This is yet another reason why we need to shut down the GWB and NJ Transit, there is no way to prevent people using these two transport modes without having them used for Suicide - so we must shut them down. Just sayin

I sure hope our trade groups, perhaps some lawyers like Nappen and others, have a similar suit printed up and waiting for January of next year so it can be filed on the same date Trenton tries to screw us. Simultaneously should be a class action against the state for an illegal taking requiring them to buy back all mags over 10 rounds at the greater of fair market value or what was paid for them.

That comment reminded me of this: Saw an add from Surplus ammo that showed a case of ammo a glock and two mags and there were very explicit in the small print to state that the deal did NOT include the glock or the magazines.

Went to a dermatologist recently for a general check up and she asked if I spend a lot of time in the sun. I explained that I do as I do a lot of competitive pistol shooting. She was very interested as both she and her husband are gun owners, but she explained that they had left all their guns in Ohio at his mother's house when they moved to NJ as the laws here are so crazy. She was asking me if there were any outdoor ranges where they could go shooting. Some doctors are cool with guns.

Big deal, it is there for the Russians to hack

If you have never shot anything other than standing in a port shooting at one target this match is ok. Other than that I found it immensely boring. Go out and try USPSA or IDPA or knockdown or static steel matches - much more fun!

...Along with American Eagle, Remington, Herters, Blazzer, and a few other brands.

No blue boxes, nice guess

Nah, I did not state who made the ammo.

I had a gun replaced by a factory ammo company that made the reloads that I used that blew up my 1911. They gave me a bunch of crap at first how their policy, blah blah blah. I told them I bet the ATF would be very interested in learning about the double loaded ammo they were selling - they quickly agreed to send me a non-disclosure agreement in exchange for buying me a new gun.

AR500 should be fine, but you should double check with Sarge who is supposed to approve such.

Attic fans are great, or they are terrible. I mean that 100%. The problem with most attic fan installations is they end up pulling conditioned air out of your home and venting it out the roof. If you go in your attic and pull back insulation you will see lots of penetrations in most houses from wiring, duct work, plumbing stacks and often just gaps in Sheetrock. If you run an attic fan in a house like that it will pull air from all those openings. I had a foot of loose fiberglass blown into my attic on top of the existing fiberglass bats. Before I did that I pulled up all the batting and caulked around every single penetration and totally sealed the attic from the house below. Now the attic fans with correct baffles does a great job of keeping the attic cooler without sucking out conditioned air.

I love the smell of Ballistol !

Take a look at Ooma.

Yes, had earned distinguished expert or some such title in all calibers.

Yes messing around, somewhat. But in all seriousness the guns that seem to have the most issues at matches are guns like 2011's. It seems the more one spends on a gun the tighter the tolerances and the more prone to failures they are. A few years ago I took my father who at the time was 80 to the range. He had not touched a gun in over 50 years but had quite a bit of experience commanding an ordnance facility North of the 38th in Korea. When I handed him my S&W Performance Center 1911 he asked why I had a 1911 as they were crap. He was basing this on the ones he had in Korea which were so loose and sloppy that as he put it you would be lucky to hit the wide side of a barn with them. He proceeded to dump a full magazine into the Alpha area of the target at ten yards. His response was wow, these sure are better than the old style 1911's. My response was wow, eight alphas after not touching a gun in 50 years!

Yup Rand Paul stated it was an AR-15. Could he really tell that when the shooter was by the third base dugout and he was on the other side of the outfield fence. At least he changed his automatic weapons fire comment to semi-automatic. But he also stated that 50 to 60 shots were fired before the guy had to reload - I find that questionable at best. Here come the gun ban cries in ....three.....two............ ARG! Oh and then they asked Rand Paul if he had security and he said it was better not to discuss things like that. But in the next sentence he said if the two capitol police officers had not been there they all would have been dead. To me that says he has no security. I find it odd that none of these Congressmen nor Senators were carrying either.

Yup, those 2011's sure don't like dust, dirt, sand, cold, certain ammo; and get finicky if you look at them cross eyed too

I shot my Glock G35 - it eats sand

Well keep an eye out for me next month, I enjoyed the match so much I will probably make the trek again next time. Would love to see them. You could always email them to me

This was my first time making the trek to CJ for a USPSA match, most definitely worth the drive. Nine stages and some of them were really great stages. Seems they must have had a big sale on no shoot targets, boy were there a lot of them out there

While the above might be true it was Just announced the other day that China will be increasing their purchases of US debt.

All of these problems talked about can and will be fixed. It may take states like CT, NJ and IL to go bankrupt; but the insanity will end because it will be proven once again that you do run out of other people's money. Yes Social Security no longer has a locked box and is a legalized Ponzi Scheme. But that too can be fixed. They patched it in 1986 but it needs to really be fixed. When it was originally started people retired at 65 and died shortly after with something like 12 people contributing for each one collecting. Now I think that ratio is something like three to one. The solution is to look at life expectancy and quality of life and probably raise the age to collect to something like 75. As far as the stock market, well it is one of the best predictors of the future - it is always looking at what might be rather than what was.

oy vey. If Blodget is involved just ignore it.
