Arizona Tragedy
Lest we never forget, this hobby of ours is a lot different than collecting stamps.

Some towns are great
I had to read this one a couple times to let it soak in. What exactly does officer safety imply? That kind of rationale I feel is already labeling you as now a danger to officers in their mind. I would have probably requested a convo with the chief then. "What exactly did you need my picture for?" I get it you think it's harmless than other forms. But I don't like their rationale. Would want more intel. Of all the stories of all the extra hoops to jump through. This one smells the shadiest.

Training an "experienced" gun owner
Finger in the trigger guard. And you point it out to them and they say "no I didn't" "Yes your finger was on the trigger when you racked the slide. " "No it wasn't. " It always goes like that.

Help me buy my first shotgun
If the Ferrari tank analogy is based on weight alone, pretty much any serious clay enthusiast will say you are dead wrong. Sprorting guns are DESIGNED heavier to absorb recoil better. hunting guns are lighter because you are walking in the woods with them. ...just saying...

NRA life membership $495
Or think about it this way.. really really think about it.. the NRA can make its influence felt at the NATIONAL level much more than at the local level. Just think about how we almost had another assault weapon ban at the FEDERAL level after Sandy Hook. I'm fully believing that the NRA was entrenched behind the scenes and making their muscle felt in Washington.. HOWEVER, at the NJ local level, our arcane NJ laws, at the local level, are controlled by one thing and one thing only. The VOTEs. the votes. the votes. the votes. The NRA can't throw hundreds of thousands of dollar at NJ LOCAL laws if we can't even vote the right people in. Its that simple. NRA would never put NJ on the cover of its magazine because we can't even help ourselves. So I think about my NRA money making a difference in WASHINGTON. But NJ? we have to help ourselves. (and if anybody reading this post didn't vote in past elections.. or doesn't have November's elections circled on your calendar already.. shame shame on you..)

Magpul fixed carbine stock
this is a sick deal.. these were like $49 or $44 when they came out.. very happy to see (well unhappy because I bought too early). But very happy to see Magpul lowering prices on stuff.

NRA life membership $495
If I recall an NRA member DID show up at both of NJs latest votes and spoke rationally and convincgly to oppose the bills. But of course in this state that's impossible. I'd rather get angry at our own voting population than get angry at the NRA.

Helmetta PD story on NJ.com
How was his turn around time on P2Ps? If he was very fast, someone on this board will be pissed. Ha!

Voluntary Registration Of Firearms
This contradicts what has been said often on this board that Randolph is one of the most accommodating P2P towns around. Very fast very sympathetic.

Was told the truth "I get to it when I get to it"
I hate to say answer a threat with a threat but like it was said above your already in the crapper. Next time you talk to him ask him about how what grounds he would deny you for asking for mutiple permits since that's not the law? "What would you do make up something false on my application?" And then see what he says. Or you could even get real nasty and say "I'm recording this conversation... Tell me again why I can't apply for three?" I cringe when i have to move and go to a bad town someday.

Can anyone ID these teeth - my dog found them
99% of us would have some shitty iPhone picture up. Howard has the perfect background and perfect lighting. I think I want him to photo my AR for the pics section.

$15k O/Us vs $230 870s
We will settle this after the first guy on here reporrs back after 3,000 rounds down their Mossberg 500. That's right I said three thousand. Play golf 12 times in a year? That many weekends of trap shooting is 3,000 rounds down the pipe.

NJ ABSENTEE BALLOT & VOTER REGISTRATION
In other words this is VOTE BY MAilL. It's so easy I can't stand it. First click your county. You print out that form. Check the box for "send me a November ballot". You fold up the paper and mail it in A couple of weeks before the election you will get a ballot. It's great, you can take your time and better yet you get to read all those proposals local to your own town. You sign and fold up that one and mail it in. Done deal. Easy Peazy. It will cost you two stamps. If that is too much money for you PM me and I will reimburse you.

Magazine limit at 15 rounds
If the responses I've gotten in the past month to various posts I've tried starting here trying to get people to vote in primaries, discussion of the Dem primary candidates, or my "spoonfed election info here", if that that is a barometer of voter sentiment then not only do gun owners not care, I will even venture NJGF-ers turnout is poor too. Exhibit A would also be when someone posts "who should I vote for?" (Stop surfing gun sites and start googling candidate platforms) or if someone posts "hey i just read that this magazine bill passed..." *facepalm* Sorry to say, but count me in that we don't help ourselves. I'm gonna try again a spoonfed "IF YOU LIVE IN THESE TOWNS CLICK HERE" to get more focus on Blue encumbent candidates for November. I'm almost to the point where I would give cash money to get voter responses but I think that's illegal so I won't go there. My encumbent is red so all I can do is focus on House for people in other Jurisdictions (if booker is a forgone conclusion). (If anybody reading this doesn't know what "my encumbent is red" means you can PM me and I'll explain politics to you in private)

$15k O/Us vs $230 870s
Does a $125k Ferrari get you to the office faster than a Camry? No it does not but maybe the guy really enjoys taking the turns on rails. If you were asking the question does a $5,000 O/U perform better than $500 shotgun you'd have to ask yourself do you care about recoil shooting probably 200 rounds in a day? If you're shooting pairs maybe double that. Let's say you did that each weekend. Now you're easily 600 rounds in a month. Two three months later you're at 1,500 rounds down the pipe. How is that Moss 500 holding up after 1,500 rounds? The expensive O/Us are designed for the marathon, not just the score. So if all that matters to you is the destination then get the Camry, some guys like to enjoy the drive. (Would I ever spend $5k on a shotgun? Never, But I would never judge someone for theirs)

Picked up an M&P 9mm
Are these harder material plates so they can withstand magazine drops too or just same material as factory mag?

My Rant of the day on mag limits bill A2006/S993
This guy is gonna make waves. He doesn't care to be a target. He is a lawyer, and he grew up around guns. He knows the lingo. Our only hope is his idea of "reasonable laws" is about background checks and not hardware. But he has already gone on record saying semi autos have no place in civilian hands. Let me say for the 50th time we need to focus on November elections.
