I think you left Vito out. Everyone knows you don't say no to a guy named Vito.

Werewolves?

My eyes, My eyes....My lunch...

taylor ham for me, its a regional thing. I've checked the menus of several diners in my area. None have " pork_roll " , all have "taylor ham" But I'll agree, other areas call it taylor ham. Try ordering buffalo wings outside of the US. One that messed me up was an Italian hero ( or hoagie, grinder, etc... to some of you ) I ordered in VA. No oil / vinegar / oregano... It had Mayo! WTF??? Or try getting good pizza or bagels outside the NY / NJ area.

Just took a look, this jumped out at me: Glock 17 Gen4 9MM Fixed Sights 3-17rd Mags In NJ?

In a perfect world headline might read... Jersey City caught in a gun straw purchase scheme as all gun manufacturers and resellers refuse to sell to them.

Problem I see with that is that the Dems seem to has less infighting then the Republicans. So on the primary ballots they typically just have the same number of names as the amount you can choose. Republicans seem to always have several choices for each position. So when it comes down to choose 2 for Senate, the dems will typically only have 2 names. The republicans will have several columns of 2 names to choose from. You will see in a couple of weeks when your sample ballot arrives in the mail. The democrats will vote for whoever is on the ballot for their party, just like republicans do. Which party created things like: Welfare, food stamps, social security, extend unemployment out to 2 years. And call all these socialistic programs "Entitlements" So if I was entitled to sit at home all day in my welfare apartment collecting govt money, making more then then minimum wage job I'm qualified for, who do you think I'm going to vote for? Not someone who may end that gravy train. You need to get more people with your views out to vote. That is how to win. Less then half registered voters vote in primaries and non presidential elections. Look at the turnout in NJ for the last presidential election http://www.state.nj.us/state/elections/2012-results/2012-general-election-turnout.pdf 1 out of 3 people did not vote and could not care less about who is running our country. Talk to everyone you know, get them to vote. Vote by mail, there are no excuses.

I see nothing wrong with that. People in nursing homes typically can't get to the polling station, so vote by mail is the way to go. You can't make people vote one way of the other. If you say that they only give the forms to one party then that would be a problem.

And NJ allows vote by mail, no reason needed, there are no excuses not to vote if registered.

Glad that was not my house in Paramus while I was home. I'd hate to think potential nightmare if things went bad. Although it could answer the question of hollow points...

There is a primary in a few weeks, do not forget to vote. Most elections are not won by huge margins, if everyone gets out and votes along with getting their friends and family to vote as well, we can make changes in NJ. In NJ you can vote by mail, no reason is required to do this. So no more, I'm too busy, don't know where to vote, its too crowded, out of town that day, my vote does not count... Your vote does count. Help make a difference. http://www.state.nj.us/state/elections/voting-information-vote-by-mail.html

I see trout pulled out of there all the time while hiking. There is actually another lake past the 'top lake'. If you keep going up the hill there is Bear Swamp Lake.

... An ammunition magazine, which has been temporarily blocked or modified from holding more than 15 rounds, as by a piece of wood or a pin, is still considered to be a "large capacity ammunition magazine. http://www.njsp.org/info/pdf/firearms/062408_title13ch54.pdf

Ran into him Sat morning at a Bergen County Republican Organization fund raising breakfast. One of his major points was that the problem is that majority of people aren't voting. If we all get out and vote change will happen. But too many people just sit home thinking their vote does not count or just lie and say that they did vote. He did mention that people in his own organization said they voted, but the polling records show another story. Just look at how poor turnout is for non presidential elections. http://www.state.nj.us/state/elections/election-information-archive.html I keep working on just getting like minded people to get out and vote. If you don't vote you don't have a right to complain.

The law does not apply to LEO, as always they are exempt. The police unions would kill any law that would put their members at risk. Do they not also carry hollow points? Use cell phones while driving? Treat red lights and speed limits as suggestions? Never mind, I'm ranting again...

I've always been under the impression that no legitimate business charges for an item until it is shipped. Scammers charge first. For me, charge before shipping is a red flag. Always use a CC to place an order, you get a grace period to pay for the item and a way to dispute a charge. Much easier they trying to get a company to give you back your cash. Debit / ATM / same as cash. For places I don't have prior experience with or am not so sure of, I'd generate a new CC number for one use with an amount equal to the transaction. Never have worry of a card getting stolen or charged extra. This works well with anything they may have reoccurring charges that you may forget to cancel.

...Waiting on a Christie veto...

Not illegal to charge fees for a credit card / give cash discount. There are a couple of bills to prevent it, but no law is signed. S-2533 / A-3758

Just the handguns were locked up. This was to prevent someone from over labeling the package and redirecting the package prior to loss control taking possession of the package. UPS employees went through metal detectors leaving the building so walking out with anything would be difficult. Special handling was on items of $5k or greater including handguns of any value. Things probably changed a bit since I left in 1999, every package is now tracked, but I pretty sure certain items are still given the special handling.

Out of curiosity, what price was the 9's? Ramsey Outdoor in Ramsey had plenty of American Eagle 9's for $20 on Sat. Cheap compared to prices lately, but not quite where it should be. Haven't seen any at Wallmart in Suffern in ages.

Since history repeats itself, the future does not look good. http://www.davekopel.org/2A/LawRev/american-revolution-against-british-gun-control.html Why is the USA not a British colony? Why is the second amendment so important? I usually ask the antis questions along these lines. Next chapter may be along the lines of replacing the word British with American.

For the age thing, it is not a legal requirement, just pick an age over 21. Ever notice many times when you buy alcohol, the cashier gets a question on date of birth, but just types anything over 21? Most people don't waste time on dumb F questions except Dicks. You already met the NJ legal obligation when you gave the ID and FID. Dicks goes out of their way to make any firearms related purchased difficult, typically making up their own rules and calling them laws. It's best to just support your LGS.

Trial and error, still have most of my fingers and one good eye. Just kidding. For me it was reading. There was no you tube or the internet of today back in the late 80's. Still use my old Lee 1000, bit of a love / hate relationship, come to think of it, more of the later, but too much invested in it to go to a newer press now. Started loading when I was thinking that a box of 9's for $10 is too much. Was reloading back then for around $6 per 100 for the 9's. Spent a fair amount of time at Hudson County Pistol range and Paterson rod and gun. Can't say that any ammo shortage is a good reason to reload, component shortages take away from that. If you can't find ammo, you probably can't find the components like powder and primers either. I also like loading LSWC for the pistols, puts nice easy to see holes in the paper, don't see commercial rounds like that on the shelf. Got a few questions wondering how a 9 made such nice holes. This helped in the poorly lit ranges with crappy paper targets. Pretty much had to real you target in to see what you hit with anything else. So for me it was cost savings and loading rounds I could not buy.

Other then the 7 round mag limit... Moving should be based on commute, taxes, cost of living, crime in area.... It seems there are no 'rights' in either of these states, just permissions that are withering away.

Having previously worked in UPS... Firearms were handled in the same way as high value items. These items are locked up on receiving, they are given to loss prevention personnel, they are bagged so that the contents can not be seen a new label is applied to the outside of the bag, bags were secured with a lock or seal that would have to be cut at the destination. The destination hub is notified of the package in transit, the package is controlled the entire way. Theft would be quite difficult. You would always know who was in possession of the package and the person transporting it does not know what is inside. My thought on why you can't do this at a UPS store is that they are not UPS employees and can not institute these controls. At least this is how it was when I worked there. If we knew what it was it was handled accordingly, if you 'snuck' it through, loss is possible.
