Second order effects? You are sounding like Nancy Pelosi telling us we need to give more unemployment insurance and more handouts because those people will spend all the money and improve the economy. BS! Guess you have never heard the expression when a door closes a window opens. Often times the loss of a job turns out to be a blessing in disguise as you find an even better job down the road, I know I sure have. A failed operation on life support is not good for anyone, not even the employees.

Can't agree with you here on several grounds. If you are going to be a big box store you need to sell all the components that fit in the category. People are going to your establishment for price and selection as you generally don't offer great service. If you can't get what you need it is not worth making the trip. That means even if you aren't making much money on .22LR you still stock a little but don't dedicate lots of square footage to it. That in part is why places like Channel and Rickel's died when Homedepot entered the market. Although HD is now going down the same rat hole. I know when I really need stuff I am better off traveling further to go to Lowes and they actually have stuff in stock. As for people losing jobs I don't think anyone is cheering for that. One could actually just as easily argue the other side of that point. A failing business does not have the ability to pay top wages, so by the store failing those employees will be forced to get new jobs hopefully with a profitable company that will actually pay them more. So, this failure could be viewed as a positive thing for those employees in the long run.

Goodbye, hated that place and have not been there in years.

Congrats! Enjoy her. Just remember guns like to be in packs just like my Siberian Huskies, so you will have to get at least two more to keep her company!

Here is a picture of the PPQ, the 5" has the ported slide (not the barrel) and is legal for production in USPSA or SSP in IDPA. It has adjustable rear sights too, but I like fiber optics better. When I got mine it was $620 with free shipping, seems to have gone up some since then. I generally like metal as well, but this thing really rocks. A friend was raving about it and told me he was going to buy one when he got some permits. I told him I was going to buy it and put two boxes ammo through it and if I did not love it he could buy it at my cost. The next day I called him and told him he would have to find his own

That is what is so nice about the PPQ, it is just about perfect out of the box. The trigger is absolutely amazing, with great reset. Apex makes a drop in trigger for it, but I don't see the value in it. The Apex trigger has a shorter pull and reset but is much harder to pull (more pounds force). I highly recommend he PPQ to anyone, I like it much better than my Glock G34 which has a bunch of trigger and spring work I've done on it. The only thing I have changed on the PPQ is the sights, which I have replaced with Dawson Fiber optics on the front and their Charger rear. I love Dawson sights, and if you replace with a set they will guarantee that POA matches POI. If it does not they will send you different height front sights until you get it the way you want it at no cost.

Well if you really want to get something I highly recommend the Walther 5" PPQ M2 in 9mm. I like it even better than my CZ's. Anyone that has tried mine, many owning VP9's and 320's have immediately said that will be their next purchase. But the bigger question is why are you playing the permit game that is motivating you to buy stuff just because you have permits? I get 4 permits every six months that way I always have one in hand and feel no pressure to use one because it is going to expire.

I went to a seminar given by Frank Pisano who is a NJ lawyer that has a practice involving firearms in NJ. He stated that while nothing in the written law prohibits transport of loaded magazines that case law in NJ has found people guilty of transporting loaded firearms simply because they had loaded magazines and said not to do it. You could probably contact him to find out specific cases if you are really interested. I look at it this way, if a lawyer who specializes in this area of the law says not to do it, it is probably prudent to take his advice. When I go to the range I typically only load a few rounds in a magazine anyway. Full mags at the range more often than not result in your quickly converting dollars to noise with little skill assessment or value.

Sure glad these things are not legal - I could not afford the ammo I would go through with it

If you get decent reception in your area I highly suggest taking a look at Ringplus.net which is an NVMO for Sprint. They offer some great rate plans, many free and periodic killer free plans. My main phone is a Verizonwireless which has the best service and the highest prices. My wife has a Samsung Galaxy S4 that I bought new on Amazon for $85 that we have on Ring+. I signed up during one of their many promos each month and for the price of $0.00/mo each and every month she gets 1750 minutes of calls, 1750 texts and 1.75 gigs of data. I have an Apple 5c that I bought from a guy that got a new phone for only $50 that is in mint shape and have it on another plan all for $0.00/month with 750 minutes of calls, 2000 texts and 1.0 gigs of data each month.

Justifiable need is a violation of the Federal Constitution, and is just plain stupid. It is equivalent to saying you cannot have a smoke detector or fire extinguisher until you prove you once had a fire and have a high probability of having another one in the future. Most victims are first time victims, time for Democrats to grow a brain.

I am fairly certain Joe Roberts (the match director) was talking about being a new USPSA participant not someone that never shot at the club as that really should not be an issue. They have a good facebook page and you can get details about matches there.

It is one match and you can shoot it either Saturday or Sunday. No new shooters are allowed on Saturday and participation on Saturday is capped as it does not start till noon rather than early morning.

Don't think they make a safe big enough to hold all my ammo

Buds and Kentuckygunco are good. As far as groups check out Mewe.com which is where a lot of the FB groups have fled to.

Perhaps you should invest in the 1/2 HP model, the 1/3rd might be underpowered for your needs.

I have a Beretta and several Glocks and have no real issues with either. I think a Beretta is only the right gun if you have freakishly large hands as the grip is just huge. That makes it very hard to reload the gun without changing your grip which costly you time. I also don't like the decocker idea, but that is just personal preference. As for the Glock, well yes the main safety is between your ears - but in some ways that is a positive thing. I have seen many people try to shoot guns without taking off the safety. Unless you train a lot that can happen, especially in a high pressure situation. Thus, you might be better off not having an external safety to think about. Also guns like the Beretta which are DS/SA have different trigger pulls and many people tend to yank that first shot due to the hard trigger pull, another reason something that is more consistent like a Glock might be better. Finally, Glocks are highly reliable and unlike many guns almost always go bang when you want or need them too. There really is no one right answer nor gun. If there was, there would only be one type of gun.

Perhaps these people should sue Honda as it was a Honda that he drove to the scene so it is partly their fault as well. Let's not forget ExxonMobil as there is a high probability that it was their fuel that powered the Honda that carried him and the guns to the scene. See where this is going yet? Frivolous suit at best.

I find that hard to believe as he does not live in NYC, he lives on Long Island and his wife comes into my Mom's office all the time.

I saw this a few days ago and he had some very good points to make. Have not listened to him in many many years.

There is no breakout on my bill from Cablevision about a lease fee for a modem. The only discussion about modem is a charge of $49.95 for each additional modem they rent to you. There is however a footnote 13 on the heading Internet services on the rate guide. I got my magnifying glass out and read the footnote. It says, "Modem lease fees applies to new Optimum Online customers". So, I guess I am grandfathered into a plan where there is no fee. They have also replaced mine for free on at least to occasions when there were "issues".

I've got a Netgear R6300v2 and have been very happy with it http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Router-AC1750-Gigabit-R6300v2/dp/B00EM5UFP4/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1460556054&sr=1-1&keywords=netgear+r6300v2

I use the same ones, although I am thinking of changing them. Since I have been doing this so long and they know me I am thinking of using the police Chief and the clerk who files the forms

YUP. FOPA is actually more stringent than NJ "a sealed container" which can be a tied paper bag.
