Let me ask you this. Shouting down and heckling a woman who just testified that she wants to protect her children A) helps us or B) hurts us.

Did you not see the link to the Red Bank patch? I pulled this off the Local News section from AOL's home page. So basically anyone in the area of zip code 07701 has access to the article.

Because she is witty bitty gurl in a room full of angry gun loving men who just heckled her because she wants to protect her children. Mah childruuuuun! And in 100% hypocritial fashion, after railing against guns being used to protect her children she ran straight to the the first guy in the room with a gun to protect her. It was complete and utter BS, but unfortunately, the hecklers set the stage, and she played the role perfectly.

My wife doesn't disagree, however, we don't need to convince our wives to agree. We need to convince the OTHER wives, who are buying the drama llama, and they are out there. There are plenty of them, who don't think for themselves, and who react emotionally. We need them on our side, and heckling one of their own doesn't help.

It made the news... "Throughout the two-hour hearing, only a few expressed anti-gun opinions. A representative of One Million Moms Against Gun Control made a comment against allowing school personnel to carry guns in school but was heckled by the pro-gun crowd, which prompted an admonishment from the task force's co-chairman, Peter G. Verniero. She left the meeting, accompanied by police escort." http://redbank.patch.com/articles/public-speaks-out-about-gun-rights-mental-health-issues-at-forum-in-brookdale

This is what happens when you heckle a woman... "Throughout the two-hour hearing, only a few expressed anti-gun opinions. A representative of One Million Moms Against Gun Control made a comment against allowing school personnel to carry guns in school but was heckled by the pro-gun crowd, which prompted an admonishment from the task force's co-chairman, Peter G.

He (Vlad) got the most laughs too....cheetah's and hyena's and shit. lol

This is the only gun I'm currently lusting for...a full size Beretta PX4 in 9.

Not apparently Vlad...I saw her ask the Trooper, and he deferred her to a Tinton Falls officer, who escorted her, right after I appologized to her. Did that make the news...the part about her asking for an escort? I haven't seen the report. Is it online?

Got it. What you meant to say was that this woman is NOT from One Million Moms for Gun Control. The site you linked is for a group out of Tupolo, Ms, and so my curiosity is really getting peaked. I checked the link you provided and notice that they are taking credit for events going back to 2010. Whatever or whereever she is from, we don't want to piss her off, and all heckling her does in inflame the situation and likely strengthen her resolve. I was vasilating on whether or not to approacher her to appologize for the groups behavior, and then when I saw her ask a trooper to walk her to her car because she was afraid I knew something needed to be done. It's pure female hysterics, but good Lord, we don't want that directed at us.

Not at all, and thanks for the compliment. Having thought about it over the last few hours I'm convinced I did the right thing. Nobody really knows what took place and by agreeing to the interview I might have drawn attention to the only real negative behavior in that meeeting.

I just googled this and all the results are for the large organization, not some small grass routes deal.

The truth told I was concerned about being ambushed and the last thing any of us need would be for me to say the wrong thing and have it plastered all over Channel 12.

I was at the meeting with Vlad and he's pretty much got this spot on. I actually followed the woman into the hall, introduced myself, and told her that while I disagree with her completely, I was sorry that she was heckled. The reporter from News 12 saw and heard this and followed me back into the meeting and asked if I was willing to be interviewed. I declined. Another notable change is that we were limited to 2 minutes, not 3.

I was too, right up until the time when the lady from One Million Moms was heckled. The one person who had an opposite view was shouted down. I don't see how that behavior helps our cause.

I've written 2 sets of remarks and am not sure, after reading these threads, that I want to present either of them. I'm afraid of doing more harm than good. Crud.

I have to tell you, while I love being a member at CJRPC, you guys at Old Bridge run some pretty cool leagues.

What is PPC?

Yes.

Middletown requires the background check ($18) and application for P2P ($2 each). To the OP, to me that package isn't legal. They are requiring papwerwork beyond what is specified in the statute.

Last year, when I was in the process of purchasing my first pistol, I made a passing comment of "They make you jump through hoops" to a friend. He crinkled up his nose in disgust and replied, "It should be hard." Argh. They should change the name of the P2P to "permission to purchase" rather than permit to purchase. I do take exception, however, this the comment that I quoted. You fit all of the exemtion reasons, and if you disagree with me, please read the statue carefully. All you need is "any other legal reason" and provided you aren't or do not present the risk of a straw man purchase they should approve. I think the OGAM excemption process is something that, like your friend, we (collectively) are intemindated by, and therefor don't regularly pursue. It's not easy being a firearms owner in NJ.

The bottom line is that it takes practice practice practice. When we go to the range, we go with a game plan of predetermined drills, Targets are set up at 7 yards...USPSA with a 25 yard repair center in the middle. The first thing we do is dry fire. Then we start with 5 rounds, slow fire. If any are outside the black, the gun gets cleared and we commence 5 dry fires. Then another drill. If any shots are outside the black, the gun gets cleared and we and dry fire. It's not inconceivable that we'll dry fire as many or more times than actual shots down range. We rattled off 10 or 15 earlier tonight. Dry fire is your friend.

Ain't that the truth! That was an excellent article, by the way. I saved it for future reference.

I don't know that I agree with that premise. You seek to not flinch when the gun fires, or in anticipation of the discharge. So becoming more comfortable with the timeing of the discharge will help you avoid the "surprise" when the gun goes off. I don't quite no how else to articulate my view. I don't want to be surprised when the gun goes off. I want be prepared. I want to know exactly when, so that I am prepared, and so that I know not to flinch...that I've practiced so much that I instinctively won't flinch, or snatch the trigger. I want to be purpose full in my trigger control. I don't want to be surprised.

I watched this live...excellent.
