Sadly, TD Bank also issues [at least debit] cards that are totally flat without imprinting now too. It annoys me that they do this, especially when the old cards they issued in 10 minutes used to be imprinted, so not sure why they still aren't. Last fall, I had fraud on my TD account, and when I went to get a new card, they did the printing right there, like they always have. However, for some reason the printer screwed up, the girl helping me came over and showed me and said they were going to redo it. I stopped her and asked if there was any reason I couldn't keep that one. My debit card has a random pattern of blue stripes on it now, the account information is all 100% fine, and it's at least different looking... No one has ever questioned it. Slate cards are flat with a strangely done imprinting of the credit card number, but they at least look like a real card once you examine them. I forget who makes metal cards, but I always liked those - though those are imprinted.

I lock my car at all times, including in the garage. It's a habit I doubt will ever change. Some guy walking up to the car and getting in isn't likely to get noticed. A guy smashing a window is always more likely to get noticed. As for the house...just need this by the driveway...

Only problem with that is some computer viruses are network aware, so unless you have it completely disconnected from all the other computers and it has its own internet connection, there's still a chance...less of one...but still a chance... Also, transferring files via sneakernet with a thumb drive can still cause problems, since computers often attempt to run files on insertion. Course, even if you're rock solid on your security precautions, Target goes and fcuks up your day anyway. Also, most of us are on a constantly connected connection these days, so keep in mind anything that is stored on NAS drives could potentially be accessed remotely - private pictures and personal information might be saved on one of these, and someone phishing around for interesting stuff might find your IP. Many routers have very basic firewall functionality, so make sure you log into your routers and make yourself as secure as you can be - research anything you don't understand online. And change the damned password from 12345 or password. If you're more security minded, look into an actual hardware firewall...properly set up, it can make you a lot more secure from external attacks. It can make you seem to not exist, which is one of the best things you can be online...

They make a Gen4 SF? I was under the impression that ALL Gen4s were essentially what the Gen3 SF model would have been, at least in terms of grip size. I've been looking into the Gen4 Glock 20 myself. Does anyone know if the G20 qualifies for the GSSF blue label discount?

There are programs which can generate credit card numbers that would appear valid, because there is an algorithm used. Typically, the first 4 digits are like a routing number, that's the issuing bank. So, even if your card made it to your house fine, then never left, and was never even used, someone could still generate a valid credit card number and attempt to use it. I have had 3 or 4 of my card numbers used for purchases I did not make in the last 13 years. It's annoying as hell to deal with, changing the card with all the autopay accounts and whatnot. As a precaution, make sure your computer antivirus is up to date and do a full scan, and try running a program like Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to scan for something like a trojan horse or other malware that captured your info. If anything is found, make sure you also change passwords once you've cleaned up the system.

It's called ketchup, but that's only if I'm feeling adventurous... Just kidding, I don't like ketchup.

Seems kinda skimpy. Only 15,000ish guns? What's that, like, 3 months worth, tops?

I'm not sure you can go wrong with any Henry. Only thing I'd say is to consider if you like heavy barrel guns or not - I impulse bought the H001, the basic thin barrel lever .22, but I tend to like heavy barrel guns, and I would like one of the octagon barreled models eventually...H001T or H001TM. Also consider if you like the Golden Boys...I'm not a fan of the brass/gold look, so those don't appeal much to me. I'm not saying I regret my purchase, my Henry is one of my favorite guns to shoot, but I think what it means is I just need to buy a second Henry... http://henryrepeating.com/henry-rifles.cfm

I saw one for Henry on I think Spike or FX a few days ago - was early in the morning and one of those full 30 minute ones. Tuned in for a few seconds, they were talking about made in America or not made at all, but they were talking about some coffee mugs or something. I was wondering if, or how, they were planning on selling rifles to people. (Maybe I'm in a minority of not having my FFL's info on-hand at all times?) I saw a few rifles in the background of the shot, but I didn't watch for more than a few seconds.

You typically only see your own, so it's hardly a scarlet letter. Banned under your name, that's another story. On another forum I was a moderator on, I know that the forum would tell you your warning level (increments of 20, up to 100) or if your account was suspended, and for how long. The first and second warning, most people wouldn't get a suspension. When a regular member and friend intentionally misbehaved to mess with me after already having a few warnings, I suspended him for 202 years just to mess with him. He was surprised, to say the least. Of course, I reinstated him a day or two later...

PK90, I hate you. Southern Morris county, my driveway is already covered, the road has some random clean spots, I believe under trees, but the road is mostly white. Coming down fairly steadily, has been since at least 7:45. Eff this white shi...

Out of curiosity, what specific ammo have you tried? My S&W 22A dislikes hyper velocity ammo and will not eject properly when using ammo like CCI Stingers, and of course will not cycle some subsonic rounds. I assume you cleaned and lubed the gun before its first use?

Only stuff I've used has been the Federal Gold Target (711B) so far. and I didn't find it to be noticeably different than the blue box Federal champion (510) at 100 yards. That said, I've only really shot them out of a standard Marlin XT-22 and S&W 22A, and I do not claim to be a expert marksman by ANY means... Around November 2012, I was planning to stock up on match ammo for my .22s over the winter and see what ammo my guns liked. That didn't work out so well for me. I've given up hope of finding good match ammo at prices even close to reasonable these days... Best value from my research seems (at least formerly) to be the Wolf match ammo or CCI green tag, when not willing to pay for Lapua/RWS/etc. Strangely enough, my S&W 22A with 5.5" heavy barrel seems most consistent with Rem Golden Bullets. Go figure.

I expect to be there, probably +1+ I don't think I have come out to one since October so this is long overdue...

This year, I plan to finally shoot my bolt actions beyond 100 yards. I expect to join a range with a 300+ yard range, or use PA public ranges to 300 yards. While I don't expect a significant challenge for me at 300 yards with a .223, the .17HMR and .22LR seem like they should be a bit more of a challenge, and I am looking forward to that. I hope to begin upgrading the rest of the optics I own. My last range trip made it painfully obvious just how terrible my cheap scopes are compared to my Nikons. I'm hoping to add a 12GA O/U, make it to more clay shoots, and turn more clays into dust. I'm hoping to add a long range precision .308, though I'm not sure if this is something that will happen this year as things stand. Plus, I need to master my bolt actions first. I'd like to add at least one of the following to my collection: Sig P228, Sig P220, or Glock 20. I really need to get both my hunting license, and FL+UT CCW. Wouldn't mind working for an FFL, either...

Followed by Kali with 3. NJ would be in 3rd place then, so someone will have to suggest 2 or 1 round limits. Those with double barrel shotguns will have to permanently render unusable the second barrel on their evil 28" barreled assault double barrel shotgun passed down from their grandfather. Or even better, a no magazine law. You must hand load every round. Doesn't matter that some retarded state mandated magazine safeties and the guns won't work without a mag installed, all magazines are banned. And once something like that passes, maybe all non-approved magazines [literature] can finally be limited and banned, too!

A nearly 10 pound EDC, sweet! On the plus side, it's pretty hard to lose. You'll keep track of your $10,000 knife, and you'd probably notice things look all funny when you aren't walking lopsided anymore when the knife isn't in your pocket...

I think it's kinda funny that I am such a blade guy, and yet I use a Braun electric razor. I've been interested in getting a straight razor, and I've also been thinking about a safety razor. One of these days... I will say when I let the beard grow out and wanna get rid of it, or if I just want a short buzzcut, I have a Oster Classic 76, and that thing cuts through any long hair in one pass.

did you even bother shooting it before making up your mind you don't like it because someone said something bad about it online?

Always a favorite gun to shoot, I love plinking with it. My only complaint about my H001 is the loading procedure, it feels so wrong to have to put my hand so close to the muzzle, even though I know it is safe to do so...

I own a Mosquito, and I too have had no issues. The majority of the issues you will read about the Mosquito are from the early runs, or people who don't bother to break the gun in properly or run it 'dry.' The mosquito should be run on a diet of CCI MiniMags (or perhaps CCI AR Tactical, which I think are pretty much bulk Mini Mags with a different name) for the first couple hundred rounds. It also likes to be run wet. CCI Stingers are a fun round in the gun, the muzzle blast is impressive, and it actually has a tiny bit of recoil, making it almost feel like a real gun. I also have a category 1 S&W 22A, with target grips, and it is a fun pistol as well. It dislikes hypervelocity ammo, but eats all bulk ammo I've fed it (including Golden Bullets)...pretty much anything under 1300fps I have tried, the 22A likes. Nice thing about the 22A is it is relatively easy to find different barrels, so you can have anything from a 4" through 7" barrel. I don't regret buying either gun. However, if I were to start over knowing what I do now, I'd probably go Sig P226/P220/P229 Classic .22 for an extra $200, as it is a "real' P22x, not a tiny wannabe P226, and I could always add other calibers in the future. I would re-buy the S&W 22A. I do plan to add a Browning Buckmark in the future. If the gun will be used by your wife, I'd suggest letting her handle a few models, as you never know what will feel good to her compared to what you like...

I typically carry: Parker stainless steel pen with Fisher space pen refill, typically front left pocket Olight M10 Maverick LED flashlight, front left pocket Knife of the day (currently knives of the day, a Spyderco Spyker and a Spyderco Rescue 93), one always right front pocket, and occasionally an additional knife on front left or rear right pocket Leatherman Wave (1st gen), on belt at 5 o'clock Cell phone on belt at 3 o'clock Wallet, front right pocket Keys, front left pocket small microfiber lens cloth (necessary evil since I wear glasses), rear right pocket 5.11 casual pistol belt with handcuff key in 'secret' pocket While at home, a Serpa with a Glock23, SigPro2022, P226, or 1911 at 4 o'clock; plus a spare mag at 9 o'clock How do you carry your spare batteries? I'd like to carry a spare or two, since I use protected RCR123s normally, and once they reach the cutoff voltage, they won't come back on until recharged. I carry spare Surefires in the car, and at home I don't care, but it would be nice to have a spare on me... I've also considered going to/adding a single AAA powered light, but I haven't seen any over about 70 lumens, and I'd miss my 350 high setting.

Price is right and the 3 routes are 1H30M (±3 minutes) total drive... This may be the place. After looking over the site, I don't notice anything about guests, anyone know what the story is with bringing a guest? Thank you for the suggestion! I appreciate it. Anyone else have any more thoughts?

Closest gun to ideal for me would likely be a Sig P239 SAS, but with a polymer frame for some weight reduction. -P239 size is enough for me to get a good grip on it, without being too big or too small. I've handled some supercompacts, and I cannot imagine holding one properly with my fairly large hands. -I also want it to be designed well... The P239s I have handled didn't feel like a block. I've never handled a Sig P224, but based on pictures, it seems like a oddly shaped, tiny, uncomfortable, bulky block of a grip. Same goes for the baby Glocks (other than possibly the 42) have felt too 'big' for what they are to me. -I like DA/SA with a decocker, it's something I am familiar with owning multiple Sigs. -Not a .380. I like options (P239 offers 9mm/.357sig/.40s&w), and I'd be fine if it were also offered in .380 for those who choose that round, but I want a caliber I already have, and trust. -No external safeties, unless something that will not get in the way like the 1911 grip safety or Glock trigger 'safety' Wouldn't hurt to have spare reliable mags available to add +1/+2 capacity and a little bit of grip for any carry gun.

I'm a member of EFGA, but lately, I've been wanting to try my hand at longer distances with my rifles (centerfire as well as rimfire). I'm [only just barely] in Morris County and not too far off rt78, so I'm ideally interested in ranges where rt 78 might be a majority of the drive to the range. If I can be even more specific, I'd love for a place less than an additional 45 minutes of driving from the first exit in PA off of 78. Where should I be looking? Google for intelligent results is not as helpful as I'd have hoped. FWIW, I'm not especially interested in going to Range 14, nor places with expensive memberships (say over $100/year) - I'd rather spend my money for ammo to use on a range, than to be part of some exclusive club with only 375 members and a wait list of 3 years. So far, in my searches, I have found out I can shoot at PA public ranges if I get a $30 permit, and there are some longer range public ranges that don't seem like they are too terrible a drive. The three round loaded thing might annoy me, but the price is right. Where else should I look? Thanks!
