would you use a 1911 for home defense?
I would not, even though I have two very nice 1911's. My HD gun is my Glock G22. Why? Because it holds 15+1 and is super reliable. I have never had it jam or have any malfunction what-so-ever. That is not to say my 1911's are not very reliable - just not as reliable as my Glock.

My FB message of the day to the governor
Dear Governor Christie, I hope you had a great 4th of July, even though my Independence day really sucked. I was anxiously waiting to hear the announcement that you had given the million plus gun owners in New Jersey their independence from Sweeney's draconian gun bills to no avail. Perhaps it was because you were busy with your family, everyone deserves a day off. But hopefully you will be back to work today and will prove you are not a RINO and VETO Sweeney's gun control bill which will cost the state tens of millions of dollars, do NOTHING to reduce gun violence and harm all legal gun owners in the state of New Jersey.

My FB message of the day to the governor
Don't know if he does or not, but someone there does and opinions get tallied. I post the same on lots of threads on his page so lots of others that visit the page see it as well and hopefully some get motivated to respond in kind. Posted the same on the Morristown Patch.com page today.

Message for July 4th to Christie
Happy July 4th to all. Here is my message of the day to Gov. Christie via his FB page: Dear Governor Christie I guess you have decided to wait for today, Independence Day, to give legal gun owners something to celebrate with your veto of Sweeney's bill S2723 which aims to take away basic rights from legal gun owners while wasting tens of millions of dollars in state monies. Take notice he is just like Obama with health care - no real budget estimates for this faulty bill that will end up with huge costs and unexpected problems. Today is the day for your Veto. If you let this become law the only way you will see the inside of the Whitehouse is if somebody else invites you to dinner. Do the right thing, don't be a RINO, Veto S2723 today!!!

What a life my dog has
Ha Ha!!! There is a nice Cedar filled comfy dog bed under a table on the deck, yet she picks this chair - go figure.

Ammo dealer photocopied my FID and DL....is that legal?
They should be asking for it at your range assuming you are buying it for your own gun. IF you are "buying" it for a rental gun then it is different and they don't need to ask for it.

My FB message of the day to the governor
If my memory is correct when he was first elected he created a job with a title like "director of new media" for $80k a year for someone to handle FB and Twitter.

Gun ranges in Northern NJ that rent firearms to "single" visitors
I always like to meet new people and would be glad to go shooting with anyone at RTSP during the week. I normally go when they first open in the morning.

References for FID application - Reference residence req't?
The only problem is that the local police chief gets to issue these at his discretion. He could claim you are of bad character because you don't want to play by the rules. Yes you could take it to court and eventually, after lots of time and money, win -- but is it worth it? Only you can answer that. That is the problem with letting things be non-standard and discretionary.

Is the front license plate optional in NJ?
Go figure those crazy criminals.

"Residency Issue"
You are over thinking this. There is nothing in the law that says you may not have multiple residences, nor does it say primary residence.

References for FID application - Reference residence req't?
WOW I think it is illegal for them to make you provide the self stamped envelop also - that is an extra fee. The entire reference thing is a total joke if you read what they ask. They ask if the person has a criminal record, if they are a drug users and other questions which even if you know them really well you might not know the answers to. Isn't that what the criminal and mental health background checks are supposed to uncover? Its an entirely stupid process.

I don't think RTSP has that policy yet, but might be considering it. They are located in Randolph, NJ - http://www.rtsponline.com/

What do you mean I don't have a front plate officer? Wow, someone must have stolen it, thanks for letting me know

My FB message of the day to the governor
Each day I sent Christie a message or two via his FB page, and also post it as comments on some of the threads on his page. Here is today's love note: Another crappy day here in Morris County, its grey outside, and the mood is very grey inside as I woke to not hear any news about your Veto of S2723. Are you having another Bromance this time with Sweeney, let's hope not. It’s time to celebrate Freedom, so let's be able to celebrate the 4th in NJ with your VETO of S2723. In case you forgot which bill that was, its Sweeney's attack on the second amendment that will cost the state tens of millions of dollars, do nothing to stop gun violence, and restrict the rights of the most legal of citizens in this state. Do the right thing, don't be a RINO - Veto this crap legislation TODAY!!!!

USPSA @ Shongum 07/06/13
Thanks Bob. I have plenty of both 9mm and .40cal, but I think I will stick with the stock .40cal. While I can shoot 9mm slightly better, the gun is much more reliable with .40cal. I have never had it jam or fail to extract with .40 cal. It hardly ever does it with 9mm, but every once in a while it might - so why ask for trouble.

USPSA @ Shongum 07/06/13
I assume there should be no issues with my Glock G22 holster as it is a run of the mill BLACKHAWK! Serpa CQC Gun Metal Grey Sportster Holster. As for mag pouches I only have a double one so I guess that means 20 rounds on the belt and another 10 in the gun for a total of 30 rounds. I have a fourth mag, but no place to put it other than a pocket I figure this will be fun and have very low expectations. If I come in any place other than dead last I will consider it a win for sure. BTW: How many rounds of ammo should I come with?

USPSA @ Shongum 07/06/13
So, if I understand what you are saying I should switch my registration to Limited 10 with my G22. I only have a holster and mag pouch for that gun, so I guess that will be the way to go. Oh and yes, Howard is my real name

USPSA @ Shongum 07/06/13
OK, great vidoes. Watched them all and am now not totally clueless - just partly clueless Sent you a pm with lots of specific questions. Actually I'll post them here as well so others can answer and "other" others can benefit from the answers: If I shoot my Glock G22 (.40cal) do I have to in production class fire .40 cal or can I use my KKM 9mm conversion barrel? How does the timing work? What I mean is how many rounds will I be expected to fire in what amount of time? Will I have to shoot weak hand only? How many mags do I need? I assume I only need enough to hold what I shoot in a given "round" and can reload when not shooting? What sort of distances will I be shooting at? I assume it starts at about 7 yards and goes out further - but how far? What Squad should I try to sign up for so I can meet up with some folks from here?

USPSA @ Shongum 07/06/13
Would you be kind enough to give some more details about the event as I have never participated in one of these and am not sure what is involved. Not sure I understand some of the categories and such or how many rounds I need or how long this goes on for, etc.... Thanks. Not sure I even get some of the registration questions (major vs minor?), boy am I feeling stupid this morning. Thanks.

Iphone5 or Galaxy s4??
I'm a PC guy, would never use a Mac, but love my iPhone5 and iPad. I don't want to carry a mini-tablet in my pocket, that is why the iPhone wins - it is just the right size and works great.
