Christie Campaign possible opportunity
I told them pass a CCW bill or I'm voting Democrat, because honestly what's the difference. The only 2A stuff Christie has done is approve the bear hunt, and last I checked the constitution talks about the right to bear arms not shoot bears. I got a letter last week asking me for money. Snowball's chance in hell but I'm glad I got it off my chest and I'm happy.

Keep an eye on your local elected officials
I think it's unlikely we'll have anything anti-gun out here but you never know. I only wish that CCW permits were handled more locally instead of at the superior court in Morris County. They'd be more sympathetic up here I think.

NYS CCW, visiting NJ carry question
Yep. They say residence. They don't say primary residence. They also have a specific exemption for moving.

Feedback From Governor Christie
Yeah I don't have a good feeling about this. But the good news is that Christie has a track record of appeasing fudds, namely the bear hunt. Doesn't mean we're guaranteed to escape unscathed but it does mean we're not dealing with a hard leftist and committed anti like Cuomo. That said don't take things for granted...

Barbara Buono vows to take on Gun Lobbyists
Yep!!! She's an anti to the bone. Christie at least is sympathetic to the fudds.

NYS CCW, visiting NJ carry question
My opinion, yes! If you own two homes or have two homes leased/rented you can transport your firearms directly between both of them. You can also transport it directly to/from your place of business.

ammo + fire = deadly???
I don't think it would be shooting bullets all over the place. When a cartridge is inside the barrel it is actually a really tight fit so that the expanding gases would push the projectile forward with as much velocity as possible. If it just explodes in the open air the projectile won't go very far with much velocity.

And from what it seems (as some have been saying) she singled out Florida to make a headline - saying that she closed down the "Florida loophole." The sheeple will then shout and cheer that they "took guns off the streets." Idiots.

Anyone use AT&T for a cell provider?
I have had AT&T throughout several periods including the old AT&T (blue AT&T, pre-cingular). I switched to Verizon and then switched back to AT&T in 2010 to take advantage of my company's 21% FAN discount. First, they were awful. Really, really awful. In NYC I couldn't use data on my iPhone at all. In some parts of North Jersey same thing. Dropped calls? Sometimes. But all sorts of weird things like recorded messages when I attempt a call and just really long times to complete calls. I must have submitted a billion reports via the "mark the spot" app. Towards the tail end of when I switched back to Verizon (last year with the iPhone 5 launch) they were much better than when I first had them. But when I switched back to Verizon, Verizon was also much better than I remember. AT&T is good with price. Verizon is awful with these new expensive shared data plans. I don't need unlimited minutes and I don't need unlimited text. I need at most 100 minutes a month and unlimited data. They don't offer that. Verizon is getting aggressive with their LTE rollout which is leaps and bounds beyond AT&T. In fact they just lit up LTE here in Sussex/Wantage. They want to have the whole country covered by LTE the end of this year but they claim they will be done by June.

How do you store ammo? Safe/Cabinet?
Locked ammo can. That way I can just pick up and go when I want to go to the range. The most harm that someone like a kid can do with ammo without a gun really is just carrying it to school or something, where you'll get a knock on your door from the detective for sure...
-
Are conceal carry permits gun specific?
NV also requires it. In fact they require that you live fire at a facility in the state. Whatever you do, don't do it through LVPD. You will be waiting a while.

Apple TV
The Linksys line was sold by Cisco to Belkin. I'm glad I stopped buying most Linksys products since about 2006 or so. For consumer gear, the Apple AirPort routers aren't bad at all. Netgear and D-link also make some decent ones. I would stay away from most everything else unless you do like me and roll your own and use wireless access points for the wireless portion.

I believe it came out with Lion.

one pistol per month .... but what about long guns?
Yep you can buy a dozen AR-15s (that don't say AR-15) yet you can't buy one .22 single action revolver without a permit and you can only buy one a month with one permit for each. Those are our sensible gun laws.

The older ones were 720p. Newer ones 1080p.

No you don't, you can do it with a Mac too. I believe you can also do it with an iPod touch.

New Hampshire non-resident permit questions
Problem with UT is that you need to take their class which is more $$ in addition to the permit fees. So even if you have NRA basic or another course you need to take the UT specific course. I think I'll still do it but it really sucks to have to shell out more. And then there's no guarantee they'll keep the reciprocity for non-residents.

Apple TV
So this is kind of what I do for a living. No really, I'm not just into IT. I work for a large media company that does streaming for these devices and help develop and maintain these services. Whoever said that Apple TV is a conduit for iTunes is correct. Apple allows only its own content as well as that for a few selected partners. It's actually pretty limited. It's the most convenient way to get iTunes content on your TV though. Can't do it otherwise unless you attach your iPhone, iPad or Mac/PC to your TV with a HDMI cable. You can also do AirPlay mirroring with your iPhone/iPad/Mac. This means whatever you see on your screen will be on your TV if you want. No additional connection other than wifi needed. I would have really loved for them to open up the Apple TV to third party developers like they did with the rest of the iOS ecosystem. I'd even write an app or two myself... but they won't. There are always rumors that Apple will be going into the TV business and selling cable TV over the internet but I don't think that the networks would sign on to that. You'll likely never see Amazon video content on Apple TV. They're arch rivals at this point. You can do Netflix though. Roku will get you a ton of stuff. By far it is the most versatile. Some of them even do angry birds (the game) on TV. But other than that, got a game console? Blu-ray player? Smart TV? I have all of the above. They pretty much stream the most popular services. XBOX wants you to shell out for a live gold sub before you can stream. That's $50/year? No thanks. Yes, all of them need internet. But without cable TV you're saving $50 - $60/month. I have DIRECTV and internet from the cable company. I still come out ahead.

How many here stopped shopping at Dicks
I prefer to support the local guys anyway like Simon Peter, Skylands, Luciano's. Never bought from Dick's, never will.

LaRue tactical limits LE sales to same as civilian
http://www.firearmsp...lian-standards/ That takes some stones. First of all it's about to get worse in CA than it is in NY. With the legislature packed with democrats it's pretty much a certainty that quite a bit will pass. Everything from outlawing detachable magazines to mandatory insurance for gun owners is in the pipeline. So in response, LaRue tactical, a small manufacturer in Texas decides that all sales to LE departments (excluding federal and the military) will be to the same standards that civilians are held to. For example, the same mag limits and feature prohibitions. That's sure to whizz some people off, and the comments on FPC's facebook posting and LaRue's facebook are already drawing some nasty responses.
