Oh God yes lol . Nice Satin jackets. The year I was there we had some Newark related gang activity at the school. Someone took a Chinese Star in the leg . That was the sum of it. Then there was a big gang fight at Black Bridge on year. Kearny is an odd town , not the hood but still a tough place to grow up. I went to Queen Of Peace until Senior year and was one of the few Kearny kids there . The other kids were afraid of us lol

I have a great limerick joke , but it would never post here lol . One to tell over a pint...

That is looking really nice !

I heard that a while back . Does not surprise me . They had issues there even back in late 80s. It is a common school for kids from rougher neighborhoods who try to fake an address to get out of worse places. We had gang issues there for sure. I don't know how it is now, the school . Kearny always had its charm along with its issues. I'll be at the Irish American tomorrow at some point though

So , I just got my 3rd P2P extended ( I am able to pick up my M&P March 30th , it expires 26th ) . I asked about applying for an exemption to OGAM and they said if I needed the gun for a competition or event that might qualify , but that it had to go to State Police to get approved and that would have taken time..I can wait the 2 weeks. I read the other reasons are Estate sales , and collectors. I know of a possible estate sale up by Skylands..so I was wondering two things..1) how do you proceed if you see a collection you want ..i.e who holds the guns while you wait 2) how does one become a legal collector? Is it some kind of blanket exemption where you are designated a collector? This is mostly out of curiosity , since if I buy another handgun before the leaves turn colors, Pete will go plotz. Though he just got a nice new batch of crisp P2Ps himself. If the collection is nice this may apply to him. I do believe it is his turn to buy for a while

we have 9mm , .40 , .45 , .38/357 magnum and I practice with all of them . The CZ 75 in .40( which is Pete's , not mine) is the one I shoot very well. I can line it up faster and am more accurate with it than any of our other guns. Who cares about the caliber , I'm picking up the one I shoot the best. That gun is like a shoe that just fits. Next batch of permits and I'll be looking at one of my own. A close second is my revolver ..to me it is 2nd because of capacity. I do not entertain the idea that shooting when your life is threatened is the same as shooting paper. I expect to find the extra rounds handy . I can't shoot the PX4 9mm for s&^T , it just does not fit in my hand and it is light enough where the recoil has it jumping on me , more so than the all metal .40 or .45 . My preference of what to pick up if SHTF has the least to do with "which caliber" and the most to do with " which gun"

Very very nice ! Congrats again , and continued good luck with the new job !

Did they stop the Hoboken Parade ? May be at the Parade in NYC in Saturday . Have to check babysitter availabilty and the insanity factor.

It was the WAY he said urine that got to me.

That was painful to watch. Between the guys face planting and that ...Littlejohn guy....oh man. I can see the ball falling out , not a familiar type of weapon for them. But how long did he stand there like a statue? Did he really think that the trigger would just eventually give over ? Video can be really misleading , looped and edited. But still , like a PP said I think 3 people platform skipped and shot while he was just squeazing and squeazing ....

Congratulations ! I have been considering P.A..or Switzerland , still on the fence

http://gizmodo.com/5892099/add-the-giottos-rocket-to-your-list-of-silly-things-banned-by-the-tsa Yep , banned. That thing is very necessary when you travel with your gear and are going to be changing lenses in the field . I wonder what would happen if I painted the baby's nasal aspirator to look like that?

Oh! And , almost forgot. This piece of photography gear is banned by the TSA because it resembles .....a....BOMBBBB!!!!! http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/318545-REG/Giottos_AA1910_Rocket_Air_Blower.html

I would load it up with "evil features" I actually have one of these to use with my camera and long tele zoom , but I never use it : http://www.adorama.com/CZSS.html I know photographers by the dozen who have been stopped with them , and I know one who was told he could not shoot with it in Times Square because it was creating tons of nuisance calls.

if they did not have the parent's permission to make her give over her password , then it is a serious violation and is infuriating. Why her password anyway ? They could easily get a screen shot other ways. If someone felt the need to bring this post to school authority's attention , let that person give them access to THEIR account then. I would be at that school in a heartbeat and nobody would be glad to see me. Then I would kill my 12 year old's account( well she would not have had one at age 12 anyway ) . They are not old enough for widespread socializing at age 12 . Sh/*t I was not allowed out of a 1 mile area without a guardian to socialize at that age .

My neighbor across the street ( Newark narcotics ) has a bad a$$ Charger , blacked out windows , all black. Very nice.

Don't know about the law , but congrats on your marriage to someone who shares your interests

Don't mess with the US Mail....

Hmmm...a Colt .45 Combat Elite 1911 , a S&W Model 60 Pro .357 , a space lovingly waiting for an M & P .40 Pro , about 100 rounds each ammo for all 3 handguns , some .223 for my Mini 14 , 3 10 round mags for the colt and 2 7 round mags , eyes , ears , Fobus holster and double mag holder for the 1911 , some Gu packets , and athletic tape for my thumb ..a must since becoming rudely acquainted with the recoil of .357s . Soon to add - deleader hand wipes ( on order) , and a small first aid kit. Gum. Lip gloss. Wallet and cellphone. Oh and a handheld tactical flashlight thingy.

No , he just has a lay low forum personality. Get him in a pub though ...

Can you explain dry firing practice? Do you mean using snap caps?

The most damning thing I have read is that the shooter was in his car when he called 911. They told him not to pursue the suspicious individual and he did anyway. The shooter was following a kid with his car. Even if the kid was doing something suspicious , the shooter would have had to get out of his car .. I don't know the laws in Fla ..but suffice to say if he is claiming SD a prosecutor would have zero problems showing the defendant could have retreated .
