defense? If your accuracy is less than adequate, where will the other rounds end up and what will that mean to you? It might be very unpleasant. If you were an 'expert' with a 9mm Beretta, there's no handgun mechanical characteristic that would prevent you from becoming an expert with your choice of CCH. So I have to disagree that your best course is finding a more lenient course of fire to pass qualification. IMO you should consider improving your skills where you can easily pass all the courses of fire that have been referenced. And then some. This has nothing to do with New Jersey and handgun permit regulations. It has to do with the best outcome for you out on the street. This is what I have done. Keep at it and good luck.

OK, thanks. I think I'll email the real GOA about this and see what they say. Depending on what they say I'll also ask the 'Gun Owners Foundation'.

OK. So the "Gun Owners Foundation" website is here: https://www.gunowners.com/ and on this website if you 'Contribute' you do NOT go to Anedot.com. It has a contributions page set up. They also refer to themselves as 'GOF'. Does anyone know about this website, the organization, and if they're legit? So, the email I received is from a different domain, the 'user' is GOA, not GOF. I still think it's a hoax. @njJoniGuy : Where did you get the anedot link from? I never released this email from my SPAM filter, and did not click on a contribution link out of caution.

OK, I've received two emails from "Gun Owners Foundation", and their email address is "[email protected]". The email content is formatted exactly like Gun Owners of America's. You know... GOA? Except this is not Gun Owners of America, and there's no website at 'gunownerusa.com'. The subject is "RE: Our lawsuit to STOP the ATF’s pistol ban ". I think this is a scam/fishing setup leveraging off the ATF ruling to grab some fast money. If you don't pay attention to the details you might easily think it's GOA calling and click on Contribute. Especially if you're used to GOA email formats. It was caught in my commercial SPAM filter. If someone has information to the contrary please post. Otherwise watch out.

Or remind him that his previous assessment was that Constitutional issues were 'above his pay grade'. So STFU.

Today in Newton gas was 3.35, 3.45 and 3.59 at stations along the strip. Apparently new loads are arriving and the prices increase accordingly.

I couldn't say. I've never had a cop get mad, or found it necessary to state my constitutional rights during a traffic stop. Perhaps because I've always had a civil discussion about the topic at hand, including any pertinent facts about the moment in question. Of course I never started a constitutional argument about an administrative issue either. Nor have I ever given the impression that I'm spoiling for an argument. And yes, I've had traffic stops. Including two just last year.

And not all NJSP barracks operate equally, if that's your responsible agency.
