I wouldn't say Rats. We're more like the first class passengers trying to get to the lifeboats, being blocked by the crew as the steerage crowds the rails... But yes, the Titanic is still sinking.

This isn't legislating, it's campaigning. They know damn well this bill will go nowhere and even if it did it would be overturned in the courts. Even the 9th circus would find it hard to uphold this piece of garbage.

Congrats! I hope to be about 6 months behind you...

If you want US made look at Detroit Denim. You get what you pay for.

Just to keep this thread-that-won't-die alive, now Pork Roll has it's own sports team... http://www.nj.com/mercer/index.ssf/2018/01/trenton_thunder_announces_on_fridays_were_the_pork.html#incart_river_home

Murphy will be desperate to keep at least one of his campaign promises, since most of what he ran on will be unaffordable. My fear is he'll focus on "common sense gun laws" to distract the sheep from the rest of the cluster**** this state has become. After that, it's the courts that will decide what stays or goes. Or Sweeney.

Anybody go to Island Dragway in Great Meadows? I was going a couple years back when they had the Wednesday night BBQ test and tunes. I'd get 5 or 6 runs, some mediocre chicken or burgers & dogs, for $15 I think. The place still looks like it did when I went back in the '80s though.

Haven't seen this mentioned here yet, but there is a video on Fox News with Sweeney talking about NJ tax policy. I hate to admit it but he actually sounds reasonable - even mentioning the problem in NJ is a spending issue, not a revenue issue. Yes, it may all be posturing so when Murphy crashes and burns Sweeney comes out smelling like a rose, but he certainly didn't sound like someone who would be pushing for everything Murphy wanted. http://video.foxnews.com/v/5714633708001/ Just how bad has this state gotten that Sweeney is sounding reasonable? My concern now will be the Dems needing to find some issue to push so they appear to be doing something - and whatever they do will need to play to their base. Gun laws fit that criteria...

I know, but we have family around Boston and want to be close enough to them without being in Mass, and want civilization. Don't want to be in Nashu itself, but have seen Wyndam and Hollis neighborhoods that we like. It is what it is. No "perfect" place but IMO certainly better than what NJ has in store for the next 4-8-12 years.

I'll be looking later this year - have already been looking at houses and property - but not in PA. We're headed north as soon as we find the right place after my daughter's wedding is done in May. Looking in the NH - Nashua, Wyndham area.

What about McHale's Navy? Hell, it could be a documentary about the Pacific Fleet operations lately... And what about the "Avengers"? Don't we already have half the cast here?

Rockford Files

How about "All in the Family" and the "Jeffersons" - just to watch the liberal heads explode...

Ummmm, hoping someone gets punished for an idiotic law just because you couldn't get away with it too? We're not in third grade any more. Hoping this woman gets jammed up with a felony conviction accomplishes absolutely nothing. How about we hope shen gets treated fairly because it's the right thing to do? This should be advertised everywhere CCW is a common everyday thing. Maybe that will help with national reciprocity, because NJ laws won't be changed from within. Make her the poster child for who carries outside NJ - you know, teachers, grandmothers, utility linemen, plumbers - everyday folks that aren't a threat to anyone except the "bad guys". There should be a map of the states where people have been jammed up in NJ, sending it to every rep from those states to support national reciprocity.

Of all the .45 ACP handguns I've owned and/or shot, the softest feeling one was the Ruger SR45. I don't know why, but the felt recoil was very light compared to everything else I have. Frankly, I found it boring to shoot compared to everything else so I sold it.

Merry Christmas all!

My 220 IS THE DA/SA version. I have a 226 Legion SA. I also have the 229 Legion DA/SA. Frankly, when range shooting the DA/SA trigger on my 229 and 220 feels better than the trigger on the 226 SAO.

I have the sig p220 legion. To me, the legion series is worth the extra cost when you consider everything that cones with it.

Let Murphy fight it in the courts. Should be interesting to see what constitutional argument he has the state AG make against the rights of the fed to determine fed taxes. What's he gonna say? How dare the feds limit SALT deduction to only $10k. Guess what the limit is for NJ prop tax on NJ taxes? Yup - $10k. This is all just Murphy playing to his base. He has to do something since he stands a snowballs chance in hell of keeping any of his campaign promises.

Being the skeptic I normally am, in this case I have to believe in the old saying that goes something like "Perfect is the enemy of Good". This bill is a big step forward IMO and I don't understand why anyone who supports CCW would oppose it. Is it perfect? Of course not - name one thing in gov't that is. Is it a step in the right direction? Absolutely. Any potential problem hidden in the fix-NICS pieces can be addressed, but to not recognize the benefits nationally with this bill seems short-sighted. And to vote "No" because the bill isn't perfect seems to be DC-speak for "I didn't really support it but need to find an excuse so I don't piss of the voters". Will this help NJ? Depends on the final bill if it ever gets that far. Maybe, maybe not. About the only way it can hurt is if states stop issuing non-resident licenses since they might be unnecessary (in most cases). Face it - NJ will need to be beaten into submission before we can carry here. IMO the only chance we have will come at the federal level, either the courts or through legislation like this (but will still get dragged through the courts). NJ has long known the state's justifiable need laws are a problem, no surprise, but no Dem politician is going to vote to change that - too much down side with the voters. Change will only come from the feds or courts. The pols know it. Why else do they do everything possible to prevent a 2A case from being ruled on by the NJSC?

If you looked up "Cool" on Wikipedia it would have a pic of that car...

No porch grinch, but I really wish UPS and USPS would stop delivering my packages to the neighbors...

Congrats!
