Yes, but what you're describing is what we've been doing in NJ all along.

My mother's family had a strong gun tradition passed from father to son, going back to the colonial era. Since she wasn't a son, it never got passed to me, and I had to take it up independently as a senior citizen to pass the tradition to my adult children. All I can say is do not overlook your daughters. Doing so will be a disservice to your grandchildren.

How did a police officer manage to lose his badge and gun? Aren't those supposed to be on his person?

Prices are up everywhere so if you go to a show don't expect anything to look like the prices of last October, no matter where you go. Having said that the East Stroudsburg show is a tad larger than the Allentown show and smaller than the Reading show. They are all put on by the same show sponsor.

I'm a member there and have had a positive relationship with them. In the past few months they have had to deal with a mob in the store half the time due to the panic buying going on, while at the same time having to work twice as hard to obtain goods to sell. I'm going in a bit less lately because of the crowds, not the employees. I would recommend the place but hey, I'd like the crowds to disperse. :-)

If they come in, see you have a bunch of guns and ammo and decide you're a danger, they'll seize your weapons, which you will never see again, and possibly arrest you and stick your name in the NICS system. Sorry, but until the government respects my right to keep and bear arms, I am not letting them in the house without a warrant.

Public employees are mostly Democrats. Police are public employees. New Yorkers are mostly Democrats. The New York Police mostly are New York voters. I am a strong supporter of those NYS Police who voted Republican, . . . both of them.

NJ is about to make purchasing from online sellers moot.

I disagree. The local LEO who handled my last set of PP permits told me flat out he knows nothing about guns and all he does with his is qualify once every 6 months. He also thought our NJ laws were typical of what people hade to endure around the country. LEOs can be just as ignorant about guns or gun laws as anyone else.

How about we compromise by asserting supremacy of federal law and declare invalid all state laws on firearms?

To be frank, the current political environment is enough to get 18 year olds to think twice about volunteering for the military. That is really a dangerous turn of events for our country.

If you want to do this legally, start with making sure the recipient is an adult, has a Firearms ID, and fill out all the appropriate paperwork. If your child is underage, forget it.

Wouldn't the militia be expected to defend NJ? If Pennsylvania ever attacks, I'd just surrender. I'm not worried about NY because we know they don't have any guns. :-)

I've ordered from them before. No problems.

I thought Wayne did just fine. David Gregory seemed on decent behavior too with no "props" to wave around.

File a complaint. The clown should not have pointed a gun at you when you had put yours down. He should have been polite to you in your place of business. He is also flat out wrong on the law. The result of the complaint should be a reprimand from a superior officer. If you get any grief, tell them to keep their officers off your property.

Depending on when, where, how much, I'd be interested and inclined to bring the whole family.

Ask a local FFL as they are allowed to do it.

They have a 1 million unit backlog last I heard. That is a drop in the bucket.

I was in the South Tower. When I got out I was facing a long day of struggling to get home. Water was the first priority for me too. A few blocks north of the WTC I found a street vendor with one of the push carts common in NY and bought a bottle of Poland Spring from him. That was the best bottle of water I ever tasted. I now keep a case of bottled water in each car along with my GHB.

It's a waste of taxpayer dollars and the flat price for the guns implies they are either paying too much for the gun or screwing some clueless owner. If you own a gun that isn't stolen and want to dispose of it you should just go to an FFL and get a fair price. If you want to set up a booth to buy something to compete, try making an offer to buy any ammo. :-)

The prices are really geared for membership. If you are going to go regularly, check out prices with membership.
