I think it was two mornings ago it was totally unresponsive. The IP responded to pings, but no content returned. And the lag seems to be intermittent more often now.

I was at my FFL today, and a customer received the NICS approval the same day! Beam me up Scotty!

Stephen Gutowski is the publisher of The Reload, and was on C-SPAN's Washington Journal this morning. He said he's been covering firearms for at least 10 years, and started this site to bring more objective and unbiased coverage firearms into view (my phrasing). His interview should be on C-SPAN's website shortly if you want to watch it. I'm just going through the website myself.- Physical Prepping for a event ( shtf )

That's very true. Also, don't forget your pets, if you want them to survive with you.- Illinois foid card unconstitutional
I knew you can buy ammo at the time of handgun purchase. But I had no idea a NJ FFL will accept an executed PtPP (paper based or printed digital copy) at any later date to sell you ammunition.- Illinois foid card unconstitutional
Well I agree there's really no reason not to apply for a FPIC as well. A handgun is useless without ammunition. I was really just musing about another quirk in the NJ law. I'd be interested to know if anyone on the board has gone this route. For whatever reason.- Illinois foid card unconstitutional
So if the first thing you do related to firearms is apply for a handgun purchase permit they will create a SBI number for you as part of that process? And without applying for a FOID? If that's true then you could purchase a handgun and not have been fingerprinted.- Daily humor thread
Blasts from our immediate past! Admit it... you miss all those BOMBSHELLS! (Breaking News video; new composition) Glenn Greenwald on Twitter: "A short two-minute video for those of you in the media pitifully insisting that no media reckoning is needed and journalists performed beautifully, soberly and responsibly throughout this whole saga: https://t.co/PF5s2kTcYA" / Twitter The Democrat Media Complex is a true propaganda cabal. But it's funny in a gallows sort of way.- Illinois foid card unconstitutional
I believe that technically you can apply for and be granted a handgun purchase permit, with which you can buy a handgun. But without a FOID you will not be able to buy ammo or long guns. So the question is, if you apply for a handgun permit without a NJ SBI number (usually created with a FOID), will they issue you a SBI number for the handgun permit? I'm not sure about that.- Ham radio
Here you go. Online, no downloads, and it starts out at with the 'method' I suggested. You can try it out with user/password test/test. If you like it you create an account and customize it as you wish. LCWO.net - Learn CW Online- Ham radio
My story is too long to blab out here. When I wanted to learn electronics in 1975 for commercial and $$$ purposes I used these guys (for basic electronics of course; no computers then). They made me good enough with home study to eventually be a commercial broadcast 'engineer' and then microwave tech for Hewlett Packard when they were still an instrument company. I assure you I put in a lot of study time. I wanted to really understand it, not just memorize any answers. But boy did it pay off. Learning the Extra technical portion isn't that intense. But I'm sure there's plenty of equivalent material out there covering the necessary basic principles of electricity and radio transmitters and receivers. Checked the ARRL site?- Ham radio
Back in the 80's I had to receive 20 wpm to get my Extra, and I did. My biggest mistake was first seeing the code in print, then trying to memorize dash-dot-dashes, and then relating those visuals to the sounds. If I did it over again I would never look at the code. Just take one of those courses where you only hear a letter and then the sound. And the code letters should run at least at a 20 wpm rate from the get go. You start slow by spacing the dead air between letters, not slowing down the letters themselves. Then, as your recognition gets better, the dead air gap just gets smaller and smaller as you get faster and faster. Much, much better in the long run.
