Taking a handgun to the Poconos camping.
Any permit from any state is good for vehicle carry. When you're on foot, open carry outside of Philly doesn't require a permit.

Well you can tell the police that story and jump through hoops by going to a range but there's no need to. You are covered under federal law. As long as you are legal to possess in your start and end of your journey and do not stop in NJ you are good.

Man shoots self in head, dies at NRA-sponsored NASCAR race
Yeah I agree with Duppie. If it was just him, have at it. But this is going to provide some much needed fodder for the antis.

CFL's really work?
The state subsidizes them as part of the clean energy program. I bought the outdoor PAR38 lights for outside of the garage from Costco. Much better than the CFLs I had up there. During the winter I can turn on the lights and get full brightness instantly. Home Depot has A19 Philips LED bulbs for $15 and $10, 60w and 40w equivalent respectively.

I was referring to dimmable CFLs. They do not dim like incandescents. They can dim down to about 60% brightness, that's it. Beyond that they flicker or go out completely. You also have to let them warm up before you can dim properly and you have to dim slowly. Go too fast and the bulbs flicker/go out. You also have to start them out at full brightness then dim down. Can't fade in. They also don't work well with electronic dimmers such as the Lutron Maestro. I have tried four different types of dimmable CFLs. I returned all except one, which is the PureSpectrum brand of CFLs. They still don't dim as well as incandescents but they work. "Issues" is an understatement. non-dimmable CFLs on dimmers have been responsible for house fires. Modern triac based dimmers weren't designed for inductive loads and the rapid on/off switching can cause the ballast to overheat and possibly catch fire.

If you want to dim, don't use CFLs. Every one I've tried never seemed to work right. So I just kept incandescents on the dimmers.

Just take them to home depot or your local recycling center. Even Ikea takes them. Our co-op takes them. No big deal... Yes, if you break one mercury vapor escapes into the air. Get out of the room, open the windows and you will be fine. Many houses have thermostats and thermometers with much more mercury in them.

CFL's really work?
I have mostly CFLs and a few LEDs in the house, and a few incandescents. They use about 1/10th the energy. If you use a lot of light you will save. Some of the cheaper ones aren't so good. I have had a few DOA and a few burn out after a month or so. Most have been fine, some since 2001 or so. The light quality isn't too bad. I've gotten accustomed to it. LEDs are more like incandescents. What I do like is that I can run lights as normal during a power outage with the generator. I don't have to worry about managing loads. What I don't like is that they don't work well in low temperatures. For this reason I put LEDs outside because they go to full brightness immediately.

just read something in another forum
Do you mean like Muller ? We know how that turned out. Denied. Appealed, and only when it was made into a federal lawsuit did they issue his permit. I wonder if they'll renew it.

What would this mean to CCW in NJ
Or they could just ignore the law like NYC does with FOPA.

Dick's won't sell field boxes without answering questions about citizenship
Show me where in the constitution that unemployment, welfare and healthcare are rights that shall not be infringed. Unemployment compensation is insurance. Noncitizens (green card or not) can collect. I collected unemployment a total of one time and I don't think I was asked if I was a citizen or not.

Sweeney an NJ Sen intro 12 bills (no mag limit or online ammo ban)
I could believe that they would do away with the paper permits and make the permits in a computer. So every time you want any kind of gun, you grovel to your local PD and say, "mommy may I?" and when they allow you to exercise your constitutional right, you swipe your card at the dealer and they record your purchase. We'll still have OGAM. The new stuff seems like they'll extend it to ammo purchases as well.

Sweeney an NJ Sen intro 12 bills (no mag limit or online ammo ban)
Who else??? The poor in the inner cities and the rich liberals in suburbia. I am frankly quite stunned that we are not worse than Illinois.

OK I'll bite on this. What if it were a carry permit? Why are people worried about this but not a photo on a carry permit? Personally I am in the "not another inch" camp but I think we all agree that they won't walk away without passing anything.

How Do ya Like This Rig...?
No vehicle carry I'd imagine unless it was closed and securely fastened. Doesn't have to be unloaded.

any guys with CT ccw
When did that happen? I thought it was like $70 initial, 35 renewal.

any guys with CT ccw
They are not like NJ needing justifiable need or anything.

Antonin Scalia says gun control is heading to Supreme Court
You mean the recommended videos? Yeah, naturally since the subject is guns/gun control that will be one of the related videos. It's dynamically generated.

xbox 360 repair anyone? rrod
Most of the RRODs are due to the solder balls below the chips working loose/cold. A well placed heat gun should fix it. http://www.instructables.com/id/Comprehensive-Xbox-360-RROD-guide/#step1

non resident VA no longer recognized in PA
She has no incentive to. She is targeting PA residents who can't get a permit in PA so they go to FL (or VA or AZ). Utah modified its permitting system so that it only issues to PA residents who have a PA CCP already. Therefore Utah closed the loophole already.
