I guess this answer depends where you are - when I took the FL concealed carry course, the instructor said that it is your duty to keep it concealed in FL, and if this isn't done you can be charged with brandishing.

Awesome, thanks.

Sorry, I didn't know it was an old one. I guess then it's the equivalent of 2 mustangs?

I tried Becker, he seemed annoyed and told me it was a bad time and I was "lucky I caught him there so late" ( it was 2pm). Took one look at them and said he couldn't do it because they had a coating on them. To be honest, it seemed like he just didn't want to be bothered. I tried Superchrome in Asbury Park (they also have some other name they go by) he said he could do them without a problem but he wanted $175 EACH. I had them done on my last car and it was like $150 for the pair. There are some other guys in the yellow pages I'll try, I just figured maybe a forum member had someone they had dealt with before and were satisfied with.

Those are billet rail fabricated aluminum covers, they are about $500 (roughly the equivalent of 10 Mustangs), plus they already have the bungs welded in for the vaccum pump so it would be easier and cheaper to have those chromed. As far as heat, it runs on alcohol so I could basically sit in traffic on the turnpike and never get over 160 degrees.

Thanks.

Yup. It's hard to tell in the pics, but they are a bit scuffed and it irks me! I had them chromed on my last car and I liked it but the guy I used isn't around anymore.

No, def want chrome. Powder coating would be easier! They're for a dragster and chrome is a lot easier to keep clean.

I'm looking to get a pair of engine valve covers chrome plated, preferably in the Monmouth county area. Anybody suggest someone that does decent work and a reasonable price? I tried two guys in the area, one didn't seem to want to be bothered and the other wanted $175 EACH and I can get new chrome ones for not much more. Any suggestions?

I found a tool bag at Advanced Auto Parts that works great - heavy nylon, a ton of pockets and it's inconspicuous. It was like $25. I wish it was a little bigger, but I've seen these all over at Harbor Freight, Home Depot, Lowes, etc.

New York City is bad, but the rest of New York is not as strict as some of you guys think. My grandfather had a carry permit (owned a business) and my brother was able to get one because his boss gave him a letter saying he did their bank deposits. It's definitely not 'shall issue', but it's at least possible to get a CCW there.

I took that course at SS and was told the same by the instructor.

Just print em up with 'NJGF' and if anyone asks, just wink and tell them it stands for 'New Jersey Gun Freak'.

I would buy a NJGF shirt. I think the logo you came up with is really cool, but not really a fan of the 'New Jersey Shooters' name.

Sadly, I believe you are %100 correct.

I agree with the 'no compromise / no negotiate' attitude, but to answer the hypothetical question - yes, in a second. I don't own a sporting rifle or have any desire to, CCW is my number one priority. I agree that there should be no bargaining for something that is our constitutional right and I assume the only point of the hypothetical question is to get a cross section of how people feel.

Now THERES a 'bingo'.

I kind of understand what some on here are saying about NJ2AS. I don't believe there is anything shady going on, but I let my original membership run out because all I ever saw was emails asking for volunteers. A few months ago I attended a meeting since it was near my home and I felt that they do more than it initially seemed so I renewed. Although I feel its 35 bucks well spent, I think it would GREATLY HELP their cause if they were more transparent about what they are working on and where the money is going. I also completely understand if someone disagrees with NJ2AS and wants to start their own group - all the power to them, I may even join both - but I don't understand some peoples desire to bash or tear down NJ2AS weather you agree with them or not. Wether you dislike Frank or NJ2AS or not, the more pro-gun groups we NJ gun owners have in our corner the better.

I moved to Howell a year ago, everything came back in 5 weeks and went smoothly. The only complaint I DID have was that when they contacted my employer they didn't just verify employment, but also told them that I was applying for gun permits.

Go on Craigslist. I got one for my wife that was barely used for $125. Now it sits in my basement STILL barely used, but I only wasted $125 instead of $700-800+.

Dewalt is best but pricey. I have an 18v Porter Cable kit from Lowes (drill,sawzall, 4" circular saw,flashlight) that has been awesome for a few years and was only about $120-130 bucks and I am totally happy with. My dad has a Ryobi and says its junk.

It may not work, but at least we are doing SOMETHING. I'm glad to see we are finally moving to an offense strategy instead of defensive. Until I come across a better idea, I'm all for this one.

J&E auto body 402 Main st Avon Nice work, reasonable, good to deal with.

Stopped in there tonight to check it out since it's about 2 miles from my house, and I can say I will definitely be back. I met one of the owners and he was super nice and helpful, and they seemed to have a pretty large inventory considering they just opened.

FWIW, I have a Kel-Tec P-32 and it's just unpleasant to shoot. Not very comfortable or ergonomic. I just bought a Kahr CM9 and, although I've only been to the range with it once, I really like it. Comfortable and very manageable for such a small gun. Not exactly and apples-to-apples comparison, but I'd be leery of buying another Kel-Tec yet I'd buy another Kahr in a heartbeat.
