Hey , the handguns are small enough to put in the hands of the stick families lol No , thanks , not for me. None of it actually. I would not put a stick family on my vehicle.. one reason( besides it being cheesy) is that criminals often look for a woamn on her own with multiple children to deal with. They are easier to rob ( or worse ) because they have their hands full. I would not put gun stickers on my car for similar reasons ( a thief might hope to smash and grab a range bag , same reason I don't have obvious branded camera bags or Nikon stickers on my car).

These threads always get debated for 3 pages which only demonstrates that the law is grey..over and over again. Smokin Dave said it best..someone has to bring up charges. If the guy had a non violent offense in his history and the shoot was definitely a clean one , the chances are more in his favor tan if he has a few assault and battery charges in his portfolio and there was any doubt as to his reason for shooting. If his life was threatened and his wife was not home and he grabbed her shotgun to defend his life he and she may be brought up on charges but he would be alive. Then maybe a particular far left liberal loon department MAY bring charges after the fact. They may or may not be found guilty by a jury of their peers , if it goes to jury. Then there is a Lifetime movie called " A killing in NJ" and Merideth Baxter Birney and Tom Skeritt play the couple , and someone from the old cast of 90210 plays the perp who gets shot. There is no definitive answer to these questions. If it was a clear home invasion and his life was in danger , I would hope that no charges would be brought. But the truth is nobody can say for sure . The law is written in such a way that it leaves a lot of room for individual discretion in the hands of the powers that be. So you just have to cross your fingers and hope a decent person in charge decides you did what you had to do to live .. but step one is SURVIVE . If you don't..debate over. The end.

Rescue dogs are statistically much safer than store bought dogs ( and healthier) . Why? Because normal family people are usually the people who go adopt. It is JUST like the gun statistics. If you really delve into children that were killed by dogs , one glaring common denominator hops at you - poverty , crime , human stupidity. It is usually a kid that is like 3 years old that was left alone playing in the yard with 3 or 4 dogs while his so called parents were elsewhere. And yes , they are usually pit bulls or rottweilers. That is because those are the dogs of choice of drug dealers , gang bangers , and irresponsible young males in general will pick that breed because of the image ..on top of that they are also most likely to be owned in poor neighborhoods where people don't spay their animals and there are always new pups for the people in the neighborhood. If for some reason Dalmatians became THE "tough" dog to own for these people , it would only take a few years before the majority of fatal dog maulings were committed by Dalmatians . Yes , a handful of adult owners are killed by their pit bulls every year , the same way a handful of people go on mass shooting sprees every year. If the media focuses on it and hammers the headlines with it , they can make it appear epidemic when in fact it is a rarity compared to the number of responsible owners who go through life with zero incident ( in the case of guns AND pit bulls) . Throw out the stuff that happens in very bad neighborhoods , and stuff that happened because parents were not watching their children in such a way that most people would shudder and you will find mainstream incidents of pit bull maulings are quite infrequent. Huskies actually lead the pack on biting the children in the family if you take gangbanger culture ( real or wannabes ) out of the equation. I have plenty of info to support all that , but I have to go to the airport to get my mother in law. Irishpete'smom. If anyone wants to see it , I'll try and compile it at some point this evening.

My little sister is finishing pre med in Swarthmore ( lives in Warren Co NJ) and has been wanting me to take her to the range. I'm sure she would participate . I saw your post in the NJ2AS FB page..I'll be following it
-
If you are interested in Diesel , PM me and I will call the manager there. They temperament test their dogs , regardless of breed. This particular dog is good with everyone and everything he just got a raw deal because his owner let a girlfriend tell him it was her or the dog..not because of the dog , because she does not like dogs period.
-
You might want to call on that..just to check .
-
Mine took 6 weeks , but that was with some back and forth ( They wrote back after 2 weeks and asked for a copy of my marriage cert since I had a married name ) ..you should get yours in a few weeks .
-
I have a boxer hound mix ( adopted from Popcorn park) and I have to agree..the Boxer part of him stands out when he is with the kids. The hound part when he bays at intruders...
-
ahhhright !!! Izzz zeee wangooooo zeee tango!!! Ted's a'ight. He has cool stuff Way cooler than Ozzie. The show was ok , watchable. Is it set to be a series?
-
This dog is particularly nice : I know the manager there , let me know more detail about breed male/female and I'll check for you! Sorry , edited to add proper link. Diesel is a pup for the most part..Victorian Bulldog. Healthier than regular bulldogs , wonderful with kids , great family dog. Probably a good 60 pounds.

Go to Popcorn park in Forked River. They have awesome dogs there! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Associated-Humane-Popcorn-Park-Shelter/122122364501442?ref=ts&fref=ts

It reminds me of this setting on my Honda Pilot's dash ..it can display a graph that shows exactly how many MPG you are getting at every minute as you accelerate , climb hills , go down hills. It is green when you are in the "eco zone" and red when you are not. All it does is keep you focused on some curious novelty instrument while you tool down the road at 65 ( or under 60 if you want green display ..or maybe 70 if you are going down a hill) . It keeps you from paying attention to driving and to things in your path that you could HIT.

Great transaction , nice new shotgun ! Adorable dog too Thanks !
-
Good for him. If the guy was heading him to the back there is a very good chance he intended to kill him. Glad he is not charged with anything. And will this be all over Yahoo ? Nah .
-
very nice! Look at you go
-
Thank you to you too again
-
have you tried contacting NJ2AS yet? They may be able to help.....

Not something I would do , that is for sure . I have an IWB for the Shield and my CZ 75 compact..a Remora for the Shield in case I am wearing yoga or athletic wear ..and pepper spray for the AC garages :/
-
Yeah , the Shield won't fit in most pockets.It is great for any other type of concealment . It is a bit taller than the Nano I think , and it was considerably larger than any of the .380s I looked at and tried. Just curious , when you say "pocket gun" I did not realize it means you intend to really stick it in a pocket? I have seen pocket holsters ..but does anyone just stick a gun in their actual pocket that is not designed for carry? Again , just curious.
-
That must be why my particular friend decided against it. She said it was too much B.S to leave the city with it , easier to borrow one of mine when we are shooting together .
-
Watching this topic too..I have an NYC friend who looked into it and decided against bringing her own handgun with her when she comes to NJ to shoot with us. She has a premise permit in NYC whatever that means.
