Not all teens smoke weed or get into fights. And no 17-year-old can get a handgun legally (if it was a real gun).

Hey guys, almost 200 days here. Calling again next week - if I muster up the courage, I'll drop the phrase "I might speak to my lawyer about this". IDK if they'll fall for it though, as I'm just a 20-year-old.

I say just wait. Hell, if the next-gen consoles start out as a flop (as 360 did back during the Red-Ring of Death), you can always buy a used 360 or PS3 for waaaaaaaay cheaper.

Is that a silk terrier? I believe these dogs were bred to kill rattlesnakes! My neighbor has one, albeit doesn't take care of her very well. I heard a scuffle a few nights ago in their yard - the dog was running and barking, and another rodent was screeching for its life. I believe the terrier mauled the rodent, hahahaha.

OR, I have a better idea!!!!! We could remove the tax on gasoline, and EVERY OTHER GOOD WE PURCHASE! 'Cause, you know, free-market capitalism works darn well?

Hmm, Alstede farms isn't too far from me... I'll check them out. And Johnny, you're right. Berries tend to have a little more bang for your buck, sugar-wise. Do you just have a bunch of trees and bushes in your backyard that blossom with berries?

So I take it that we can talk about whatever the eff we want in the Bucket. Does anyone here buy their produce locally? I'm a health buff, and I've been looking for fruits with insane amounts of vitamin c. I'm avoiding regular ol' supplementation because our bodies excrete most of it out, and I'm avoiding eating crap tons of regular fruit because of the large amount of sugar that would come with it. Anyway, I'm curious if there are any local sources that might fill my needs. In particular, I believe acerola cherries, sea-buckthorn, rose hips, and black currants can grow in our climate. My guess is that someone in or near NJ might be growing one of these fruits. Any thoughts, guys?

Also, on another note.. I'm studying to become a strength coach. A lot of what I've read/studied/watched/listened to claims that we, as modern-day humans, have to much mobility in our low-backs and our necks, and not enough mobility in our upper-backs, hips, and knees. Movement in our low-backs (such as bending over to pick up a box) should be substituted with: 1. rigidness in the lower-back, and 2. movement in the hips and knees. Looking at our anatomy, we've got these MASSIVE muscles controlling our knees (our quads and hammies) and more MASSIVE muscles controlling our hips (our glutes, hip flexors, and hammies). In turn, we've got these long, thin muscles controlling our spines, that are optimized for endurance, not strength. Research shows that these core muscles are used best when they act isometrically. Basically, staying rigid and not producing movement. That takes a bit of endurance. Sorry for the rant. Just felt like that'd be useful knowledge to you.

Some chiros are quacky, but some are legit and I would consider them "sports doctors". Look for ones that work with athletes and other members of the medical field. I went to APRCNJ in Short Hills/Milburn. The head chiro there is the team chiropractor for the New York Jets and the New York Redbulls. Pretty effing legit to me. Also, if you've got one long weekend to read a book, check out "Ultimate Back Fitness" by Dr. Stuart McGill. He's the spine-biomechanics professor at the University of Waterloo. His research and findings have really revolutionized the way strength-and-conditioning coaches rehab their athletes. I hurt my sacrolumbar region of my back (either a bulging disk or SI-joint pain, I'm not sure), and the methods in this book have helped me BIG TIME.

You know what Norcross reminds me of? This donkey is Norcross. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqs9DYisSsg

A few years back, my wallet fell out of my pocket in the movie-theater. I went back a few hours later, nothing was turned up or found, even when I searched the seats myself. I had 20 bucks, my DL, and my GF's picture in it. The most stressful part was getting another copy of my DL afterwards.

I'm assuming everyone was crapping their pants because they thought OP did an illegal transfer with his buddy?

This just made me spit my tea hahahahahahaha

Steve at Monmouth Arms in Morganville/Marlboro is awesome, and has one of the cheapest transfer rates in the state.

As someone who's still waiting on his FID to be signed off (it's been sitting on my chief's desk for the past 2 months), if these laws are signed and brought into effect, am I screwed???

I just sent this email. Dear Esteemed Public Servant of New Jersey, I am sending this email in regards to concerns pertaining to one of this state’s senators. I would first like to state that statute 18 USC § 241 states that it is a crime to conspire in order to deprive American citizens of their constitutional rights. On May 9th, 2013, at the end of senate budget committee hearing, Senator Loretta Weinberg (D-37) is caught saying “we needed a bill that was going to CONFISCATE, CONFISCATE, CONFISCATE (firearms)”. This is an audio-clip of Loretta Weinberg (D-37), Sandra Cunningham (D-31), and Linda Greenstein (D-14) discussing confiscation - Confiscation of lawfully-obtained firearms owned by law-abiding citizens is a DIRECT VIOLATION of the 2nd amendment. I would like to see some accountability, as well as action, for the thoughts expressed at the senate hearing. Federal crimes are not to be taken lightly. Sincerely,

This kid is excellent. He's got a lot of balls, but he's 100% completely right. He really stuck it to that teacher. We should be proud of him, as this countyr's educational system has gone to crap - "busy" work, standardized tests, and collecting paychecks. EDIT: You all should watch the video of him being interviewed by the local news. He's alright.

Hey bhunted, nothing wrong with whole eggs. There's little proof that saturated fat and cholesterol actually increases blood cholesterol, or increases risk of heart disease (and high cholesterol is actually a shoddy marker of heart disease risk). Cholesterol is the basis of all hormones (testosterone...?). Saturated fat intake also helps bring up testosterone. There's also something to be said about fat-consumption and satiety. I forget how that exactly works... Besides, all of the nutrients are in the yolk. The whole "low-fat" schtick was non-sense back in the day. Your daily meals still look awesome however.

You can check GunBroker, and send one to a shop in PA, go on the weekend, and get the gun the same day. That's what I'm doing once my FID is in.

gleninjersey, I say just go straight to the mayor. Bring up statute 2C:58-3(f), which is the "30-day" rule.

Guys, I got the Kershaw Chill! This thing seems PERFECT for a light-use, discrete EDC. I certainly won't be whittling wood or skinning animals with it, but for my uses, it's perfect. It's one damn nice knife for being a $18 Chinese-made knife.

Done.

VA or PA, nice... Get some NFA firearms while you're there too. How's a sawn-off shotgun sound? ;-)

I'm gonna still call them, even if it pisses them off. I'm attempting to meet with my district's senator. I was originally doing it to discuss gun control with him as he's been fairly neutral thus-far, but I think I'll need to take advantage of my visit with him. I already talked to my city councilman, my mayor.. this is getting tiring. I want my effing FID so I can get a firearm before the laws change, the FID system is revamped, and my application is trashed.

Please don't come here. PLEASE. We're begging you, just stay in PA or Delaware.
