***Revolver Neutral Special Steel Match*** @ CJRPC 6/30/13
Thank you for the clarification. But just to make sure people don't get in trouble I assume that means that when at the Range I can use your revolver - BUT it would not be acceptable for me to come to your home and borrow your revolver to take to the range without you.

What is all this talk about borrowing a revolver - isn't that an illegal transfer in the People's Republic of NJ????

Any computer Guru's here? I need some help badly!!
Thanks but I want to stick with a computer, not a fruit!!!! I love my iPhone and my iPad as they are great tools, but for real work I want to stick with a non-proprietary system that I can customize as I want. I have never seen an Apple computer that will let me install six hard drives, install my choice of graphics card, etc.....

Don't have another machine I want to screw with, but I could just put the image on the SSD and give it a go. But my concern is that maybe it works for a while and then craps out again. Think I'll just trash it and get a new one. They have dropped in price quite a lot and the new ones are faster too. As for the freezer trick, that only works on physical hard drives - an SSD has no moving parts so that won't do anything.

Did not over clock but cooling could have been an issue. I blew out about 14 pounds of dust. But I think the issue is either he SSD crapped out or just a sector got messed up. I booted with Acronis and restored an image from a month ago to an old 300gig drive I had laying around. I then swapped out the SSD with that drive and am up and running. So the question is do I dare to. Reformat and put an image on the SSD or should I just trash it? If I trash it should I replace it with another SSD or one of the hybrid Hd/ssd units?

Where To Purchase First Handgun?
I would not be concerned with the locks failing, its very rare. If it concerns you, it is possible to remove the lock mechanism and there is a company on the web that sells a plug to go in the hole.

Need camera advice
I know I'm late to the table here buy am an avid Nikon guy. I have owned d40, D80, D90, D5000, D300, D700 and D800e. All will take good pictures. Cameras are consumer electronics and are outdated quickly and drop in price quickly. Put your money is good lenses. I have purchased almost all my stuff very lightly used on Craigslist and done very well. Have someone who knows the stuff go with you and you can score some big savings. Now that the D7100 is out I would highly suggest a low mileage D7000 as the best deal in town.

357 or 44 revolver what would you choose?
I did, I got a S&W686+ 4" and love it. .38 spl is a pleasure to shoot while .357mag pack one heck of a wallup for HD.

Just think how much fun it would have been if we all could have gone in and shot up all the old walls to help in the demolition process.

Not a Dell or HP, its a system I build on an ASUS mother board with an Intel i7 processor. I pulled the memory and reseated it all and now the system reads the correct amount of memory. I agree with you on the one AV program, but the others are anti-malware and anti-trojan programs and don't conflict with the AV. The system seems OK now, just a little sluggish with the old 300GB hard drive. Think I will go out and get a new SSD and hopefully be back in business. I wonder if they will let me take the old SSD to the range and shot the crap out of it

I had not installed anything recently, that is why this is so strange. I have Symantec Endpoint Security, Malwarebytes, and some other anti-trojan stuff so I don't think it anything like that. The system is sluggish now, but I think it might be the old drive. My concern is that right now in task manager I am only seeing 16gigs of ram while I have 24 gigs installed. Its Triple channel memory, two triples of 12 gigs each - so why on earth it is only showing 16 has me very perplexed. I did take them out and put them back in earlier - so perhaps something is not seated correctly? Will have to check but have to go out soon.

Any computer Guru's here? I need some help badly!!
Troy, thanks I will keep that in mind. I am fairly good at this stuff, as this is a machine that I built myself about three years ago - but I am running out of options. Mikey - I will take you up on that pm offer. Mosin Fan - yes I was able to do that, and even copied a couple of files off of it. My gut is telling me that something is wrong with the SSD, but that does not explain why my USB drive won't boot the system either- but as I said I never did try it so it might not be bootable. PS - pulled the SSD and put a backup image that was about six weeks old onto an old 300gig HD, system booted and seems to be running. Guess I will have to give it a while and see if it stays good. Very very strange.

I was browsing weather.com yesterday and my Win7 x64 PC gave me some warning and rebooted to a blue screen. And that is all she wrote, can't get it back working. I tried safe mode and still get a blue screen. Tried the Win7 install disk to do a repair with no luck either. Nothing I do will get it to boot, even tried just a command prompt boot in safe mode and no go. About four months ago I made a bootable USB external drive, but stupid me I never tried to see if it worked. I tried it today and it too gives me the BSOD. I have a Hiren's boot CD diagnostic disk which does boot the machine using a mini version of XP - that works fine. It has diagnostics on it and I ran all the hardware checks and the machine passes fine. Any idea for a next step - I am pulling out what little hair I have left

Freedom Munitions squibs
I've used a lot of their ammo in both new and remanufactured form and it has all gone bang with no issues. Have used 9mm, .40cal, .45cal, .38 spl, and .357mag. I actually find it cleaners than many other brands. The only one issue I ever had was one round of .40cal had the bullet depressed slightly. I contacted them just to let their QC folks know. They asked me for the code from the inside of that box and then sent me a box of 50 at no cost to make up for that one round.

Another round of bills.
The seven day thing is about as stupid as they can get. Even if it made any sense for a first time purchaser, what purpose does it do to make me wait seven days to get a gun if I already own several others? Don't they understand if I wanted to do something in the "heat of the moment" I could you use my other weapons? Idiots, they are idiots. Maybe it is something in the water in Trenton.

S2723 Revises Firearm Purchaser ID and handgun purchase permits (Sweeney, Norcross, Weinberg)
Glad my license does not expire till June '16, at least I get to keep my real FID card till then and can buy things out of state. This really sucks, Christie had better veto this crap.

So the consensus seems to be I am probably OK, and hey if wrong, I'm sure you guys will come visit me where the state will having you pay for my free meals, free board, and free health insurance - not to mention protection with armed guards

Hollow point "transport" Question????
OK, but what about the answer to my question. Is it legal in NJ for me to pickup hollow point rounds at a UPS facility and drive them myself to my home.
