Never seen that before, that cracked me up

In a primary election the volunteer will simply ask you which party you would like to vote for. Which can be funny if you're in line behind an angry old dude who thinks he's not being allowed to vote until he tells the volunteer his political affiliation. If the election volunteer did not let you vote in the primary as an unaffiliated voter that is illegal and you should take action immediately. However, if you were registered as a Democrat (or other party?) then they would not be able to setup the machine for you to vote in the Republican primaries. Are you sure you are registered as unaffiliated?

Yes and you can drop off the form at the post office on your way home from voting. http://www.state.nj.us/state/elections/form_pdf/party-affiliation-form-062011.pdf

I don't care for their example of how they think the law should be written in that petition. They are recommending a mandatory 1 year sentence for each round greater than 10 in the commission of the crime. Since every gun related charge in NJ is a crime (felony), that will only force additional prison time for legal gun owners who got snared by NJ's confusing laws. The mandatory 1 year sentence would not apply to actual criminals since they will plea down in exchange for turning state's evidence and they'll be out the revolving door and back on the street by the next morning.

That is interesting about Chasing NJ. If I remember correctly Eric Bolling mentioned that show once on the Five. I think the producers of that show are his people. Good for them, pro 2A on a local station is always a good thing (in Bergen County no less)

In case it's not obvious.. The people hinting that you should do it anyway aren't going to pay your legal fees, hold your hand while you sit in jail for 5-10 years or support your family while you're incarcerated. They might try to sleep with your wife though.

Adler v Livak (1998) Though that ruling seems to only allow them to delay/deny due to a delay from SBI. Maybe we need another suit for arbitrary delays, i.e. a case where SBI data request was fulfilled promptly

Meet me at the range with a kid and a dog.

Stay upright, insert your leg in between the dog and the child. Once the dog latches onto you, you should be safe to take a body shot at a high angle away from you and the child. If the dog won't unlatch from the child, pin it's midsection with your foot and shoot it towards the back of the body if it stays on the child or previous instructions if it re-latches onto you. Dog should immediately lose focus (unless its rabid) and attend to its wound if not dead already. Remove child from danger and tend to both your wounds, perhaps on top of a vehicle. Or keep you garden hose pressurized.

Before you are promoted you have one more clue to unravel. Use the World Almanac and Book of Facts to help you find the missing word in the following sentence: "The country was in peril; he was jeopardizing his traditional rights of _______ and independence by daring to exercise them.” ― Joseph Heller, Catch 22

Headline should read: After turning NJ into a Progressive Cesspool the majority of NJ residents, having made their bed in NJ, are leaving en masse, to sleep in someone else's. The remediation expert is right.. Lock those borders down!!!

Hahaha, brought me back to better times

I agree with you Newtonian. I used to have the same mindset as many of the posters above you. But after personally witnessing someone go through hell after being snared by NJ's nebulous firearms laws I have a very different opinion now. In this incident the defendant had his local reputation ruined, was denied his 2A rights for the duration of the ordeal and had spent over TEN THOUSAND dollars in lawyers fee (multiple retainers). The decisions of a corrupt township and incompetent judge were eventually reversed but the damage was already done. The best part were other NJ gun owners insinuating that he must have done something wrong because they do the same thing and they've never gotten in trouble for it. You don't need to be arrested for this behavior for it to affect your 2A rights in NJ. All you need is the fact to be mentioned in a police report. Then on a subsequent FPIC renewal or P2P application the investigator can view the incident as bad judgement on your part and deny your application. Then a judge that always sides with the State can complicate your appeal. Your right to due process are abridged in these proceedings as the rules for introducing hearsay as evidence are relaxed and the court will make its decision by considering such nonsense. These things can and do happen. Talk to any NJ firearms attorney and you will hear some real horror stories. In my opinion these are the worst kinds of situations because the defendant's peers behave the same way and have never gotten in trouble for it. So they assume the defendant must have done something really bad. "There must be more to this story", etc.. I don't cower either. But I shudder at "selective prosecution" and its derivatives. And those who support it by accusing those concerned of being "tin foil" types. Shame on you!

As can NJ per the nebulous "public health, safety or welfare" clause found in N.J.A.C. 13:54-1.5(a)5. Can happen and does happen. And I'm talking about a driving record of 2-point moving violation every couple years, no points accumulation, no serious offenses.

And to think.. this is Tactical Turtle's legacy.

But if you're not actively hunting why not just carry under the FID provisons instead? This allows you to carry the long gun uncased in your vehicle.

It does. It's an A misdemeanor if it's loaded, B misdemeanor if not. The latter is often overlooked with officer's discretion.

I think we can all agree that the hand dryer in the bathroom is phenomenal.

I have also shot with all those types. And I like most of the RO's there. They are good to me. Anyway, my last visit I was shooting next to gangbangers. I call them that because of the long t-shirts, exposed underwear, DIY tattoos and they're typically more concerned on how their friends think their shooting "steez" looks than their point of impact. Maybe I'm using the wrong word? As for greenhorns, typically one dude dragging a lady or two into the range, telling the counter person that they've all "shot here before" and proceeding to flag their neighbors within 5 minutes of entering the range. I have had handguns pointed at me with fingers in the trigger guard by these people when they turn around to ask a question. I've also been next to them during a negligent discharge with the handgun aimed cross lane. I've had the roof directly above the neighboring stall and/or light bulb cage shot up many times and then been flagged when the RO calls cease fire. These incidents number in the HUNDREDS and almost always happen after regular work hours and/or during the weekend when the crowds are heavy. The worst of it was after the CT mass shooting when range business surged. The RO's are good but sometimes there's just too much stupid to go around. I used to go during the day too and it was good.. One box every other day, in and out in 10 minutes I've probably shot next to you before. Unfortunately my work hours don't give me that luxury anymore. Since I detect some incredulity in your response I think you ought to check it out yourself during "prime time"

I still shoot there occasionally (i.e. when the weather is bad or it's dark) but the deal breaker for me was when members lost priority on the range queue. What's the point of being a member if I have to wait an hour behind Lakewood gang bangers and greenhorns who will inevitably flag me a few times during my session? In the time I wait in the queue behind them while they fill out all the paperwork I could have shot my single box and already be home watching Walker Texas Ranger reruns.

Interesting question I know in PA that if you have a prohibited person in the house, resident or visitor, firearms cannot be accessible to that person at any time. Which makes it impossible to keep a handgun in the nightstand unfortunately Not sure if your felon meets the criteria to be a prohibited person in PA. Not that it matters in NJ

The WRX is a curious beast as it is AWD but pulling the parking brake does not open the center diff. So things can get pretty interesting pretty fast. Compare to the STI where the electronic center diff uncouples as soon as the brake lever comes up (though some STI models have a bit of mechanical lock during acceleration). The worst I've ever damaged a vehicle using the parking brake I was screaming around behind the Mahwah Crossroads in my Jeep about 15 years ago and I tried to initiate a hairpin turn at speed. Of course forgetting I was in 4WD. The backing plate on one of the rear wheels blew out leaving a mangled mess of steel plate, brake cylinder and drum assembly hanging off the axle housing behind the tire. Never made that mistake again.

I wouldn't do the whole truck unless you're prepared to take everything down to bare metal, apply etch primer and maybe a couple additional coats. Then sand everything down again and apply the bed liner. Otherwise it will rust even faster -- water will find its way between the liner material and metal in places even with good prep work. This also opens up another can of worms of needing to fix existing rust spots first, maybe even cutting sections out and welding new pieces in. The kind of job that takes up 4+ weekends in a row. Also I think that plastic dip stuff has a short life expectancy when exposed to the elements, particularly the finish

My least favourite kind of job -- 99% prep work

Ugh be careful man. Remember everything was under water not too long ago
