I don't plan to shoot anyone. Let me get that out there. I don't WANT TO EVER SHOOT ANYONE. I value human life quite a lot. But being prepared to defend yourself is reasonable. An absolute last resort. That's why we prepare. We also want to make sure that we don't injure our families if we ever (god forbid) have to defend ourselves. That's why we train, that's why we use defensive ammo and frangible ammo.

She does? She got charged in 1996 with illegal possession and a marijuana charge... and she still got a carry permit? meanwhile me with my squeaky clean background (okay TWO traffic tickets, including one minor moving violation. That don't count right?) can't get one. Hmm.

Selective law enforcement as usual (not rank and file LEOs to blame).

Me too. Maybe we can organize a NJGF/NJ2AS bus tour!!! I think the NRA basic pistol counts for 8 hours though but that is to be hashed out I think? I took that just in case (plus I wanted a CT permit since I go there and I'm friends with the CCDL guys).

Nappen said the best thing he did was move to NH. It's more than just gun laws. It's the whole quality of life and his family is better off.

But anyway I will talk about a story. Some robbers tried to hold up his hardware store with machetes. Yes, stupid. My uncle had his licensed 9mm pistol with him. They came in and pretended to be looking at stuff. One came up with the machete and tried to hold him up. He drew and fired. He had plenty of practice plus he used to dry fire a lot but with a cordless drill. One bullet grazed an attacker because they fled as soon as they saw the gun. Not sure whether cops caught up with them but they never were robbed again as far as I know. They also have big dogs guarding the place when it's closed (they live there). Don't worry, my uncle is deceased (natural causes, probably heart disease) and this is in a foreign country, so it's safe to tell. Oh and I think it was in the papers too.

NOBODY is going to talk about it. It's going to be traumatic for sure. The best way to find out is actual court cases but I don't know of any (although I am sure there are some).

Is this the suburban white woman that mcbethr is talking about who gets attacked that will lead the charge for ccw?

++this But I bet that she would not have had "justifiable need" to carry.

The new dish is different. If you are using older receivers without SWiM it won't work with the new dish. They will likely want to swap your old receivers with new ones.

Home carry. A HD pistol is no good in a safe. At night keep a pistol box by the bed...

Well in that case you have to wait for a tech. They aren't servicing legacy equipment anymore unfortunately. So what you'll have is a full blown install with a new dish, SWiM and new SWiM compatible receivers that can get all the new satellites. They are backed up the wazoo so unfortunately you will have to wait.

Today is the day, as in the court's deadline for making changes to the carry laws in Illinois. ISP is of course saying it's illegal to carry, we will arrest you blah blah but several counties already have been saying they won't prosecute. Congrats Illinois! When they do shake it out I might shell out the 300 clams just to give a big FU to the antis.

What's wrong with your setup? DirecTV is using contractors these days. They sent a guy who hardly spoke any English and who drove a beat up mini van. I had to direct him constantly so he wouldn't butcher up my house.

In my case I want the system to run better and save energy/money.

I only changed the filter last year after we had owned the house like 5 years. I should have figured when the filters were being sucked up in the return vent. It was coated with dust bunnies. I even think our electric bill went down a few bucks afterwards, LOL That reminds me, the filter is due for a change.

Kinda figured so. Kudos on your agency setting an example.

I had a screwdriver on the back of my car once (2004 Accord). Best comment I got was, "What do you use that antenna for? To talk to God?" (No sir, I go to church to do that!)

Also anyone who has taken the Utah class at GFH - Charlie does a funny impression of how not to check a firearm... "Best way is to say, I have an unloaded firearm I would like to check. Don't go up and say, I HAVE A GUN!!!"

I LOVE that airport. Best kept secret in the NE.

The only things that will reform CCW/possession are a massive upheaval legislatively, meaning even the big cities flip. Not gonna happen. OR a court order like Illinois or SCOTUS ruling on it. Probably not going to happen either but more likely than the former.

I think most of us know that there are cops that take the duty and oath seriously. Thank you and others that do.

I'm confused. Does being an LEO exempt you from this law?

So based on that I don't need one for my $48k minivan. Cool.
