Just got back from Old Bridge and had a great time. I was in Squad one, so I don't think I met up with anyone here.

I have a Generac portable 7500 Watt continuous unit and it works great.

The White House announced on Thursday that it intends to “ban almost all re-imports of military surplus firearms to private entities” through executive order, which would effectively shut down the 110-year-old Civilian Marksmanship Program. In a Fact Sheet published on Whitehouse.gov today referencing the upcoming executive order the ban on importing military weapons is designed to “keep military-grade firearms off our streets.” Exceptions for import may be allowed for museums. The CMP tightly controls the distribution of obsolete military weapons. The program was created by the U.S. Congress as part of the 1903 War Department Appropriations Act with the purpose of allowing civilians to hone their marksmanship skills, should they later be called into military service. Participants receiving firearms through the CMP must comply with all state and federal firearm laws and undergo a background check conducted by a dealer holding a Federal Firearms License in order to receive the gun. Additionally, they must also be a member of a CMP affiliated shooting club, making participating in the program more difficult than anyone trying to purchase a firearm through usual retail channels. The Civilian Marksmanship Program was administered by the United States Army from 1916 through 1996 when it was changed to the Corporation for the Promotion of Rifle Practice & Firearms Safety, a 501© (3) organization federally chartered by the U.S. Congress. There are no data indicating any of the weapons involved in homicide were imported surplus military rifles. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s homicide crime statistics, rifles accounted for only 323 deaths out of 12,664 homicides in 2011, the most recent data set provided by the FBI. “Apart from a donation of surplus .22 and .30 caliber rifles in the Army’s inventory to the CMP, the CMP receives no federal funding,” the CMP website states, adding that they have been overwhelmed by requests and orders are taking 30-60 days to ship product. The rifles that the Executive Order would affect are typically from U.S. allies and are pre-Vietnam era. Without the importation of these rifles, the CMP is likely to become defunct and thus destroying a 110 year tradition of saving military arms and their civilian ownership.

My bad, I was thinking it was the one with the lighter frame.

Why a 586 rather than a 686. .357 in a 586 sounds a little much. I have a 686+ and love it.

That is pure BS. My assumption is that if I send someone a text I would expect they would wait until they are stopped to read it. But that is not the point anyway, it comes down to responsibility of the driver. What are they going to do next charge a sports commentator when some gets into an accident because the radio just announced a big play in a game and the driver was too busy listening to it on the radio and took their eyes off the road? This is pure horse sheeet!

Amazing, the Fricken Nanny State.

I think I am going to try it. Not sure about using my .40cal Glock G22 or my 9mm Beretta 92FS.

Just more proof that LIBERAL = IDIOT !!!

Yea, I use it all the time. I was wondering what a human might have to say about it.

I might give this a try. How long a trip is it from Morristown?

Ok that makes sense then, I guess what it does is sync the waves so they are producing at the same frequency like my solar inverters have to work together.

How can you do that? I always thought that without special equipment that would create some bad problems as they are likely running at different frequencies. I have a solar array on my roof and I know each time they go online the inverters have to sync with the frequency of the utility power before they come online or bad things will happen. I would imagine that with two generators running at out of sync frequencies you would end up with lots of spikes and troughs in voltage.

If you are having such trouble with this concept you should either get rid of all the 30 round magazines and only use 15 even if you are in PA, or do something like paint the 30 round mags dayglo yellow or orange so you won't accidently bring them into NJ. Think this thread is reaching the point of a dead horse

Back to the first part of your into, I always thought that if a cop failed to show the case is thrown out not postponed. Isn't that a case of the DA failing to produce a witness and the case should be dismissed. edit- looks like while I was typing someone beat me to this.

So sorry to hear of your loss, I know from personal experience how hard this can be. This poem made me feel better when I lost one of mine, I hope it does the same for you: Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... Author unknown...

At least the people's republic of NJ screws everyone equally

EXCELLENT!!!! Was there this morning and the place is really starting to look impressive. Had just come off the range and was talking with Brad, waved to you as you were going in but guess you did not see me. I almost didn't see you as there seems to be a lot less of you than there used to be!!!

Nothing more than any organization does that does target marketing. The really scary crap is what the 0bungler organization did for the last election with the detailed profiling of just about every citizen to figure out how to market to them - now THAT is scary stuff!

I too wondered about this when I first saw the forms. But they do say to the best of your knowledge, so you really don't even have to know the person at all. Give your opinion, if you are wrong you are wrong. Heck the person could be your best friend that you have known all your life, but if they wanted to keep you from knowing about their drug or arrest issues you might never know anyway. The entire process is a stupid joke.

Carpool with guns? Interesting. So you are going to drive a non-direct route to a range with a gun and pick someone else up with a gun. Doesn't the people's republic of NJ make this a very grey area of legality????

What is the big red thing that looks like a huge capacitor? What does it do for the system?

Good point on the power supply. I have a good UPS feeding the main system, the USB2 units were just plugged into the wall - my bad!

I've got all my data on drives other than the boot drive - just data. Most stuff is also backed up onto USB3 and eSATA external drives. Not sure I see the value of NAS. What does that do for me that having the drives in my local box does not do, especially since my box can hold ten or twelve drives.

At least the 1mw limit is not applying to lasers designed for guns - go figure.
