Where has all the .380 gone?
Do you like the Bodyguard? I was thinking about one but really hated the long double action trigger pull

SCOTUS: Court denies gun rights cases 02/24/14
Won't they have to hear an appeal of the 9th district as don't we now have Federal district rules at odds with one another? If that is the case I don't believe they can opt out.

EVERYONE Please invest 32 seconds!!!!
Please call the number below and just say "I would like to go on record in opposition of reducing gun magazine capacity" That is all you need to say. They are not taking names, just collecting a tally of those for and against. Thanks. Senate Majority Steven "lying sack of shit" Sweeney 's Office (609-847-3700).

You guys believe these stats??
I guess he never heard of things like IDPA, USPSA or other competitive shooting events where handguns are used for sport. I assume he is saying the millions of police officers use their side arms routinely for killing - I would argue they are there more for the intimidation factor (as are the dark glasses). I guess he never heard that it is people with guns that keep the government from taking away his first amendment rights to say stupid things like that either.

Laserlyte 9mm cartridge
Yes it puts that target on the screen, but I don't think it is seeing anything from the camera. If I shoot at the target where the camera is aimed there is no feedback.

Laserlyte 9mm cartridge
Has anyone gotten this program to work. I installed it but while my webcam sees the target in its software when I turn on this software all I see is a blue screen inside the box where I assume the target should show up. Running Win7x64.

First time IDPA shoot
That is how it is done at Somerset, other clubs have their own unique procedures.

First time IDPA shoot
It depends on the match. Some you or others on the squad pick it up while the targets are scored, others it all gets thrown in a bucket and you sort it out after the match and in others it just sits there. Each club handles it differently.

First time IDPA shoot
I don't think you came in last. When you add in the 50 seconds it took me to clear the round that totally jammed and locked up my gun so that I could not even pull out the magazine I am fairly certain that put me in dead last. Glad you had a good time.

"Reasonable deviations" to be clarified in exchange for 10 rounds
Sweeney is a lying sack of shit. During the hearing in Trenton last year he shook my hand and promised me that he would never vote to reduce magazine size from 15 rounds as it would do nothing to reduce crime or violence. Douche bag.

Car windshield replacement shop
That, plus its a good idea to look at insurance costs and adjust where it makes sense to not have such high deductibles for comprehensive and glass. I did that analysis and it was much cheaper to pay just a few bucks more each six months and get this stuff for free. Even if you don't drop it to zero explore making it something like $100, you would be surprised that it may not be that costly to do this.
-
Car windshield replacement shop
I use whoever StateFarm suggests as if they were not good they would not be on their approved list. I carry zero deductible on glass, so I could care less what the cost is. I just have them come to where the car is when it is convenient, don't even have to be there. My wife left her car at a train station one day with a cracked windshield and when she got home that night it had been fixed.

NJ only issued 1195 CCW permits
What I am saying is that in a normal state the ratio is a valid tool to analyze things. In NJ most don't bother to apply because the downside in almost certain denial is not worth the tiny likelihood of being successful. Yes I agree it does not help our cause because the ratio you are looking for is undoubtedly artificially high. But that is the reality of the situation. Its sort of like a person does not worry about speeding too much when the road is crowded and everybody is speeding, but you have to be foolish driving in the left lane at 85 mph when almost nobody else is on the road - you might get away with it, but you are just making yourself a target. The better number to get hold of - if possible, is how many that are business owners, or have been threatened or have taken out restraining orders have been granted permits versus the number that have been denied. IF you can show many with "justifiable need" have been denied that should be good enough to show the law is BS.
-
NJ only issued 1195 CCW permits
Well if this was a free state then that ratio would be of interest and of value. It is neither in New Germany. Most don't apply because they know they will not be granted one and then will always have to check the box that they have been denied a permit in the past. Knowing there is almost no chance to get one you have to be foolish to apply and then have a black mark on your record because of it.

Ice Dam help
The next time you have to replace a roof have a 3 to 6 foot rubber membrane installed on the leading edge of the roof. This is what the scene is in my area:

I know of one, he too has some money and has a family member in politics.

NJ only issued 1195 CCW permits
Exactly, that is what I was talking about. I don't know the exact numbers, but when you factoring in all the little towns that have police forces, state police, corrections officers, FBI, and other LEO's that carry guns in NJ I would think there are more than 1,000 that retire every year. I would bet the vast majority of them do what is required to keep their rights to carry. According to this "reliable source" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_municipalities_in_New_Jersey NJ has 565 municipalities. If only 2 people retire from each every year that is more than what is being claimed as the total permits. Something just does not seem to ring true with this number. I might believe that 1100+ number is the number of average citizens only.

That jumping the line only applies on weekdays. Weekends it first come first serve, except from 8am to 10am which is members only.

NJ only issued 1195 CCW permits
I have no clue what radio show you are talking about, please provide me a link. I just find it to be a low number if that is the case as I would think there would be a heck of a lot more retired law enforcement officers than 1195 and that does not even include armored or security guards. It just seems way too low.
-
NJ only issued 1195 CCW permits
Are you sure what is included in this? I am fairly certain retired LEO is covered by totally separate rules regarding carry. I doubt this included armored car or security either. Even if it only includes average Joes that could "prove" justifiable need that is still under 1200 per 6,000,000 which is about 0.02% - which is effectively not significantly different than ZERO!

With 21 ports the wait should not be too bad. You might even have no wait if you want to use the simulator while you wait for a port. If you never tried that it is worth a try, you might get hooked too.
